WAX MUSEUM
For our February book that we read every month we must read a biography.With our biography we will be participating in a Wax Museum.Wax Museum is when we come after school and act as the famous person we read about.Our Wax Museum will be on March 9,2011.The entire grade will be in it.This year our class will have some famous people we have never had before.Hopefully everyone comes and it will be a big success!READING
This week in reading we had centers.There are 5 different centers.There is independent reading,Time for Kids magazine,guided reading,comprehension packet,and spelling and vocabulary.In spelling and vocabulary we got to play a game called Spelling City on the computer. It helps you with your spelling by playing games and then taking the test. Also we have been learning about homophones.We had a project where we had to write sentences with a homophone in each one.That is what we did in spelling.
SOCIAL STUDIES
This week in Social Studies we learned about the British Monarchy.The British Monarchy is about having kings and queens, and saying if they are better than ordinary person.A guy named Stephen Hasele said that "Anybody that is a citizen should be able to be head of this country".I think he is right because if a queen gives birth, that baby is not different than a citizen's baby because it did not do any thing to earn it.
