Zoo mobile

                                          zoo mobile!

the Kansas City zoo came to our school and they brought a turtle,turkey,a king snake,and a millipede .And it was so cool and everybody was so excited to see what was in the cage that kept on scquaking. And we had no clue what they brought because he kept on talking about polar bears and penguins and all kinds of other animals.It was interesting for all of us to learn about all of the animals.And it was a interesting opportunity to go to.

Food Chains and Webs

Jonah is making a food chain.

I'm writing this today because I wanted to tell you about science.You should read the because it was fun and you can get them to play it on the computer.Today at science we went to the computer lab and played some games about food chains and food webs.There was like 2 games where you put animals in a food chain.there was like 5 games of the food chains and food webs.The food web games was like the food chain games.The lesson was to learn more about food chains and food webs.The link was http://tinyurl.com/sniabar . 

Here are some girls in the lab.

What we learned from doing this is about the food chains and webs.What it was when we made food chains and we made some food webs on the computer.I think we all learned maybe a little about them today.

The boys here are making food webs and chains

Food Chains are:Always starts with a producer 

Food Webs are:A collection of food chains

here elizabeth playing a matching game.

DARE Graduation

D.a.r.e graduation was awsome. Every one in our class graduated, and we got to see Darin. During D.A.R.E graduation we sang the D.A.R.E song, we also got to choose a D.A.R.E braclet. We could choose beetween black, red, or camo. Some of us saw our parents there and we waved to them. My dad met lilli's mom and after that we got a cookie and a cup of water.we also saw the dogs. officer chance was right,after you hear the dare song it really is stuck in your head.it was one of the best days of my life. it was really fun when we got to shake everyones hand and high five darin the lion.

Science city visit

Science city visit!

Today we had a guy named trevor come from science city to show us some demonstrations of physics! First he did that trick from Ghostbusters where you yank a tablecloth out from underneath a plate. Then he used potential and kinetic energy to use a big ball to propel a tennis ball far up into the air. As seen in the picture above he dropped a bowling ball onto a trampoline to bounce it into the air. And for the final trick he used cintrifugal force to keep a teddy bear onto a Greek waiters food holder. Then he did the same trick with a glass of water, well, let's just say that didn't end so well. Well, it was an awesome time and we had a lot of fun learning about force and motion!

A "hot" experiment

A "hot" experiment

Today we did an experiment using hot wheel cars and two taped meter sticks, it was pretty fun just playing with cars during science! 

The first day we talked about friction, which is the force that makes things stop when they go on a different surface which makes the two rub together and slow down. We also talked about Gravity, the force that holds us down on the earth. Then we taped the meter sticks and made a hypothesis about if the number of books would effect how far the car rolls. 

The second day we did the experiment by stacking books to put the meter stick on and rolling the car down the sticks. 

And after we did all that we calculated the averages and made a bar graph showing our averages. So we had an awesome time doing and learning about force and motion in this fun way.

Our fun APP!

In math we used a Virtual Reality App called Aurasma. It lets you hide objects in our "virtual world". So with our normal eyes we only see a computer, with Aurasma, we see a math problem.

In real life there is not a flying car, but in the virtual world of Aurasma there is.

In the app we did a scavenger hunt where every time we found a clue like the picture above, it would show a math equation or a funny video. We used it to go over our study guide for division.

In this activity we would go into groups of three carrying  the iPad for one group, the teacher's phone, and my phone since I had the app. 

What the app does is you can make you own a aura. All you have to do is pick a design to go inside your aura. Then, you find a place around the room you want to put it in and post! 

Our class agreed to do it again because we had so much fun the first time. It taught us a lot about how to work together. The funny thing is that we all couldn't find one of them which was the teacher! In conclusion, we had a learning experience while still getting to have some fun.

