Dear blog readers this week at school we did…

We did a craft called New Year’s crackers. How would you make them? Good question this is how: you get a toilet paper roll and tissue paper. You rap the tissue paper around toilet paper roll, to keep it from unrolling you can use clear tape to keep it on or use sticky labels with your resolution on it, and you can tie it with string or pipe cleaners. This very easy to make you can also use it as a goodie bag you just need a bigger toilet paper roll.

We learned about petroglyphs. Petroglyphs are pictures that are drawn on animal hides and rocks. So what we did is we had a piece of paper with symbols on it. You had to think of what the symbols would be from when they used it. We had to make a story with only symbols and no words. I told a story about my birthday party and this Christmas.

In math we read a book called Great Estimations. In the book you had to estimate things like how many strawberries or how many people in a swimming pool and stuff like that. Estimation is a number that you don’t know and you try to guess what it is. Everyone can estimate but a great estimation is when you are really close to the number like 5 over 5 under the number. That book was very good book I recommend it if you want to improve on estimating.

Stay tuned for more with the next blog post.
