Midnight News

Midnight had a busy week. He went to Disney where he was almost eaten by a dinosaur. Yikes!

He even visited Cinderella's castle. ( Midnight's brother Dusk stood in for some of these pictures)

He Joined the Continental Army and now he is heading off to New Zealand. In New Zealand he will join Allahna King's class. He is very excited about meeting another class full of kids. He is also excited to go to a school where so much is outside. He wants to visit an Island.

Here we are making silly faces and saying goodbye to midnight. Midnight is being held just above Mrs. Sullivan's left shoulder.

Goodbye Midnight. Have fun in New Zealand.

We are also making revolutionary foods like beef jerky, colonial bread and carrots. When we go to the field trip we will leave at 7:15pmWe willget back buy 4:30pm.We get to carry wooden guns.

Midnight Visits the Science Fair

Midnight visited the science fair with a python and an African Python. There was also a scorpion and a tarantula. Midnight saw all of the inventions and experiments that we did. There was Cotton Candy too. Even Mrs. Sullivan held the snake.

Our Famous Reader

One of our classmates is on the cover of a magazine. Yay!! We recognized her because she was reading a Harry Potter book as usual. Nice picture.

The American Revolution Debate

In class we had a debate about the American Revolution. First, we separated into two groups ( the loyalists and the patriots) and had the debate. If you liked what the person said you would say " Aye!". If you didn't like what the you would say "Nay!" or "I Rebut". The Patriots argued that the king was raising our taxes too high. They also didn't like the intolerable acts or the closed port in Boston because they didn't have enough food. The Loyalists argued that people should respect the king and the intolerable acts were the Patriots fault. They caused trouble when they dumped the Tea. We were were going vote but, then we found out that we were already in war. The war started in Concord, but news traveled really slow.
