Fabulous Friday

My Fabulous Friday class is origami with Miss Ducker. First we did a house, a puppy, and a heart. Then we did a bunny fish. Origami is fun.  And I can't wait to see what is next. I love origami with Miss Ducker. Here are instructions for a puppy dog!

Mr.Kross' Birthday

Mr. Kross' birthday was last week! We surprised him in the gym with the "Harlem Shake" and we had fun! We sang "Happy Birthday" to him too.  Some of the teachers held up a big picture of him.  It was great!

Box turtle

Our student teacher brought her box turtle and every kid in our class got to hold the turtles. When we were done, we got a card that had our name and a picture of a box turtle. THE END

The Sock Hop

The Sock Hop was so fun! To go to the Sock Hop you had to pay $3.00. For snack we got cookies and a drink. We played 3 games: a bubblegum blowing contest, a limbo contest, and a hula hoop contest. This was after school fun and we spent time with friends. It was great :)

Beauty and the Beast

It was amazing when the Beast turned back into a human. Luminire, the candle stick, was cool.  It was Mrs. Coon`s son, Smith.  It was brilliant. I sat by Ryan at the Princess Theater.  I loved it!                                                  
 By.Emma White                          

The 5th 4th & 3rd graders did the play. The 3rd graders were spoons, knifes, servers, and forks. The 4th graders were townsfolks & wolves. 5th graders were the main parts. I think I would do good on that part.
THE END

Science Fair Posters

I did a bar graph on my science fair poster. My title was called How Many Different Animals Communicate. I did a lot of research on ten different animals.  I found out that there are five ways animals communicate:  by sounds, scents, facial gestures, movement, and touch.  Gorillas and dogs have the most ways of communicating and bees only have one way of communicating.  I learned a lot from doing my poster.  It was a lot of fun and I can't wait to see who wins!
by Abby

Today Ben Davis science fair posters are due.The theme is the animal kingdom. You had to research and design a poster .Judges will decide who is 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place on Thursday.  It will be very exciting.  If you are doing it... good luck!
by Tait Stewart
Some kids make posters for the sience fair.  There are judges and they look at your poster.  Then, they put 1st,  2nd, and 3rd place on the poster they like.
