If Jack H. is a very important part of a family, why is he so often thrown around?

Greek Goldberg

Today we learned about Greek mythology and even made our own versions of greek myths.We got to make paintings inspired by Georgia O'Keefe's artwork.We learned more about Rube Goldberg and how he loved to make comics that show how Americans make things more challenging than they need to be.

The myths we learned were the ones of Pandora's Box, Arachne and Athena. We also learned of the history of greek mythology and different cultures.Many myths date back to 40,000 bc and are still around today.

Rube Golberg was well know for his comics and "inventions". He would show how to be sure you remember to mail your wife's letter (shown above) and many , many more.

We learned these things from www.rubegoldberg.com

Today we learned about Rube Goldberg, the cartoonist, and his inventions(cartoons). We also made our own Rube Goldberg inventions and figured out how to make a"Better mouse trap." He makes simple things become so complicated.He made a character called Professor Butts.For example, he needs to do a simple task to remember to mail a letter. But he makes it complicated and makes a whatcha-ma-callit that reminds him to mail the letter.

bridge to technology

So last Thursday, we showed our principal,Ms Phillips how to do photostory. Photostory is a program that lets you make slide shows using photos, images, cool fonts, narrate, and add special effects. We made ours about bridges suspensions,beams and archs it was loads of fun.! And we got our parts for the musical too! Ms Phillips didnt even write anything down cause she was learning. We can compose music on photstory which is my favorite part. We also made some suspension bridges out of of books and strings and paper. You would not believe how many books they were able to hold. Our record was about 35 books, a bunch of army figurines, and cubes. It was awesome!!!!!!!Ally
