Tiger exhibit

On Friday May21,2010, our class took a field trip to South Street Seaport in Manhattan. We went to a virtual tiger exhibit. We experienced what it's like to be a tiger. We talked like a tiger and we tested if we were as strong as a tiger. There were games like rock climbing. There was a short movie telling us about how tigers were tracked and observed. We learned a lot about tigers. It was a fun,cool,and educational experience.

This is part of the group seeing if they can sound  like a cub

This is the group exploring the wonders of this tiger exibit

John's love for legos!!!!!

For years and years I have  loved Legos! I have made a career out of Lego's since I was two years old! I make very interesting things with legos. I make boats, houses, and planes! Right now I'm doing a project with my legos and I have to make a house, pool, garden, boat, and a garage! I have actually won a lego contest
by making a tug boat in summer camp. My mom said that I should be an engineer when I grow up and
build houses, space crafts, and build green stadiums. I might become famous! I love Legos and I will love them and build them for the rest of my life!!!!!


PS. - (quick fact) Lego's help with your confidence, hand-eye-cordination, and imagination!

Ms. Hibbert attended a Lego art exhibit by Nathan Sawaya. Below is some of his work. Here is his website:

I like this lego creation because when I saw this lego creation, I was amazed because this was very creative and I love swimming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like this lego creation because this creative lego builder made two bodies when one of them was dieing on the other persons arms. This probably took a very long time to build!

I thought that this creation  was very cool because the wall is made out of the legos and so is the man coming out of the wall!


I like this one on the bottom because the man is trying to get out the pile of legos  and the man and the pile are legos!!!!!!!

Staten Island

   On Saturday May 15, Aham, Hunter, Malik, Hunters dad and Ms. Hibbert went on a trip to the Staten Island ferry. When we bordered the ferry we went to the deck of the ferry. We saw the Statue of Liberty and other ships. When we got off the ferry, we took a bus to a museum called Snug Harbor.

    At the museum we saw sculptures and pictures of Lincoln. As we went into a room there was a flag that had 13 colonies and 34 stars which are states. After that, we went to a ship exhibit and we saw different types of ships. Then we ate lunch and we went to a Chinese Garden and it had words in Chinese. Afterwards we went on the ferry back to Manhattan.

    We learned that Abraham Lincoln was born in the Illinois. He wrote the Emancipation Proclamation to abolish slavery. Abraham Lincoln was a two faced President because he went for both sides of the civil war. The trip was very fun.

This is the Verazzano Bridge. We saw the bridge while on the ferry. There was a lot of ships going under the bridge and to the other side. It was exciting.

This is a picture of Aham and Malik standing by the end of the ferry. You can't really see the faces because of the sunlight.

This is a tepee that is inside Snug Harbor. It was made out of paper and other artifacts. When you go inside there is a light and a lot of papers.  

This is a picture of different pieces of pictures put together to make a very beautiful picture of a girl.

This a picture of a pink statue made out of paint and foam (that is yellow, but it was painted). The picture looks a little wierd.

This is a picture of Malik, Aham and Hunter standing in front of a writing that is wrote in Japanese. It is written with green ink.

This is a tiny fruit called pomegrant. It is very sweet and sour fruit. This is part of Lincolns home in Snug  Harbor.

This is a picture of Hunter, Aham and Malik standing by the Chinese Garden looking at the fish.
