Newsletter, September 12th – 16th 2011

This week in Burns 5th grade we finished up our “Me” posters and hung them in the hallway. In Spanish we started our Spanish-speaking countries unit, were taking our test Monday. On Tuesday in band we started playing our instruments, learning slowly, but steadily. We had Social Studies with Mrs. Cook’s class. We did a graph activity where she put items on a graph on the floor and we had to draw them on the graph in our interactive notebook. The ice cream social was Friday! On Wednesday we ran the 2/3 of the mile in gym. Mr. Manchester timed us then told us our must likely mile time. Today was also the first popcorn day of the school year. The Tigers have won 12 straight! (Franchise best since 1934!) One more game and we clinch a playoff spot! Friday was the ice cream social! Its also Constitution Day!
We watched a video on 9/11; people who were there and were firefighters at the time were about it in an interview. We did a report on the video in science class. Mr. Burdick was out so there was a sub. He told us his story about 9/11, because he was a volunteer for 9/11. We also ran the mile in gym, everyone got under 15 minutes! In social studies we wrote and watched videos about the bill of rights and the other 17 amendments. And that’s what happened in Mrs. Burns’ 5th class this week!
