Puppies, Tapirs, Dolphins and Video Games

We had our first research project presentations of the summer. Preston wanted to get in on the action and talked about puppies. He told us that puppies eat puppy food and dogs eat dog food. He showed us a picture of a puppy, but said not all puppies look like this.

Maysen did her project on Tapirs. I don't know how she finds out about these weird animals, but it was pretty fun and interesting. She made Animal Jeopardy 2 for us to play. (Last year she did an animal jeopardy on Okapi). Jorja and I won! Thank goodness Jorja was on my team because she remembered a lot more than I did.

Jorja did her project on dolphins. I didn't know dolphins had two brains. After her presentation, she had everyone play a pin the tail on the dolphin game.

Stockton did his project on video games. He made this trivia game with crazy questions about the history of video games. We got most of the answers wrong. I think Mike got two right and Jorja got one right. They were super hard. When you got the answer wrong, a big X would appear and say you need to play more video games.

This is the spinner to determine whose turn it was. Stockton would hit the space bar to see where it stopped. Mario got the most turns.

Level Failed. Play more video games.
Can't wait to see what they come up with next week!
