A Word from Colin, Julia, and Trinity

Julia: Hi everybody! It's me, Julia and I'm going to tell you about the pacer test we did in P.E. yesterday. One day, on a Thursday, we did the pacer test. The pacer test is where you get a partner and a score sheet. And then you take turns to run with the other people. My partner went first. So you run from one side to the other in the gym (when you hear a beep!) My partner got 13 laps and I got 14. Then we got water. The highest scores were: 1st Round was Austin and he got 53! 2nd Round was Oliver and he got 43! Well, that's all folks! Goodbye now!

Trinity: Hi everybody! This whole week was amazing. I am the gymnastics teacher during recess. I am teaching Tuesday through Friday. I am going to have so much fun!

Colin: Hi guys, I'm making a story but its not very good and it got my friends kicked off the slide. I didn't because I didn't do anything but my friend made up a game on the slide. Also, it would be easy to blame me because I'm their friend and I was also on the slide. So one of my friends pushed my other friend down the slide and my third friend grabs one of their feet. It was actually weird. Again, I didn't do it, all I did was watch them and climbed up the ladder to go down. I did not like what my friends were doing, in a way, but I've seen worse.

A Word from Matejo, Betsy, Elise and Evelin!

Matejo: The Haunted iPads

On Monday, October 7, 2019, everybody was writing when suddenly...Ring! Ring!

"Turn off that timer, " Ms. Golemes said.

Tuesday, everybody was doing math and...Ring! Ring! It was so loud! It must be at my table.

It ended up being Elise's iPad!

Betsy: So, this week has been a little odd. Timers on kids' iPads have been going off but kids haven't been setting the timers! I think it it because of Luna. Luna is a ghost that haunted Ms. Golemes' old classroom. Now, let me tell you the story of Luna. One day, Ms. Golemes walked in but the lights did not turn on. Ms Golemes walked in the classroom and her clock fell on the ground. Then, two books fell off the shelf! The End.

Elise: It was the morning. It was time to go to school then I changed into my clothes. Then, I ate my breakfast. Next, I went to school and I found out that today was the Fun Run! So I will have fun!

Evelin: This week, my iPad set an alarm somehow. It went off during reading and it was super weird. We are about to do the Fun Run. I love when you get popsicles at the end and bracelets. This year, we got squishies!

A Word from Lemonheads, Austin, Evianna, Ollie and Oliver

This weeks bloggers from the Indigo table!

Austin: 

     On Friday, we played Kahoot! It was really fun, I put in a nickname. My nickname was my name in all caps with two flying money emojis. When we started the game, it was only 5 seconds per question! So, we had to change it to a different game. This time my name was in all caps and a begging emoji with an Earth emoji. I got 4th place!

Evianna: 

     Did you hear about Ms. Jefferson's small moment? Well first it started out when Ms. Jefferson was in her office. She heard a squeaking noise. She just ignored it. It happened again. She looked around her office. She found a MOUSE! She jumped over her desk and ran to Ms. Kaye. Ms. Kaye told the custodian and Ms. Jefferson was okay.

Ollie: 

     So, when I came to school, I already knew we were changing seats. Then I got in the class, did all the stuff, and Ms. Golemes shouted, "Hey! We're changing seats today!!!" So I was writing for like 30 minutes and then we changed seats. It was crazy, everyone was running around the classroom. Then, I found out I would be in the same seat but it's okay. But that was the other day. So today we did a Kahoot and I got 6th place!

Oliver: 

     This week, we started writing our small moments that we will end up publishing. Mine was about FIFA/soccer, Ollie's was about going to Michigan, Evi's was about a trip to Blue Harbor, and Austin's was about a Halloween decoration that was teleporting!
     We played Kahoot and if you don't know what it is, it's like timed math. I got 1ST PLACE! It was very fun! I got first place because I was practicing my multiplication.
     Lastly, I finished my book today. If you like funny books, check out my review on our class book recommendations Padlet. Click here to access our Padlet.

Oliver and his 1st place win on Kahoot.

A Word from Rosie, Evelin, Danielle and Ji'Kyle!

Ji'Kyle - We got to watch a movie! I wrote my blog post at a special spot in the classroom with a lamp. Ms. Golemes called it my office.

Ji'Kyle, hard at work, writing his blog post in his new, corner office suite.

Danielle - One day, my teacher said it was pajama day on Monday so on Monday I wore my pajamas. But, my friends did not have pj's on. She told me the pajama day had changed to Friday. Now it's Friday, and I wore my pj's again!

Rosie - We got to watch The Emoji Movie because we got 10 paws. Some of the paws came from compliments from Miss Jefferson and Mr. Green. Also, Miss Jefferson told us a small moment story about a mouse in her office. It was really funny!

Amy Jefferson sharing a small moment story with the students during Writing Workshop.

Evelin - Yesterday, Ms. Jefferson came in and told us a story. So, on with the story...At the end of the day, she was sitting at her desk and she heard some squeaking. She looked next to her and she screamed and jumped on the table! Then, she ran to Ms. Kaye and said, "There is a rat in my office!" And the janitor came and took it out.

