It was a very good year....

Today was day 180 of our school year. It was officially the end of the year for us. The school year that is..... We celebrated together and had a "pigout" party. Everyone brought in a sharing snack, and we signed t-shirts. Then, we all spent some time discussing what was the best part of our year together. Was it the challenging curriculum, we thought not, although we must admit the Science Fair was AWESOME. Was it the wealth of technology we have in our room? Nope, that wasn't it either, but we did really enjoy using our computers, ELMO, scanners and digital cameras as a tool in our learning/teaching. (And having a class BLOG was quite special we agreed) But, without a doubt, we all agreed it was the wonderful FRIENDSHIPS we had developed. Coming together from across the district this "stellar" group of students had grown to know, love, and care a lot about one another. We are all looking forward to summer fun, but we will always remember and cherish the good times we had together as PAT STARS!!!!

Horses

Hi, My name is Rachel and I have been interested in horses for over a year. I might even get lessons. I have been learning about them and here are a few facts I have learned.
Usually horses are born at night.
Horses can see when they are born.
They can stand one hour of being born.
They can keep up with the herd 24 hours of being born.
A Morgan is a true American horse.
Pinto's are a Indian horse horses have blue eyes.
You would find a snip on a horses muzzle.
Completely moving a mane is called hogging.
The two piebald horses are the black and white horses.
A tail that is cut straight from the bottom is called banged. You use a dandy brush too remove mud and dirt.
You need a New Zealand rug in the winter to keep the horse warm. You need 1 acre for a horse to graze.
A marking that covers most of the horses face is called bald.
A three year old male is called a colt.
These are a few horse facts. I hope you enjoyed reading them.
