Mealworms

By: Jack D.

Tuesday, October 21st, we got mealworms. We named our mealworms, we played with them, we fed them, and we measured them. We learned that in the adult stage, they will turn into beetles.

We all got two of our own until they turn into beetles. We are waiting for them to turn into their next stage, the pupa stage. We are feeding them bran flakes and apples. I think this is the best science experiment!

Waves

By: Paul D.

We were starting our science project. “Class, we are going to do a science project, whenever you’re quiet” Ms. Iten said. We all got quiet. “Now class, we’re learning about waves,” she said. Hooorrryyy! We all cheered.

We learned that waves aren’t just made of water; we learned that light and sound travel in waves. Ms. Iten got a can and we saw how sound waves travel. We also learned that waves have troughs and crests. We demonstrated it by using a parachute. We tried to keep DOG and two ghosts on the parachute. We also used forks, an oven rack and rocks to hear sound waves travel. It was sooo much fun!!!

The Good-Bye Article

By: Brooke H.

I am moving to Pensacola, Florida. I am really upset and sad. I don’t want to leave all my friends. I have a really nice class.

When I move to Florida I’m going to Saint Paul School. St. Pius is awesome and I don’t want to leave everyone. I’m coming home soon if we don’t like it.

My last day is October 31st. I’m going to miss everyone!

Rosaries

By: Lauren B.

On Wednesday the 15th, we made rosaries in Religion. We took dental floss and beaded on a cross and some beads. A few of us were walking to show Ms. Iten and we dropped our beads, but it was fine.

On Friday the 17th, we prayed the Rosary. Ms. Iten picked the Joyful Mysteries. It was real peaceful and everyone’s rosary looked wonderful. Everyone enjoyed it.

The Table Experiment

By: Jacob S.

On October the eighth, Ms. Iten needed three kids to help her lift a table on top of another upside down table. But before she could do that, she put balloon bags under the table. Then she asked, “How can we lift up the table without touching it?”

We gave her some suggestions. One was to lift up the table by the bags. The other was to blow into the bags to create enough pressure to lift the table.

We tried to lift the table by the bags, it worked! We set the table back down. Then we tried to blow into the bags, it didn’t work. Then we picked the table back up and Ms. Iten tied the bags together. Then we blew into the bags again, it worked! I really liked this experiment.
