Today, we had a visit from the DEA to help KICK-OFF our Red-Ribbon Week, next week. It focuses on encouraging the Kiddos to be DRUG FREE! The DEA officers arrived via helicopter. It was VERY exciting!

Making Fossils

On Friday of last week, we took objects (like shells, twigs and rocks) and pressed them into clay. We filled the imprint with glue and let it dry over the weekend. When we came back today, they had all hardened. With this experiment, the kids demonstrated the difference between molds and casts. The imprint left in the clay was the MOLD. The dried glue demonstrated the CAST. They LOVED making their own fossils.

 FUNNY GUYS!

Hi my name is AJ Hernandez. This week we were learning about Native Americans and double-digit multiplication. The funnest project is making a fossil. Double digit multiplication is hard. Our teacher, Mrs. Thompson  is sweet, kind and awesome. We had ice cream sundaes today for winning PTO membership drive. The sundaes were YUMMY. Today was a long and hard day.

This week in writing we are writing a real five paragraph story about the zoo.We have to copy what she says,but we all get to come up with our own ideas about the story.In science we are still studying about rocks and minerals,but we are almost done.We are going to take the test ,and I think it will be very easy because we have been studying it for a long time and it is an open book test.I enjoy doing boogie math because it is very easy.
