THURSDAY

"Alright big kids we are doing a research project on mars." Liam said

"So are we going mars?" Kate asked

"No we are doing to on the computer." Liam said

"So what do we need for this project?" I asked

"You guys are going to research what life would be on mars. This project must be done alone." Liam said

Liam handed out the worksheets.

Here's my paper on mars:

LIFE ON MARS

Many scientists believe that in the near future, humans may be able to leave Earth to live on Mars. If you decide that you might like to be among those to take part in this great adventure, there are a few things you might want to know.

1)On Mars, you'll get extra time in the day to do the things you want to do like sleep in! Martian days are about half an hour longer than Earth days. But that's nothing compared to the extra time you'll get in a year--687 days versus only 365 days on Earth.

2)Before you leave Earth, be sure to pack a lot of soap and laundry detergent. The "Red Planet" gets its nickname for the fine, red dust that covers Mars' surface. It wouldn't be so bad if the dust just settled on the ground, then only your shoes would get ruined. The problem is that frequent and intense dust storms big enough to cover the entire planet can throw dust up to 25 miles into the air and last for months at a time--you're definitely going to get dirty!

3)Mars has some great scenery! While you're there, be sure to check out the volcano, Olympus Mons, the biggest mountain in the entire solar system. Its base is large enough to cover the entire state of Montana and Rhode Island could fit comfortably in its crater! It is thought that some of Mars' giant canyons and other surface features were formed from water flowing over the surface a long time ago when Mars was much warmer and may have supported life. Another bonus of Martian scenery: two moons in the nighttime sky--Phobos and Deimos.

4)Because Mars is located farther from the Sun than Earth, it will be a lot colder there. The average temperature on Mars is -63oF. That's about 120oF colder than on Earth! The extra distance will also make the Sun look much smaller in the sky than it does from Earth. But don't let the smaller-looking Sun and cold temperatures fool you! Mars lacks the protective ozone layer we have in Earth's atmosphere, so you're much more likely to be severely sunburned there. So take some serious sunscreen--like SPF 1000!!

Mars' cold temperatures might also cause you to think that the white flakes you see falling down around you and on the mountain tops are snowflakes, but they're actually crystals of frozen carbon dioxide (also known as "dry ice"). If fact, the Martian atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide, so I guess you'll want to pack plenty of oxygen too!

"EVERYONE ITS TIME FOR ENGLISH!" Louis shouted

The little ran into the dinning room and sat down.

"Harold,Darcy, and Fridous you are going to play the pbs kids wordgirl app for 20 minutes then you going to trade places with the preschoolers and work with Zayn on spelling." Harry said

"The big kids are going to read the book we started on Monday. Then you can do the reading comp. workbooks for the chapters you read. Then you can research the vocab words." Zayn said

"Preschoolers lets get started on your spelling." Harry said

The kindergarteners ran into the living room with the iPads.
