Fun On The Ice!

By: Sydney

Today we went ice skating! We went down to the gym and got our skates. Then they came around to check and make sure they were on very tight. After we were all ready we got split in two groups. Group one and group two. Then we lined up around the side and they showed us how to march across the ice. We went to the other side and back and they taught us how to glide our feet across instead of marching this time.

The floor wasn't real ice though so it was a little harder to glide. They also taught us about backwards skating. It was easier than going forwards and that was very interesting. But once everyone got used to skating on the fake ice we learned how to spin! After we had done all that it was time to leave. So we sat down and took off our skates. Then we left and went back to class. What a busy morning!

Getting our skates on and tied up tight!

Waiting patiently!

Gliding!


Our instructor was so impressed with out advanced ability, we got to learn how to spin!

Happy Birthday Joshua!

Today is Joshua's Birthday!

Science Fair

By Morgan and Libby

We decided to do our project on balloon blow up because we wanted to to know what food is best for yeast to grow. Libby & I filled up all the mini Gatorade bottoles with yeast and other ingredintes. Then we would go back and check the bottles every 30 minutes. After all the 30 minutes were up we would smell the bottles and see what they smelled like. Before we smelled the bottles Mrs JoAnn ( Libbys mom ) got the balloon popped in her face. The best food for yeast is Flour.

Today the class shared their projects with everyone else. After our class shared all the projects, we took them to the gym. Tonight all the parents will come and see the projects. Judges will score the projects and we will get bows or ribbons! If you come in first, second, or third place you will get a medal! Visit us soon, we will tell you if we win.

Read House Field Trip

By : Thomas

On our field trip to the Read house, we went into the house first and learnd different tools they used and learned how to use them. Then we went to a room and got smocked! That means we were the master of our job and were put to work! Then we put our knowloge to the test and played a game and found the tools and did a demastation of tin work.

Then we went outside and went to the curch and saw the school and then saw a sleeper stone momument. A sleeper stone is a stone that held up the rail road. We saw New Jersey across the Delaware River. We saw a boot scraper and thought it was to tie your horse up to. Then we saw the court house and the armory which was changed to the high school and saw Town Hall. We found out that the school kids went home for lunch because the town was so small. I liked the trip did you like our summary?

Our Fantastic Writing Piece

By Reese and Carson

Our writing piece is about we get sucked into a game or our tv. For example, we were watching Lets Make A Deal Halloween Edition and all of a sudden were in a dracula costume on the big deal trying not to get zonked.

Reese : mine is about playing a Indiana Jones video game. I get sucked into the game then all of a sudden I can hardly breathe because the walls are squishing me.

Carson : mine is about me being sucked into Phineas and Ferb. It was like I never thought I would go into outer space. All of a sudden, I'm in the blastoff to the sun. Three, Two, One BLASTOFFFFFFF!

Our stories are totally awesome!
