Our Science Fair

Did you go to the Science Fair last night? I did and I loved it. I saw things that involve radios I even saw faces of the moon and also I saw something where you just flick the two switches and the lamps and light bulbs light up, and there was one on rockets and dinosaurs, and lots of others. I got my first ribbon and it was cool and my mom liked it very much. there was lots of projects not every body in the school did one but I think everybody should because I learned a lot on that project and I think every body should learn something from the science fair.

Queen of the day

Have you ever been Queen for a Day? A radio station, Warm 106.9, had a contest for which secretary was the best, and our secretary(Joyce)won. She got to go to a spa and have lunch. She also got gift certificates because she won. Our school did something special for Joyce. We set red wrapping paper across the floor for her to walk on. We also crowned her queen of the day. Everyone in the whole school came to the outside of the office and when Joyce came we bowed down to her and said "Hail Queen Joyce, hail Queen Joyce". It was quite funny. We also gave her flowers. She also had a walking stick but it was only a ruler. We watched her as she drove away to the spa. It was cool that our secretary actually won the contest. We think she is SUPER!

Today we talked about how not to pollute the environment, because it is Earth Day and here are some reasons:1. walk or ride your bike insted of riding in a car or if it is far away carpool with someone you know or ride a bus,2. wash your car at a carwash,3. buy or use rags instead of napkins. Have you heard of the artic wildlife refuge? Well if you have you should vote to protect the artic because people are going to drill everywhere and pollute the artic and ruin the environment.These are just a few things you can do to protect our world.

Yellow Park ( aka Fred Hocker Park)

Hi! I was just thinking about todays outing to yellow park. We went and had lunch there. Then we finished and played for a while. My favorite part was the bars. I also liked it Nick's dad pushed us on the merry-go-round. Mrs.Rich's class came to. I liked hanging upside down. On the way back we played follow the leader. We went around a tree, through a gate, over a chain link fence, through another gate, around a few trees, down the sidewalk, back to school, into the teacher's lounge, and back to the classroom. Well thats what happened there. I hope you get to go to. It's fun!

Jamestown S' Klallam Indian Tribe

On April 1st,Liam's mom came and talked about the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe. Her dad's dad was 100% S'Klallam, which made her dad half Indian, which made her 4th Indian, which makes Liam one 8th Indian. Their tribe is located on the Olympic Peninsula near Jamestown. Way back in 1789 there were 3,000 Indians in the tribe, but then a ship came into the harbor at Jamestown with a lot of people with the Smallpox disease. After that ship came, alot of Indians died. There were then, in 1862,1,300 Indians. In 1855 the Point no Point treaty was signed forcing them to give up their land to white settlers. They made the Indians go to reservations.In Port Angeles or on the Hood Canal, but if the tribe didn't want to live on a reservation the government was giving a little money to the tribe so they could live on their own but not in the white peoples way. The land they got to live on was dry and like a plain so the Indians couldn't hunt or grow crops. We think it's amazing their tribe never lived on a reservation. In 1981 they started a service for the elders of their tribe with some of the money from the government. The elders got to go first every time the tribe did something like ate a meal. If there was no more cake left for the other people, too bad. Liam's mom also brought things in to show us. She brought in a mini model ofa canoe, she said that canoes where almost always made out of cedar because it was stronger than any other wood. She also brought in baskets, also made of cedar. The way they make baskets is they use a tool and strip the bark of the tree with it. Then they soak the bark about 4 times, and then it's soft enough to woven into baskets. They make the baskets colored by taking some berries and smash them so the juice of the berries comes out then they soak the Cedar in the juice then they weave the baskets. She also brought a medicine bag. You're never supposed to look in a medicine or it will bring you bad luck. She also brought in a lot of beadwork. She brought in a necklace and a pair of earrings. We think it would havebeen hard to make one of those necklaces because the beads were so tiny! Well we told what we know, and you still want to know more! Well why don't you visit their website or visit where they sell a lot of Indian things in Jamestown on the Olympic Peninsula.
