Me playing the piano

I liked making little ornaments for our tree.

Our friends came over for lunch.

I liked Bethlehem Star because when you want a break, you can go downstairs in the church and get a snack! 

This is a guy that worked at the place where I got a hammer.  He was second in command.

Sound

Sound is vibrations that bounces against the air.  If a tree falls in space, it won't make a noise because there is no air.  You can break a sound barrier by making a sonic boom.  Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier when he used his jet to go faster than the speed of sound.  If I couldn't hear it would be impossible to hear my friends or listen to music.  I'm glad I can hear!

Bat man's adventure

Mike brought over a kitten and he said that he found it on his lawn.  We brought the kitten over to our house.  We snuck out the side door and brought the cat into our backyard.  We put him on our deck but we didn't let Buddy see the cat.  After when Buddy went outside, he trapped the cat and scratched him on the nose.  That night we brought the cat inside but I was at my Grandma's house so I didn't see that.  The next day, we left him inside.  That night, kitty's owner came because she saw the poster and came to our house.  She told us that his name was Batman.  She Batman home with her.
The End

Alex's exciting week

I like going on walks with my gramma, mommy and brothers and sisters.  It's fun because I can spend time with them.

I like making a store because after I made a mix of cereal and peanut butter.  It was yummy.  My sister Mikayla even liked it.

I like the pork bites that my dad made.  They were so good.

I like to go skating because I went skating two times and I got better on the second time.

Alex's Trip

I lost my tooth and I got $2 and I got some Smarties. Mommy is the tooth fairy because I know they are magical myths.

I love Revelstoke because it has the best hike in the world.  We accidentally went the wrong way but it came out at the same place.

I learned that Devil's Club is poisonous because if you touch it you will get itchy all over.

This is the Last Spike and it's the last place where they built the track so they put the last spike here as a reminder.

I like Denny's because they have the best drinks and French toast with bacon and eggs and banana and syrup.

I like my Zombie Frappuccino because it was fun and good.  We were coming back from Revelstoke and got it.  We saw the dam but are going to go in it in the Spring.

I love this because I'm at my Gramma's new house.  She moved to Vernon a week ago.

Community Class

After school I dressed up like a ninja turtle but with two shells instead of one!

Here I'm going to community class dressed up because we were allowed to dress up as someone who can help you and I dressed up as my dad.

Here I am pretending to work before I go to community class.

Alex's Comic Story

I like making comics because they are fun.  I like to make the pictures and then look at them weeks later and it makes me laugh.  Making comics makes me smile and helps me to write faster and keeps my mind on something when I am bored.

Davison Orchards

I liked going to the apple orchards because it was fun.  It was exciting because I got to feed a goat and go on a train ride to pick apples.  I learned how to pick an apple.  You have to turn the eye to the sky and the apple will pop off.  I picked all Honey Crisp but two Royal Gala.

This Week

I liked building with Keva planks because it is fun!

I made a paper digger this week.  I liked making it because it was fun and the wheels and scoop can actually move.

I liked making this polar bear art because it was fun and it looked really good.  Mikayla made the baby bear template and I got to use it.  Mommy made the big bear template and I used it too.

This Week

I like to explore my community because it is fun and you learn new things.  I like to explore parks, the library, and new stores.  I even like to explore new restaurants.
This week I got to sleep over at my nanny and Bupee's motorhome.  I liked it because I got to watch two movies.  The last unicorn and Avengers of the Universe.  I also got to go to the bike park and go swimming.

Nomads and Read-Aloud

"I like nomads because they used to walk around with their houses.  When they found a good place they would drink water from streams and would hunt lizards and deer and get wild honey and eat all sorts of food. They made bricks out of mud that they shaped into bricks and they put it out in the sun to dry.  They did not have electricity back then and they probably didn't have shoes.  Their clothes was cloths around their body."

