There is also a space for anyone to go answer our ongoing ecosystems questions on our wiki.  This will not be the only time that you have the opportunity to do a project like this so it is important that we look back and think about what worked and what didn't.  Keep in mind that there were two parts to this project, your ecosystems project you did in Mr. Lewis' room, and the tree story that you started with Mr. Lewis, but worked on and published with Ms. Trumbull.  Please answer the following questions in complete sentences:

1.  What did you make? (give details please)
2. What is the part of the project that you are most proud of sharing with your parents or Ms. Lea or Ms. Baldivia?
3. What is the part of the project you would do differently if you were given the chance?
4. If you were the teacher, how would you have planned this project differently?
5. What part of your project demonstrates that you are a scientist?

skiing!

This weekend I went skiing in Loveland with my cousin, my uncle, my parents, and my brother. At first we only skied on green runs. Then, we ate lunch we had turkey sandwitches , soda, and cookies.After that, we went on a blue run. It was so fun! First there was a steep part. Then, we went into the trees. Next, we went on a big jump. Finally, back to the ski lift. We did that run over and over again until the last run. We were the very last people to ski on that mountain. It was so fun!

Alice in Wonderland

In the book Alice in Wonderland, I think that Alice will be a good friend because she is a good friend to all people. And if she were real and I saw her and Iwanted to be friends with her she would be nice and would not make a choice to be bad. For example in the story she was smart and was nice to everyone. so I think that she would be smart enough to be friends with me.
