Meaghan and Alexa's Weekly Update...

Hello, this is Agent Meaghan and Agent Alexa reporting from Mrs.Clayton’s class. We have found many amazing things that happened to them in their amazing week. First, they had their Science Test, Then on Thursday, they had art. Last but definitely not least, they had an amazing PJ Day on the last day before break! Hope you guys enjoy our Weekly Update and have an awesome Winter Break! Agent Meaghan Out! This week, in Science we had a Test and finished up our third topic. Our third investigation  was called Fizz Quiz and I think it was the best so far! We have been learning about chemical reactions and chemical equations. We got to test out all sorts of things like mixing baking soda, citric acid, calcium chloride and water together in a bag. The bag blew up with  carbon dioxide and it created a precipitate. We also put baking soda and calcium chloride in a bag and that made a precipitate of calcium carbonate (calcium carbonate is chalk). The Chemical Equations were really fun too! It was fun to learn all the chemical names of items all around us. Next semester, it won’t be science, but it will be Social Studies! This week, we had Art. Most people have finished their Singapore shophouses and pasta boxes. The pasta boxes could get colored with spray paint and glitter if you wanted them spray painted. The Singapore shophouses were fun to make and paint. A shophouse is a shop at the bottom and a house on top and sometimes there are even three floors if you are a rich person. You can even give your pasta box and your singapore shophouse to your parents! Agent Alexa gave her dad her pasta box and her mom her shophouse. I had a bunch of fun making both projects and I am giving my mom my pasta box! This week, we finished our Non-Fiction writing piece. It was fun to gather all of the information. I can’t wait to see what all of the kids wrote about! I bet that all of us (students) thought that research was boring before we started. When we actually started researching, I think that all the kids got even more interested in the topic that they picked. It was really fun to search for books and on the internet for our topics. I (Alexa)had a bunch of fun going on the internet to research more about sloths! I can’t wait to see everyone else's!
On the last day before the winter break, we had our AMAZING PJ day! Since it is the last day of school before break, we got to play dodgeball with Mr.Clayton, Mrs.Clayton’s husband. We also had our second Rock Star Mall! There was a bunch of new stuff and some old stuff at the mall. You can check out what was popular with everyone at the Rock Star Mall by checking Alyssa’s Economist report. I bet Candy was high up on that list! I got 2 pieces of candy! At the end of the day we had our party! We watched A Christmas Carol. While we were watching we got to shop at the mall and drink hot cocoa. We also got to have some yummy treats like special cake pops and we got candy canes and popcorn too! Agent Meaghan and I hope that you have enjoyed our Weekly Update! Sadly, this is the last one. In January, we will have another amazing pair of Agents writing about Mrs.Clayton’s class and what they are doing then! We hope you have a wonderful, wacky, and wondrous Winter Break! Let’s welcome our new student…Alexander! Agent Meaghan and Alexa out!

  1. Alexa and Meaghan did a great job with their weekly update. They added a lot of detail and explained things to make it clear. Even I, who wasn't there could understand it. Great job!

  2. I had lots of fun writing the weekly update. I liked having to point out little parts of the week that would be fun and interesting to write about. I think that Meaghan and I worked really well together and we agreed on anything we thought would work even though we have great ideas ourselves.

  3. This is a very good report, Meaghan and Alexa. I think you did very well with your agent humor. On the second paragraph first line, you first said topic, then you said investigation. I think you should change them both to investigation.
