Earth Day

What can we do to save our Earth ? On April 22 we will be helping to make our world a better place that is Earth Day . We could recycle paper,cardboard and
plastic. We could also be planting new trees to help the enviorment to replace the trees that we cut down . You could also help by walking , like if you live about 10 houses away from the school dont ask for a ride to school instead walk. dont use to much carbon dioxide it is effecting the Ozone Layer. The Ozone Layer protects us from the suns heat . If it wasnt there you would burn if you went outside and all the ice would melt and it would create a flood in the future . Every Earth day remember to do the 3r's. Reuse, Reduce,and Recycle . Remember that the world is important to us because it'sthe only place we have to live and we need to keep it clean. Don't use as much paper , buy reuse paper . In a notebook don't just use the first page use all pages front and back . We need to help our world to make it a better place. Can you think of anymore things to help?

G-K Baseball League

No more drafting if you were on a team last year and are stuck in the same league because coaches are complaining about how they have to restart teaching with the baseball rules and how they want them to pitch and steal. What do you think about re-drafting?
The teams are Blue Jays, Indians, Angels, Red Sox, White Sox, D-Backs, but some of the teams are not in the league anymore. There are some Kirkland teams.
There's T-ball 5-6 year old, Instrucinal 7-8 years old, Minor 9-10 years old, Bronco 11-12 years old, and Pony 13-14 years old. Games start the first week of May. There is a concession stand at the ballparks and there is a park to.

No Homework In May!

During the month of May, there shouldn't be any homework, because it is becoming warm, it is the last moth of school, and there are lots of sports going on in May. Sam, Gianna, Abbey, and I asked Mrs.Schumacher and she said, "homework in math is very important, but we do need a break sometimes, especially when it is warm out." When it is warm out, you wouldn't want to be be stuck inside doing homework, when you could be outside playing with your friends. The last month of school is supposed to be fun. There is a lot of sports that are starting for the summer. What is you opinion? Do you think there should be homework in May or should we not?

Spring Storms

March 21, spring started. beautiful weather, blooming flowers, and also spring storms. These storms are windy, destructive, and harsh. All of the kids have to stay inside and do something else other than being outside. On Easter Monday, it was beautiful during the day time. That was until 4:00 p.m .Later that night I believe we had a micro-burst. A micro burst is a mini tornado that doesn't touch the ground, but causes a lot of damage. The storm was all the way in West Chicago. That's about 45 min away! I think this storm was trying to wake us up, so we know its spring. Do you like storms? Do you watch storms from your windows? What is a microburst?

Our Medieval Reports

We are starting our medieval reports. The last week we have gotten information from books and online research sites. There are many topics to pick from out of our medieval subject sheet, such as Black Death, knights, medicine, hunting, jousting, and even clothing. Or we could pick our own topic that has something to do with the medieval time period. We are learning a lot about our topics that we have chosen. Such as medicine, for toothaches they would mix rose oil, a poeny root, and sulpher, or that Ring Around the Rosie was based off of what happened with the Black Death (Bubonic Plague). We will start our rough draft soon and finish our reports after spring break. What new information did you learn about medieval times?
