All About Chess

All About Chess!
                                             By: Jibril. A and Atilla. S


Chess is about stratagy and knowledge. Chess is also about knowing what figure to move. All the front pieces are called Pawns and the 2 middle back pieces are called King and Queen. And then the ones next to them are called Bishops. The ones next to those are called Knights. Then next to that is called rooks. On there first move the Pawns can move 2 spaces forward! The King can move only one space.
The Queen can move anywhere it wants and as much as it wants. The Bishop can move diagonal. Knights can move in a L shape. Rooks can move forward, backward, and sideways as many spaces as it wants. Every piece can move backwards except for the Pawns. That's why chess is AWSOME! And you should try it.

TFK Election Votes


       TFK Electoral
             Votes
           BY: Sydney & Emma  

      In class we learned how voting works through a video online. Also on TFK’S website we learned that they count votes by state electoral votes and not on how many people vote. We went on the TFK website and saw each of the two candidates views so we knew who to vote for.
       For voting day Mrs. Strubles’ class voted for who our class wanted to win. She printed off pieces of paper and on it was two little boxes and by each box there where the two candidates Obama and Romney.
      We made a check on the box of the candidate that we wanted to vote for and put it in a bin. Mrs. Struble counted the votes and then she told us who won in the class and the winner in our class was Barack Obama.

Inventor's Fair

Inventor's Fair
By: Mulki & Logan 4K
  

The Inventor's Fair is a 4th grade unit where all 4th graders use materials from home to make an ORIGINAL invention. Then 3rd grade comes and asks/looks at your invention.
"The funnest part was building the unknown." 

You also need a poster,too, for explaining/naming your idea. "Some of my favorites were the Mega Mitt, Sun buster, and Card Collector," said an unknown student. 

It's pretty fun, Families get to come too!

My Trip to Ja Biztown

By Samyak T.                                 

                                        My Trip To Ja BizTown 

My trip to "Ja BizTown" was amazing! I had 3 bags of popcorn, 2 cups of pop, a folder, and 500 post-it notes. At Ja BizTown we had a bank account. I was head (CEO) of my business. I called it Software palace. My break was busy, very, very busy. When I was on my break I had to open my savings account and my bank account to do this I had to sign my deposit ticket, my check register and a check for $1.50 for my savings account. Also I had to have my lunch and/or snack. Every business did not pay their bills. If they did, our company would have made a lot of profit. Our loan was for $214.20. We also used money. I had a very big salary. My salary was for $50.00 per day, I am very proud for earning this big of a salary. My trip to Ja BizTown was amazing. We learned a lot we never gave up and almost made a profit. This was my best day ever! I hope you enjoyed my blog.

Heartbeat Chorus

By:Mikala

I am in HeartBeat Chorus. Heartbeat Chorus meets every Tuesday or Thursday. I am in the Tuesday class. We sing and do warm ups. We are perfoming on Friday the Twenty-First at the sing-along. Last week we had a field trip to Seasons. Seasons is a retirement home. We go to sing and after that we ate cookies and drank juice. We got to meet new people. It was really fun.
