The last day of Gifted

Today was 4th grade's last day of GIFTED :-( to finish our year with Mrs. Zawis we did many fun activitys but here are a few. We finished our "Jazz Musicians" project by doing posters and doing VoiceThreads for the posters. We also did an activity called "Silly sentances" where two people were given a random sentence and a situation that they had to follow and say there sentence at one point. We also did trebuchets

( An object like a catapult that uses a weight to fling an object in a sack.) where we launched a bon-bon, a pencil eraser, and a tootsie rool to see which object would go the furthest. The two objects that went the furthest the most were the tootsie roll and the eraser.

And lastly we did skits where a group of students were given scripts for numerous skits involving: Sawdust with chocolate on it, 7 up, and the president of the united states jumping out of an airplane. This concludes the final Gifted blog post.

Today in gifted

Today in gifted, we started with Anagrams. To those people who dont know what an anagram is it is a word whose letters can be rearrabged to make a new word. For example, the letters of thorn can be rearranged to make north. Then we did something called the glogster.
We made virtual posters! Cool! Last but not least we learned about Jazz Musicians. As you can see we been really busy today in gifted.

Today in gifted

Today in gifted we did something called spectacular structures and we had to find the great structures from around the world. We also learned about post and lintel. With post and lintel we had to make a stucture of it by using two books and a piece of paper. We put cubes on top of the paper but not on the book and tried to put as many cubes as we could without the paper falling through. Then we made ABC books ( like P is for Passport our book of the month) with what we had learned from architecture.

From Sydney and Min The part standing up is the post and the other that is on top is

the Lintel.

Ending In Israel 1

yYou choose to try to get to Israel alone. You end up in Paris because you didn’t go the right path. Next thing you know, you end up in Tokyo so you decide to walk in a straight line. You end up in Jordan. Just a few more steps. Finally, you are in Israel. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

THE END!!!

Ending in England

You are happy to stay with Chris, so you decide to start searching for an airport. Hey, there’s one! Oh, yeah, you have no money. So you decide to walk to Israel. You take two steps and then fall asleep. When you awaken, Chris is gone, and a hippie is using your foot as a plate to eat his Frosted Mini Wheats. As you scream, “SCRAM! SCRAM! GET OUTTA HERE!” He drops 7,000 pounds (That’s English money) while running away. You first drop by a diner called “The Breakfastham Palace” and order a few croissants. With the remaining money, about 6,985, you purchase a ticket to Israel. While boarding the huge plane, you see Jeremy sitting on a bench… With 62 seconds ‘till the plane lifts off, you sprint to a nearby information desk! You thrust the money at the lady standing behind the counter and she gives you a ticket! Going full speed, you grab Jeremy by his arm, hand him the ticket and push him into the plane! He shows to the man on the plane and you do the same. Man, that was close! Wait, you left your carry-on’s on the bench! You leap over the seat in front of you and sprint towards your belongings, 20 seconds ‘till lift off! You grab items and leap for the plane’s door 5… Almost there! 4… Doors closing! 3… Engine starting! 2... You leap for the door! Hoorah! You’re in! To Israel! WHAT!?!? The plane’s outta gas… Well, good luck getting to Israel! You’re stuck in England!

THE END

vacation in Fritaly part 6

You decide to take the car. You step in with everyone else you drive for miles and miles.
In nearly fourteen hours you were back in the U.S of A.


THE END

vacation in Fritaly part 5

You decide to go to “Bob’s bad flying machines”. You go in the walls are so clean you can see your face in them. There is a thin man wearing a fancy white suit. He greets you with “Hello my name is, Bob! Don’t let the name deceive you we actually have quite a great service! If we don’t fix your plane we’ll give you a free car!”. Sydney and Greg use their own money to pay. You show Bob where the plane and goes out and in twelve minutes the plane is fixed. You walk out side to look at the plane. The second you start to climb up the tower the engine to the plane explodes! “Well, I guess you get that free car.” Bob says. At that moment a car that looked like a Model T pulled out of the driveway it’s tailpipes were spitting fumes.

If you decide to go to “Joe’s junky planes click here

vacation in fridaly part 4 (again)

You go in “Joe’s junky planes”. The walls are incrusted with mold and other substances. You see Joe at the front desk taking a nap. You wake him up and ask for service. Sydney pulls out a crisp $20 bill and gives it to Joe. “Okay, where’s this big ‘ol flying contraption?” Joe asks. Greg leads him outside and points to the Eiffel Tower with the plane wedged on top. Joe stares at the crashed plane for a minute and finally says “how the heck’d that thing get up there?!” He sighs and throws one of those spy movie-like grappling hooks onto the top of the tower. He climbs up and after nearly two hours the plane was fixed up perfectly. John stared in awe at the plane. Joe climbed down the hook and told everyone to climb up the hook’s rope. Before we knew it we were off. We were skyrocketing through the air and right before our eyes we arrived in the U.S.A again.


