The Native American Suprise

A Native American man came to our school. He showed us a lot of cool and neat things. He brought a real tepee and set it up in the gym. We learned that they wore wolf fur and hides to chase the buffalo off the cliffs. He shared with us that they couldn’t talk to other people who were not in their family because it was considered rude. They drank out of buffalo bladders, buffalo horns and buffalo stomachs. We also learned that they burned buffalo poop in their fires because it helped keep in the fire burning. We thought he was awesome!

We have mealworms in our classroom. When they came they were mealworms larva. They live in wheat germ in a vial. Mealworms eat small pieces of sweet potatoes. After they are larvae they turn in to a pupa. Then they turn into a Darkling beetle. Mealworm larvae have six legs ,two eyes and two antennas. We use our magnifying glasses to see them closer. We have a scientist book where we write observations and draw pictures.

Goebbert's Pumpkin Farm

We went to the Goebbert’s Pumpkin Farm last Thursday! Our class got to pick out pumpkins. We put them in a bag and we also got some gourds. The hayride was fun for the whole class! We saw sheep, lambs, pigs, chickens, rabbits, goats, peacocks, llamas, bees and ducks. We also played in their two mazes. At Goebbert’s there is a pumpkin eating dinosaur that loves to eat pumpkins. The dinosaur also blew smoke at us too! We had SO much fun at Goebbert’s today.

Veteran's Day

At the assembly on October 10th we saw a lot of veterans. Then Mr. Woods, a veteran came in our class room. Mr. Woods was in the army and he was in the tank. He told us that in the Mess Hall you could not talk and if you talked everybody would have to stand up and eat. Also when the general came in your room he would bounce a quarter on top of your bed if the quarter did not come back he would mess up your bed.
