This summer I hope that I make All-Stars. All-Stars is for baseball and if you are good enough then you will get to play for All-Stars. There is a 9-10 All-Stars and an 11-12 All-Stars. Last year I made All-Stars but I was only 8 so I couldn't play. I can't wait to figure out what you do in All-Stars but I know that you get to travel and play teams off island. I just hope that I don't miss any of my camps because I have already signed up for three or four. If I make All-Stars then I hope that I get to play first base a lot more. Since Auburn is on the team I usually play third base unless she is not at the game then first base is mine for the whole game. But sometimes it is the other way around and I am on first base. But once in a while I will pitch for a little bit. To make a long story short I can play anywhere.

Use the words thunderstorm, tornado and cheesecake in a story.

One day I was sitting on my porch when a thunder storm was coming to my house. Then I looked really hard and there was a tornado. I went into my house and grabbed a cheesecake. So then I ran back out on to my porch and said, "Here twinkee man." Then he didn't want it so I said, "You ripoff." Then I grabbed a whole roll of twinkees and said, "Here twinkee twinkee you want some twinkees."I threw them at the tornado's head and the storm didn't quite stop until I threw my sister In there.

Homework: Home Connection 39

Yesterday and today we learned about circuits by lighting a bulb with a battery or two. Ask your child how to make a light turn on, how to make it brighter, or how to make more than one bulb light! Very cool science!

What did you learn from trying to light the bulb yesterday?

I learned that the more d-cells you have the brighter the light bulb is. You need a d-cell to power the circuit. The positive charge had to touch the metal and the negitive charge touchs the gray ball and the light bulb lights up. If the negative and positive both touch the gray ball on light bulb does not light up. There needs to be be a full circuit for it to work. You will need these things to make the bulb light up. You will need one wire, one d-cell and one light bulb. Put the wire on one side of the d-cell and wrap it around the metal on the bulb then put the gray ball on the other side of the d-cell and it lights up.

Field Trip!

ELF Field Trip

May 25, 2010


Dear Families;

Bill and Char would like to take us on a field trip to investigate streams and ponds at Niquette Bay Park on Tuesday, June 1.

We will leave school around 10:30 and return around 1:30. We will bring picnic lunches and eat at the park. Kids should bring lunches or order a bag lunch from the Abby.

We do need a few more drivers. If you can join us and drive a few kids, we would really appreciate it. Bill, Char, and a few of their relatives/friends have agreed to transport kids and a few can ride with me, but it would be great to have more drivers/chaperones.

It should be a lot of fun. We were thinking of June 8 as a rain date, in case of poor weather. Please let me know if you can join us!

Thanks!
Tracy Pearson
