Tallulah Gorge

Hello!

      It's finally spring! It's also the perfect time to go to........ Tallulah Gorge! We had a class field trip to Tallulah Gorge two days ago, and it was awesome! It was super nice out, and it looked SO pretty! I think I can say all of fifth grade had a good time, and when we were going home on the bus, everyone was really tired! I would definitely recommend going there for a vacation, as long as you're willing to walk a lot! We all split into different groups, and took A LOT of photos! We went to the power plant, hiking, and a presentation about rocks and minerals! Here are some of the photos from Ms. Thompson and Mrs. Wilcox from their groups! 

                                          Bye!

April Fools!

Happy April 1st! HAHAHAHA! Just kidding! It's still March 31, 2016. Unless you see my blog tomorrow or any other time besides today just ignore the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th sentences.

Well, back on track, yesterday me and all the other 5th graders went on a field trip to Tallulah Falls! The only scary part of the field trip was on the cable car, it was slow, TILTED, oh, and did I mention, TERRIFYING. But other than the cable car  everything was awesome. We went to the dam, control room, went over a wobbly bridge, and watched a video. It was an amazing field trip!

Easter

Hi!

So, last week was Easter I got a yoga mat, tons and tons of chocolate, and more. Josie got chocolate and candy and a stuffed animal, Tommy got a badminton set and a volleyball, Owen got an iPad case, Penelope got CHOCOLATE, Bird got a gift card and candy, Melvie (Mrs. Hudson's daughter) got bubbles and some books. My sister's birthday was the 21st of March too; it was awesome and we had an Easter egg hunt, a beautiful spring setting to eat lunch in, and badminton. I love Easter because you can eat a lot of CANDY and sweets!

Cheers,

Char

Milestones, CRCT, and APRIL FOOLS DAY

The Milestones is the test that replaced the CRCT. The CRCT was better because it was not on the computer. The Milestones are 5 days. The subjects we are taking are Social Studies, Science, Math, and ELA. Last year, the people of the company said some of the answers did not go through but they did. We will get our scores back 10 days after testing. We got our scores from last year in October.
  
Tomorrow is April Fools. April Fools Day is when you get a day of pranking people. A few of my classmates and I have an awesome trick to prank Ms. Thompson. If you are reading this, Ms. Thompson, I am not going to say what the prank is. Ha ha ha.

Tallulah Gorge

Two days ago we got to see Tallulah Gorge. We got to see all sorts of cool things.

That is a picture of a Luna moth. We got to see one hibernating right when we got there! It stayed there the entire time we were there. We got to play games, go on hikes, and watch a short film. We learned about minerals, the dam, and Tallulah Gorge. It was very fun to learn about that. I hoped you liked what I talked about and I will see you later.

Easter!!!

Over the weekend, my family and I went to our neighbor's house and almost the whole neighborhood was there! We first did the Easter egg hunt where I found an egg with five dollars in it, then we ate (we brought deviled eggs and salad), then we played a big game of dodge ball where the parents make a big circle around the kids in the middle and then they have to try and hit the kids with the ball to get them out, and if you get out, you join the parents and try and get people out. My favorite part is always the dodge ball game and the egg hunt. Now I have to what until next year!

                                              Bye, Josie T.

Book Fair

Dag iedereen!
The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school soon! We are so excited!!!(The bloggers and I) We get to shop it on Tuesday and Thursday, since conferences are then and we will have our parents with us. We can also go during the school day (with permission) if we bring money. The new books sound even more interesting now that we have watched the Scholastic video and seen all the choices! 

Also, today is St Patrick's Day! All of us are wearing green, and we have fiddlers playing at lunch as a fun celebration! 

Hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick's Day

Great Day!

I'm feeling green today! Happy St. Patrick's Day! Are you wearing green today? If not, then....PINCH! The clover celebrates this holiday and so do leperchauns and Ireland. It is about luck and the 4 leaf clover. Put some more green on; there can never be enough green. If you want to learn more about St. Patrick's Day then go to this site:

SPRING BREAK!!!!

Hello!

Today I am blogging about SPRING BREAK!!! Over my spring break, I went to Florida, Savannah, and Augusta! I spent most of my time in Augusta, but I did spend a good 2 or 3 days in Florida/Savannah. In Florida, I go to go go-carting with my aunt Susan and uncle George! In Savannah, I got to go to the candy shop, and beach with my dad and my aunt, and in Augusta, I went to Chuck-E-Cheese with my god-brother and my godfather! I think my favorite part of spring break was going on a dolphin tour in Savannah! My least favorite part was my mom having to do a bunch of school work, limiting the time we got to spend together, but I still was glad I got to hang out with my mom and her boyfriend! What did you guys do over your spring break? Comment down below! That's all for now! P.S- Happy St. Patrick's Day!
                   

Bye!
