Reflective Raptors

i woke up one morning and saw my pool but it was yellow and looked smaller. So I ran down the stairs and said “hey mom I am going to go outside”. When i went outside i got my roller skates and tried to jump over the yellow small pool. after i jumped and was in the air i lost balance hit the other side of the pool . Then i fell in i swam so fast i got out of the pool next thing i now I am in the hospital my was there and she said “What happened” Nothing.

I cannot publish your posts if you do not capitalize “I”.  Also your last section should read:

Then I fell in! I swam so fast. I got out of the pool. Next thing I know I am in the hospital. My (mom?) was there and she said, “What happened?”

“Nothing.” I replied.

When we went to the Oxford Museum we learned lots of new things but my favorite thing was learning about the old bank. The bank had two different volts one volt was for papers and vaulbuls. The other volt was for monye. The volt walls were 18 inches thick there was a amare so lould that you could here a mile away. There was a pieano that you had to hold down a peld to make it play. Also in the olden days in the winter they had to go to the bathroom in a pot and in the morning someone had to take the pot and dump it out in the sreet. 

the oxford museum  had a washing table that you had to stand and crank the handle every time you wanted to do the laundry. there  also was a  radio that you had to  get it started by cranking the handle and if you wanted to change the radio you told someone and they would go and change it. we fond out that in the state of oxford it was made of gravel.another cool thing was that barbers were dentist so if you to get your teeth cheeked the barber would have to do it. at dinner they would have a little glass square and they would put in salt and if you wanted salt you would have to pinch the salt and sprinkle little bits of salt. they also had a piano that you had to pump the air with your foot on a little  air pump to play the piano. they also had a record player so if your wanted to  play music your would have to crank the handle. And If you wanted to change the song you walked up and took the cd out and put in a new song.

Wow you got one of the best teachers ever for 4th grade! Mrs. Hay dose so many fun things you are so lucky to have her.  Mrs. Hay also sometimes brings her dog Figgie. You are going to lover Mrs. Hay some other things that she dose is she loves doing crafts so she will be doing a lot of crafts with you all. Mrs. hay makes every thing fun. She also plays a game where you can win a party. Mrs. Hay also dose something called lightning rod test. In the amount of two minutes you have to complete 45 questions of multiplication. You can pass tests if you pass 0-12 you get to start at a lower time you get a lighting bolt and once you do all the times, you now have to do division. I hope you will love Mrs. Hay as much as  did.

On our field trip to the oxford museum I learned that to play a piano you had to pump air into it to play it. And if you stop pumping  air into it the piano with slowly  stop and then not work until you pump more air. Also back in the day girls when they brush there hair they would not throw away the hair they had this little thing that the would stuff the hair in, And then make it into a work of art. They took each strand of hair and wrapped it on  a piece of wire  and would make it into something. For example one was made into flowers. Another interesting thing is that when you were sad and but your tears into a little jar when someone you love passed. Once the tars would dry then every thing would go back to normal and you would start going back to normal in life. There were so many cool things and one of my favorites was seeing the photo of Where Meijer sits now. because it was so cool to see how much we have changed. and it was also so cool that that they would make concrete trucks and the big trucks before they even had roads. and it would take one day to come from Rochester to oxford.  and dentist were called barbers. Also when they said a pinch of salt they had little glass cups that you would take a pinch of salt from it and put it in a recipe or what you needed it for. Also when fire fighters had to put on there sirens they would have to crank a wheel so that it would work. And when you would do laundry you had to put alot of work into it. For example  you would have to take buckets and fill it then add your clothes iron them by hand, and while you were washing them you had to crank a wheel in usually a dark room. And you had to do it for about twenty or thirty minutes just cranking the wheel to make it wash the clothes. The oxford museum was such a fun experience and a really fun filed trip. I really enjoyed going to the oxford museum. I learned so much from it.

Somethings I learned at the Oxford Museum was that people had to poop in a bucket and I’m going to tell you all the things I learned at the Oxford Museum. One thing that was really cool is their baseball team it was interesting because their bat was a literal stick and their hats were buckets and for football their helmets were leather and that was crazy. In the 1800’s people used to put there wet hair in a jar and make it into a sculpture and when you were sad you put tears in a jar and when the tears evaporated you would go back to your life. And that all about the 1800’s.

          “Today I went to the Oxford Museum for are class field trip, I will tell you what happens” “We walked to the museum it was only a block away.” ” All the boys where trying to make the cars honk, it was so vary funny. When we got in to the building we got split up in to gorps. One gorp whet down stairs one stared. One thing I learned was that the kids in the olden days everyone would have to work and the kids would too. Then I learned that if it was cold and at night you would have a chamber pot under there the bed, if they had to go to the bathroom they would get the chamber pot from under the bed and…! I learner that a girl would brush there hair and keep it. they would make a picture out of it. We went in to the big spot then we learned that when they waned to play to piano they had to use the food spot and make it full of air. Then we went down stars. we learner of what they had to use and how to get ice and how they washed there closes too. Then out of no where a big big picture Brock it was so scary, the people asked like it was no big deal. then we went to a hall way where we learned about Oxford back than! It was so fun, you should go!
