VICTOR
Hi my name is Victor , my story is about me flying in the night
feeling wild and free but one problem.
Once upon a time a parrot was flying in the sky. He was having so much
fun. “This is so much fun” the parrot said. The parrot [Victor] lost
track of time and was very hungry. Then he had to find his food. He
learned his lesson and kept track of time for then on.

Conservation Art by Chris Jordan!

Last week we looked at the art of Chris Jordan. We looked at a picture of a dinosaur that was composed out of   "40,000 plastic bags, equal to the estimated number of plastic bags consumed around the world every ten seconds." We looked at the artist's version of Starry Night, made from images of "50,000 cigarette lighters, equal to the estimated number of pieces of floating plastic in every square mile in the world's oceans." The pictures inspired us to think of some ways that we can help the earth.

I like to play games and my name is micah

Rhyming Races!

This week we played Rhyming Races. We split up into two teams, Team Victory and Team Jared. Then we made these beautiful flash cards:

The teams saw how many rhymes they could come up with for each word. They could make up words, too, but then they also had to make up definitions.The lists looked like this:

Finally, each team wrote and performed a rap! The were awesome:

2.  A  snowflake also reminds me of my kitten.                                                                                                           
3.  A snowflake reminds me of   ice-cream.                                                                                                                          
4.  A snowflake reminds me of a snowball   fight.                                                                                                  
5.  A snowflake reminds me of milk.                                                                                                                              
6.  A   snowflake reminds  me  of  Charlie Brown.        

By Jon-Luke:

1.       All I remember is playing a game with my friends Mathew and John.

2.       It reminds me of Mr. frosty the ice cream truck that comes to my block.

3.       It reminds me of Frosty the Snow Man that sings.

4.       It reminds me hot cocoa.

5.       It reminds me Christmas and how I get presents.

6.       It reminds me how I play in the snow


By Ms. India:

The porcelain friend that disappears,
The sharp bite of the cold keeps my vision clear.
I’ve had all of fall that I can take
So I sit anxiously, for the arrival of snowflakes.
Frostbitten windows and mountains of snow,
Dearest winter snowflakes, I wish you’d never go.

By Abdul:

Snowflakes snowflakes they get lower and they fall sometimes high they will come along
Snowflake please come along we will eat as you come along snowflakes snowflakes don’t cry
I’ll put in the snow please don’t if you do I might to help and I can’t because I’m sitting back
 Drinking some good old hot cocoa Santa says hoho. Thank you all.

By Imani:

What a snow flake means to me is happiness
and love snow flakes they are very nice and pretty to me. I love the winter it is a nice very nice season . What I get to do in the winter is play and make snow angels and make snow men, with my friends that live on the block I also like to have  snow ball fights . Me and my friends come inside to have some hot cocoa and some cookies . So everyday me and my grandma and my friends go to Germantown Ave. And go ice skatin’. I take lessons I also have my own skates they are white with pink hearts on it. I LOVE THE WINTER AND IT IS VERY FUN.

By Elijah:

1.       The ice texture of the snowflake itself.
2.       The unique design that that every snowflake is different.
3.       The fun you can have with snowflakes.
4.       Snowflakes are just like life though the seasons
5.       You can make a lot of different things you can create with snowflakes
6.       Snow lets you stay in the house and drink hot choclate

By Devin C:

1. Snow,because it is white
and because it's a little cold
and just like a smoothie.

2. Reminds me of ice,
it's round
and a snowflake is round too.

3. My life is about making an igloo
because the igloo is just like snow
but it could turn into ice.

4. If you have a small one
then it's gonna go to melt
in the freezer.

5. When it snows and falls down
I like it when it falls down.
Then I am going to show it to everybody.
If somebody says "Snows don't fall down."
then I am going to prove it to them.

6. It reminds me of a freezer
be cause cold is coming out of it
every time you open it
then stuff is cold.
