This week's school was sooooooo hard! (said in a VERY whiney voice)
I couldn't get my work done because I didn't know what to do even though I had a list in front of me for everyday.
The best part about this week was when I made my rag doll. My rag doll's name is A Boy...NO!...I mean, my rag doll's name is John. I made him by using fabric strips that I cut out of old shirts and pants. Of course, the best part about last year was when I made my mummy, so I think maybe I love to make things.
This week's Brain Candy was making balloon rockets. After we made them we had to shoot them along a string course from the landing for the third floor stairs to Mom and Dad's bedroom at the end of the hall. My lines on my balloon looked good but I didn't win. Actually we are not sure who won. I just think it wasn't me. Mine wouldn't go all the way down the hall.
In history, we played the London Company game. We were all investors in the London Company, which was eventually called the Virginia Company in the 1600s. We were sending ships to Jamestown and then, when they returned we would share in their profits. Unfortunately we never knew if a ship had been attacked by pirates or had sunk on the way so sometimes I lost my investment. The gold was represented by chocolate so it was yummy history.
In science we studied the water cycle. We made a water cycle in a bottle. I put it outside and when the water evaporates it gets caught in the bottle like condensation. And then it will fall down like precipitation. We also did experiments with the water cycle but I am not going to talk about them here.
My favorite thing we did this last week was, well, I don't know. It was just a good week of school.

**Ed. Note** Below is a video of last week's paper airplane airshow. It is Tian's first attempt at movie production.
I liked the robo copter.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I can't decide between the count and the world record. I like the snub-nosed designs:)
ReplyDeleteGreat! I loved watching you guys do this together. And which is my favorite? I would say the robo-chopter, but mostly just because I liked the filming when it went all the way down the stairwell. And I couldn't tell, but did you make the "World's Greatest" (is that what it was called?) or make it from some kind of kit? THe paper was so shiny, it looked like some kind of kit.
ReplyDeleteOne suggestion is that next time you post the question first, so that we know to think about it as we're watching the video.
I love you both!
Just a note-- the above is from Auntie, not from Uncle Dan, but I couldn't get the computer to sign him out and sign me in. I'll get him to watch and offer his opinion when he gets home tomorrow.
