Equations

A few days ago we went to Cranberry School for equations training and it was a very intricate game. You have to set a goal and try to use cubes to get that goal. Afterwards we ate out and had some ice cream.

The Cricket in Times Square Final Project

We had to make posters on the book we read in class a Cricket in Times Square. Each of us had a character and we had to write a journal entry with the conclusion, main events, and a brief description of other characters in it. We had to have five pictures and souveniers that had to do with events in the story, too. We also had to write two diary entrys, one with the character's feelings in the beginning of the story, and one with the character's feelings at the end of the story. We had to do an over-all background on the big sheet of paper we taped and glued everything onto. It was very fun and I had a lot of fun doing it.

Strawberry Cream Soda Party

4th grade had a party with an experiment with strawberry cream soda. We got the idea from the book A Cricket in Times Square. Some of us said it tasted like cotton candy. It had strawberry syrup, milk, vanilla ice cream, and soda water. We all had a great time.
