I got contacts!

by Allison

I got contacts on Friday 4/17/15! I went to eye doctor because I couldn’t see anything. After I got new prescription my eye doctor and my mom talked about contacts. My mom asked a few questions and I ended up getting contacts that day.

They started training me by: Telling me to wash my hands before putting in or taking out contacts. She also told me that if she felt and if I felt I could handle them I took them home. After washing my hands my eye doctor grabbed some contacts (my prescription) and put them in my eye, it felt weird. After, my eye doctor put in my contacts she called another eye doctor to show me how to take them off. After, she showed me how to take them off. I tried taking them them off, seemed easy to me. Then she showed me how to put them on. That took me tons of tries.

Tangle Teezer

By: Ally

There is a new brush that was created by a beauty guru! This brush is meant for curly hair. There is a smaller brush meant for loose curls and a bigger brush meant for tight curls. The reason the brush does not pull your hair is because the bristles are aimed a certain way that prevents it from yanking your hair. The inventor of this brush is: Shawn P. The brushes name is “Tangle Teezer” Here is an image of both brushes:

Guppies

by Allie

I just got a Guppy on Monday! Guppies are fish that have big tails and eyes are on their sides. Guppies are freshwater fish. That means they need a filter for freshwater, not saltwater. A filter filters the water so that the fish can live in it and reduces the chances of the fish dying.  Female Guppies are bigger than the males. I recommend getting a book about how to care for fish before getting one. You never know if the person who helps you with the fish forgets to mention something. My person forgot to tell us something! The person did not tell us that we need an air pump and sadly, most of my fish died ;(. My Dad promised me that I would get more fish.

Cinderella Movie

By Allison

I saw the Cinderella Movie last Sunday!! It was great, I also saw Frozen Fever! Frozen fever was great! The song was great because it had a little “Let It Go” in it. It was similar to the deleted song “Life’s Too Short”. That song was originally suppose to be “For The First Time In Forever Reprise”. What I mean by that it was suppose to be the song for the scene when Anna gets shot with ice in her heart by Elsa. Frozen Fever was not a sequel to Frozen it was a short film based off from the movie. Disney has announced there will be a second frozen coming in the summer.

Construction Kids

By: Allison

Construction Kids this year taught the 5th graders about building. For example, we learned to use a hammer and we built something like a pinball machine but with a marble. It was easier than what I thought it would be to make it. The materials we needed were: Wood, Nails, Marker, Marble, and a Hammer. All we really needed to do is mark the path on where we wanted the marble to go, then place the wood down, place a nail over it, and hammer the nail down until we thought it was hammered enough.
