An Informative Day

Whew! We took in quite a bit of information today. In addition to having an at length discussion about genetics, we studied architectural columns including: Egyptian, Greek, and post and lintel designs. Pictures will be posted soon. Would you believe that a rolled up sheet of looseleaf paper could possibly hold multiple books on top of it? Most wouldn't, but our architects in training might beg to differ! I have a question for Ally- you posted a comment inquiring about a particular blog that you looked at recently. Which were blog were you referring to? I am excited to hear and see that you are exploring the technology universe. Way to go!
Don't forget to give your parents the genetics survey so that we can complete Punnett squares next week in class.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Stories with Holes Solved!

Is Elaine a car?
Ally

Is Elaine a pot?
Megan

Great comments girls!!! Ally, you got it- Elaine is a car! Kudos to those who tried! I will post a new one tomorrow as I realized that I left my book at school. Oops!
On another note- I have a question to pose to all of you...if you had a choice of something that you would be interested in learning more about- any topic at all that is reasonable to learn about at school- what would it be? For example- I myself would pick neuroscience (basically the brain in other words) beacuse that topic fascinates me. What would you pick??? Grids to all those who leave comments!

A "Hole" Lot of Fun

Today we did alot of interesting things.First,we learned about Salvador Dali and made some art like his called surrrealism.Surrealism is kind of like abstract art.It is pretend like a dream.Also, we created an architeture project.We are studying a new unit about architecture.
Last week we learned about stories with holes and this week made up our own.Here are mine,Carli's,and Ally's stories.
Ally's: A man got locked in a ice room.There were big ice cubes everywere!! There was only one window near the ceiling. An hour later, another man came in the ice room he only saw a big puddle of water what happend to the man who got locked in?
Carli's:Rose and Daisy best friends were April and May so they went to meet them.Rose and Daisy had a snack.When they left April and May they were taller than when they came.Why were Rose and Daisy taller when they left?

Carli and Ally

Stories with Holes

Okay folks- here is the story that we discussed during class. Please post your questions in the comment section and I will post them for everyone to see. Good luck!

"When Glen arrived, Elaine's body parts were scattered everywhere, although no blood had been shed."

Once we solve this one, I will post another.
