The Truth About the Crow Video

Do you remember the crow video from last year? Well I learned that when there is a flock of crows, there is an owl nearby. So, there must have been an owl nesting in that tree that the crows flew into.

What I am learning for Literature

The Summary of By the Great Horn Spoon
The butler, Praiseworthy and his master, Jack, were stowaways on the
Lady Wilma. Back in Boston Jack had heard his Aunt Arabella say to one of her lady friends, “The family fortune is nearly gone now. I can only live one more year before selling my family estate.” So Jack decided he was going to California to mine some gold. But, the very English butler had found out and said he was going. When they got there to buy their ticket, they found that someone had stole it. So, they had to go as stowaways. They saw that if the captain beat the Sea Raven to San Francisco he would get a new ship. So Praiseworthy suggested that they shoveled the coal so the ship would go faster. The captain consented, leaving them to the warm fire.
One day, when it was starting to get warmer, Jack saw a pig he made that pig his friend and named him Good Luck for good luck. One day, while Jack was taking a wash in sea water, the butler suddenly shouted, “I’ve got how we can catch the thief!”
All the passengers were in an assembly on deck. Good Luck was covered in charcoal. Each passenger touched the pigs back. If the pig did not squeal, then that passenger was not guilty. All but one passenger touched the pig. That one was guilty.
The passenger was cut eye Higgins dressed as a “doctor.” He was put to work to shovel the coal which made him sweat for now it was as sunny as summer. Jack didn’t believe that back at home it was still winter! Now that he caught the thief, they needed to find their money the “doctor” hid.
One day, while they were searching in Higgins’s cabin, the captain was smoking on a pipe. Unexpected, a banknote flew out. Cut eye Higgins had hid them in the pipe! Now all problems are solved.

Space: What I learned for school

SATURN by Tracy Zeng
Saturn is the second largest of all the planets. Its weight is over 95 times of the Earth’s. It is the sixth planet in order from the Sun. Did you know that it is about 1.4 billion kilometers from the Sun? It makes one complete orbit around the Sun every 29.46 years. Since it spins really fast, it completes one rotation in about 10 hours and 39 minutes. The most famous part of Saturn is the many rings that go around it. The rings are made of dust, gasses, and pieces of rock. Right now it has a total of 21 moons discovered, also known as satellites. The planets closest to Saturn are Jupiter and Uranus. The planet Saturn is a very interesting planet to study.
