The Henry Ford Museum

On May 29th, the fifth graders are going to Michigan to visit the Henry Ford Museum! I’m so excited! My teacher, Mrs. Pojman told my class about a couple of cool facts about what is in the museum. Mrs. Pojman told us that  the chair where President Lincoln was assassinated is in the museum, and the car where John F. Kennedy was assassinated. The museum also has a lot of the cars that some presidents took a cruise in. They also have the George Washington Camp Bed. The camp bed was a bed used by George Washington, our first president. Here are some extra exhibits found in the museum: With Liberty & Justice for All, is an exhibit about the proud and painful evolution of American freedom. And Driving America The World’s Premier Automotive Exhibition, a exhibit focusing automotive influence on American Culture. I will hopefully remember to write back to you guys when I get back from the Henry Ford Museum and tell you all about it!

My Strange Sharpie Addiction!

Hi! I’m back to tell you about my very extraterrestrial sharpie addiction. For my birthday I got a large pack of sharpies! I love drawing and coloring with sharpies! Especially when I draw on aluminum foil. I know it sounds weird but it is true. When I draw or design with sharpies on aluminum foil, it makes them look shiny an metallic. But if you do try this, be sure to let your drawing dry before you touch it or it might smear. Plus, aluminum foil can rip very easily when your drawing, so be careful! I hope you can try this at home! Bye!

5th Grade Band

Hi again. Sorry that I haven’t been posting in awhile. So lets cut to the chase, I’m going to tell you about 5th grade band. Personally I think flute is the best, but mostly because that’s the instrument that I play. I started band on October 14, 2014. And my concert is on May 5, or 6. When I first started to play the flute, it was super hard to make a noise out of and to read the notes without writing them in. But don’t quit, if you do you will be missing out on a whole lot. It is fun, and sometimes challenging. I sometimes bring a water bottle with me because my throat gets dry every once in a while. If you practice, almost everyday, playing your instrument is like learning to breathe. Some of you won’t want to do band because you have to wake up earlier, and you have to be at school around 7:15. I get up at 6 o’clock everyday, but it might be different for all of you. In 5th grade band you get to choose between these instruments,  flute, percussion (which is the bells and drum pads), trumpet, trombone, saxophone, or the clarinet. For the flute you have to form the word “to” in your mouth and blow. If you pick to play the flute, don’t stress if you can’t make a sound out of the instrument, it takes practice. It took me about at least 4 or 5 band practices to start to get the right angle and blow the right way. It’s hard, but don’t give up. Comment below what instrument you might want to play in 5th grade.

These people will also be  doing this, Emma, Mallory,Beau,and Sam L.We are making them in the afternon.It’s going to be so fun! The hardet part is folding it the right way.

Story Chain

This is how a story chain works. Somebody writes a part of a story and they cut it of on a good part and the nexy person adds onto it.
