Poetry Memorization
Sep 12)
Whatever the game and whatever the odds,
The winning is all up to you.
For it isn’t the score and it isn’t the prize
That counts when the playing is through.
(Sep 19)
In the great game of life it’s the purpose to win
And the courage to fight to the end,
That determines for you what degree of success
Will be scored to your credit, my friend.
Shuffle Dance
How did you do last week? Were you able to catch on? This week, take it up a notch! FASTER!!!!
Shuffle: We’re going to learn to shuffle dance this year! It’s so fun! Here’s a video you can watch so you know what it is:

It may look hard but here are some tips to be successful:
- We’ll learn ONE step at a time. One step each month.
- Go slow. Slooow. I mean reeeeeeally sloooooow when you are learning.
- Repeat the step a million times over. While you’re waiting for the microwave to ding, while you’re waiting in line at the store, anytime you’re standing around.
- Once you know the step perfectly, you can speed it up a little at a time.
We’ll practice in class each week 🙂 Here’s the first step:

Inventors
This week we are studying inventors that changed the world! Watch this video about American Inventors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYDJ3lDrfyY
Inventions of the future
My friend’s little boy was crying inconsolably and when his mom asked him what was wrong, he said, “Everything will already be invented by the time I grow up! There won’t be anything left for me to invent.” Ha! That’s not true! There is no end to what humankind can dream up! Can you make a list of 5 things that you imagine will be invented in the future. For example I think a robot will cook for us! We will order off a menu and voila! Dinner is served 🙂
Samuel Morse
Something to do: Take a flashlight in a dark room and try to spell out a word using morse code. The dots are fast and the dashes are a little longer. Go slow!!! See if your family can guess which word you are spelling. You might have to turn on the light in between letters so they can refer to the morse code list.
Orville and Wilbur Wright
Watch this hilarious video! I’m dying of laughter! My goodness, how far flight has come!
Watch this video to learn about the Wright Brothers
Something to do: Make a paper airplane! There are a zillion YouTube Videos online that will show you how. Bring your plane to class and we’ll have a contest of whose flies the farthest, does loops, and any other special characteristics. Did you know that the same principles that allow planes to fly are the same whether your plane is made out of paper or steel! It’s all about weight, lift, thrust, drag.
Steam Engine
There were so many people who contributed to steam engines working that it’s hard to credit just one person. The power of steam! Of course steam engines have been replaced by diesel engines and now even faster engines exist with the power of magnets. But, there is an old working steam engine that goes from Silverton, Colorado to Durango, Colorado. I totally want to ride!
Alexander Fleming
Something to do: Think about the dirty surfaces in your house. Which one do you think has the most germs? Next week I’ll give you a petri dish, you can swab the surface and grow bacteria. We’ll let them sit for a whole week, bring them to class and see who grew the grossest germs and where they came from!
Nikola Tesla
Project to do
This link, (CLICK HERE) is to a document of inventors. Choose one that seems most interesting to you. Maybe none of these are interesting to you. In that case, you are welcome to research any inventor. There are so many amazing inventions! Maybe a more modern one would be fun! Who invented the internet? The computer?
Do some research and think of a fun and interesting way to teach us about it. Be prepared to present to us what you learned.
Finish Reading!
Finish reading Frindle! We’ll have our book party in class 🙂