A word from all of the Lemonheads to kick off our year of blogging!

Julia

Hi Everybody! My name is Julia and I’m a Lemonhead of Ms. Golemes’ Class of 2019. So anyway, today we played Kahoot. Kahoot is an online game where your teacher picks a category and it gives you a special code.Then you find the Kahoot app (or search kahoot.it) and then you enter the code. Next, you make a nickname (we had to do our first names) and then you start! I won and got first place! I love this class!

Miles - My First Time Doing Multiplication

It was a bright, sunny day and I was going to 3rd grade. When I first walked in, I sat down and I realized that we were doing multiplication. Weeks later, I still don’t know how to do multiplication, but I will get it soon.

Matejo

Hi ladies and gentleman, my name is Matejo and I going to tell you my blog. We were called Adidas. My teammates, Libby, J3, Liv and Nico were against the Nike team. They were kicking off. Libby caught the ball and she gave it to me. I got the touchdown and went for the extra point. They said I should kick it! I was so nervous. I kicked the ball and it was good!

Rosie

The new classroom is so cool! Let me list some fo the things it has: a little sink with soap and paper towels, a TV AND a projector, little book cubbies and a variety of whiteboards.

Elise

One day I was stuck on my math page in my math book. I was doing my homework, messed up but then I figured it out!

Cooper

I want to share with you the day we got our iPads. First, we went to the auditorium and then we lined up. After that, we went back to the classroom.

Colin - Me and My Brother

After school, we were wrestling and my foot got caught in the bed…Here’s what happened. My leg was stuck! It was bent. Five mere seconds and I would have broken my leg but I freed myself. Please readers, DON’T HIDE UNDER YOUR BED!

Ollie - My New School!

So guess what, the new part of the school finally came! So it’s really modern…and organized! A new playground came too! There is a giant slide! And some cool monkey bars. We have table points and names. My table name is Indigo. Bye!

Antonio - A Word from Antonia A.

We just got a new part of the school and a new playground! They’re both really cool! Last year, we found out that third grade gets it all to itself! This year we are so lucky because we’re in third grade! But some of us were too greedy because there are some 2nd graders in the new part of the school too. I honestly think the second graders should have kept the older part of the school because we could have had bigger classrooms. I think bigger classrooms would have been an improvement.

Oliver

     Once Ms. Golemes was calling out, "Rosie! Evelin!"

Then I said, "Ms. Golemes, should I go get the girls?"

"Yes," said Ms. Golemes. So I went to go and get them.

I didn't find them. Ms. Golemes was not there. I followed Ms. Ryan's class.

Trinity

In class, Mrs. Golemes kept mixing up Colin and Cooper. In class, I’m learning division. Math is getting harder and I’m learning more.

Evianna - The Day I got my iPad

Once we got down to the auditorium, my heart was beating so fast. Since I was at the end of the line, I took a breath. Then it was my turn. They handed me my iPad. I sat down. I was okay.

Evelin

I loved when the new playground opened but what I didn’t like was the huge line for the slides! And I also didn’t like when the swings weren’t opened yet. And I love the bars.

Betsy

Today is Friday. We got brand new iPads. School is okay, I guess. My favorite day is Friday and Thursday.

Austin

In 3rd grade, we got a new playground. The new playground was really cool. There was a big slide, there were swings too. The swings were cool but they were in the part where people were supposed to walk.

Emmett

When we got our iPads we went to the auditorium. We line up. There were a bunch of iPads. I was so excited! I wanted to so bad. I finally got mine. I couldn’t open it. “Waaaaaaaaa!” We can’t bring them home until October.

Syriah - The New Classroom

We have a TV. We have iPads. We have 2 doors. We have a Jordan jersey. We have the fridge with our work on it. We have a map. We have an iPad cart and we have a clock. Bye.

Lulu - A Word from Lulu

We just got our iPads but we still have not been able to take them home. We have been working on multiplication in math. we got 10 paws so we get to watch a movie next week which is a good thing. It means we got 10 compliments. And, we got a new rug!

A Word from Lemonhead, Sophia O.

This week the temperature dropped.We have had a few indoor recesses and its just getting colder. Parent teacher conferences are next week along with half days.We are all working hard and are all exited when we get to go outside and play in the snow.

thanks for reading,

A Word from Lemonhead, Stevon!

This week, we got to sign a beam in the lobby. This signed beam is going to be used in the new building. I am excited to see my name on the beam in the new building. During recess, I love to play football. Let me tell you about today's game. I was playing with Myles, Jack, Riley, Calvin, Xavier, Gabby, Amir, and Jake. On the first play, Myles threw the ball to me and I ran for 40 yards. Then, Riley got the ball and scored a touchdown. The game ended abruptly when the ball was accidentally thrown into the construction site. 

Thank you for reading my blog post and I hope everyone has a great weekend!

