Halo around the Sun

Today after lunch we discovered a strange sight!  After some research, we found out that it was a halo around the sun.  The halo is caused when the sun's rays bounce off ice crystals 4-5 miles up in the sky.  The ice crystals make up the cirrus clouds in the sky.

April was National Poetry month.  During the month the students learned about many different types of poems and had the opportunity to compose their own poems.  At the end of the month, the students chose their favorite poems, illustrated, and recorded them.  Here is our final product:

Gym Class

Today, our class has gym. We are playing lacrosse which is fun. Lacrosse is a game where you have a net and a hard ball. You throw a ball with the stick and there are very small nets and a big goalie. Boy lacrosse is much different than girl lacrosse. In girl lacrosse you can't touch each other, but in boy lacrosse you can check and hit them with their sticks. I hope we play girl lacrosse.

Poetry

This week we are going to be choosing poems that we wrote then illistrating a picture to go with the poem that we chose.  The poem could be a Limerick, Haiku, Couplet, or a Diamonte that you were able to write or one that you already wrote.  For example, someone could have chosen a poem that went like this: There once was a penguin from China. He liked the cat fish kinda.  He sat on a chair and gave out a stare, then he went out to buy a binda.  Then the person who wrote that could have drawn a penguin on the Great Wall of China.

Science Experiment

In science we did an experiment  with steel wool, baking soda,  water, boiled water,air, and salt water. Throughout three days we said what they looked like.  The boiled water made the steel wool rusty so did the water and salt water.  The baking soda stayed the same and the air too.
