TWAS

Last week at school we had a spirit week.  On Monday it was pajama day.  Almost all of us wore our pajamas, it was really nice to not get dressed in the morning.  On Tuesday it was injury and sports day.  Lots of the injuries sure looked real!  On Wednesday it was partner twin day!  Hana, Nick and Hayden dressed up like their stuffies, Devron, Lexys, Tineka and some people from other classes all dressed in black, Ethan, Rylan and Ayden all dressed in white shirts and blue jeans. Lacie, her sister and lots of the teachers had anti bullying shirts on.  On Thursday it was costume day.  Ethan dressed up as Spiderman, Carlos and Nick were the Scream, Hayden was a Jedi.  Ayden was a storm trooper, Rylan was Mini Me, Devron was a gypsy, Lexys was a musketeer, Tineka and Cadance were a vampire, Lacie was a witch, Hana was Pocahontas and Mrs Johnston was a ninja turtle.  On Wednesday we did pumpkin math,  We had to weigh them, measure the height and circumference.  We also counted the seeds and graphed them.    We carved out pumpkins then wrote about what they looked like, felt like and smelled like.  It was lots of fun.  On Thursday we had our Because of Winn Dixie party. First we prepared for it by decorating.  We put up streamers, dog pictures and candles in our pumpkins.  (in the book the candles were in brown pape
r bags)   We watched the movie.  During the movie we had the same snack that they had in their party in the book.  The snacks were egg salad sandwiches, pickles, Litimus lozenges and Dump punch.  We added peanut butter sandwiches because Winn Dixie loved peanut butter.  The movie was really good.  We had lots of favorite parts.
 PS.  Thank you to all the families that supplied our treats and pumpkins!

Wow, sounds like an EPIC week at school! :)
If you had to pick a character from your "Because
of Winn Dixie" book, which would be most like you and why?

The character in Winn Dixie most like us is the dog, Winn Dixie, because he is funny, mischevious, and kind. He also likes to smile.

Ethan think he is like Gertrude the parrot because whenever they see dogs they say dog.
