Rhyming and playing with words!

April is National Poetry Month and our bookreports will of course be about poems.
Everyone is reading a poetry book and then they will present one of the poems to the class. We'll tell you more about that once it's done. We are also working with poetry in class. We've been listening to various poems and have been practicing different ways of writing them.

Here are some pictures of when we were writing Couplets.

Science Experiments!

We're still learning about the skeleton.

Here are a couple of the experiments we've done.

Immobilizing of joints!

It's hard to do even simple tasks when you can't bend your fingers, wrists or arms.

Can you fit your whole body through -

a regular sized copier paper?

Yes, if you cut it the right way!

As you can see we have a lot of fun in Science class.

Seahorse

My mom's friend gave me the seahorse. I shared it with the class. The seahorse died from not being in the water. The seahorse is cool because when it was alive you can see how they swim and what they eat. When I got it my mom was so happy to have a seahorse in my family. My sister was great with me. When I was eating dinner the cat moved the seahorse over. All the time my dog will stare at it. The seahorse is by my fish. My fish is happy to have a friend like a seahorse. My fish had nothing before the seahorse was home. My Mom was amazed by my fish having fun. It is funny to watch my fish swim around in a line. I love when my mom is like "where is the seahorse?" I love it so much that it goes every where.When I was at home I wanted to put it in the water. My sister was great holding it.

The Adventure At Elk Moutin

The other day was ski day. I went with my uncle Teddy. I got there at 9:00 and I saw my friends Nick and Matt in the parking lot. I rolled down the window and said "hi guys whats up", and they said scary! It was funny. After that I met my friend Claire. We all went up to Tunkhannock it was me and Nicks first time. It took us 45minuts to get down one time, me Nick and Matt fell every 5 seconds. After we got down Claire went straight and I followed my friend James and my cousin Nick followed me. I fell in the woods. Nick tried to pull me out but he couldn't until he took off his skies. He pulled me up. I took my snowboard off. After I got my board off I went to the lodge. At the end of the day Claire and Nick had a race. Claire is on the Elk ski race so to make it fair Claire took off one ski, but Claire still won. I had a fun ski day!
