Boy at the Farm

I went to Billings Farm.  We played with tops, Jack’s Ladder, and more.  We learned that butter has to get the buttermilk out (not the butter).  We went into the theater and played with the work things.  Then we played outside with what we wanted.

Genius Hour

I am exploring the Snap Circuits to learn more about electricity. Snap Circuits is a game that has electricity. You will see it. It is fun to do it. In my research, I have found out that big plants make electricity. The electricity is used for TV, toys, lights, clocks, and more.

This Crazy Bush

sawyer-plant1

This bush that is really nice,

With mice and lice.

Leaves flowing in the air,

Landing right beside it,

Telling stories to you,

And having a drink of water.

Towns built in it,

Skyscrapers taller than buildings.

Mushroom homes,

And bakers fill the place.

Blacksmiths pounding in this place.

Cars and trucks pulling,

And cars screaming

And honking at the trucks.  Then stopping cars and trucks.

Suddenly, softly,

Screaming softly,

People, people,

Far off people

Come to this place.

You can go in your imagination that grows in you.

You can make art of outdoors at your home!

 

The Great Adventure

Mr. Desmarais talked about trees.  He said that the red color is in the leaves, but it is hidden under the green.  Green leaves absorb more light than black.  He gave us a tree cookie and a tack.  The tack was for counting the rings.  My slice was in the forties of rings.

There were for lunch squirrel, chicken, squash, corn cakes, and lots of food.

I like the fox because they’re great hunters.  I like its soft fur and its poofing tail.

The water!  The great, cool water!  I learned that it is a home for the invertebrates and the vertebrates, like frogs, bugs, and snakes.

The hike was a nice walk in the open.  I went in a basement in the forest.  There were bottles in it, and bricks.

So much to do in so little time!  Hot cocoa was so good!  Yum!  Yum!  Yummy!  I can’t go without it!  Great day!
