Student News: December 3, 2004

This week in Science we have been
working on physical and chemical changes. We have been doing some science
experiments to understand them. One of them was burning paper. That was a
chemical change because you can't change it back to regular paper. A physical
change could be ripping a piece of paper. That is a physical change because you
can tape or glue it back together. So basically, a physical change is a change
you can fix and a chemical change is a change you can't fix. That is what we've
been learning in Science.
This week we
also learned about
Personification.
Personification is when you take an inanimate object and give it human
qualities. For example, "The moon watches over us when the sun is a sleep." See
how it's saying the moon is watching us. The moon can't
watch.
It's the same with the sun
asleep.
We
learned about Subject
Pronouns. A subject pronoun is something when
you have a sentence and it has: it,
they, I, he, she , we,
or
you and it is a pronoun that is the subject of
the sentence.
This month we started
Better
Answers. Better Answers is something when you
read a story and write the question. So far we have done
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
and
Little Red Riding
Hood with Better Answers. We have to use
transition words and we have to use
chronological
words. We also create a
conclusion.
And this by
James (who wrote his own!):
This week we
saw the Harlem
Rockets in the gym. They did a performance. My
friend Alex got picked to go up and play a basketball game. Some teacher got
picked to play a game where one of the Harlem Rockets would stand in the middle
and pass the ball to a teacher.
