Owl Bloggers 3

In writing we are doing our psa’s(public service announcements.) Different groups have been assigned to different topics, such as smoking, cyberbullying, digital addiction, animal abuse, homelessness etc. We are using the app Splice to create psa’s on all of our topics. We have separated into 8 groups, and each group has a head writer , A head actor and cinematographer, and a director. We goON WEBSITES such as Newseala to get information for our topics. We all share a ipad, AND WE USE THIS APP CALLED SPLICE, WHERE WE Find pictures of our topics , then we record ourselves and add music.
In reading we have just finished our book club books. So now we are working on character posters. Character posters are where we take the main character and draw him or her. But this is no art class, so we also write the characters desires, pressures/struggles, social issues, and many more. Ms. Greller gave books out such as pictures of hollis woods, crash, yolonda’s genius, and others too. Soon after this we will fill out a survey about our experiences with the book club. Then I believe Ms.Greller will have us use our book clubs again sometime in the year. Now to focus more on our read aloud, we have read a lot, and it has gotten a lot more interesting and given us more debating if either there are elves, or no elves. But Ms.Greller is making sure we are ripping out our hair out because she refuses to read us more. But now finally we have one more chapter to go!!!!!!!!! Thankfully she promised she would would finish afternoon of the elves before the break.
In math we wrapped up our unit on multiplying decimals, took the test, and we are now learning how to divide decimals. So far we have covered when you should convert to decimals, or ‘enough to go around’. We have also learned that we can relate this to multiplying decimals. Since most people’s grades dropped on the test for multiplying decimals, Ms.Rached is allowing us (after we take the dividing decimals test) to retake both of them. But, if we do get low scores, she will take into account that these two units, are the hardest units we have ever done when she makes our report cards.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
