Time

We started a new math topic.  It was time. We had to do elapsed time. That is when you figure out the time between two events. We also had to do temperatures which is a problem like,  Molly checked the temperature at 6:00 AM,  It was 8 degrees higher than the 9 AM temperature.  The 9 AM temperature is 11 degrees lower than the 3 PM temperature .  The 3 PM temperature was 70 degrees. What was the 6 AM temperature? The 6 am temperature  was 67 degrees.

Science Fair

Have you ever been to a science fair? Well if you haven't we will tell you about it.  Mason and I were in the science fair but there were many other kids in it too. Mason made an egg bounce, shrink, and grow back to its normal size.

1. You put an egg in vinegar for 48 hours.(You switch the vinegar every 24 hours.)   that will make it bounce.
2. To make it shrink you put it in corn syrup for 1 day.
3. To make it grow back you put it in water for 1 day. 

Caroline's  project  about was owl skeletons.

1. You find different bones  and figure out what they are.
2. You sort the bones onto a sheet of paper

3.Finally you make a skeleton!  

Native Americans

We have been learning about the Native Americans and now we are going to a field trip to learn more about them.  We are going on the field trip on Thursday, June 5th.  They use resources around them.  For example, the Native Americans used weapons to kill animals. Also they used wood to build houses and to build canoes.  This is what we we have learned about the Native Americans.

Edward Tulane

In shared reading we are reading a book called The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. At first Edward was owned by a girl named Abilene. Then he got thrown overboard while Abilene was with her family on a cruise with 2 boys named Marcus and Martin.  Then a fisherman caught him and brought him to his wife named Nellie and they both named him Susanna. After that Lolly  the fisherman`s daughter came and she drove Susana "Edward" to the dump and left him there.Then while Edward was in the dump a dog dug him up and ran off with him and brought him to the dog's master, a hobo named Bull and Bull named him Malone. That`s all we read so far.  It`s a great book.

Social Studies

In social studies we have been talking about Native Americans. Right now we are making symbols to show a message.  They are not words they are pictures that the Native Americans would understand. Before that we were making maps to show where the different Native American tribes lived around the United States.  For example, one tribe where we live is the Delaware. If you want to find out more go to www.lenapelifeways.org!

This was our groups map!

This is the paper we are using to make  our letters!

Godzilla

Roar! that was the sound of Godzilla.  I would totally give it a 5 star rating. I'm going to tell you what its story line is like. So basically its like a giant unidentified creature is sucking all the power (for example electricity) from a nearby power plant.  The male has wings and is smaller than the female and the female doesn't have wings lays eggs and is really large. So Godzilla is trying to destroy the creatures and restore the balance of nature.  My favorite part of the movie is when he turns blue (my favorite color) and breathes fire all over the male. If you are interested in this then go watch it at AMC.

Board Game Book Report

               Today we found out that we have one last book report of this whole year.  I'm pretty excited that it's the last book report of the year.  Don't you think it's exciting too?  Anyway, for this book report you have to read a book.  It can be non fiction or fiction.  You make a board game when you finish reading. The board game needs to include the name of the book you read, the name of your board game, and your name.  The  board game needs to also include 15 cards with questions and answers.  You can have more cards that say move back 3 spots or lose a turn.  I hope you do great on this project!

the book TACKY THE PENGUIN

One time Mrs.Sullivan read us a book called, Tacky The Penguin to introduce opinion writing. The book was about a really weird and odd penguin plus the other penguins Goodly, Lovely, Angel, Neatly, and Perfect were all normal unlike Tacky. My favorite part was when Tacky was yelling HOW MANY WINGS DOES A COW HAVE?!?!?!?!?! Tacky was an odd bird. He marches very strangely like 1-2-3-4-2-3-6-0-2 1/2-0. As you can see Tacky was an odd bird.

A Boy Called Slow

Tatan'ka Iyota'ke! We are just starting our lessons about Native Americans. To get us started we read a book called, A Boy Called Slow. In the book we learned that the Native Americans had very weird names such as Tatan'ka Wanji'la,  Tatan'ka Winyu'ha Najin, and Tatan'ka Psi'ca.  In the book the names they gave family had to do with their character. In the book there was a little boy named Slow. He was named that because in the beginning of the book everything he did he did it slow. At the end of the book after he fought the warriors he came back and was named Tatan'ka Iyota'ka which meant Sitting Bull. It was a good book and very funny.
