Dear blog, we are so sorry for not blogging very much this year!  We are going to try to do much  better this semester.  We had a huge observation where 28 principals came to watch us do our thing!  We were amazing!!! They said that we had an amazing class and that we were the best!  It felt really good to learn how to answer and ask amazing questions.  We have learned about heroes, biographies, built volcanoes, and we even wrote a biography project about a friend.

yesterday we went to the Yeargen Art Museum. We had a wonderful time!  We made art, watched two movies, and looked at instruments and art. 
Here are the pictures!!

Sugar Cube Experiment

Yesterday we performed an experiment on changing states of matter.  We used sugar cubes, sandpaper, plates, goggles, and our science journals.  We used the sandpaper to change the sugar cube from a cube to a sphere.  Here are the pictures!

Septmember 20, 2012- Ice Experiment

Today we performed an experiment with ice.  We hypothesized that our ice would melt by the time we got back from specials.  Actually the ice didn't melt all the way. Here is the video of our experiment.  Enjoy!

Also- our field trip is next Wednesday the 26th.  Mr. Jacob and Mrs. Wright (Mrs. Cox's mom) will come on the trip with us!  We are so excited!

This morning was a little crazy because Mrs. Cox had to give the STAAR test to a group of 4th graders! They did a great job!
Yesterday Mrs. Cox got really sick and had to go to the ER to get checked out. Now she is feeling a little better but is not all the way back to normal. Mekenzie was trying to find her cats and the other one was behind the bed.
One time Hunter had to go to the IC for migraines and seizures.
Adrian got a new xbox controller from GameStop. YAY! It is black.
One time Aurora's cat got a big cheek because a dog bit a hole in it. The cat is better now.
Alyssa's sister Sarah cut herself on her leg. Hunter got bit by a dog last week and he still has a mark on him. One time Daniel was running and he fell, then he got dizzy. His mom told him to lay down and then he got better.
Last night Adriana went to Speedy's with her older brother and sister and rode gocarts!
