Today we listened to President Obama's speech to the students of our country. He had many messages to give us about hard work and responsibility. Here is what we took away from the speech.

I loved his speech.My favorite thing about his speech was he said''never give up even if you fail get back on you feet and try again and you''ll get it right.''See why I like it.

The part I liked about Obama's speech was when he talked about failing is how you learn how to do it better the next time you try.

I like Obama's speech becuase it was kinda touching. I liked how Obama said "Never give up even if you fail get back up on your feet and try again."

I thought that the speech was important to me because he had a lot of good sayings like how are we going to change the futrue in 20 years.

The speech that Obama gave out to all the students was a way for leting all of us know that even though you fail things a lot does not mean you can't get to college.Obama said"All students of The United States Of America,you all think that if you fail you wont be able to acheve your goal.I did a lot of bad things in school,but I followed my dream and look at me, I'm the president of The United States.You can make any kind of,like doing your homework and doing your chores.But like me you can do the same thing I do.You can be the president of the United States.But with great power comes great responsibility.Now I'm asking you students of The United States to make a goal for what you are going to do."So set your goal to make a great life!!!"

The speech that Obama gave out was one of the best speeches I heard because he gave us advice to our writing that your first piece of paper that you wrote will not be corect so you need to practice and practice.
Derrick

I think Obama's speech was important because he taught us how to practice and practice so we can get better grades. I also think that was one of the best speeches I've heard.

I think that Obama's speEch was really cool because kids all over the world could here his speech and they can learn on what he is saying .Obama is no different thenother people just because he is is the president.
LIANE

I think Obama's speach was awsome.But it is really important for us.He said we have to our best if we want good grades and to become like a doctor or a nurse or a teacher.
So instead of playing, study when you need to.So that's what really popped out at me.
Micah

I think that the speech was touching for most of us because he is a person who cares about our education and how we have a big responsibility to go to school so we can learn and he was being truthful to us because he cares about our ways of making us have a better future.
KERRY

I think the speech helped me a lot because President Obama said that if you get in trouble it dosn't mean that you're a trouble maker. It just means that you just need to do a better job at school. He even said that when he was a little kid like us he used to get in trouble too. So when you get in troube don't think that you're a trouble maker and he even said that if you fail it doesn't mean that you're going to fail that grade the same thing you just need to do better. The most important thing for me that he said is that nobody is perfect at anything but you need to practice that's the most inportant thing for me that President Obama said. Somebody called from a high or college school and said that they were inpressed with the speech that President Obama said.
Agustin

What I thought about the speech was that it was great. What got my attantion was when he said that nobody is perfect at anything at all not even we follow and pay attention not even that.That is all I have to write so bye bye.
Adrianna

This speech was very inspiring.I think the most important thing from the speech is when Obama said our education is the most important thing in our life.The other thing is when he said the choice you make right now is what you're going to be in the future.I really got some thing from
it.

LIANE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The classroom 25 is the best class because Mr.Miller does not get mad unless you do something wrong .Mr.Miller is a fith grade teacher that is also the assisstant principal . When the principal is gone for the morning announcements we get to do them and is it really fun.When you are in

Mr.Miller's you get a pet spider named Spike.

In the library today we played a game to learn how to find our own books by standing in order by letters .We did ten in a row and it was fun!!!!!!!!!!

Today we learned how to add in a different way. It is called partial sum which is an algorithm.

You had to know your place value. Like 547+797 how to get the answer we have to start with the hundreds place then tens then ones.So we add 5 and 7 which equals 12. So we write 1 thousand 2 hundred. Now add 9 and 4 which equals 13. So we write 1 hundred 30.Now add 7+7=14. Now we add 1,200+130+14=1,344. That's how we do it. Like 4 and 9 you can add the 9 first then the 4 or the other way around.

Today we had another map test. We are going to have another map test and a math MAP test next Tuesday, also =). We had a reading MAP test. We have to practice reading for our next one in Januray so don't worry - we know how to read. Mr.Miller was very funny today because he made a lot of jokes about kids in class. We laugh so hard sometimes. But somtimes we take it seriously. We really enjoy Mr. Miller.♥

Our New Pet Spike

Spike is our class pet tarantula.
Spike is really cool and fuzzy.Spike looks scary but she is not scary and she dosn't bite at all. We got Spike on August twenty eighth 2009. Spike eats crickets but they have to be alive.
When she sheds she lies on her back and she sleeps for a while and crawls out of her old skin.

We also want to ask you one question. Tarantulas have eight eyes but why don't they see very well?
