How Much Water Do You Use?

Hello!
Now that you have had time to record your water usage, please add a comment that has your amounts. Were you surprised by the numbers? Did you have any idea how much water you used? Do you think that you use less than the averages? Why? After reading the cover story in the Time For Kids magazine, do you feel differently about the way you will use water? Explain. I hope that you are having a great vacation,
Mr. Willis

The Ski Program

Hello! I am Zachary in Mr. Willis’ class. Have you noticed that some people had not gone out to recess, but they were getting their snow gear on? Well, they were going to the Ski Program at Cochran’s. I interviewed Emma, Olivia, Laura and Julia about it. To here my interview, click on the link below:

Hurricanes

Hurricane
By: Liam and Logan



In our class we have been tracking down hurricanes. The hurricanes that we have been tracking down are Ike, Hannah, Gustav, Palma Omar and Kyle. We made a color key Gustav is green, Hannah is orange, Ike is blue, Kyle is red, Omar is black and Paloma is purple. We went on http://www.weather.com/ and looked for the latitude and longitude of the hurricanes that we have been tracking down. We have been tracking down hurricanes since the beginning of the year. We would put dots were they went and connect them with marker. We put sticky notes on the U.S.A. to label where countries, states, and cities are located.
