Ariana: My report was about Bactrain Camels. They are unique because they have two humps.

3rd grade field trip to Penn College (Pictures Coming Soon!!!)
We learned about plastics and how you use molds. When you light a candlestick it turns the plastic into a liquid which you can form into any shape. -Erick
Ariana said, "We went into a place where they could cut medal. There was a man named Mr. Good he used robots to cut the medal faster.
We all got a medal coin to take home. It was made by using a big and long rod of medal that was put into a machine and then it popped out little circles. Then we walked to another machine that drew Mickey Mouse on it. - I'Janay
Janna explained that the cake display explained that you need to wear special gloves and hats as part of your uniform to be a pastry chef. "They also let us try some yummy cake!"
We went to the collision and repair section. We learned that when you paint cars, you have to wear a special suit. - Mason

Thank goodness we had a sheet to check for spelling, and ideas! :)
"They are funny," yelled Mr. Michaels from the hall.
Concrete Poems are about the picture your words are written in. We created one today in the shape of a sun. - Hayley

Sound through vibration
Damien playing the "Kalimba"
Playing the "Xylophone"
"The little/short stick was higher pitch because it takes a shorter amount of time for the vibrations to move through it." -Erick
Playing the "String Beam"
"When you pluck the string beam you can make a low sound or a high sound depending on how long the string is." -Lily
I'Janay and Janna playing the "Kalimba"
"Has a weird sound????? The movement through the vibration makes it weird." -Janna
"It looks weird!"- I'Janay
Emily playing the "string beam"
"The lowest pitch happens when the cup is on the short side. When you pluck it, the vibration takes a long time to get to the end. So, it creates a low pitch." -Emily
