Water DOES cause erosion!!

Today was an active day! We had Tech lab where students worked on their explorer Glog. Students had to research an explorer and then begin building a Glog that represented that explorer. In science, students had to create their own lab to prove that water was one way to cause erosion!

The holiday break was fun, but it was also fun last week coming back to school to see all of our friends and teachers. The weather was freezing, as the temperture was a low of 26 degrees. Everyone was wearing 3 or even 5 layers of clothing, including the teachers. In the beginning of Mrs. Johnson`s class, we did the usual, our journals then our paragraph editing. Mrs. Johnson shared that her family went to see their grandmother and the power went out because it was so cold. It was fun listening to Mrs. Johnson's story. In Mr.Dulworth`s class, we all shared what we did over the break. Mr.Dulworth went to Fort Worth, Texas. It was really exciting and fun. Lucas also went to Fort Worth to visit family. Mike, the LSU Tiger, went with Kyle to Buffalo, NY and Tampa, Florida for the Outback Bowl. Kyle brought back pictures to share with the class.

After just returning from the break, we had a math benchmark test. We didn't have homework this week so we could prepare. A couple days later, on Thursday, everybody was going crazy because of the Alabama and Texas National Championship game. Soon it was Friday and everybody was wild about the game. Some people were sad that Colt McCoy, quarterback of Texas, got hurt. It was a heartbreaker. Some people were happy because Alabama won.

In Mrs. Johnson`s class we had a couple of tests. We also practiced for our reading benchmark, that was the next week. Finally, it was time to leave school for the week. It was a fun week at the North Pole. BRRRR!!

We started with a two day lab which we will finish tomorrow to show how ice can weather a rock. In social studies, we finished up a few assignments and are looking forward to debating conflicts in early Texas tomorrow.
