Studying The U.S.A

This week we have been studying immigration.We learned a lot about the U.S.A and how the people came here for freedom war and work. Our teacher gave  us an assignment she gave us a passport and we had to fill it out some of us got rejected and we talked about how it felt getting rejected and not getting rejected some people who got rejected said they didn't like it and the people who did make it said they liked it. Who ever didn't make it the teacher said they had to stay in for recess. But she was just kidding so we didn't have to stay in. Then in a couple weeks, we wrote letters about us pretending to be a immigration and us traveling to Ellis Island and if you passed you can go to new york. If you didn't pass you have to go back home. But most people wrote about making it to Ellis island. it took a really long time but it was so worth it after we got to stamp them with tea bags it made them look really old and like it has been through a lot. We learned a lot about the U.S.A.

Poetry Slam By Claire

Last Thursday the 4th grade had something called a poetry slam, to raise money for our first field trip to the Connecticut science museum. At 6:30 almost all the 4th grade showed up at the cafeteria for the poetry slam. The teachers asked the parents to bring desserts. So it was a dessert party. Then at 7:00 people started reading their poems. Some of the poems were sad, funny, joyful, and a lot other emotions. we are going to the science museum May 25th.

 

A Problem By Robin

A Problem 

By Robin

Figures, numbers, calculations,

whirling round within my mind.

Trying to sum up their speach

Never quite able to.

They always add

another figure just so they go on. 

Once you finish you feel stronger.

Yet you also feel weaker...

Housy Railroad By Cailyn

Housy Railroad
Poem and Photo By Cailyn

On the Housy railroad,
we walked.
On the tracks we follow.
We stopped for the view,
The beautiful dusk sky.
Sun shining against the broken glass.
Over the underpass we skipped.
Night sky kicking in,
As we walked on the tracks.

Our class story By Olivia

Our class story

   By Olivia     

                 

For the past couple of weeks we have been working on a class story that will be published by one of our classmate’s dad. It took a lot of hard work but it was worth it. Right now we are just about done with our final draft and all we need to do is vote on a title. Yesterday at the end of the day those who wanted to,  wrote on a piece of paper the title they wanted to have as the story. Now today Ms. Cosel is going to have all the titles up on the board these are some of the titles:

The portal ventures

What the?

 Journey to the mysterious island

       The adventure of Isabelle and Eli

The mysterious journey

The journey

This afternoon we drew and the one who had the most was The Journey.  After we drew we got straight to the editing. We made so many changes! Oh, I can’t believe I forgot to tell you about the story! So, there is a girl named Isabelle and a boy named Eli and they go on a crazy adventure. The first place is a different dimension, then in a person’s nose, and last the ocean. They meet lots of different cool creatures and they work together to achieve lots of goals and most importantly have fun. We all are going to get a copy of the book and we are doing the illustrations our self’s. It will hopefully be a great success and we are very thankful to our classmate’s dad. If he didn’t offer we wouldn’t have the opportunely to do this so thank you!... and good night or day which ever time you are reading this.
