How to Play Tight end/Wide receiver

Have you ever played football and you were wide receiver or tight end? Thats one of  the most positions you score in .you get to do QB and running back just by being wide receiver. I am going to tell you how its done.

To play wide receiver you must get the ball for the QB. Then you warm up get ready for the game go out for pases.If you are a speedy wide receiver you go out for a kick return. Then when the kick return is done its game time.You tell the reif am I behind the line.Hut you go out for a pass. you put your hands out in a diamond shape if the to catch the ball

you have to look at it . Thats what you do when its a pass if its a run you block for the running back. sometimes you get to run.catch! you caught the ball you try to run for a touchdown. Do the nae nae/harlem shake Then give the ball to  reif. Go to the sideline and get water.High five coach let him tell you the next play.Some details for wide receiver.Make sure you have a signature dance. You have to get faster.make sure you have another wide   receiver by your side to help you or remind you to make sure you are behind the line.

Some details for tight end.Make sure you are a really know how to block good you sometimes get catch the ball. At tight end you are the only player on the line that gets to catch the ball and you kind of get pases. So when you get a pas DON'T DROP IT.

So you see wide receiver isn't so easy I guess.well it still is fun you should try it. make sure you do that nae nae when you score.

How to Make Spaghetti

Mr. Foote-3

How to Cook Spaghetti

You want to make spaghetti but you forget well I am going to tell you how. There are 8 steps I am going to tell you them. One reason this is important is because you need food to survive.

First, you get a pot then you fill it up with water. Then you boil it on the water in a pot on the stove. If you hear sizzling you're on the right track. Once the water is boiled turn off the stove to not over boil the water. Then get the pack of spaghetti and pour it in the pot. After opening the pack. Now wait till the noodles are like wormy if you see the noodles still sting up then are not ready to be taken out.  Next, You get a bowl with holes on the bottom then put that bowl in the sink. Next CAREFULLY  take the pot and pour the water and the noodles into the pot. The noodles well stay in the pot  but the water will go away. But do not hold the the bowl in the sink. Second to last, pour some garlic salt in the noodles move the noodles around so you can get garlic salt all over. Finally, get regular bowls\plates out with no holes in the bottom and serve the food.

Now you have a good dinner. Remember food is always important. Plus you can survive also you live longer. Also you can have a better chance of living longer than dying. Also food can cure a sickness. Like chicken soup it helps cure sickness. So as you can see food is good for you.

Mr. Foote-3

How to Make a Braid

Do you want to dress fancy for a nice occasion. But there’s one problem. You want a braid but you're confused on how to do it. You've come to the right place. I’ll tell you every single step on how to do it right now.

First, remember to get a rubber band from a drawer. It works better with a smaller one. Set your rubber band on a table. Now, you have to split your hair into 3 separate groups. One group in the middle and the other two on each side of your shoulder. Make sure your hair is in even groups. Move the group on the right side to the middle to where there are two groups in the middle. Keep them separate. Move the one that was in the middle the whole time to the right side where the other group was at. Now do the same steps but move the one on the left to the middle. Do those steps over and over again till you have about a inch of hair left at the end. Now, you will need to get your rubber band off the table while holding the hair at the bottom in your hand. Rap your rubber band around it. To know if it works you should now see a beautiful braid. Because you are done with your process.   

This is not an easy process so its okay if you mess up a couple times. Just keep on trying. Do it till you're a pro at making braids.After learning this remember to prefect making a braid. Try to remember every single step till its locked in your brain. You now know all the basics to making a braid.

How to Make Elf Donuts

How to Make Elf Donuts

Have you ever thought that your elf could get hungry? Well, they can get hungry if you  didn’t know. They will be delicious and a simple way to make a non messy treat. Well, a little messy. Bake a delicious sweet treat that your elf will enjoy. Your elf will feel appreciated and an even bigger part of the family.Their called elf donuts! Here is a fun and a creative way to make elf donuts!

