Morpheus and the Creative Cougars

Hi this is Morpheus and I'm here with Lexi. She introduced me to the Creative Cougars. They are so cool. They had their class election a few days ago. I like Creative Cougar. He is a stuffed cougar. He is one of my close friends, but the Creative Cougars are my friends too. They take lots of pictures of me. I like it, because I feel so famous. They did a great job for red ribbon week. We did so many cool things. They even have a website called http://www.jabernethy.com/ . You can go there and even check it out because it is really cool. It has different kinds of websites on it. They are fun and you do work at the same time. You can go to that website if you just click on it. I am going to miss them a lot when I have to leave. I hope they will miss me too. I am sure they will miss me a lot, because they did so many fun things with me.

Electoral Colleges

Hi. I am Morpheus. I came  to  Mrs.Abernethy's class. I just learned about electoral colleges. They are based on the population of a state. California has the most electoral colleges with 55. That's a lot and Texas is next.  It is odd that Texas doesn't have the most electoral college votes, because it's the biggest state. They had a class election while I was here and their votes were based on their states' electoral college votes.
That's all and this is from Morpheus .

Hi! My name is Morpheus. I am at Mrs. Abernethy's Creative Cougar Class. Mrs. Abernethy has lots of pets. She lives on a farm.o She has a lot of pets at school to. She has a ferret and three lizards. I like to play with the lizards. Their names are Lightning, Tornado, and Thunder. We like to pose for pitcures with Creative Cougar. The Creative Cougars take good care of the lizards. Some of the people that take care of them are Jonna, Sierra, Suzy, Lisbeth, Hayli, and Jayda. They take very good care and let the lizards pose for pictures. I have met three great friends in my adventure at Mrs. Abernethy's Creative Cougars Class.

Band


Hi! I am Morpheus. I got to see all the fifth graders that are in band. It was amazing. They are professionals. I love it! I would play the trumpet because the trumpet only has three keys. Flute looks the hardest. When the whole band plays, it is really loud. The flute is the quietest. The saxophone and the trumpet are the loudest. Ms. Burke is the music, chorus, and band teacher. It was so fun!! I love band! If I come to your school show me the band room.

My friend Kristian likes art. He made this project for a literature circle project for a book he is reading called Holes. It's pretty cool, isn't it?

States

Hi I am Morpheus. In Mrs Abernethy's class everybody has two states. They have to study them and make a poster on them using Glogster. They have to know how many votes their states have, because they used the electoral votes in our class election. I think it is pretty cool. I can't wait to see the posters for the states. I bet they are cool.

Build it Trinity

By: Lisbeth
This is Morpheus! I'm visiting East Elementary. They are doing a project on Trinity. Trinity is land that is all messed up.We are going to try to make the people who own it clean it up. They have dumped toxic waste on the land. I'm not happy about that. They say they'll clean it up. We don't know how well though.  I want to see what they do with the land. In the meantime, Mrs. Abernethy's Creative Cougars are coming up with their own ideas about what should be done with the land when it is clean. Here is a link to their wikispace for the project: Build it Trinity. The picture below shows me with the Creative Cougars at the end of the school property. Trinity is behind us.
