The lastest news! (:

This morning I came to school. Then instead of math we played kings and queens of the court if you don't no what that is go look it up because I don't feel like explaining it. My team (Thebes) Won three out of however many games we played. Yay Thebes! (:

Newspapers and kings of the court

In E.L.A we are making newspaper articles and eventually we are going to make our own newspaper! I like to write stories and articles so making our own newspaper should be good!

Our challenge today was kings of the court! Sparta tied for 3rd! I wonder what our next challenge will be!

Jokes!

Our teacher talks to herself; does yours?
Yes, but she doesn't realize it; she thinks we're actually listening!

PUPIL: Teacher, would you punish me for something I didn't do?
TEACHER: Of course not.
PUPIL: Good, because I didn't do my homework.

If you had one dollar and you asked your father for another, how many dollars would you have?
One dollar.
You don't know your arithmetic.
You don't know my father !

Kings & Queens

Today in math we played badminton instead of math for our Olympic events we did OK but we could have done better but we can still win in the end we are not too far away. Go Thebes Go!!!

Olympic Challenge! Badminton

Today we had another Olympic challenge. It was badminton, Kings and Queens. We had all six teams competing at once: Thebes (YaH!), Corinth, Argos, Sparta, Athens and Olympia. We had three games going on, all 4 min. games. Then at the end of the 4min. games we would tell the scorekeeper how many times we won against the other team we played. We all had loads of Fun!

GO CANADA WIN SOME MEDALS!!!!!!!!

King of the Courts

I think it was fun that we got to play king of the courts instead of math this morning for one of our Olympic challenges. Although Athens came in last for this round we will catch up just like Sparta has! GO ATHENS GO! I wonder what our next event will be...

Canada got another gold medal yesterday in women's hockey. They won 2-0. Go Canada! We'll have to see if the men can do just as well.

Badminton Challenge

For our Olympic challenge today we had a battle of badminton. Our team did pretty decent and there was some good plays. Badminton try out are here so good luck to everybody!

Canadians Win Gold

Canadians win gold at the Vancouver winter games. Women' s hockey Canada vs U.S.A. Canada won the game with a score of 2-0.


I only watched the first period and Canadians showed U.S.A up.

The goals were scored like 2 or 3 minutes apart from each other.

There are 21 girls that play on the Canadian team.

Transition,, Olympics - X Games

Now, as most as you know, we are doing a lot of Olympic things in school. However the Olympics are coming to an end. We are getting into skateboarding season. Currently, we are 114 days from Go Skateboarding Day. Go Skateboarding Day is an unofficial annual holiday conceived by the International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC) to promote skateboarding. It is usually marked on June 21. Also, we are 151 days from the X-Games. The X-Games is a commercial annual sports event, controlled and arranged by US sports broadcaster ESPN, which focuses on extreme action sports. The inaugural X Games was held in the summer of 1995 in Rhode Island. Personally, I like skateboarding because it's just a thrill when you land a trick. I love it.

WE'RE THE WINNERS

AN AMAZING GAME LAST NIGHT WHICH WAS 7-3 FOR CANADA, WHOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Super shoulders and gold and silver

Super shoulders was a challenge! My arms were burning and when i put them down, it wrenched my shoulders. It felt like i needed to keep them up! I am excited for the next challenge we need to do. The sports quiz was fun too!

Newspapers

Lately in E.L.A. class we have been learning: memorizing words eg. cutline (a.k.a. caption), city editor, columnist and we've also read and summarized and much more. Today we were to make up a caption to a picture from a recent newspaper. We got a picture and a little piece of paper. The paper we folded in half and on one side we made a possible caption for the picture. On the other side we put a humor caption. Can you make a caption (humor or not) for this picture?

5...is the dream still alive?

Long way to go 8O, but I am guessing that a group of you may be watching the Canada - Russia match and might be posting afterwards.  Last I checked, score was 7-3 Canada.

As CP says (shouts) "Go Canada Go!"

Good luck. 

No Homework! Science Fair

I think the Science Fair was pretty cool and there were a lot of good projects. I like the idea that we have no homework but we have to get 18 posts instead.

For the class Olympics I agree with Cody that we should get to know what the challenge is first before we decide who has to go in it. Go Athens Go!

As for the Olympics on T.V. I hope Canada wins against Russia. GO CANADA!
