Welcome to Mrs. Benzing's classroom blog! This week we started on our million dollar paper where you use all ten AAAWWUBBISs and write about what you would do if you had a million dollars. For example, one sentence could say, "Although I have a million dollars, I would still go to school." 

In addition, in science class we are starting our independent science experiment. Garrett is answering the questions "could air and water both mixed together make a rocket go into space?" Logan is answering "would a turtle go to fruit or veggies faster." We started to write down all of the supplies we need and all of our procedures. Also, we started to practice writing a essay for the ERBs. Mrs. Benzing wanted us to practice this because we will have a certain amount of time to write our essay for the real test. Lastly, we have to memorize the song Ode to Joy for violin, and we have a playing test next week. 

This blog was written by Garrett and Logan.

This week we made personification videos on tap booth and they're posted on flickr. We also made posters about what we personified.

We will be presenting our genius hour PowerPoint on Monday to some of the people in Ms. Grubb's class. We have finished our reading group novels, Toliver's Secret and The Keeping Room. We will soon start our book projects. This weeks blog by, Clara and Graeme.
