Flashlights and Letters

We wrote a letter for Sandy and Bob.  Sandy was our teacher at Ashfall.  Bob was the bus driver who drove us to Ashfall and Grove Lake.  Mrs. Manz is taking people to read.  We had problem of the day in Math.  When I was reading about snakes, I scared Mrs. Soderberg.  I said, "Yuck, I do not like them!"  We went to the library today instead of tomorrow.

Our Field Trip to Ashfall Fossil Beds

We got on the bus right away in the morning.  The ride was fun and bumpy.  First we went to the bathroom and checked out the fossils on the side of the walkway.  We had a snack before we went on the path.  After that we went to the gift shop and visitor's center and learned about fossils from Sandy.  We got to see ash and other fossils and one was from WAKEFIELD!  We put ash on our fingers and held it up in the sunlight.  It sparkled!  We got to check around in the gift shop.  Mr. Johnson brought a rock that looked like it had a coral in it and he showed it to one of the paleontologists.  The paleontologist thought it might have lived before the dinosaurs.  Then we went inside the Rhino Barn.  We saw a lot of fossils in the Rhino Barn.  Then it was time to go to the pond to eat.  After we ate we played at the park, then we climbed the mountain.  Then we went home.  Lots of us went to sleep and fell on the floor.

The Funny Day

Today we did our Math test.  In Mrs. Schlickbernd's room, there was a play called The Circus.  Ella sat on a tardy balloon.  The tardy balloon sounded like a whoopie cushion.  There was another play called The Rainforest.  Olivia the bird lost her nest.

Thermometer Day

We are learning about thermometers.  We put the thermometers in just water, ice water, and just ice.  Just water was the hottest.  When Karen and Dalton went to get their books, they scared Mrs. Manz, and she said, "Oh, you scared me."  At small group the timer went off and Mrs. Johnson asked Mr. Johnson, "Are you timing me?"  We laughed.  We went to the Care Center today.  We have another One Book One School book.
