Books

 In Reading I have been reading these two books. Both are really good.

.

 Tuck Everlasting is about a family of four people. They were walking in a forest, they found a spring and decided to drink out of it. What they didn't know was this spring was magical  and will make them live forever. It is such a great book. 

War With Grandpa is about a boy named Pete. His grandpa comes to live with him, and he has to give up his room. Pete has to have his room up in the attic because his grandpa can't walk upstairs. So Pete gets mad, and decides to go to war with him for taking his room. It is a very funny book, and it is very good.

You should read both of these books.

We do the states in regions. In this region the states are Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. 

In this region the states are Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska.

In this region the states are Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Florida

cold blooded and warm blooded

 

You can't read this worksheet, but this is what my paper was about.....

reptiles are cold blooded

mammals are warm blooded

cold blooded means that the body temperature changes with the outside temperature.

Warm blooded means the body temperature stays the same.

I am warm blooded.

An Old Fashioned girl

I am reading a book called An Old Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott. My wonderful Grandma told me to read it. I LOVE it so far. It is about a girl named Polly, who lives in the country. She goes and spends the winter with her cousin Fanny in Paris.  Fanny is all about the latest fashions, and Polly teaches her to be not so fancy and how to be a kid again.

 

Here is a picture of the cover. You should read this book.
 (it is free on Kindle)

Home made butter!

 

We are making butter in these pictures.  We put whipping cream in a jar. Then we shook the jar for a while.  It turned into butter! We ate bread and butter for lunch.  Then we had pancakes with the buttermilk that was left over from the butter.

It  was  good!
