Science Fair Projects!!!

Science fair is coming up, and many people are doing many interesting projects!!! Here's some...

My friend is doing which shampoo makes hair stronger!(cant wait to see that one). This student will get hair samples, and shampoo them. Another really cool one is seeing which bridge works best! this student will build three 3D bridges, and will test how much weight it can hold.  This one is my favorite... Which finger nail polish takes more coats to completely cover it! She will take a piece of paper, and she'll have the two nail polishes and will coat them. This one is very interesting! Another person is testing which solar oven gets the hottest! She will make solar ovens and test  there temperature!!!

These are all really great!!! Can't wait to see how they turn out!!!

New Projectors

Hey guys,

So you may know that the school got new projectors. To be honest I think the new projectors are hard to use.Last time you could  move things with your finger.Now you have to use the pen to move stuff. The good thing about it is that it comes with a wireless mouse and keyboard. So now you don't even need the laptop. Anyway we have had the new projectors for like a week and now I've gotten used to it.BYE!!!

Results Of Battle Of The Books!

The Battle Of The Books test was on Valentines Day! Everybody did great but only 5 got in the final group. The top 5 were:Katie Grace U., Beatrice A., Quinn P., Fiona C., Chandler P. 

It was during lunch and everybody was biting there nails... I was not in it but the butterfly's in  our stomachs were intense!!! 

The test had 20 questions. And as I heard the test was challenging,VERY CHALLENGING. Each question had all the books as an answer. An example question was: In which book does a painting say "i'm watching you. Tell the truth or else" in large clumsy letters? Do you you know what book this is?...

Math Club!!!

Last Friday, February 1, Math Club started! Math Club is a group of 4th graders and 5th graders that meet after school on Fridays and just do fun math.

This takes place in Mrs. Barrett's classroom(4th grade teacher). We played Zap Zup Zip which is a guessing game. How you play: you write a number(optional) but the players cant know it except you. Its FUN!!!

Hopefully more people come because they are sure going to like it!!!

District Spelling Bee

Hey guys,

So I guess everyone knows that the district spelling bee was on Thursday. Amber and Josie started leaving school around 8:00 . You probably Know that Josie is the runner up. So Amber was going good for the first few rounds. After a few rounds a lot of people were eliminated but Amber was still in. A few rounds later Amber was eliminated. I don't know what was the winning word or the word Amber missed. The winner was Theron from Barrow.

Read more  here . Bye!!!

Video Game Party!

 On Thursday, January 31, we had a Video Game Party! It was a small celebration for filling up our marble jar.The marble jar is a jar that every time you do something good or get a compliment you put a certain amount of marbles depending on what you did. 

  We could bring any appropriate game (iPod,iPad,board games). Our teacher connected the Wii to the Smartboard, and we played Wii Sports. Most people brought iPods and iPads. I brought my iPod. The day was very fun and for sure going to happen soon again!

spelling bee part 2

Hey guys!

So on Thursday there was the spelling bee. Paulina, Beatrice, Amber, and Josie were the last four spellers. Then Beatrice and Paulina got out. So it was only Josie and Amber left. Amber won. But Josie is the runner up, which means if something happens to Amber then Josie will go in her place. Amber won $50 and Josie got $25. Everybody else that competed got $10.


Congratulations to the spellers.
