My class trip to the Museum of Natural History

Today our class went on trip to the Museum of Natural History. We saw a lot of exhibits about different ancient civilizations. The exhibit that was most interesting to me was the one about the Neanderthals. One thing I noticed was that the Neanderthals bones were cracked. The bones of more modern people are not cracked. An idea I had was about why the bones were cracked. It must have been that they did not have enough nutrients to keep their bones healthy. As civilization developed, people became better at eating healthy foods. This affects me because if I don't get enough nutrients I could get sick and have weak bones.

My class trip to Pratt University

Today, the whole 5th grade went on a trip to Pratt. The purpose of the trip was to learn about how important education is. A woman spoke to us about how important education is. We learned that with a good education you can make a lot of money and live a good lifestyle. We also saw funny videos that college students made. The videos were about how reading makes you have a better education and why you should stay in school. We also saw a funny commercial with President Obama that was about reading. I liked the trip to Pratt.

Cardinals Baseball

I play with the Cardinals. Today I had a double header. We won the first game and lost the second.
I got hit by a pitch, a base hit, and struck out twice. I played catcher, pitcher, center and short stop. I like to pitch, but I am a better catcher.