First,  you get a bowl of regular Cheerios out of the pantry along with any kind of Sprinkles, Peanut Butter, Cinnamon, Powdered Sugar, Chocolate Chips, and Caramel. Or other toppings that you want to put on your elf donut or you could make it a cookie.   P.S. you might want to use toothpicks. Then, you melt the chocolate chips for at least 35 seconds in the microwave. Use toothpicks to squish your melted chocolate chips if they have not melted that much and stir it. If your chocolate drys out reheat it for 25 seconds.  I recommend using a little dish to melt the chocolate in and keep it in. Once you get the chocolate out of the microwave, you get some Cheerios and dip them into Caramel, Chocolate, or Peanut Butter. You could also use something else to dip it in. Don’t dip it in a liquid like hershey chocolate syrup. Now, you pull it out of one of your dips and get your sprinkles or cinnamon out and sprinkle some on your Cheerios that have been dipped in something. After that, you get a plastic plate and put your donut on it to let the sprinkles dry on your flavor. Also, get a glass of milk so your elf won’t be thirsty. Write a note to you’re elf to make him/her feel even more special than your elf is. Read him your note and he will smile even bigger than before. Place your donuts next to your elf and smile. Give your elf his milk, and note. You will feel good and your elf will be very HAPPY!!!!!!!!! Remember your elf will always love you even if you don’t make him/her elf donuts santa will make them for other elfs in the North Pole.  In the morning your elf donuts will be eaten by the best elfs or elf around!!!!!

Your donuts will be perfect for your elf! Make this recipe again sometime maybe next year and it could be a tradition. Santa might want this recipe! Right him a note saying do you want a recipe for your elf? Santa will even eat them!! Well, maybe. :)

How to Learn the Basics of Basketball

Mr. Foote-3

How to Learn the basics of Basketball

Hi! Have you wanted to learn how to play basketball? Well,this is a great time to learn. Learning basketball will be a breeze if you follow these specific steps. As you are learning how to play basketball you will notice it will get easier. Of course you have to get a basketball. There are different sizes so get a ball that is only about fewer inches bigger than your hand, that will make it easier.

First, is you want to learn to dribble. Dribbling is bouncing your ball repeatedly.You should dribble with one hand. Try to remember that you must dribble soft.  Now you’ve learned a dribble. After learning a dribble use your dribble to practice shooting in the hoop. You probably didn’t get it in the hoop the first time. To practice get a good grip on the ball. Once you’ve gotten a good grip on the ball you will find it easier to shoot the ball into the  hoop. If not you should probably jump to make it easier. As you jump you will get closer to the hoop. If you got in the hoop great job if not go from a far distant run and then shoot thats another way. Those are 2 ways to shoot 1 last way is to stand right in front of the hoop and shoot from there.

As you learn, play with your friends . In a real basketball tournament there is more players and people do a move called a pass. A pass is when you pass the ball to another player. As you pass the ball the other person passes the ball. It is not to easy to play basketball so you should play with one of your friend who have a experience with basketball maybe even your parents!

Well, thats it, the basics of basketball now you're ready to be a pro! maybe ask one of your friends or parents to teach you more about basketball.

How to Put Your Leg Behind Your Head

How to Put your Leg Behind your Head!

Hi have you ever wanted to do a really cool trick like a split, a walkover, a cartweel or put your leg behind your head?  Well I can teach you one of those, and that is putting your leg behind your head. It might seem sooooooo hard but soon it will be sooooooo easy. Like now I  think it is so easy but it used to be so hard :)

First you need to, go on a carpet area. Then make sure you are NOT wearing skinny jeans. Maybe wear yoga pants or cozy pants. So are you in your cozy pants? I hope you are. Cause if not it will be very  hard. So next you need to sit down on the carpet area you have picked out to do this trick on. If you want to time your self then get a electronics and go to the timer app and go to the bottom bar and click on timer. Now you need to grab your right leg if you are right handed, but if you are left handed then grab your left leg. What you do now is lift what ever leg you are holding. After you have done that lift your leg as high as you can and put it behind your head. If you can not do this then try stretching again. Then do it all over again till you do it.

YAY you did one of the cool things that you wanted to do!! Now you can show you friends at recess or a sleepover, I am almost 100% that they will be impressed if you show them :) Hope that you  have a great day. Bye!!

Estimating Categories

Thanks to all the adults that either posted a comment on the blog or shared with us at home!

We shared these strategies in class and came up with 9 categories of how people use estimation in real life:

1. Using money to save, spend, or stay under budget.
2. Figuring out the time it takes to do a task or get someplace.
3. Predicting how much gas is left in our vehicle.
4. Cooking without measuring cups/spoons.
5. The distance between two places.
6. Predicting how many people might attend a function or party.
7. Predicting how many items to get for a function or party.
8. Telling someone the cost of a product or house.
9. Understanding how much space you have.

