Climbing cinquain

Climbing,
Is challenging,
I am stuck,
On the scary wall,
Muscles hurt and feel tired

Strike by Cheng-syun

I see drums.

 I see Mr Richardson.  He plays the cymbal.  He is good.

Winter
Trees are silhouette
Grass has white clothes in morning
I just feel frozen

I like Science now~

We made a rota-copter.  First we blew up a balloon.  Then we drew lines to divide the balloon into quarters.  Next we made small wings out to tape.  We put a cup on the bottom of the balloon and tried to make it rise with the hair dryer.  The balloon turned around and spun.
We were learning about the forces of lift and gravity.
I thought that the experiment was awesome because I like to learn new things.  I like to discover new knowledge by doing experiments and working it out myself.
