Literacy: Kate Klise Visit

Kate Klise author visit

Hello Fellow Blog Reader!,

This is Ariana reporting. On wednesday an author came to our school. Her name is Kate Klise. She has written tons of fab books! She is a very good author and works with her sister to publish her books . Her sister Sarah  M. Klise is the illustrator to her books. Unfortunately only Ms Kate Klise came to our school. I fully love Mrs.Sarah M. Klise’s illustrations. My favorite book by this cool couple is… Well, I lOVE all their books. But I have to admit my favorite is The fourth book in the 43 old Cemetery Road series. (The phantom in the post office)

    Together they written TONS of childrens books and chapter books. Kate Klise has written; Regarding the fountains, Regarding the sink, Regarding the bathrooms, and Regarding the Bee’s. She has also written; Dying to meet you, over my dead body, till death do us bark, the phantom in the post office, Hollywood dead ahead, and greetings from the cemetary. She has also written chapter books that are not in a series such as; Letters from Camp, Grounded, and Home Sick. These are only some of her chapter books for kids my age. There are more chapter books. Let alone picture books and early readers chapter books. I highly recommend these books for anyone! Here is the link! www.kateandsarahklise.com.   Has an author ever visited your school??

Literacy: Kate Klise Visit

             KATE KLISE VISIT       

by Kane        

This week the author Kate Klise visited Glenridge. She had a lot of funny stories to tell like when she got a bad haircut.

    In class we read her book "Dying to meet you" and it was really good. Kate Klise also told us that instead of using a story mountain for our stories think of a clock. We got to see some of her notes and drafts for books and they looked really messy. It must take a long time to make a story.

Math: Algebra

Algebra by Tudor

In math we started on our algebra unit.It was pretty tough untill I got the hang of it.So basically algebra is using letters as numbers and those letters are called variables.Algebra was a short unit due to winter break.We will also certainly be doing algebra next year in middle school.

Due to the algebra unit being short,the test is tomorrow.That means study, study, study!I wish everyone luck.Algebra is useful in real life also like when you need to do certain things.

Blog posts

                By Tom

    Today in writing we had to make a blog post about stuff that has been happening in the school. I did Personal Essays, But other people did stuff like Juggling Jeff, Coding and Basketball(which we’ve been doing in PE).

    This was the 1st blog post that we have done that we need to check with a partner and get our own pictures(using free to use or share). Our partners had to check our blog post checklist and tell us what you don’t have on the checklist. Some people because of enrichment got to have it as homework.

Writing: Personal Essays

Personal Essays   By: Sofi

    I love the personal essay unit. I love writing about my personal life. It's so fun to talk about my sister when she’s mean to me. But every once in a while she will come around and share her ice cream, or give me a hug. That's what I'm writing about, my bad-to-the-bone sister. This unit is making me so happy I work on it at home.

    Most people in class (I'm sad to hear) don't like writing. It's in my genes that I love it. My mom, aunt, and grandpa love it too. My grandpa has also written several novels and sold them. This writing is going to be sooooooooooooo cool. I would actually like to finish this unit early and teach people that are stuck. If you wish to be taught, contact me`.

Juggling Jeff Show

The Juggling Jeff Show

    By T.O.

    At the Juggling Jeff show Jeff juggled balls, big tennis balls, clubs, and 'bio hazardous waste' (dibers). First he juggled balls he did a basic three balls in both hands and two balls in one hand then he did five and some different techniques but when he was cleaning up and needed somebody to help him .

Than he did team juggling with the giant tennis balls then he juggled by himself but he couldn't hold on to the tennis balls . He juggled clubs and in one techniques when the baton landed in his left hand he quickly hit his head with the baton. Then for the grand finale he juggled diapers he got a on mask, gloves and, a protective suit . He went around the gym juggling the diapers as all the kids in the gym started screaming hysterically then he put the diapers back in the bukit and we started to get dismissed.
