A Trip to Cape San Blas
My dad and I decided to head down to the beach for a day or so this past summer. After being in the car for an hour and a half, I start to see glimpses of the water. About 30 minutes later we arrived at our beach house and unpacked, then I helped my dad turn the water on at the meter, and I went down to the beach. There I saw hundreds of little blue things that looked a lot like jellyfish, but we weren’t quite sure what they were. They had flat disc-like bodies with little blue tentacles coming off of them in all directions. If one had floated away in the water then you could see a blue stain on the sand where it had been. We didn’t want to swim with them so we checked the water to see if they were floating around, and they were so we decided not to swim.
For the rest of the day I collected little periwinkles. Those are the little colorful shells that bury themselves in the sand when the tide washes away. We made sand castles with moats, sand walls surrounding them to block the water.
I took a walk with my dad at sunset, saw some dolphins, then headed up to our house for some dinner. We played some cards and watched some things on TV.
The next morning, we had some breakfast and headed to the beach again. Those blue things were still there but we got in the water, but only up to our knees. Since we had to drive to pick up my sister and her friend, Alex, from Gainesville, we had to pack up and get on the road.

In Math
This year in math we have been talking about…
- Prime and composite numbers. A prime number is a number that is only divisible by itself and the number one, so there for it has two factors. A composite number is a number that has three or more factors.
- Divisibility rules. Divisibility rules are rules in math that help you decide if a number is divisible by a one digit number. There is not a rule for seven, but all the other one digit numbers have a divisibility rule for example, for the number two the rule is if the last digit is even then it is divisible by two.
- Square numbers. A square number is a number that if divided by one number equlse the same number as it’s divisor(example: 49/7=7)
- Probability. Probability is a way of showing knowledge that an event will occur or has occurred. Probability is the fraction of the time that something will happen, like if a spinner will land on the red half is 50-50 chance.
Whittington Summary
The cat Whittington has finally found a real home in a barn with two horses, one duck, a few hens and a rooster. In the barn Wittington tells about a person called Dick Wittington (this is where Wittington’s name came from). In the story the cat Wittington experiences a roller-coaster ride of joy and tragedy with the barn animals.
I would recommend Wittington to anyone that likes every day animal tales.
