The Pilgrims by Makayla, Madisyn, and Brianna

In History we have been leaning about the Pilgrims. They left England and went to the Netherlands for religious freedom. Then they went to America. They were on a ship called the Mayflower and it was a long journey. Some people died on the trip. Before they got off the ship all the men signed the Mayflower Compact. They promised to set up a government and follow the rules of the new government. A Native American named Squanto made friends with the pilgrims and helped them.

Energy by Mike, Byron, and Carlito

We have been learning about energy in Science. Did you know that energy is not created or destroyed? We learned that everything can have potential energy or kinetic energy. Potential energy is energy that is stored. Kinetic Energy is the energy of movement. Our class has a lot of kinetic energy. There are a lot of different kinds of energy. A few examples are sound, heat, light, and electric energy. We also learned an object + force + motion = work. Energy is the ability to do work!
