     This week in Science we finished learning about sound.  It was really cool learning about how your ear works.  We started to learn about solids, liquids and gases this week.  It was very cool to see what kinds of gases, liquids and solids there are.  Solids, liquids and gases are also known as matter.

          This week in Health, we learned about how drugs can be medicine. We learned about which drugs are good and which ones are bad. Good drugs are ones that gt you over a sickness or cold. Bad drugs  can kill you! So I recommend  not taking bad drugs because they are really bad!

    During Social Studies in Mr.Weinstein's.  fifth grade class, we learned about the Colombian exchange. That's when Christopher Columbus established a trade route  Taino people. By doing this he made one of the most important trade routes in the world.

This week in Social Studies we read and wrote about different explorers. The 2 explorers we read about were Hernando Cortes and Vasco Nunez de Balboa. Hernando Cortes was a conquistador and he conquered the Aztecs. Vasco Nunez de Balboa ran away on a ship from Spain to Columbia. He became governor there and killed a whole tribe of Natives with his man-eating dogs.
