Our Trip to the Science Museum

Today we went to the Museum of Life and Science. We saw lots of things. We saw a spaceship, animals, fossils and dinosaurs, butterflies and huge insects, we made a tornado and felt clouds. My favorite part was watching the wolves. There were 2 and they were so beautiful. Post about your favorite part of the museum.

Spring Break Week

Spring Break begins on Friday April 29th.  As we look around Durham we can see lots of signs that Spring is trying to appear.  It is cold for this time of the year but flowers are starting to bloom and trees have buds on them.  My favorite part of Spring is listening to the birds come back.  My dog Seamus loves to bark and chase them.  Tell me about your favorite thing about Spring.

American Symbols

This week we are reading about the symbols of America.  We have read about our flag, the Statue of Liberty, the Bald Eagle, the Liberty Bell, and Mount Rushmore.  When I went to Washington DC I saw many other symbols like the White House, the Washington Monument, and the Capital Building.  These symbols stand for things that are important to our country.  Tell me about a symbol we learned about and why you think it is important.

Changes in the Seasons

This week we are looking at how the seasons change and what causes the seasons to change.  We looked at how the Earth moves around the sun and how parts of the Earth get more sun and it is summer, and less sun when it is winter.  Then the Earth moves and it changes.  Please post about your favorite season and the things you like to do during that season.
