2-D and 3-D Shapes

In Math we have been learning about 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes.



"There are 2-D and 3-D shapes."  ~Brandon



"Some shapes have faces and some don't." ~Gimena



"The sphere doesn't have any faces and vertices."  ~Aaliyah



"All of the shapes are different." ~Jose from Mrs. Fink's class



"Some shapes have a lot of vertices and some don't have a lot of vertices."  ~Cristian

Fables

We have been reading fables in class.  This week we wrote our own fables.

By Kala
Once there was a pig who always played in the mud.  He never ever worked for food for the winter.  Only the squirrel worked.  He said, "Why don't you ever work?"  "Because it is not fun," said the pig.  Winter began and the pig as hungry.  He asked all the squirrels.  He was at the last house.  He went to knock at the door and ask for food, and the squirrel said yes.

Once upon a time a horse and a cow were wandering around in the forest.  A wolf showed up and the wolf ate the cow.  Then the horse ran and the wolf tried to find the horse.  But the next day the wolf gave up and went to his house.  The horse went to the farmer and went in the barn with the rest of the animals.  He ate their food and went to sleep like the horses.

One afternoon a dolphin saw a shark.  He thought it was a dolphin, so he woke up him.  The shark chased the dolphin!  The dolphin said, "Don't eat me."  "Why?" asked the shark.  "Then I will return the favor."  So the dolphin was set free.  Then a fishing hook was lowered down.  The shark thought it was a real fish.  He bit the hook.  Then it pulled the shark!  He pulled and pulled.  He called the dolphin.  Dolphin swan as fast as he could.  He swung his tail and cut through the fishing line in half.  "Thank you so much, Dolphin," said Shark.  "You're welcome, Shark."  And they were friends forever.


We did Reader's Theaters of fables like The Grasshopper and the Ant.


By Kasey
My favorite fable is The Grasshopper and the Ants because they need to gather food for the winter.  The grasshopper is always being silly and the ant works hard.


By Miguel
My favorite fable is The Lion and the Mouse because I like the lesson.  It's a really important lesson.  No one is too small to help.

My favorite fable is The Boy Who Cried Wolf because I like wolves.  I saw the second episode of these two kids who were wolves.  The lady was their dad's friend.  She was a vampire.  The dad didn't believe them.
