Can you believe we have been in school for 100 days already? (Ms. Hill) The reason we like the 100th day of school is we can share our 100 things. (Maria) The parade  was really fun. It’s cool to walk around the circle and see everyone. (Tiffany) You could see all of the people’s collections (Bryan) We got to see people’s creations. (Peter) They were cool, crazy, and creative. (Jordan) We had a great time celebrating 100 days of learning and fun! 

We’ve learned about how to share equally using fractions this week. So to apply fractions to a real life lesson we cooked 3 pizzas! We wrote out the recipe after we finished so you can make this delicious treat at home. Here is our recipe:

Pizza Perfect!

Ingredients:

• pizza dough
• tomato (spaghetti) sauce
• cheese
• pepperoni
• flour

Directions

1. Put flour on your hands so the dough won’t stick
2. Toss the dough
3. Flatten the dough on a pan
4. Add the pizza sauce and spread it over the dough. 
5. Put the cheese on
6. Put on the pepperoni
7. Cook the pizza for ten minutes at 425 degrees. 
8. EAT IT! YUM!!!!

Today we went to memorial hall! It was a awsome field trip! The last dance they did the backround was a forest!       

by Nolan

Our trip was quite impressive. The dancers moved in spectacular and sometimes silly ways. We laughed and were mesmerized all at the same time.  What a fabulous Friday!

To celebrate October 31st, we gave 2 pumpkins a bath. We were trying to see if the pumpkin would float and most people thought it would sink. To our surprise the pumpkin didn’t sink, but it floated! We decided the pumpkin floats because it has air inside. 

Next, we measured how tall and big it was. Then, Ms. Hill cut it open and we had to count ALL the seeds. Using little cups we counted the seeds by groups of ten. Then we put ten groups together into hundreds. The first pumpkin had 511 seeds and the second pumpkin had 407 seeds. (I wonder how much that is altogether?)  

Last, we washed the seeds, roasted them in the oven, and had them for a snack. 

What a pumpkin-licious day! 

Love, Ms. Hill’s class
