American Symbols

There are lots of Symbols of America!  They are the most important things in America.  The Liberty Bell is an American symbol.  The Liberty Bell pictures are symbols for freedom in America.  The Liberty Bell was rung at the start of their new country in 1776.  The American flag is a symbol too.  It had 13 stripes because there used to be 13 states.There are 50 stars on the flag because there are 50 states now.  The Bald Eagle is a symbol.  It is the only symbol that is a bird.  The Statue of Liberty is the last symbol.It is 335 feet tall.   It is located in New York City.  That is what I know about American symbols!

About Poems

Writing a poem is easy to do.  First, think of a good topic.  Next, think of a good title for your poem.  Then, write a poem that rhymes.  Last, make sure your poem makes sense.  Check your work if you misspelled a word.

Pajama Party

Having a pajama party is very exciting. We had a readathon. All of us picked a book from home. It could have been one chapter book or two non chapter books. We brought our favorite blankets.  We laid on our favorite pillows too. While we laid on our pillows we all read books.  At the end of the readathon everyone felt happy because it was a lot of fun.

The Cat in the Hat Visit

The Cat in the Hat visited our school yesterday to celebrate Love of  Reading Week.  He was very tall and had dark gray fur. His clothes were red and white.  He wore a striped hat, white gloves, and a big, red bowtie. The Cat in the Hat was quiet and friendly.  He bent over, gave us high fives, and patted some people on their heads when he came into the All Purpose Room.

Mrs. P. asked The Cat in the Hat questions from the students.  Then,  The Cat in the Hat wrote his answers on a clipboard with a giant pencil.  He was moving around happily as he answered the questions. The Cat in the Hat was laughing while Mrs. C. read the answers to us.

Next, we sang "The Cat in the Hat is a Cool Cat". Mrs. C. wrote the song.  The Cat in the Hat was excited, because he danced while everyone sang.  He enjoyed our singing, so he clapped at the end of the song.  After the song, The Cat in the Hat  left, and we waved goodbye.

We all had so much fun at the assembly.  We hope that The Cat in the Hat can come back again.  It was a wonderful program!

How to Make a Cat

Drawing a cat is a lot of fun.  Mrs. C. taught me how to draw a cat in art.  First, you start with the cat's body and head.  Make a circle with a smaller circle on top.  Next, make whiskers, eyes, a nose, and a mouth on the head of the cat.  Then put legs on your cat.  Last, put a tail on the body of the cat.  Always double check your cat after you make it because you might have missed something important.

Rabbits and Birds

My favorite pets are a rabbit and a bird.  Birds can fly, but rabbits can't.  Rabbits have long ears.  Birds have ears, but you can't see them.  Birds chirp.  Rabbits squeal.  They both can hop.  Rabbits are cuddly, but birds are scared and then they fly away.  Birds have feathers, but a rabbit has fur.  Some birds have webbed feet, but rabbits have padded feet to help them hop.  They both can be in the wild.  Which one do you like the best, rabbits or birds?  I love both because they both are so cute and funny.

Blogging

It's fun to blog on a cold winter day.  You get to read other posts.  I am already learning so much from the blog.  I can spend my whole day blogging.  I like blogging because I am getting better at spelling and writing.
