We Earned a "GAME DAY" Class Dojo Party! :)

Since we had earned over 4,000 Class Dojo points, we got to have a "GAME DAY" Class Dojo Party!  However, it wasn't all day.  It was only in the afternoon.  But, it was a REALLY FUN afternoon!  Mrs. Pfeiffer taught us how to play "Left, Right, Center" which was a really good way to reinforce knowing your left from your right, too.  :)

If you have played "Left, Right, Center" before, you know that the game isn't ever over until it's over!  :)  And...sometimes you just feel like "ugh..."  (see Octavia's face below).  It is a bummer when you lose your tokens again--even right after you had gotten them back.  ;)

Congrats goes to Mr. Tanner!  He won the first round of "Left, Right, Center" which earned him a Moby hat (from Brainpopjr.com).  

Then, we broke up into small groups.  Some of the groups played "Left, Right, Center" again.  Others played "Checkers" and "Battleship."  WE HAD A LOT OF FUN!!!!!!  :)

 Mrs. Laukhuf even got to play with us. :)

Writing Our Own Folktales

We have been reading several examples of folktales such as "The Tortoise and the Hare," "Why the Camel Has a Hump," and etc.  So, we decided that it would be fun to write our own.  :)  First, we thought about which animal(s) that we would like to write about and what could we explain about them.  Then we got into small groups and brainstormed different ideas.  Next, we wrote our first draft, revised our own work, and helped to edit another group's paper.  Finally, we typed our final draft and digitally illustrated a picture for it.

Below are our finished folktales.  We hope you like them.  :)
