Rainbow poem


Click on rainbow poem to see our brain storm: 


I am red, as red as lightning bolts flashing across the evening sky.
I am orange, as orange as a kitten purring for her mother.
I am yellow, as yellow as a shimmering sunset over the ocean.
I am green, as green as a school kid listening to his mother's long lecture.
I am blue, as blue as a kid sitting in the corner watching his best friend playing without him.

I am purple, as purple as a supporter watching his favorite team score the winning goal.

This week my reading group has been learning about the Parapara tree. It is a tree witch produces sticky sap. Birds sit on it and get stuck and die because they can not get free.

Notetaking bees

                    NOTETAKING BEES:

We have been learning about notetaking: Our first attempt was when Daniels dad came to talk about bees here are some of my notes.
  • 3000-7000 bees in a hive.
  • can't move hive often.
  • to keep good temp they huddle together.
  • they lay eggs in honey combs.
  • Stores pollen on back legs.
 Daniels dad gave us honey & we ate it with bread. It was yum,
