Clementine's Letter

2010-01-08T10:19:00.002-05:00

Clementine's Letter is a really good book to read because it tells you really good details while you're reading it.
Clementine is a girl in grade 3. Everyone thinks that Clementine is weird because she writes everything on her arm. Because her name is a fruit but her brother's name isn't a fruit, she gives him names like potato and bamboo shoot so it will be fair in life and he'll have a name like hers.
Clementine has some friends. There's a girl named Margaret who is really neat and she has to have everything alphabetical, old to new and big to small. She even pays her brother, Mitchell, so she can clean his room.
Her other friend is named Norris. She wants to make him a funny name so she calls him Norris Boris Morris Horace brontosaurus.
Clementine's teacher, Mr. D'Matz, promised that he would be there all year so she could get the hang of 3rd grade. Just when she started to get the hang of it, her teacher went on a trip to Egypt for a week.
The principal's name is Mrs. Rice.
Clementine is a bit of a troublemaker. She went to the office to get Mrs. Rice. Mrs. Rice thinks that Clementine should have a paper for being in trouble but she just wants to bring her down to the classroom. Mrs. Rice is going to announce that Mr. D' Matz is leaving for Egypt and Mrs. Nagel, a supply teacher is coming.
The supply teacher named Mrs. Nagel came. Clementine thinks she is mean to her but nice to everyone else.
Then there is a contest to win a trip to Egypt for the rest of the year for the teacher who's students have the best reasons that he should win the trip.
I'm not going to tell you how the story ends because it would just be ruining the book for you. So you should go out and get the book and read it to see how it ends. You may like it because it is a really good book. (DO NOT READ THE ENDING FIRST!!)

Children did many chores back then. Cleaning the blackboard, organizing the boots, and sweeping the floor are a few.

Our grade 2/3 class are making Eric Carle style writing. Eric Carle stories have to have a pattern. It is so fun because first we have to paint, not a picture you just have to smear the paint all over the page. then let it dry. After, when it is dry you cut out the shapes you want in a picture. My story is about a horse named Brownie that signs up for racing and thinks she wont be fast enough. And she runs into a snail a dog and a worm. I think all my classmates books are going to be AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! I am pretty sure my classmates are having so much fun making these I can’t wait for my book to get laminated!!!

Gould Lake

2009-11-04T15:15:00.000-05:00

I liked going to Gould Lake. It was a lot of fun!!!!! My favourite part was finding a hole in a tree that was made by a woodpecker. I stuck my hand in it!!!! We learned about porcupines and how they use their quills. Porcupines defend themselves by sticking up their quills. There is one animal who can avoid porcupine quills: a fischer. A fischer can bite a porcupine before it can swing around and get quills into the fischer. Now that we’ve gone to Gould Lake, I would like to learn more about porcupines - how they survive in the winter and what they are related to.

Gould Lake

What I liked the most was when we saw the nymphs at the pond. I would like to learn more about porcupines. I learned that mica was used for a lot of things in the olden days. What I also liked was seeing the woodpecker hole. I would also like to learn more about the insects in the pond. I also learned that if you get a porcupine quill in your hand it will come out the other side of your hand. Some day I hope we can go back to Gould Lake.
