We have been learning about bats!  I learned that bats are nocturnal which means they hunt for their food at night and sleep during the day.  ----Rachel

In science we are learning about land habitats.  In a woodland forest you can find deer, mice, frogs, and raccoons!  Mushrooms also grow there.  There are a lot of plants there and it has all four seasons.  Moss also grows on the trees.-----Katie

We are going to do a book report next Friday.  Mine is about snakes.  I will be interviewing a snake for my project.  We are learning about compound words.  -----Spencer

We are also learning about adjectives.  Adjectives are words that describe nouns.  My favorite adjective is humongous.  The dictionary is humongous!  We are also learning about Gideon.  Gideon was a farmer that God chose to be a leader for the people.  ----Joshua

We have been learning about maps in Social Studies.  We are working on making our own maps.  They need to have symbols and a map key and a compass rose.  I added Six Flags, a pumpkin patch, and a zoo to my map! -----Gracie

We have been working on our tall tales.  Mine was about a time I went to the baseball game and we were in the first row! I said that I ate 1,000 Dip n' Dots and that I caught 80 foul balls! ----Jack W.

In my tall tale my mom and I went to Schnucks.  The real part was that we got some food, but then we tried to fit it all in our car, but it didn't fit, so we ate it!!!  We got so big that a helicopter had to come and pick us up!!  -----Jack B.

In math today we did Pumpkin math.  We weighed them, measured them, and tested to see if they would sink or float.  ----Landen
