kite! An extremely fun thing to do on a windy day. Kites are big and small, the biggest kite ever flown was a kite of a chinese dragon. Kites also orginated from China! Kites are able to fly because of winds, which are caused by the the uneven surface of the earth. Some kites go really high and fast, but other kites are just peacefully there. Sometimes your kite might not fly because your kite might not deflect the air from the ground. Sometime's, making your own kite is really fun!

In class we learned about the water cycle and how we affect it. Naturally, the water cycle runs with fresh water. When humans affect the water cycle, the water gets polluted. The three sections that our class divided the water cycle into was the clouds, bodies of water, and human uses of water. All of us were assigned task, to be clouds, or to evaporate water and to condense it into lakes, or other types of water. If we were assigned the task of being a cloud, we get a small cup and collect water from people who have spoons (evaporators). Once our cup is full, we need to pour the water into a body of water (rain). To learn more about the water cycle go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cycle
