Science Museum

Today we went to the Science Museum. The museum has many things like water, grossology, and egypt. First we went to the climbing wall which had hair, moles, and blisters. I know it sounds gross but it was really cool and I fell three times off the wall.
Next we went to this guy. He talks about many things like colds, and the nose. Time for fun facts brought to you by sam's side! Did you know that your nose makes new snot every 20 minutes!
Well time to move on. Here is a photo of my friend Lei Mei she is riding a bike that can make watts if you pedal fast! I had lots of fun! bye

Book Review

This book is about a family. The husband went to fight for the union. During his absence six rebs entered the cemetery and stayed for a few days. A few days later the rebs came back so did the union and the battle of Gettysburg began. The family was told to go and take the kids. They ran a few miles to a farmhouse. They saw photos of a soldiers kids they stayed for three days. When they came back they dug over 100 graves. In the fall the husband came back. A few weeks later Licoln gave his speech. I LOVED this book thanks Kate. This book is called The Cemetery Keepers Of Gettysburg.