BIST PARENT NIGHT

Working At B.I.S.T Night

This is what B.I.S.T night was like for me. I really liked working there. When my little sister and I walked into the school, we sat down on a bench and waited to be assigned jobs. I was assigned on greeting the parents. Two other "employees " worked with me. One handed a B.I.S.T packet, another an agenda, and I spoke to whoever came. After our "shift" was done, all of the employees ate pizza outside of the library. The children that came to B.I.S.T night were in the library having fun while the parents stayed in the cafeteria listening about what the safe spot is, stuff like that. After the pizza, we could go to the library. Inside, there was a movie playing, kids playing with action figures, and coloring at the tables. I watched the movie. I didn't get to finish because my mom was here to pick us up. That is what I did at B.I.S.T parent night. : )

A Reminder

__________

If you have been in war or gruesome battles I recommend not reading this.

I’m writing to tell you about Veterans Day. You should read this it could tell you a lot.

This is about Veterans Day. A veteran  is a person who served in the military or still does. On veterans day we thank the people who served our country to save ours and other lives.

What we did in Mrs. Terry and one of the students dads came in to teach us a lesson about veterans day. He showed us pictures his jobs and the military dogs he had.

Well if you want to know more look it up or ask a parent or friend.

The drunk goggles

I am writing this because i wanted to share about when we all put on 'drunk goggles.'You should read this because it was funny because we could not walk a straight line.The lesson was to try to walk a straight line in the 'drunk goggles.'The activity was to have fun while trying to walk straight,it was hard. I thought it was really fun because some of us fell and walked complitly off the line, and some did good.If you tried this with a bunch of friends you would have a good and fun time doing it.I would try to do a wavey line and try to get i it right.

drinking is a bad thing if you drink alot, if you drink one every once in a while that would be better to do. If you drink under age it is bad because your body is growing at the time.You should only drink if you're 21 or older.Drinking and driving is bad because you can kill or injure you or someone else, it can turn into a disaster.

LEADERSHIP NOTEBOOKS!!!

On November 4,2014 we were working on our leadership noteooks. A leadership notebook tracks all of the work we do all year long. In our leadership notebooks we were writing out our academic and our personal wig planners.In our academic wig planners we wrote down what we wanted to get better at in school. Then our personal wig planners is for what we want to get better at outside of school like a sport you like to play. In those goals we would set a date when we want to accomplish that goal. For example say you wanted to get better at math you would say I want to get better at math by March. We also made a calender when we practiced what we wanted to get better at. For example i wanted to get better at basketball so I made a calender so every day I practiced basketball I would put a check mark on that day I practiced. In conclusion we all learned how to set goals so we can make our dreams come true.

Vertabrate prezi projects

In science we were learning about the five vertebrates. The teacher thought instead of doing a boring presentation on paper, we would make a technical presentation with www.Prezi.com. In these projects we were split into five groups. Each group was chosen a vertebrate to present with their prezi.The five vertebrates we studied were amphibians,reptiles,birds,fish, and mammals.The requirments were to have where is there habitat,are they born alive or hatched.life cycle,if they breath in their lungs or gills,and the body covering.

In this projects we learned about vertebrates in a very fun way.In this project we learned to use habit six:synergize. The teacher thought that it would be best if we would do a fun project while using the 7 habits with others. So basically we got schooled by our 5th grade teacher Mrs.Sims.So we got schooled by our teacher, IN SCHOOL!!!

In conclusion, all of us learned about how to work together and still have a learning expirence. This shows to every student that thinks school stinks is wrong. Ask Mrs.Sims class if school is fun. They will all say it is with Mrs.sims.

The history of famous explorers

During social studies we are working on research on different people like : john Cabot,vasco Nunez de balboa,Ferdinand Magellan, and Fransico Vazquez Coronado. We have find the country they represents, Summary, drawing, travel route, and a "Did you know". You have a partner, and a computer to get your information. I'm writing this to tell you about what we were doing in social studies last week. This is about how hard we were working in social studies with a partner. The project was about famous travelers from long ago. In our projects we had to search up our travelers home town flag. For example: Spain. In the lesson we learned how to correctly research people from the past. Everyone learned about people they have never heard of before. My partner didn't even know who Fransico Vasquez Coronado was until we researched him for a week. Now everyone in the class learned something new. In conclusion, people should get researching on people from the past to see what they can learn.
