Long Division

We learned about long division. Long division is just like multiplication. In division you put the biggest number in the house and the smallest number outside the house. When we solve a division problem we use “Does McDonalds  Sell Cheese Burgers?” (Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Check and Bring Down.)

HI, my name is Serrina.

I was wondering if you heard about our photography club at Shepherdsville elementary?

 Well if not then I’m going to tell you about it and the people who signed up for it. Anyway it started yesterday and we all learned how to put an 800 dollar camera together. After all that was finished we all asked if we could take pictures and she said yes. We all said yay! Then we all went outside to our playground then we all took pictures.

                      Yarn

Our names are Madison and Kyra.

We had a competition with a third grade class, Mrs. Conder’s class. Their class had 100 rolls of yarn and we had 50 rolls of yarn. It was a hard thing to do because some people didn’t have yarn. Two days later Mrs. Conder’s class had 200 rolls of yarn. Our class had 100 rolls of yarn.

Later on that week our teacher Mrs. Stump said that we had had to bring In 5 rolls of yarn so we could get a full dress down day. Everyone was getting so excited that they got a dress down day. Five days   later Mrs. Conder’s class won.

Santa Shop

Hi! I am Keaghan and this is Madison.

  Since it is so close to Christmas our school is having a special shop! This shop only happens one time a year! This shop is called Santa Shop. In Santa Shop you can buy great presents for your friends and family.

  This is how Santa Shop works .First your teacher signs up so students can look at the wonderful presents in Santa Shop. Then a day or two later you go and shop for the presents you want to get for your family. After you pay you get little bags that you put the presents in and when they are in the baggies you can put them under your Christmas tree.

   There are many different toys and presents at Santa Shop. Keaghan really likes the Christmas ornaments. Madison really likes all the UK things in Santa Shop. There are many family presents .Such as grandma coffee cups, dad ornaments, mom mouse pads, batons, purses, rings, and hair bands.

   Now that you know what a Santa shop is maybe you can have one at your school! Me and Madison think that Santa shops are very, cool! Santa Shop is a good way to get presents for your family and friends. They will appreciate it!!

Our Awesome Field Trip - Mammoth Cave!

Hi, our names are Madison, Kyra

 Have you ever been in a cave? Well, our  4^th grade students went to  Mammoth Cave for a field trip. It was a really long walk inside the cave.  We walked over  2 miles! The  whole  cave is actually 400 miles long. 

Inside the cave, we saw where people had carved their names on the rocks. You aren’t allowed to do this anymore.  Mammoth cave is the longest cave ever. According to our tour guide, the cave is 250 million years old.  The person who discovered the cave was Henry Branford. Stephen Bishop also explored the cave and was one of the greatest explorers ever.

The Mammoth Cave was made out of Limestone. Limestone is one of the most common types of rock in Kentucky. Mammoth Cave is also made out of Bedrock. Bedrock is a rock that is a solid rock under the looser materials of earth’s surface.

 While we were in the cave, I (Madison) was thinking about the slave working in the cave that the tour guide described.  I know it would be hard work! My partner Kyra was wondering who all discovered the many parts of the cave and who will be next to find more of the cave.   We both thought about how hard all of the people who discovered the cave were working.  Here are some pictures of the cave for you to enjoy!
