Five Slime For Fun Time  

     By: Susanna H. and Wendy D.

1. Glue
2. Red paint
3. Borax
4. Shaving cream
5. Spoon   
6. Bowl
7. Lotion
8. Model Magic

The slime that we made was an  apple butter slime and this slime
had a creaming butter texture. The texture was great, but the glitter
at first felt blob like at first.   Keep kneading the slime as much as
you can. Imagine you are biting a big apple. Crunch ! The shaving
cream made the pokes sound soothing while we were playing with
the slime. Also a HUGE warning: Make sure to not let young siblings
EAT the slime .

The Flu

By: Blake and Olie

Have you ever heard of the flu or maybe even had it? If not, you should let us tell you
what it is and how to prevent it. The flu can happen in many different ways and can
affect people differently.  During flu season almost everybody knows someone who's
been affected by the flu. About 49,000,000 (forty-nine million) people in the U.S. get
sick with the flu in one year. You can get the flu any time of the year but you have to be
really careful during flu season. Influenza (also known as the flu)  is one the WORST
things to be sick with so here here are some tips and notes to help you prevent it or to
know if you have it.

How do I know if I have the flu?

• Fever or feeling feverish (not everyone with flu may have fever)
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Muscle or body aches
• Headaches
• Fatigue ( tiredness/glazed eyes)
• Vomiting
• Chills

    Since no one wants to get the flu, here are some tools to help you prevent it:

• LOTS of hand-sanitizer
• Clorox wipes
• Disinfectant spray
• Tissues
• Mask
• Latex Gloves (to help you not touch your face if your really sick)

How to Stay Healthy in the Classroom

Look around your classroom and see if you see hand-sanitizer if you do that's great, if not
ask your teacher to ask kids to help buy stuff or buy some yourself. Use Clorox wipes
down your desk and after you blow your nose. Make sure to sneeze into your elbow
and NOT your hands. This is one of the hardest things to not do, but try not to touch
your face, because your hands have lots of germs on them and if you touch your face
then you could become sick. Use the Clorox wipes to wipe down door handles too. Many
people touch and use the door handles so there are lots and lots of germs on them. If you
would like you can wear a mask over your mouth and nose. If your school has Chromebooks
or iPads wipe them down with Clorox wipes before you use them. Make sure you wring out
the Clorox wipe before you use it on the Chromebook or iPad because you don’t want to get
the devices to wet and they may not function  right. Wash your hands right after you eat,
cough, or sneeze.

Orcas

By Makenna S. & Emily M.

Have you ever seen an Orca?  Less than half of the
5th grade has seen one.  So, that's why Emily and I
are deciding to talk about Orcas.  

To begin, Orcas have many ways to communicate,
such as using their blowhole. In addition, Orcas are
very strong and energetic and that's one of the
reasons why they are called killer whales. Killer
whales can feed on seabirds, squid, octopuses, sea turtles,
sharks, rays and fish. They have other names such as
the Killer Whale, Resident, Transient, and offshore. In
addition, the killer whales are not a threat to humans.
They are powerful predators capable of killing leopard seals
and Great White Sharks. They have also been recorded to prey
on  terrestrial species such as moose swimming between islands.
There are two or more types of Killer Whales. First, there are  
Resident Orcas. In fact, Transient Orcas jump up and eat their
prey as soon  they land in the water. When Killer Whales hunt
down animals they use their massive teeth. Which grow up to
4in long. Orcas are the largest type of dolphin, and definitely
one of the most powerful predators ever.  One day, we hope to
see one. .
