Week 4 Contact

This is me playing Wii Fit.  This is soccer.  You hit the ball with your head.  They throw shoes and panda heads too.  You are not supposed to get hit by those, but sometimes they hit me.  I thought it was pretty funny!

This is a picture of me when I finished The Boxcar Children.  This was the first chapter book I ever read on my own.  I really liked it a lot.

We just finished our unit on Ancient Egypt.  I made a pyramid and we read a book about it.  I learned in the book that the Pharaohs thought they could take things with them when they died so they were buried with them.

This is a picture of my spelling words for the week.  I don't know why the picture is sideways.

This is the Aesop Fable we are reading right now, The Fox and the Goat.  The moral of the story is to look before you leap.  Sometimes I have a hard time thinking about what I do before I do it, like the goat, but I am trying.

Week 3 Contact

This a post card of the pyramids that I made.

This is the back of the postcard.  I wrote to my uncle Evan who is on a mission in Germany.

This is me doing my math.  

This is me writing about the moral of the story.  We learned about the Milkmaid and her pale from Aesop's Fables

I am reading Boxcar Children right now.    My favorite characters are Jessie and Violet.  They made a swimming pool.  I wish I could make a swimming pool.  They also made their own house.

These are apples that my friend picked and brought  over for me.   We made apple bread.  It was so yummy!

My Trip to Utah

I saw Jerusalem.

I saw the statue of Jesus.  It made me feel happy.

My Grandpa told me how the artist made it with the face looking up, but didn't like it.  He didn't know why.  In the morning after the clay had softened the head was looking down and that's what he wanted.  

I was happy that I read about the different things in history.

This is how they made newspaper.  It was really big.

This was a ship that people would travel on.

This was a bunk bed on the ship.  It wasn't very comfortable.  I don't think I would like to sleep on the bed. 

We watched a movie.  It was about how they built the tabernacle in Utah.

These are the parts that held the roof together.  They used wet raw hide to seal the cracks together.  Those same pieces are still there today.  

This is one one of the wooden nails used to build the roof.  I don't think it would be very easy to nail in wood nails.
It was a really good trip.  I learned a lot about the history of Salt Lake City, UT.
