The American Flag

I think Betsy Ross made the American Flag because, General George Washington, Robert Morris and Colonel Ross talked to Betsy Ross at her Upholstery shop. Also because William Canby talked about his grandmother and her story. Betsy Ross can make a five pointed star with only one snip of her scissors. Betsy also made flags before that is why I think Betsy Ross Made the American Flag.

Colonial Life

My job in the colonial days was a colonial potter. We made bowls, mugs and, jugs. making the pots required clay. Us potters often use the same clay as a brick maker. We clean the clay and added sand to temper it and to make it stronger. The potters sit the clay down for a time to age. When they are ready to “throw” the pots, the potters would work the clay to get any air bubbles out. Potters would press the wheels foot to make it spin. We use our thumbs to make a hollow in the middle of the clay. Potters use molds to make spouts, handles, buttons and, pipes. Each pot had to dry before firing it in the kiln. A kiln is a furnace for firing pottery. When the piece was baked it had to dry slowly so it does not crack. That’s how I woprk at my job.

Jamestown or Plymouth

I want to be in Plymouth because the people were seeking freedom to worship not a British monarch. I like Plymouth because they found Boston and began settlements nearby in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. Now that is why I like Plymouth.

My 4th grade math year

What I learned in 4th grade math is, how to simplify fractions, how do algebra, how to use protractors, and how to buget your money. my least favorite thing to do in math is, algebra. My most favorite thing to do in math is, multiplication. My weakness in math is, experienes. My strength in math is multiplication. What I want to learn more in 5th grade math is, experienes, simplifying fractions, and algebra.

So Long 4th Grade

The most important thing I learned was simplifying factions. My favorite project was when we made a light bulb light up. I was most surprised by using M&Ms to review math. The thing I dislike most was no  recess because all the rain.
