Our Class Constitution

To understand the importance and value of our United States Constitution, we decided to create a class constitution.

If I Were President....

The last couple of weeks we have been learning about our United States government - Congress, Constitution, Supreme Court, and the President.

Below are some laws for the schools that your students would make as president: ENJOY!!

If I were President of the United States:

"There would be no yelling, no fighting, and no running in the hallway."

"I would make a water fountain in the classroom."

"If you get into trouble, you will get kicked out of school or go to a behavior school."

"I would add more playground equipment."

"I would make sure everyone treats their class with respect, respect their teacher, and no fighting."

"I would have everyone watch a movie while eating lunch, let students bring their pet to school, and have FUN FRIDAYS more frequently (more days of the week - see pictures below as to why they like this so much).

All were voted on by our class congress as  YAY!

FUN FRIDAY CREATIONS



Laws VETOED BY our class congress:

"I would make everyone pay money to me (a student).

"I would make lemonade stands and everyone would have to drink lemonade."

"If you get into trouble, you just get into trouble."

Law that was amended:

"Every citizen will have to play soccer everyday."

***After much deliberation between our class congress, this law was amended to:

"Every citizen must exercise every day for 1 hour."

I am pretty sure everyone had a great time making new laws for our schools and acting as president.

How many seeds are in a pumpkin?

This book told us that the size of the pumpkin does not tell which pumpkin will have the most seeds. But, what matters is how orange the pumpkin is and how many lines it has on the pumpkin. Each line represents a row of seeds.

Our mission was to test this theory out while practicing place value counting.



Sorting out the seeds from the goop!





2's Club




10's Club




5's Club




10's Club 2 - We made groups of 10 first
and then combined them to make hundreds.




We combined seeds into groups of
5 first and then 100's to make it
easier to find the total.



1st we made groups of two,
then groups of 10, and then 100's.


                                                   

Final Count of pumpkin seeds:

2's Club: 190

5's Club: 301

10's Club: 437

10's Club 2: 423

The pumpkin with the most lines did have the most seeds, but it was the lightest orange color and the biggest pumpkin. I go with the book is half right. =)
