Was is the journal, the iBook with widgets, the chest with your story once you got to Oregon, pioneer math story, map, brain tracking, making butter or viewing to learn with Little House on the Prairie? Please give a detailed explanation about what you liked or did not enjoy as much and why.  Write four to five complete sentences with correct punctuation and grammar.

  1. Well I had a lot of fun on everything ,but the thing that cough my eye was making the butter if you wonder why I will tell you its because I like when we get in teams and go agents each other and the other thing is that I have never made butter before We usually go to the store and get it but I get to see how the pioneers make it and I did not dislike anything # MIA

  3. Studying Pioneers was my favorite unit. I love to read and learn about adventure. My favorite thing about this unit has to be watching Little House on the Prairie. My second favorite thing was making the butter. It tasted so, so good. That is why I ate so much. I can't wait to do fractured fairy tails. Mine will be Little brown bear where the girl eats the wolf.

One of my favorite parts of the pioneer unit was pioneer hour it was really fun my parents really enjoyed the ibook, my journal, math story, family portrait, and espiecially the video both Mia's and I did. My parents were laughing so hard. I also really enjoyed making butter. It was fun having a competition to see you could make the butter first that was really fun!!!

  5. I liked making butter because all of us were shaking and shaking, running around tables and running place we were yelling shake harder and jumping up and down if we needed to.
    Once we were done the butter was so good!! ( we got to taste it!! ) It was salty and sweet!!
    I also liked watching Little House On the Prairie. There are so many parts when you just want to watch more!!

  6. I really liked pioneer research because Mrs.O'Connell made it really really fun. I liked doing the ibook because it gave me something to do when I was bored. I also loved making butter and eating it with biscuits. Another thing I like was the journals because it washard trying to think of things to right about when you do every thing you can think of. #DJ out

  7. I really loved pioneer day because we made butter and had beef jerky. I enjoyed writing in the journal because we experienced what a pioneer did and got to make up names. I also liked watching little house on the prairie because we got to see what they actually did on screen. also, my favorite widget on the I-book was the questions that you got to answer about anything. I also, liked the math story because you could do four groups of Indians with 7 each, or each child picked up four buffalo chips and there were 6 children.

  8. My favorite part about the pioneer unit was probably watching Little House on the Prairie. I also liked the pioneer math story and making the butter. The Ibook was really fun too. My least favorite thing was having to write about when we got to Oregon because it wasn't very fun to write all that and it took a lot of time. This was my favorite unit but I am still very excited for fractured fairy tales. REECE OUT!!!

  9. My favorite parts of the pioneer unit are watching Little House on the Prairie, making butter, and writing in my journal. I liked watching Little House on the Prairie because I loved how it's so exciting and always ends on a cliffhanger! I liked making butter because we split up into teams and saw who could make it the fastest. It also tasted really good! I liked writing in my journal because I could make whatever I wanted happen. The pioneer unit was my favorite unit so far, but I'm looking forward to fractured fairy tales!

  12. I had a lot of fun during our pioneer unit. For now, I will tell you my favorites.
    First, I loved doing the journal because we had to write a lot. I also enjoyed doing the log cabins. Then, I really liked dressing up and wearing old closes for a hole day. Finally, to finish it off, I loved pioneer hour showing off everything!

But my favorite thing the I book with widgets. I liked it because it was fun and when it was cool when it was done. I also liked Little House on the Prairie. I liked that because it was exciting and it kept on going. #brett#

  19. The thing I enjoyed most was the Ibooks, my parents were impressed! I loved journaling cause we could make super crazy thing happen. I really liked working with the widgets in i book, there was even a feature that you could make 3-D, but we weren't aloud to use it. The best part was the butter and biscuits. What was really fun was getting to shake up the butter. I also liked watching little house on the prairie it gave me some helpful tips. I loved getting dressed up. that is what I learned in my pioneer unit.
