Stories with Holes

Okay folks!
Here is the story that we worked on today. Post your questions in the comment area and I will do my best to respond in a timely manner. I will copy your questions and answer them in this post, so check to see what others have asked already. Good luck detectives- put those problem solving abilities to work!

Phillip can eat pears, cream, carrots, bread, and spinach but not apples, milk, hot dogs, soup or fish. Why?

Good questions Ally and Sara- In response to Sara's question, no, it isn't that he doesn't like the taste.

In response to Ally, no, it doesn't have anything to do with his teeth.
Good efforts!

Musical Magic!

I am so proud of all of the hard work that you put into this fantastic performance. It rocked! I think we have some official rock stars on our hands! Way to go! Enjoy the slide show.

A Mythbusting Day


Today we mostly focused one thing. Have you ever seen the show Mythbusters? It is two people trying to solve a rumor like yawning is contagous. Today we did our own little mythbusting with the rumor yawning is contagous. We each had a group of 2 people and we tested them with accordian triangle(where we make a shape out triangles of diffrent colors) We gave them directions on how to do the activity while yawning at random times. We had to see if our subjects yawned too. Our results didn't go as planned. Some groups asked for us to stop yawning!! I guess we have to try again next week!


We also did a couple stories with wholes and learned about Duke Ellington (a famous jazz musician) Next week we'll research a famous jazz musician and we'll pretend to be them by what we learned and have like a interview.

I can't wait until next week!!!
