Weekly Update 11/16/12

This week's bloggers have a project for the homeless.
 Here is their picture:

Mrs. Ziegenfuss donated some coats that they don't use at her house.


This is one of the boxes that are around the school. 
From left to right they are Jackie, Annie, Emilia, Patricia, and Cassandra

This is just what was in one box! We are collecting clothes for men, children, and maternity women's clothing. Also, we are collecting bedding and toiletries (gently used or new, PLEASE). If you have something to donate, please bring it to Thomas so we can collect them by December 14th. Thank you!


In Social Studies we made maps of the Fertile Crescent and Mesopotamia, using yarn to learn where everything was located. In our group we had to label different places that would be on our test.  It helped us all and it was fun, too.

Math Videos:
In math, we made math videos for different topics like:
Absolute Value, the Coordinate Grid, and more!! All of the videos were interesting, so we're going to let you watch them yourselves!! In the convenience of our blog!! Enjoy!!! Also, congratulations to Annie and Jackie, for getting their math video on the home page of SchoolTube!!!





WEX Personal Narratives
This week we wrote our personal narratives about an important moment in our lives.  We used all of the writing skills we've been practicing this year, especially showing not telling, and using strong verbs and sensory details.  Below we are editing with our partners. If you want to read then, you have to go on google docs or wait until we can bring them home.

∑igma Celebrations:
Pizza Party:  
On Friday we had a pizza party to celebrate 6-12 for finding the most red ribbons during Red Ribbon Week.  Mrs. Ziegenfuss was nice enough to share with Mr. Aho's homeroom. 
Thank you, Mrs. Ziegenfuss, and thanks to PTA for sponsoring this party!

Here are the boys in Mr. Aho's room

And the girls and a few boys in Mrs. Ziegenfuss's room

Look at how much pizza we ate!

Congratulations to Paw PRIDE Students of the Month for November, Claire and Trey!!
