Archeologist News


IMG_5963IMG_5964The archeologist dig was successful. Please view the pictures and tell us what you think?

In the pictures you will notice the use of yarn to mark a specific point to dig. The archeologist refer to this as a unit which is measured in meters. We just finished our unit on geometry. How many feet are in a meter?

One fun tidbit I learned is that when an archeologist are not sure if they have discovered a bone or a rock a test is conducted by licking the object. If it sticks it is a bone. If it does not stick it is a rock. How cool is that.

Thunderbird Archeology Club


Do you know what Archeology means? Archeology is the scientific study of past human culture and behavior, from the origins of humans to the present. The Powell Archeology club will be studying past culture by digging right here at Powell tomorrow afternoon right afterschool. What do you think they might find to tell us about our past human culture?

Stay tuned to see pictures and information of the items found.

FIESTA


We have been discussing school schedules and attendance along with following routines. Some of you have related traditions and seasons to scheduels and routines; like changes from winter to spring or family traditions and historical celebrations such as Fiesta. Since Fiesta is right around the corner, I wanted us to discuss the celebration and what is our favorite event to attend.

My favorite part of Fiesta is the carnival. The rides remind me of when I was a little girl having fun with my family at the carnival that came once a year to the small city where I grew up. We are so lucky to have the great amusement parks here in San Antonio!!

What do you like most about Fiesta?
