Magnets and Magnetism
This diagram from a science journal shows how the force of magnetism goes through cardboard.
Lexi used two magnets to "erase" the whiteboard without touching the magnet on the front.
Jaydon demonstrates a magnets force with an iron washer.
How does Alyssa do that?
Ok, Will, what's keeping those magnets apart?Friday, January 8, 2010
What can you do with cedar bark?
We had a little Christmas vacation contest to see what creative ways students could use the cedar bark that Lexi brought in. We learned that the native Americans of Washington state used cedar bark for lots of things. Miles and Kodi both brought in their creations. Kodi made a Christmas ornament using the cedar bark as the base for the wreath. Miles used 3 small oranges put together snowman fashion with toothpicks and covered them with cedar bark to makehis own Chewbacca. We congratulate both of them for spending some vacation time being creative!Friday, November 13, 2009
Here we are: Celebrating Halloween
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd_rWOxdKHs
This is how you spend a Halloween with your school. We are going to give you the world tour of Waterville.
We are going to tell you about the 4th grade celebrating Halloween.
First we are going to tell you about when we went to Mrs. Nelson’s house..
We went to Mrs., Nelsons house to get pumpkins and have cocoa, apple cider and cookies. The pumpkins we’re small and the cocoa and apple cider we’re hot. There were marshmallows in the hot cocoa. The cookies were awesome and home made. The’re were chocolate chip and sugar cookies! It was really good when you dipped it in the cocoa.
Next we will tell you about when we went trick or treating.
We went through the High school, City Hall, Store, Napa, Checkered table cloth, Blue Rooster, Woodworking shop, Coyote Pass café, Bank, Knemeyers, Thrift shop, Mitchell’s Pharmacy, Kopey’s, Town Library, Dorsey insurance, NCW Maps, Post Office, NCW Bank, Courthouse, and then we went back to the school.
Last we will tell you about our classroom party.
The food we had was apples, pumpkins seeds, deviled eggs, popcorn gloves, brain, ants on a log and candy! For drinks we had water and blood with eyeballs in it. Last there were awesome costumes; there was a death stalker, rockers, dirt biker, skeletons, Cleopatra, witches, hobo, cheerleader, vampire, nerd, fat ladies, and a cowgirl.

We will tell you all about Lewis and Clark when they went on their expedition.
First we will tell you about the Louisiana purchases
Thomas Jefferson bought the land from France for 3 to 4 cent per acre so Thomas Jefferson Could buys more of the United States. They set up trade so they could get money. They could make friends so they could tell them where to go. For example, Sacagawea led them to places and Lewis and Clark met Sacagawea’s family. Lewis and Clark started in St. Louis. And ended in Astoria or fort Clatsop
Now we are going to talk about the people that were on the Lewis and Clark expedition.
Sacagawea led them places for an example they led them to Astoria, Oregon Washington, Idaho, and British Columbia. Sacagawea’s husbands name was Charbonneau. Lewis and Clark met him at the Mandan with the Indians. Sacagawea was a small young girl. Her band lived in what is now called Southeast Idaho. One day her tribe was attacked while they were out hunting for food. During the battle, the young girl was captured .the tribe that took her was the Hidatsa. They were a small band from North Dakota. The young girl was now living as their slave. Within a few years, she became the wife of a fur trader. Charbonneau was from Canada and spoke French. In the month of February they stayed at front Mandan. While
There, Sacagawea gave birth to her first child. He was named jean Baptist. Lewis and Clark Learned that Sacagawea was of one of the Shoshone bands. They hoped that she could help trade for horses and supplies once they reached her tribe. And so, Sacagawea and her husband became interpreters for Lewis and Clark’s crops. Now we are going to tell you about supplies.
Lewis and Clark brought 1 or 2 pars of clothing it was made out of bear skin and buck skin. They had a lot of leather. They had some dentil tools so when somebody needed some thing to help them. Fishing supplies they used spears to catch fish. Doctors used medicine, containers for if someone gets hurt. At the end day if they did well they got to have whisky. They made pots pans then they made food with the pots and pans. They bought tents along with them. They also hade sheets. They hade people that came along with interments. Now would you like to know about the plants that were on the Lewis and Clark Expedition?
They used some special kinds of plants for medicine they also eat some of the plants. The Indians tell them if they are poison or not poison.
Now we are going to tell you about animals.
Some animals that was new to science. That they saw were grizzly bear, prey dogs, beaver, bufflo, and raccoon. They were very interesting to the people and scientist.
Now you know about the Lewis and Clark expedition.