"In Edge of Extinction, there was a girl named Sky Mundy and her dad had disappeared about five years ago.  Her friend Shawn found a note form her dad in the back of her dad's compass that was in the secret journal.  She went on a mission and so far she has found her dad but her dad just got killed. A guy named Noah said that nobody could live top side but Sky Mundy lived top side.  Todd and the tree villagers had a tracking device in him and then they had tracked Shawn from the tracking device and they found a secret underwater lab and it got exploded.  Right now, they got to the east compound and they are escaping and Todd's village is not captured anymore.  They are camping out in the east compound.  Their arch nemesis in the story, his name was Kennedy.  He has gotten killed and today we're going to finish the book!"

Dictated to Mom

Easter

I love Easter because God awoke from the dead because he awoke on the third day.  I love it because God is amazing and He kept his promise to the people that He told would wake up on the third day.

Alex's Spider Project

My project about spiders was a success.  

Spiders eat mice, are venomous, have eight legs and lay eggs.

I liked this project so much that I am going to explode.

Science Project

I am learning about Funnel Web Spiders.  I found out that they are the most deadliest spider on planet earth.  They have fangs that they lift up and then drop on their prey.  They inject really bad venom and that's why you never, ever move to Australia.

I am making a spider out of clay and I am really proud that I love the most deadliest spider on earth.

Bible

What is something you like that God created? Why? Something that I like is that God created the winter and the summer and animals.
Why is Jesus special to you?  He is special because He created the heavens and the earth and because He is smart more than anybody in the world.
Who are you praying for?  I am praying for Gigi.
 Why do you think God asks us to pray?  God wants us to pray is because He wants us to pray for the lonely people and the sore and hurt people.
Tell me about someone you helped this term? I have helped Mrs. Pugh by praying for her and making her cards.  I have helped Debbie when she had Lyme Disease.
What are you doing in Awana this year?  I am learning about Joseph.  Joseph was his fathers most specialist child and one day his dad gave him a colourful robe.
How many verses will you try to memorize this year?  I'm going to try and memorize the rest of my Awana book.  

Fine Arts

What is your favorite part of piano/art lessons?   My favourite part is getting new songs.  I like getting new songs because I like playing them.
What has been the most challenging of practicing piano/art? The hardest part of piano is that I always have to work hard.
How does playing the piano, painting or drawing, or listening to music make you feel?  Playing the piano makes me feel good because of the music.

Alex's Adventure of friction and gravity

Friction can make stuff stop moving.    Imagine a car speeding on the road but there are leaves and dirt on the road and it could make the car slow down.  Something that would make the car have less friction is ice.  The car would slide.
Gravity keeps you on the ground and helps you so that you won't flow into the sun.

Alex's Science Pictures

(Photos from Kamloop's Big Little Science Center)

This is me watching and guessing which marble will go the fastest.  I was wrong when I said the straight one because it was the bendy one.  It went faster because it got more speed and it was like Newton's first law.

This is me trying to see which things are attracted to the magnet.  

This is the vacuum tube.  I liked it because when I put the balls in and you shut the door, the air comes in and the balls go so fast through the tubes.  It almost bursts through the plastic!!

Alex's Health

I watched Sid the Science Kid about being healthy.  I learned that to stay healthy I have to exercise, eating healthy foods and brushing my teeth.  You are exercising well when you are sweating and your heart is beating fast.  Whenever I run around the kitchen a lot of times I feel my heart beating fast.  I like running, biking, climbing trees and swimming.  I am best at swimming.
I made a picture of me exercising.

Owls in the Family

Weeps and Wol were my favourite characters in Owls in the Family and I think they were the main characters because the story was about them..  Weeps and Wol are Great Horned owls and when Billy found them they were just chicks.  After Billy had seen them, he kept them in a cage in his front yard but after a long time one of them found out how to get out.  In the book, when one of the boys brought a rattlesnake without teeth or venom to the parade, I thought it was funny because all the people ran away when they saw it.
I would recommend this book because it was funny.

Alex's Water Cycle

This is me showing you my water cycle.  I made it out of Lego and Duplo.  I think it is amazing that the water goes up and then when it gets heavy enough, it rains!
