This week at school we learned about weather. We learned about the gases and the layers of the Earth. Did you know that the air is seventy eight percent nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1 percent other gases? Also did you know that we live in the troposphere layer of the Earth? We also learned about clouds, air pressure, and more really cool weather things.
In Social Studies we learned about Columbus and how he was a huge bully. He was trying to get to Asia, but ended up in the Carribean Sea, enslaved the Indians, then made them find gold. If they didn't find any gold he would kill them.
In math we learned about order of operations. To do this first you have to do the parentheses. After you do that you do the exponents. Then, you do multiplication and division. Finally, you do adding and subtracting. That's how you do order of operations.
In grammar, we are finishing up on possessive nouns. Sometimes it can really mess with your head but isn't that why we learn?
This weekend Crawford came over to my house. Crawford brought a cool game. The game was R2D2 Trouble. It made a lot of noises. The funniest sound was when R2D2 screamed. We went to Jaemor Farm and got some apples. I have no idea what Dad and Miss Cindy are going to do with all those apples but I know they're going to do something. I have one question...
What did you do that was fun this week?
Max,
ReplyDeleteI took most of the apples to school for the teachers. The teachers work really hard so I try to do nice things for them. They each got an apple in their mailbox on Monday. Did you know that Monday was also Johnny Appleseed Day?
The rest of the apples are for us. We are going to make apple butter together next week. I hope it is as good as Grandma Miller's! I think we will also make waffles to go with our apple butter! YUMMY
Sounds like you've had a busy week at school! Also sounds like you and Crawford had a good time. Did he talk you leg off?
ReplyDeleteHave you started reading the book I sent you? I bought that same book and started reading it yesterday. I think it's going to be a really interesting book!
My fun this week was a trip to the Art Museum in Akron to see a kaleidoscope quilt exhibit. Have you ever looked through a kaleidoscope? They are sooooo neat. The quilts were very beautiful.
Wish I were going to be there to try out some of Miss Cindy's apple butter - yummy!
Love,
Nana
Ps. The stashes were really cool! The handlebar was my favorite.
Nana,
ReplyDeleteI don't think that Crawford talked my leg off because I still have all my body parts.I have looked in a kaleidoscope and it hurts my eyes.
Love,
Max
