Winn-Dixie Wikki Space! By: Marissa & A'mora

Guess what?! 3N and 3B have a Winn-Dixie Wiki Space. So, what we do on the Wiki Space is Mrs.Neft and Mrs.Bell work together and put up question(s) for the Winn-Dixie space and then they post the question(s) then us, the kids (3B 3N) have to answer the question(s). Every time we read two new chapters we have to answer the question(s). So far we, the kids, have read 22 chapters. But, in the book there is 25 chapter we have 3 chapters to go. I don't know about you but I think it's really, really, really, really fun.

For example, the question we had to day for chapters 21 & 22 was from Mrs.Bell and she asked "Why do you think Otis was afraid to come to the party?" If your wondering who "Otis" is he is one of the people in the book "Because of Winn-Dixie" (he's also in the movie) Plus, if your wondering what the party is, it's the party that India Opal and Gloria Dump are having, and if your wondering who India Opal and Gloria Dump are they are 2 people in the book "Because of Winn-Dixie" also. And they are in the movie.

I hope you like what you here about the Winn-Dixie Wiki Space. And, hopefully from what you hear you like it and think it's as much fun as I think it is.

Responsibility by Matt

Why do people wait so long to do the what they where told? For example, my brother nick is always waiting for the last second to do something, like when my granddad asked him to mow or clean the steps or the pool he is always yelling "I'll do it later I need to go!" and goes. So my granddad gives him the money and he leaves.This makes me feels that my brother can't be responsibility.

Trustworthiness By: Eric

Why people show trustworthiness? People show trustworthiness because that way you can trust other people to watch your dog, clean the dishes or gust watch your house while your gone.  For example once I was asked to watch my dog when my dad was gone and instead of watching my dog take dog and replace it with TV , So when my dad came home he was mad at me for not watching the dog. And he said "I don't think I can trust you anymore." But I inturupted by saying " yes you can." The next day my dad gave me one more shot, Gess what I did it. If you ever come to a situwation  like me just remember you can always try to be trustworthiness.

THE TOTURING: In the mornings we go down to Mrs. Sheilds room and get our totees from the first our second grade classrooms. Then we take them back to Mrs. Sheilds room and start toturing. First we help the totees read through they're. Then we ask them questions about the book. After that we help them read through sight words or phrases. Once we are done we play hang man until 9:00.

Essay By Jaclyn

Guess what! In school we are writing ESSAYS! ( It is fun, try it!) Here is an example,  Mrs. Neft. When ever I see a smile I think of my teacher, Mrs. Neft. When ever I walk into my classroom, Mrs. Neft has a smile on her face. She is like an angel smiling. Mrs. Neft smiles everyday! When ever I look on someones face and they're smiling, I am remided to smile like Mrs. Neft always smiles.

An Example Essay By Matthew

In 3N we have been writing essays as a new unit in Writers Workshop. The students have been learning different ways to write an essay. We have been doing this for four days, this is our fifth day. Her is an example essay

My Cat,
My cat likes to drink running water. For example, when ever I brush my teeth and shes in the same room my cat will jump on the toilet climb onto the sink and stick her head in the water. After that I will have to carry her out of the room and close the door. But as soon as I'm finished our cat (MysticLooks) will jump right back on the sink and drink up.
My cat loves to play also.  As soon as I step foot in the door after school shes right there to greet me. As soon as I sit down to do my homework she jumps at my brothers leg which means "Lets Play!" Then I have to play with her until she figures out that playing with a bag is funner that chasing balls. Then I can finally do my homework in peace. Last of all my cat has big eyes. When ever shes in a corner or when  ever shes in a dark place her eyes will get big, glow, and get all metallic. Or when I'm alone on the top bunk reading she will stand in the doorway and look up at me until I carry her up the ladder.

Animal Research Project Session #2

Hello, I'm back to give you all the next session on the 3N Animal Research Project. Guess what, we're making an iMovie for our project it's so cool. So far, some of us are done getting our pictures and putting them on the product iMovie. I can't wait 'till it's all finished! I bet it's going to be awesome. So, here's what we are doing in this session. Session number 2, now that we're done doing the researching we're getting pictures to make the imovie. Then, we put all the pictures on the imovie, after that we all got our reports back from our teacher Mrs.Neft. Just so we could do the stuff on the imovie with it. Here's what we did with it. We took our reports and then we recorded our voice on the imovie with the built in microphones on the laptops. Last but not least, we finished that after that then we put the pictures in order or got different pictures for the imovie. It was so much fun, I sure enjoyed it. Next, this is going to be the best part for me we're going to put sound effects on the imovie. How cool is that! I wish you were here to join the excitement.

Sincerly,
Marissa
