**The fifth grade was able to Skype with Aquanaut, Chris Olstad from the Underwater Lab in Key largo Florida. Each of the students was able to operate and maneuver the aqua rover from over 1,300 miles away. Below is a short video of a few students at work. Check out our photos from our Shutterfly site.** media type="custom" key="25834972"

To Clean or Not to Clean? That is the question of the Day. =This coin, dated 1863, just happened to be in a roll of quarters my husband opened over the weekend. As you can see, it is quite dirty. It does have some Civil War significance, but we haven't done research on it yet. We thought it would be helpful if we would clean it up a bit for better observation. One of my fifth grade students said that it would cause the coin to lose value, if it has any. So we did some research. Yep, he was right. It would lose value. But, what if it wasn't worth much to begin with? How would we clean it. More research was done and simple products like ketchup, vinegar and salt, and even a pencil eraser are all great cleaning products for a copper coin. Today, we put these products to the test and cleaned a bunch of filthy pennies. Pictures of the big event can be found on our Shutterfly site. This afternoon...April 2, 2014...we will investigate the actual value of this coin. Our findings will be posted below. If it is worth a million dollars, you can all come and visit me in Hawaii!= Slightly Embellished Stories of Mrs. K's Drive to Work (Will it ever stop snowing?) media type="file" key="Mrs. k.wav" width="300" height="50" || Lukemedia type="file" key="Luke.wav" width="300" height="50" || Michaelmedia type="file" key="mike.wav" width="300" height="50" ||  || media type="file" key="Ava.wav" width="300" height="50" || Tyler N .media type="file" key="Tyler N.wav" width="300" height="50" || Tyler R. media type="file" key="Tyler R.wav" width="300" height="50" ||  || media type="file" key="Ella.wav" width="300" height="50" || Gracie media type="file" key="Gracie G.wav" width="300" height="50" || Grace media type="file" key="Grace M.wav" width="300" height="50" ||  || media type="file" key="Emma.wav" width="300" height="50" || Bryce media type="file" key="Bryce.wav" width="300" height="50" || Sam media type="file" key="Sam.wav" width="300" height="50" ||  || media type="file" key="Anna.wav" width="300" height="50" || Aubreymedia type="file" key="Aubrey.wav" width="300" height="50" || Catherine media type="file" key="Catherine.wav" width="300" height="50" || media type="file" key="Preston.wav" width="300" height="50" || Griffin media type="file" key="Griffin.wav" width="300" height="50" ||  || media type="custom" key="25174146" align="center" || media type="custom" key="25174138" align="center" ||

We traveled old Native American Trails, walked through mud, water, and plains. We lugged with us a wagon to collect items from our expedition to bring back to civilization. What an afternoon, and Lewis and Clark traveled for how long?

Sadness overtakes the inconsolable human residents of Pumpkin Patch Island. The drama is unbearable, but an unidentified witness took a home video of the funeral. Please, have a tissue box handy.
