HOW DO YOU MAKE A POTHOLDER?


1.First you take your potholder loom and put your "loops" across it.  (colors of your choice)


2.Then take some more loops and weave.  Start by going up and under the next. (say out loud-up and under and up and under)    (repeat) 
3.When you have finished your first "line" of weaving then instead of starting by going up like before you are going to start by going under.  (under and up under and up)  (repeat)
4. Now start by going up again and copy step 2.  Then do step 3 then step 2 and then step 3 again.
5.There are "pegs" on your loom so when you are finished with one line of weaving, you "hook" your loop on the peg and do another line of weaving.
6.When you have done all of the lines you tie it off and it ends up looking kind of like a braid.
7. This is the last step!  To finish the edges: start at one corner.  Take the loop off the right corner and left corner pegs.  Push the loop in your right hand through the one in your left hand.  Now take the second loop from the peg in your left hand and pull it through the loop you are holding in your right hand.  Keep going along the row and then eventually around the whole loom.  Be careful that the loops don't pop off the pegs as you go.  Go slow.  When you are all done, you can take your last two loops and just tie them in a knot. YOU DID IT!!

INTERESTING STUDY: WORMS

Where you have the camels, who do best in a hot climate, and the penguins who do best in a cold climate, the fish that thrive in a extremely wet climate, and the furry felines that prefer the warm sunshine, the worms fall into not one of those categorys. The worms like to burrow into the ground, much like a rabbit, except they like to stay under. There they find all the nutrients they need. They need the soil to damp, because 1. imagine how hard it would be to move around in dry, crumbly soil. 2. their body needs to be able to get water from soil, just like we need to get water from our sink. Of course, a worm can't have too much water, otherwise it will die. Though humans need water, we would drown if someone dunked up under water and didn't let us come up for air. It's the same with worms. Worms might seem easy to care for, but they need both stable, dry, ground and soft wet soil. There is more than 6,000 different types of worms, so you can't expect to have the sam...

CLIVE'S 6 B-DAY

One night in May we went over to my grandma's house and went swimming.  It was a lot of fun.  Some of his friends came over too.  Between doing dives, eating cake, and opening presents we had a really fun night.  My brother got lots of presents -  from remote control bumper cars -   to LEGO Star Wars movies.  The theme of the party was Treasure Map (pirate).  We also had a buried treasure little spot, were you dig in sand - and the best part?  you got to keep the buried treasure!