The end

Vacation in Fritaly part 3 (again)

You decide to leave because the smell is to much stomach. You go around looking for a mechanic to fix the plane. After three grueling hours of looking you and the group find two plane repair shops (conveniently). They are called “Joe’s junky planes” and “Bob’s bad flying machines”. You ponder which one to go in because they both sound like great repairmen.

Go back to Eiffel Tower and Leave right away choice

When they got back to the Eiffel Tower there was a helicopter waiting for them, Ray Ramono was flying the helicopter! Greg started jumping around like he won the lottery and all the money in the world!!! Everyone got back to America and in their homes safe and sound.

THE END

Never Leave Fritaly choice

You all decided to never leave Fritaly and turn down Ray Ramono’s free tickets to America. Greg especially wanted to go to America because he wanted to go to Area 51. He wanted to see aliens there. Greg flew solo to America and went to Area 51. He tried to sneak into Area 51 but if he passed the orange line he would get shocked. He tried 10 times to get passed the line but he couldn’t so he got a rubber suit and passed the line easily. Then he went in a room that said KEEP OUT!!!!!! He couldn’t read and thought it said tours of the aliens. When he went in, he saw tons of aliens that where really mean but Greg thought they were nice and tried to play BINGO with them. An escape pod popped up out of the ground and when it opened up its door John was standing there. John grabbed Greg and pulled him in the escape pod. In a split-second, they were back safe and sound right in Fritaly. When they opened the door, they
saw Sydney and Erina right in front of them. You two told Greg not to wonder off on himself!

THE END

Vacation In Fritaly part 4

Greg and John said that there was a state park 2 miles away from Friddle Diddle music store, and they sell delicious sandwiches there. So you and Erina took a taxi to Friddle Diddle music store and then walked two miles to the state park. They got to feed deer and ducks with the bread from a bakery close to the park, while waiting for Greg and John. Finally we saw Greg and John huffing and puffing as they ran to the lake. We both decided that they were racing. But unfortunately Greg and John were running so fast they were not looking where they were going and they pushed you two in the lake and Greg and John lost balance and also fell in. So the next thing you know you and your friends were at the clothes store to get new clothes for us. You and Erina got polka-dot t-shirts and a pair of jeans. John got a white shirt and a red velvet jacket with a pair of jeans. Greg got the only thing that had his size which was a black t-shirt with a book cover on it and the title said Get That Pumpkin Hat Off Your Head. He got the pumpkin hat to go with it and also a pair of baggy jeans, he got the book free with everything he bought. After an hour of picking out clothes and making fun of Greg’s outfit, we decided to go back to the park and get some food at the bakery, it was delicious. It was the best bread you ever had.

Vaction in Fritaly part 3 (of whole story)

Sydney and Erina decide to jump off the plane with jacket parachutes. So you two jump off the plane and the parachute lands on top of your heads and someone thought we were ghosts that fell from the sky. When you and Erina took the parachutes off, you realize you were in the Rome Coliseum and are thousands of people staring at you. You two run out of the Coliseum at the speed of lightning because of how scared you two are. So you two run out of the Coliseum to a pay phone.

Just as Erina was about to put in her coins, Erina noticed she didn’t have any Fritaly coins so Erina asks you to run to the bank and exchange her American coins for Fritaly coins. So you run to the bank and get Fritaly coins so you two can call Greg and John. Greg and John are in the middle of Fritaly.

Choose Your Own Adventure (Vacation in Fritaly)

Vacation in Fritaly!
By: Jacob , Andy, Sydney , Erina.

We all greeted the pilot and then looked for our seats A: 28, Q: 62, and E: 12. We sat down a stared out the window. Sydney and Erina were sitting in front of a baby. Who cried the entire time! It was a very unpleasant trip!

It was about two grueling hours. The pilot announced “We shall be landing in 30 minutes.”“WAAAAHHH!” the baby cried. The plane was going down faster….. and faster and then up. The pilot announced “Fasten your seatbelts!”

Suddenly…. The plane stopped in midair. And almost immediately we began to fall. Screams filled the air. BANG! Everyone seemed discombobulated. We thought we had landed. But we were corrected by the sight of the Eiffel Tower. Under the plane!

Eco Ed Science Lab In School Field trip

Today we had Ms.Jolene come in from the Eco Ed Science Lab Company. We learned about chromatography which is a picture of color. Chroma means color. We had a mystery liquid and everyone guessed what it was and these are what we came up with : marker, Germ-X, 2 votes for nail polish remover, perfume,and a dry erase marker. We stuck pieces of paper into the mystery liquid and there was some sort of liquid or something on each piece of paper. Some of them dissapeered. Some mixed with each other. We also did fingerprinting. Ms. Jolene put fingerprinting powder on our hands and then we tried to wash them and she took the black light on our hands and we tried to see who washed their hands the best. It was pretty hard!!!
