This Week in School...
Now and Ben By Alexander & Patrick
This week in school we learned about Ben Franklin . Did you know he invented bifocals? Bifocals are glasses that make you see near or far. He also invented lightning rods. Lightning rods are something that you put on your house that will protect your home from getting struck by thunderstorms and lightning. Here is a fact about Franklin,he thought himself how to swim when he was only seven,how cool is that fact.Also he only had 2 years of formal schooling. Ben also invented hospitals.If people have been very badly injured they can go to the hospital. Do you know a lot about Ben Franklin? ~Alexander
This week we learned about Ben Franklin. My favorite thing that he invinted was the lightning rod.The job the lightning rod does is protect the house from lightning. I learned something very cool about him and that was that he built the first fire department.They had a wagon that was pulled by horses. They used buckets to put all the fire’s out. Did you know that Ben Franklin signed the Declaration of Independence? He was a great leader in our country. ~Patrick
Rain Forest Animal Research by Alyce, Colin, Caroline, Liam
Rrkk! Flap, Flap! WATCH OUT! Swoop! This week in school we learned about the rainforest. My favorite part was getting are animals to research. My animal was a toucan. Emma’s animal was a flying Gecko, Caroline’s animal was a Cassowary, Owen’s animal was a Orangutan,Olivia’s animal was an Amazon River Dolphin.We all got animals. Here are some cool facts about the toucan, toucans live in Central and South America in tropical and
Sub tropical rainforests.They nest in hollow trees. The rainforest layer it lives in is the Canopy. Know you know a little bit about toucans. I loved learning about the rainforest! I hope you did to!! ~ Alyce
This week in school were working on our rainforest animals. On Monday we got to pick a peice of paper with a animal name on it. I picked the vampire bat. All the other teachers assigned there animals that's why Mrs. G is awesome. My favorite part about the vampire bat is that it can drink blood for 30 minutes. The vampire bat is 2 feet long. And its predators are a howler monkey,eagles, sloths,and owls. I loved learning about the vampire bat . ~ Colin
This week in school we did rainforest animal research! My animal was an Umbrella Bird. I couldn’t find enough information on the Umbrella Bird, so I had to get a new animal to research. My new animal was a Cassowary. First, we looked up specific information on an iPad and wrote it on a pink piece of paper. Second, we made a final copy. Third, we drew a picture of our animal. Fourth, we glued our picture and stapled our writing on construction paper. Fifth, we printed out a picture of our animal and glued it in a picture-box on our writing. Now, we are sharing our information with our class. Did you know that Cassowaries are endangered? Rainforests are so interesting! ~ Caroline
This week in school we did our animal research. Mine was the spider monkey. A fun fact is it can go from forest floor to the canopy. The spider monkey eats fruits,nuts, leaves & insects. My favorite kind of spider monkey was the yellow bellied spider monkey. 1 more fact is that their tail is like a fifth hand. I hope you learned something. ~Liam
