Today we watched a movie about Elvis Presley! Elvis Presley was famous for being a rock singer. Did you know that Elvis died by getting overdosed by medicine? First we reviewed for our math test on factors and multiples. For writing, we did analogies. After that, we did yoga in the cafeteria, we learned a new pose called tree pose. In yoga Mr. Kootman and other teachers thought we were loud. In language arts we learned idioms. In a book called More Parts the neighbor said this joke will crack you up. This book had very funny examples of idioms.

For reading, we read a long story called Sewed up His Heart. Sewed up His Heart was about Dr. Dan doing heart surgery. In our class chapter book, A Week in the Woods, there is a kid that moves a whole bunch of times. In this part of the book he moved to New Hampshire.

After lunch, we had a fire drill and no one new about it! All in all we made some marbles in the jar, but a lot of kids were talking so we lost some also.
