Hi, this the perfect Preston and the amazing Alex bringing you this week’s Weekly Update. We’ll be sharing three things that were special from our awesome week. Number one is Math. Second is counseling. Finally is our Word Study lesson and challenge. These are the three things we’ll be discussing, so we hope you enjoy!
On Monday, we were continuing our journey in geometry. We learned how to find the volume of one irregular shaped solid. You first need to split the solid into two and find the volume of both of solids, and then add them together. The class was told that this lesson was complicated but it’s not. (Once you get the hang of it).
On Tuesday we went to counseling. We learned about being mindful though words. For example you probably love your family the most, but you might say more hurtful things to them than your friends. What we learned today was about thinking before saying somethings? We need to ask ourselves three things: is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind? Those are the key words we have to think about, before speaking. We also learned about being an upstander which is important in bullying. An upstander is someone who reports the bullying before it gets any worse. A bystander is usually somebody that witnesses the victims get bullied and don’t react. So next time you see someone being bullied be an upstander not a bystander and help.
Last, but not least we had Word Study. What we did was review on how to add suffixes and prefixes to words, we also learned why there are silent letters in some words. For example there is a silent “g” in sign. Some people think that it’s pointless, but if you add a suffix or a prefix to it the “g” gets pronounced. Like in signal the “g” gets pronounced. Then at the end of the lesson we had a competition. Each group was given a word and the objective was to come up with as many words with that word by adding suffixes and prefixes to them. Most of the class had high scores. The team in downfall was The Beatles with 8 points (Good try). And the winner was Jackson 5 with 14 points. (Congratulations by the way.)
So, those were the three cool things out of our fantastic week. We hope you enjoyed reading about our amazing week in Mrs. Clayton’s class. Happy Birthday to Preston (Wednesday) and Luis (Saturday). Please be sure to tune into next week’s weekly bloggers the joyful Julia and the victorious Vainavi.
You did a really good job on your Weekly Update. I liked how you used lots of detail and had very interesting intros. I think only writing about three things we did was a smart idea because you added lots of detail. Keep up the good work!
