Jonathan Sprout

Jonathan Sprout came to our school. He told us about heroes. One hero was Amelia Earhart. She was the first person to fly over the Pacific Ocean. Another hero was Abraham Lincoln. He was the president of the United States. Sacajawea was an Indian girl. She is on a gold coin.

Jonathan is a wonderful person and singer. You can visit his website. Our favorite part of the program was when Jonathan sang Washington's Hat. It was a catchy and funny song. The program was amazing.

Firefighters

Firefighters are busy all the time.  One of the firefighters has to check to see if the fire hoses are screwed on tightly to the truck. When the bell rings, firefighters slide down a pole and a thick pad cushions their feet.  Somebody hooks the hose to the nearest fire hydrant so they can spray the burning house with water. Firefighters have to hold tightly to the hose.Their air tanks only hold forty minutes of air to breathe.

Firefighters have flashlights to see through the dark smoke.  Firefighters have saws and axes to break through doors, roofs, and walls.  Helmets protect the firefighters' heads from being damaged.  They have suits to protect them from big and small fires.  Always remember your fire plan because if there is a fire in your home, you would have to get out safely.

Monkeys

Monkeys are very exciting and playful animals.  There are 150 kinds of species.  Monkeys and relatives like apes, live in social groups.  Some monkeys eat leaves while hanging from trees. Monkeys live together and sometimes sing together.  There are 181 monkey families.  Monkeys will eat things like fruit, flowers, birds, butterflies, bamboo shoots, crabs, eggs, and frogs' legs.

Monkeys have long, strong fingers and toes to get food or to swing from place to place.  Monkeys swing through treetops, but bigger monkeys stay on the ground.  Monkeys sometimes live in families.  Monkeys called baboons have males that are twice the size of females.  The males live on the edges of the troop. Monkeys make faces when they're playing, just like humans. Monkeys called patas live on the plains of Africa.  Hyenas, leopards, and elephants live with the patas.  That is how monkeys are very exciting and playful animals.

Fractions

Have you ever used fractions before?  One fourth means one is shaded out of four equal parts.  Also, 1/4 can show that one is left out of four equal parts,  too.  Make sure you always remember to check to see if all the parts are equal because fractions have equal parts.  Do you like working with fractions?  I know I do.

Bulldogs

There are all kinds of bulldogs.  I think that English bulldogs are the cutest out of all bulldogs.  Bulldogs can be big or small.  If you get a bulldog when it is a baby, it would be more pleasant.  Some bulldogs bite, but some do not bite.  they come in all colors.  If you decide that you want a bulldog, you have to pick the right bulldog.  The best way to find the right bulldog is look through a breeded.  I like bulldogs because they are cute.

Seussical

Seussical was a wonderful play about the Cat in the Hat.  At the beginning of the play, the Cat in the Hat popped out of a big white and black hat.  He said hello then sang a song.  In the middle of the play, Horton sat on an egg becausethe bird needed a vacation.  She sat on her egg forever.  At the end of the play, the monkeys came out and pushed Horton off the egg.  If you enjoyed the play, please tell us.

Pumpkins

Did you know that a pumpkin is a fruit? Pumpkins can be fun when you carve them. you can eat the pumpkin seeds that are in the pumpkins. Pumpkins usually come out by Halloween. There are all sizes of pumpkins. Did you know that some towns hold a festival to celebrate the fall harvest? If you learned something new, please tell me.
