Here's Zach, our next class blogger:
This week was sooo fun. We got our Camp Half-Blood necklaces, and we earned the Camp Half-Blood bead by taking the quiz about The Lightning Thief. We earn them by doing mini quests. It's a lot of beads! It's the best! I can't wait to earn more.
Our class has a lot of sponsors for the walk-a-thon. We're ahead of all the classes. The walk-a-thon and the roping tournament is on Friday. Our class is singing My Wish. I can't wait. We're using the metal cow for the roping tournament this time.
The tournament was the best. Ethan and Emily won the roping tournament.

Our blog will be updated on Monday as Emily, our blogger for the week, has asked for an extension. She would like to be given the weekend to write about our "Talk Like a Pirate Day" party on Friday, and she didn't feel like she had adequate time.
Emily, your wish is our command.
Stay tuned for Emily's much anticipated blog.
Hello! Emily speaking or I guess you could say writing. This week has been fun as always.
On Monday we started something called working in the lunch room. This includes washing dishes, serving food, washing the tables, and being hall monitors. This is very fun for us all.
On Tuesday we had a rodeo assembly. We enjoyed hearing what activities were going to be a the rodeo.
On Wednesday we read "The Sea of Monsters" for the second time. We enjoyed hearing about Percy's friend Tyson. Of course not the Tyson in our class. We all know that he's not hairy. We also enjoyed hearing about Annabeth who purposely stabbed an evil, I guess you could say giant. Yeah for Annabeth! She saves the day!
It was also Mr. Prince Day who is now and forever our favorite Grand Marshal--not to mention all the little cowgirls and cowboys running around. Oh and I forgot to say that he was the birthday boy!
On Thursday we all finished our pirate place mats that included drawing the compass rose, crinkling it up, and laminating. It was fun to color it too.
On Friday we had a pirate party. We enjoyed learning pirate phrases like 'ahoy matey' and 'arg! me hearty.' We also ate sea biscuits and stick candy. We colored pirate pictures and listed to Pirates of the Caribbean music. Sounds pretty much like all weird pirate stuff. Well it was except take out the weird part.
So we pretty much had a terrible week--just kidding!
P.S. Also on Friday we all got our own pirate name. Mine was "Parrot-Got-Me-Eye Ramona."

Monday we started out going to computers and we did our Me Poem, then we read. Next we went to lunch. Lunch is never new. After that we read again then had recess then we had a test that was alright. We read our own books and went home.
Tuesday we went to computers, library, and P.E. in a row. We read "The Lightning Thief" before P.E. Later we wrote some words about a_e, ai, and ay adn we did vocabulary. Me, Emily, Brooklyn,, Andrew, Katarina, and Nina got 100% on the math test! We did the estimation jar then worked in our gods and goddesses books then read and went home.
Wednesday we went to music then we read. It was Ethan and Erik's birthday. Lunch was ok. It was sloppy joes. We read and did math. We finished "The Lightning Thief." We went on the computer and looked at the website about the book and ate treats for Ethan's birthday and went home.
Thursday we started by going to music and everything else was the same except we got to do cabin doors for "The Lightning Thief." It was fun. After all that we got ready and went home.
Friday we did our roping tournament and did math after that. We did our cabin doors again and went to lunch then got ready and went home.
*Teacher note: Super job Christopher! The class earned back the priviledge to play Schoolopoly again. I hope they continue to be able to play.
We had our first spelling assessment on the long a pattern/rule. These students got 100%:
Aubrey, Nygle, Brody, Trey, Robert, Nina, Karissa, Miranda, Andrew, and Brynlee.
WAY TO GO GUYS!
