In specials we did drum alive. We only did that if you were in Pe or music. We are learning about the history of st. Patrick’s day. In writing workshop we are writing poems. We learned that poems can be list poems and a conversation poem. We earned 4 stars and all of it makes 20 so on March 15, 2019 we had a stuff animal day. Mrs. Pandov gave us  a schlasic news. It was called when Annie came to America. Mrs Pandov gave us a paper about Annie. We got to pretend to be an immigrant and wrote a letter to a friend about our trip to America.
