Amazing Math Book

“Take out your math workbooks.” said my teacher during the first week of school. We had never used the math books before. I wrote my name on my book. I took a deep breath and I gulped. Then I opened the book. When I started doing it it was easy then it got harder and harder. We have done topics like place value, rounding, mental math strategies, and bar modeling. So far the easiest topic has been place value because all you have to do is put numbers in the correct places and know what they are worth. The most difficult part has been bar modeling because you have to draw and label models and sometimes they require two steps. Here are some numbers that I am able to add mentally after our work on that topic

1+1=2 2+2=4 4+4=8 8+8=16 16+16=32 32+32=64 64+64=128 128+128=256 256+256=512 512+512=1,024 1,024+1,024=2,048 2,048+2,048=4,096 4,096+4,096=8,192 8,192+8,192=16,384 16,384+16,384=32,768 32,768=32,768=65,536. That is a big number and it all started with 1+1!

     

Cursive Writing

What’s cursive? Cursive is a fancy way to write and it is how grown ups write. When you write in cursive all the letters must touch the top and bottom line and if it is sloppy you should probably do it again. Also  you might think it’s hard at first, one time I was learning the letter e and I just did not get It. I kept trying but I could not do it but then I looked at the instructions and I got the hang of it. So it might seem hard but take my advice keep trying because when you try you can do anything. Also people write cursive for parents or friends or if it’s your home work but never do cursive to show off .Most people get interested in  cursive really fast so be a good friend and don’t ignore them help them and you will make a new friend.If you ignore people you won’t get any friends and if you get nervous don’t be afraid to ask a friend.

 

 

 

 

Halloween

Today was the day the day of Halloween. I raced to my classroom, in my basketball player costume, like a cheetah. As I walked into my classroom I heard over the announcements:

“The Halloween parade will begin at 9:15am,” I was putting my morning work in the tray when the announcements went on again:

“All classes please start to line up,” As we approached the front were the Halloween parade there were hundreds of people outside with their cameras out. I only had taken a few steps when my grandparents showed up so I smiled the as the camera flashed as bright as the sun. Next I saw my mom and she took about 10 pictures.

“Smile for the camera” she yelled over all the people at the parade. Finally after all of the pictures and cameras we had a assembly  where all the the classes k-5 come and sing songs about Halloween and some of the 5th graders were playing instruments.

After we came back from the assembly we listen and wrote a Halloween story.  At the end of the day another class came into our room to watch Halloween videos.
