          This week we have done so many things. On Thursday, we had to post-pone our garden project because the weather was cold and wet. We had a social studies test (celebration of knowledge) today. In social studies we learned about how Indians were forced to leave their homes and travel 1,000 miles, today it is known as the Trail of Tears. In gym, we are learning how to play basketball. We have been learning rules, playing certain games, and how to play. 
         One of the most important things we have done this week is our hot wheels lab. We are learning about forces, Newton's Laws of Motion, and how height effects the distance a car goes down a inclined ramp. We stacked books up, put the ramp on top, and the car on the ramp. We measured how far the car went and recorded our data. Our final lab report was typed up with a cover page, problem, hypothesis, data table, and conclusion.  We had tons of fun with this.