A Word from Lemonhead, Roxy!

This week we started our mystery unit. We are working as a class to solve the mystery of our class read aloud book, "The Absent Author." We have a crime board in class to help us gather clues. We are trying to find out who kidnapped Wallis Wallace, the famous author!

A Word from Lemonhead, Loki!

The nutcracker was great! All the dancing was awesome!It was the best day ever. I mean wow!

A Word from Lemonhead, Romy!

Last week, we had Thanksgiving. Me and my family went to see my Mom's family. We had soooo
much fun. This week we are doing a Science unit. We are doing water.

             We had a fun week!

A Word from Lemonhead, Gus!

Boo yah! We have a two day week this week! We also get a five day weekend. During the five day weekend, Thanksgiving is coming. But sadly, we lost our wood chip playground and they are blocking off half of the field. Good News! We switched from Social Studies to Science. We are also finishing our non-fiction writing. Have a great Thanksgiving!

-Gus

A Word from Lemonhead, Jack!

This week the lemonheads have been doing science experiments about water and climate. In math we have been doing more multiplication and more division. And we also are sponsoring a senior citizen and her name is. Antionette (I don't know how to spell it). Also its close to thanksgiving. We played a lot of sports this week. In football Stevon got 3 touchdowns and I got 3 touchdown . Our team captain Myles got 4 touchdowns and Riley got 4 touchdown passes. I hope you have a good thanksgiving. Bye!

A Word from Lemonhead, Emme!

My sister was born on Friday, November 16th and her name is Tennessee.

With the construction, now we have less room to play outside. Most of the areas in the field are muddy and there is toooooooo much mud in the classroom.

I am looking forward to Career Day because my mom is presenting.

Happy Thanksgiving!

From, Emme

A Word from Lemonhead, Sophia A.

Ever since I moved here, I have been making new friends. All I am saying is that you should make some new friends. Anyway, Myles is doing great at football this time of year. You should check him out at Longfellow School.

A Word from Lemonhead, Leo

One thing that I like to do in math is Quizlet Live. Quizlet Live is a game that we use in math sometimes. You get to be on a team of four and you have to work together to get the answers. I love math that is challenging because I love challenges.  We used Quizlet to study math vocabulary including measurement information and other things, too.

Happy Thanksgiving from Leo!

A Word from Lemonhead, Juliette

Today was the fun run and I had fun. The whole school had fun. Also, we are finishing our final drafts  for our narrative pieces. In math, we used scales to weigh objects in the room. We earned our Paw Party and had iPad free time. iPad free time is the best!

A Word from Lemonhead, Myles

Hello, my name is Myles. This story happened on October 5, 2018. It had to do with my friend Stevon and Amir. It was a football game 10 to 14. We were down by 4 points. It was me, Jack, Riley and Stevon we were going to handoff to Stevon 1st and 10 50 yards to go. Down, set, hike! Fake handoff to Jack then to Stevon. Boom! He just trucked. Ethan, he's down the 50,40,30,20! Here comes Amir! What will happen? Read to find out. Pow! Boom! Pop! Stevon just made a huge play he broke Amir's ankles and trucked him. Calvin, the rookie, is following him down the sideline the 10! the 5! Touchdown! Bears are winning 16 to 14. We are going for the 2 point conversion. Myles will be quarterback. Down, set, hike! I see Riley, he's open! Oh my goodness! Riley made a one Hand catch! it is 18 to 14! Riley with a amazing catch that is going to the top 10!

A Word from Lemonhead, Gabby!

I was very sick and my throat was hurting. I went to the Rush Hospital in Oak Park and I was so mad because I had to wait in the sitting room for like two hours. I was crying so bad and I was also so mad  they were cleaning up the room and I had to wait even longer. Then, I found out that my throat was inflamed. They gave me medicine. My throat still hurts but I was able to come back to school.

Today in school, there is something called the paw party. A paw party is extra RECESS plus iPad TIME. We are about to shoot some hoops.

Have a great weekend!

Thank you.

Bye,
Gabby

A Word from Lemonhead, Luke L.

This week, we got a new student. His name is Calvin! We are very excited to have him in our class. On Friday, we had our Paw Party and we got iPad free time. We got to go out for recess after. When recess was over, we had reading. Also this week, in P.E., we had the Heartland Adventure obstacle course. You get to go on a scooter around hula-hoops. You have to bounce a ball while on the scooter. You pull yourself on a rope and then you have to jumprope 10 times. Then you run through hula-hoops, jump hurdles, crawl through a tunnel and have to choose which way you want to go. One way you have to dribble a ball around the gym and the other way you tie ropes around your ankles and jump back and forth with a partner. And we had FUN!

A Word from Lemonhead, Molly!

This week all of the Lemonheads have had a lot of indoor recess because of all the rain. But we did go out one time and we discovered Lake Longfellow. Thats a huge puddle that forms when the drain clogs from so much water. Tonight is the Back to School Picnic. I hope the puddle gets a little bit smaller before the picnic.
