Week 4 - Thanksgiving is here...already?!

 Title: Thanksgiving is here...already?!

Author: Mikul

Date: October 13, 2020 

Classroom Quote of the week: "What did Woody say?”in reference to Damian Woody, former NFL Football Player and ESPN analyst who helps us make predictions in our Football Pool.

Song of the Week: - Beat It - Michael Jackson. We played this song since Eddie Van Halen did the guitar on the track and he died of throat cancer. We talked about his dedication to his instrument and the hours of practice it took to become a master musician. Check out this close-up of his guitar solo.

All about me

I´m Mikul. I´m a student in this class. I like technology, programming, and Minecraft.

The Best Thing About This Week (The Rose)

The Mystery Meet on Friday went well. We found our Mystery Class in Delton, Michigan in fewer than 20 questions.

We also did a Mystery Search using a program called Padlet and found another school near Tampa Bay, Florida.

The Worst Thing About This Week (The Thorn)

The worst thing was probably how two people in a kindergarten class tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, we only had 9 students in our class on Friday and only 10 on Tuesday. Hopefully, things will be back to normal soon.

Mathematic Mentions

We tried using open number lines to find difference in subtraction. We also continued solving logic puzzles in class.

Literacy Links

We worked on memes in class about Chromebook Rules and COVID experiences. You can see our Chromebook Memes here and our COVID experience memes here.

We each picked a song released before 1980 and made an Animoto video on it, we are now having a tournament to see which song is the best. You can see all of our Animoto Videos here.

Hyperdocs were introduced this week. The hyperdoc is about a book we will be reading called Prairie Lotus.

We are going to be connecting with two classes from Pinellas Park, Florida and Delton, Michigan.

The Arts

We worked on our good copy of our eyes using pastel this time. All the Eyes Art can be seen on our Class Webpage.

In drama, we presented our tableaux where we said our lines and then froze. Some people took on a challenge to memorize a long speech either by themselves, or with one or two partners.

What are we looking forward to? (The Bud)

We are looking forward to hopefully getting back to normal after two people in our school tested positive for COVID-19. Hopefully, we will all be back in class and safe soon.

Quote of the Week

The quote came from Afsa this week. She wanted everyone to remember that, despite the cruelty in the world, we have to remember that it is a place of beauty too.

#HClass24 - It's automatic, it's systematic, it's hyyyyyydromalic, it's Grease Lighting! - December 3, 2024

  Introduction:  Hello, my name is Takshi! This week I will write the blog for #HClass24. I like playing the guitar, reading, writing, and scrapbooking. I’m also an author of a novelette (It’s almost published). The Rose:  This Wednesday, we went to Saint Andre Bessette High School to see Grease Jr. It was a great musical and the class loved the songs. The actors were exceptionally good and what surprised me the most was the live band also made up of high school students! The band was behind the set, though you could still see it. Overall, the class loved the performance! The Thorn:   Our Thorn of The Week was the cold weather. Unfortunately, it’s extremely windy and cold outside. It also started to snow on Thursday! The temperatures have dropped into the negatives and the wind has picked up quickly.  The Bud: We will get another chance to hang out with our Kindergarten Buddies on Monday. My buddy is Arielle and I look forward to reading and creating with her. ...

#HClassBlog - "Mr. Song's Moustache" - April 21, 2025

Introduction:  Hello everyone! My name is Anakin, and this week, I will be writing the blog for #HClass24. I enjoy doing many things, like playing golf, playing video games and sketching. I am more introverted so I prefer being by myself. The Rose:  We have enjoyed three, 4-day weeks in a row because of Easter and a PD Day. So, we got a nice long break from school and some short weeks in-between. It had to be the best part of this month so far. We also had our first Dance/Social on Friday. It was a lot of fun. Me and Taym trying some dance moves. The Thorn:  Unfortunately, our student teacher Mrs. Seaby has left us. She finished her placement with our class. The good news is that she is now qualified to be a teacher and she can get paid for her hard work. Maybe, one day, she could come back like Mr. Song did. She might even come back with a mustache like Mr. Song did – but probably not. Ms. Seaby on our Pizza Dough making day. The Bud:  We have been working with an ...

#HClassBlog - "I lost so much money in the stock market game" - April 7, 2025

Introduction:  Hello everyone! My name is Mason, and this week, I will be writing the blog for #HClass24. I enjoy doing many things, like playing basketball, playing the piano and drawing. I am an extrovert and love hanging out with friends and family. The Rose: This week, we started a project called “Holiday or Holinay.” Everyone in our class gets a certain day to research holidays that are associated with it. Then we decide if it’s (A Holiday) or if it’s just pure trash (A HoliNay). Each student creates an engaging presentation with ridiculous sound effects to help us make the presentation more enchanting. For example, I have May 7 which is National Barrier Awareness Day. I would call that a HoliDAY because it is a time to recognize barriers that exist for people with disabilities. May 7 is also National Carnivorous Plant Day. I would call that a HoliNAY because a plant has no idea it is a holiday. Sure, botanists and plant lovers might want to celebrate this day; but I think the...
