Are you Achin'?

Are you achin'?
yum yum yum
For some bacon?
yum yum yum
They were little pigs
yum yum yum
But they'll be very large one day soon!
Oi!

While working Seed Survivor in the Ag-tivity in the City tent, I wanted to make friends with a farmer and feed a calf by a bottle and play with piglets.  Somehow, I met a nice pig farmer named Shawn, who is also a City of Calgary Police Officer!  His family is also very nice, and his girls come play and help out at our booth.

Wish they would stay this tiny!
Anyways...to make a long story short, this morning I got to play with the piglets before we opened.  So fun!  I can't wait to play with them more.  They are so soft.  These little guys were 7 days old today, but when they are first born they are the size of a water bottle.  And I was told today by Kaylee (pig farmers oldest daughter) that the pigs are ready for market when they are 5.5 months old.  And we thought our bean plants grew big! 

I want to keep you!
Here's a fun fact for you.  Male pigs can get up to 1000 pounds!  That's one large pig.

The Anti-Climatic Royal Sighting

I got up at 5:50 AM Friday morning to get down to the parade route for my attempt to see Will and Kate before I had to go to work on the grounds.

Although I did get to see them fly by in their motorcade, I was disappointed they weren't in a carriage, or in a classic convertible.

I somehow managed to get a decent picture out of it though.  Not sure how.  At first the picture looks like no big deal....but a little zooming in, and I discovered I have Kate smiling and a decent profile of Will!  :)

Summer Fun Time!

Changed the title of my Blog since this won't be really used as an agenda anymore.  Will try to write things as they happen.

St. Mary Lake in Glacier National Park, Montana
Got back from Glacier National Park yesterday.  Had a fun time camping!  A nice way to unwind and get into the swing of summer vacation.  Although, it would have been nice if the truck from Illinois hadn't backed into my car...time to call insurance.

WORKING ON THE TRASH    (sung to "I've
Been Working on the Railroad") 


We've been working on REDUCING 
All the trash we can. 
We've been working on reducing 
It's a very simple plan. 
Don't go wasting any products, 
Use just exactly what you need.
Don't buy things in extra wrapping, 
Reduce and you'll succeed!


We've been working on REUSING 
All the trash we can. 
We've been working on reusing, 
It's a very simple plan. 
If it's a paper bag you're using, 
Don't use it once, use it twice! 
Give old clothes and toys to someone, 
To reuse them would be nice!  


We've been working on RECYCLING 
All the trash we can, 
We've been working on recycling, 
It's a very simple plan, 
Separate your glass and paper, 
Separate your plastic and tin. 
Take the trash that you've recycled 
your recycling bin! 


--------------------------------------------------------------------


Recycling In My Home   (to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus")


Recycling in my home goes round and round,
Round and round, round and round.
Recycling in my home goes round and round,
All through the day.


Tie up the papers and take them back,
Take them back, take them back.
Tie up the papers and take them back,
All through the day.


Crush the cans and take them back.....


Rinse the milk bottles and take them back....


Save the glass and take it back......

Book Count Challenge Update

Hi Everyone,

I just finished another book.  This one was shorter.  It's called Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom.  He's written a number of books, and I've read most of them.  The next book I'm going to read seems pretty big.  It's really thick!  Not sure if I'll have it finished by Monday or not, but we'll see.

Happy last weekend!  See you Monday!

-MacLean

Book Challenge Update

I know I was MIA (missing in action) for a couple of days....I was busy walking up and down massive hills in Seattle exploring what their city had to offer.

All that being said, you can add another book to the list!  I just finished Hoot. All 292 pages of it. It's a good one.  I'm excited to read it in class with you!

Hope you enjoy the remainder of your break!  Happy reading!!

-MacLean

Book Count Challenge continued...

So, I just finished reading my second book!  Secret Daughter.  So good!  Although, like you guys with not liking the ending to Bridge to Terabithia, I really didn't like how this book ended.  It just ended! Oh...and the book was 342 pages long.  Just saying.

How's your reading coming?!

Building Devices and Vehicles that Move -- Spring Break Project


Dear Parents,

As part of our Science unit on Building Devices and Vehicles that Move, students are being asked to construct a model of a moving device at home.  They have selected a blueprint, (instruction sheet,) of their choice, and these can also be found on D2L.  This should only be made out of recycled materials so that there is no cost.  Pre-made wheels and axles from toy cars, etc. should not be used.  For example, if making a car, it can be as simple as using a juice box, wrapping it with paper, and making a design on it.  Then, students could use a straw and milk jug lids as the wheels and axles.  These are small models that should be no bigger than a shoebox.  All models should be decorated as well.

They will be bringing their models back to school on April 11th, 2011, after Spring Break to share with the class.  Have fun completing the project together!  We look forward to comparing our designs when we get back.
Miss MacLean
