Hunter's and Little Blue's Adventure

First, Little Blue and I played Skylanders Trap Team. We captured Kaos. Then, we played darts. I scored 100, but he scored 200 every time. The next day on the weekend we went to the movies. We saw Fantastic Beasts. It was so good, but he got a little scared so I calmed him down by giving him candy. The next day we went to the Brookfield Zoo for Cub Scouts. We decorated a tree for Christmas. Little Blue and I ate a donut and we drank apple cider. The animals we saw were monkeys, gorillas, big cats, and reptiles. But then we just noticed that we had to go to my basketball game, so we rushed to the car to rush to the basketball game. We also decorated the Christmas tree at my house. The tree has a lot of ornaments. It has like 1,000!

November Student Challenge

This month's student challenge involves creating illusions. During science, students learned about the reason that the sun and moon appear to be the same size in the sky. Even though the sun is much larger than the moon, it is so much further away from the earth, which makes it appear much smaller than it really is. Students were encouraged to use this concept to create their own illusions. Take a look at their creative photographs below!