This Week

Homework is going to be pretty simple and straightforward this week. I am sending home the math facts log and it just needs to be signed daily. Students are bringing home 7's flash cards and they are to study for at least 15 minutes daily. The logs are due on Monday.

There is no other homework this week, mainly because students are trying to earn cans for Passing of the Cans, and I want them to have the free time to do so.

Passing of the Cans is one of our special days @ CFI and I highly encourage that if you are able to come, you should pass cans with us! It's touching to see 300+ people helping people they've never met. Mr. Hass will lead Gathering @ 1:20ish and then we'll start passing cans I'm guessing around 1:45ish. Note the "ish".

This week we are estimating products in multiplication equations and word problems, writing how-to pieces in Writing, reading Gullah folktales in Reading and learning about Gullah contributions to our SC culture in Unit of Study.

Leave a Comment about Estimating!

We are spending the week estimating products in Math Workshop. We have talked about how estimating is "real-life math", something people do on a daily basis.

If you would take the time to leave a comment about how you use estimating in your life as an adult, we would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Do You Want to Be a Settler

Homework and LOTS of Notes

Homework
1. Cumulative Timed Test (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10) next Monday. Study 15 minutes per day. I'm going to send home a log for this; each day, please sign it if your child studied for 15 minutes. This log is due Monday.

2. Math packet dealing with area of rectangles and rectangular figures is due Monday.

3. Spelling check-in Friday (life, always, those, both, paper, together, got, group, often, run).

Notes
1. Your child will take an assessment on area of rectangles and rectangular figures on Friday. We are in the midst of practicing calculating area of rectangular figures. The other portions of the assessment will be about calculating area using "tiling" or the traditional length x width algorithm.

2. Our Gathering is Thursday @ 2:20. This date has changed because there would be a lot of problems having it on Friday, with it being a half-day. I apologize if this causes any inconvenience in your scheduling.

3. Our Thought for the Week is: "If you think history is boring, you're crazy..."

4. Our Gathering will consist of mostly what we've learned about in history so far (Native Americans, settlers, explorers, etc.), but will also have what we've learned about area and our process for our zoo persuasive pieces.

Class Movie Filming Tomorrow!!

5. We are "world premiering" our class movie about settlers ("Do You Want to Be a Settler") at Gathering. The students planned and wrote this movie and we are filming it all tomorrow morning, so I have time to edit and publish the film before Gathering. I hope all are present, but if anyone is absent, we'll still have to stick to our schedule. Some students are settlers for our movie, if so, they will have an index card. They were chosen because they said they had clothes like button down shirts (not super fancy, but ones without modern patterns/images). I hope this is correct, if it's not, please don't feel you have to go out and buy something just for this movie; we'll monitor and adjust. Your child might also ask if they can borrow a prop from home; we'll take good care of it.

6. Thursday is Ms. Newton's last day. Let me tell you, she did a fantastic job. She put her heart and soul into her work with your children. We'll be sad to see her go, but I know that she'll be a successful teacher and your children were a part of her journey.

7. Friday is a half-day. Dismissal is at 11:30; we will still have after care.

Passing of the Cans

8. Every year our school does a canned food drive and it's one of my favorite times of the year. We run it a little different in our class than some classes might. The number one goal is trying to collect food for hungry or "food insecure" people in our area. But, we don't tally or set a class goal for this. Instead, we focus on how to earn the opportunity to help someone. This morning, we spoke about how helping someone usually requires a sacrifice of some kind. It might be money, time, or resources, but it's rare that you can help someone without it costing you anything. So, I'd rather the kids try to earn cans instead of just raiding your pantries for cans that you bought. I would love for you to contribute some of the cans that you bought, but it would be really awesome if the kids did things to earn cans. We came up with ideas as a class:

-taking care of pets for an agreed upon length of time.
-pulling weeds
-giving mom an hour off by watching younger siblings
-doing the dishes
-taking out the trash
-offering to sacrifice one Christmas present to buy cans for hungry people
-using money we've already earned
-not just cleaning your room or doing your expected chores

We will be collecting cans from now until Friday, December 12th.

**Thank you Mrs. Robinson for finding this info!

Our most needed food items include:

• canned meat and fish
• peanut butter (in plastic jars)
• canned vegetables and fruits
• breakfast cereal
• personal care items (soap, shampoo, etc.)
• any nutritionally dense foods
