We hope you like our news report of what we learn at Neidig Elementary School in Pennsylvania, USA. Today we went to the library and researched about our continents. We went on a treasure hunt and answered questions. We also went to art and panited our frogs. Ours is SOOO cute!!! We like art.We like to help A LOT in our class. Every day we sing a calendar song called, "Gone Forever". We also have math. MATH IS AWESOME! WE WANT TO DO IT EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF OUR LIFE!!! We like school. By: Shelby and Sara. =Tuesday, October 21st:= In spelling, we learned about vowels. Did you ever hear of the CVC rule? It's when a vowel stands alone between two consonants, the vowel will make a short sound. The CVC rule is like a sandwich. The bread would be the consonants and the vowel would be the jelly! By: Sara and Shelby =Thursday, October 23rd:= Do you celebrate Halloween? You can get a vampire or something else and dress to go to people's houses and get candy!!!! Even though I can't do it [ Sara] because I only have TWO houses near me. At our school we have Morning Meeting. We do a greeting and say what we did over the weekend. We call it "What's The News?" Do you have Morning Meeting at your school? By: Sara and Shelby =Friday, October 24th:= Today was "Race Day" at our school. Our whole school walked for one hour without stopping (well a few of us had to have a bathroom break). We raised over $20,000 dollars for our school! Our class also received a special award of movie and popcorn because everyone in our class brought back all of our paper work for the race. It was a fun day at Neidig School!
