The 4J class will be involved in Quadblogging. Quadblogging involves four schools in our quad. The schools in our quad are St. Francis Primary School in Cowley, Oxford, England, (we don't know the rest yet). Each school will post, then we will read each other's posts and comment. Then we will cycle through giving each school a turn to post and comment on the posts. We look forward to communicating with other students throughout the world! You can read more about it here: http://quadblogging.net/

We used Prezis in reading. We wrote biographies on them. On prezi.com you make a presentation online. We did ours on Teddy Roosevelt and Daniel Boone. When you get on prezi.com you choose a background. Then you type about your topic and add pictures of your topic. You can hide your pictures or make them turn. We hope you try this at school. It is a good way to present online.

Limericks

There once was a dog who was friends with a hog.
They were driving and hit a log.
It wasn't very bad.
But there dad's were mad.
Right after that his dad was driving and hit a frog.

 This is our Limerick for St.Patrick’s Day:

  A time to Ryhme
There once was a girl who liked to ryhme
She tried to solve a crime.
She looked in a book.
Then found the crook.
 And she only got a dime!

 By Em and Caitlyn

Here is a limerick because yesterday was
Saint Patrick's day on March 17th

STOMACH ACHE
There once was a guy who ate a lot of pie
Who also ate some steak on rye
He got an ache 
Because of the steak
He hopes that he will not die!

By Karsen and Gibson

We made these poems because limericks are funny and fun to write we also wrote them in honor of Saint Patrick's Day.

The Dog Who Ate Like A Hog (he even ate one!)
There once was a dog
Who ate like a hog.
He ate a cat
He was soooo fat
He even ate a dead frog!

By Hannah & Myah

St. Patrick's Day was March 17th. 
We decided to write limericks.

There was a Moose

There once was a moose
Then he got loose.
He saw a man carving
He realized he was starving
He decided to eat a goose.

Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends to get together for a feast. In our families the kids watch movies and play games. The grownups talk and watch scary movies. The pilgrims and Indians started Thanksgiving long ago.
