A Dot in Math Means Mulitplication


Did you know when you do a math sentences that are multiplication, you are using times? You can write it in a different kind of way. You use a dot instead of an "x". That is the way the middle school and high school teachers want us to learn it.

Mrs.Thorn


We have Mrs. Thorne every other week to teach us. We really like Mrs. Thorne a lot. Mrs.Thorn helps us when we have a problem. Mrs.Thorne is a very nice teacher. Mrs. Thorne comes to every classroom every month. Mrs. Thorne likes every kid in this school. If a kid gets a pink slip, they go to the cafeteria and she reminds them about the rules.

PB & J 5000







We programed Dr.Jason as a robot to make a pb & j sandwich. We told him to open the bread but we didn't tell him how to, so he ripped the bag and the bread flew everywhere. It was like he set off a bomb in the bread. He messed up a little bit. We laugh so hard.

Mosquitos


Today at school we were in reading and I said to Mrs.schimel that only female mosquitos bite. The next morning Mrs.schimel had papers and it said that only female mosquritos bite and I was right! The female mosquitos bite because of their eggs. The female mosquitos lay there eggs on water. Every time I go fishing a mosquito bites me. But last year my family put bug spray on me.

Science

Today we got to do science. It was fun. We got to have Dr. Jason this year. He is a graduate student from the U of O. We learned some science that water is a liquid and ice is a solid. We had to discover shapes. We know our senses. 1 is seeing 2 is smelling 3 touching 4 is tasting 5 is hearing. Here are some words: 1 is soft 2 is smooth 3 is solid 4 is tough. The other 14 are hard, rigid, rough, size, square, triangle, liquid, gas, solid, color, tan, clear, transparent, opaque, flexible, that's all the words. We just started science on Monday 3-1-10. We all got to have the same supplies. Science is the best thing in the world!
