Wii Had Fun!

Flat Arthur and Flat Stanley and I had fun playing the Wii!  I love it when my whole family plays the Wii for family game night.  My favorite games are Despicable Me, Sonic Colors and Wipeout!  I don't like it when the timer goes off and I have to stop playing the Wii.

The Mobius Band Band

Flat Stanley, Flat  Arthur, and I made Mobius bands. Together we are the Mobius Band Band! A Mobius band is made by paper and tape. You cut a strip and then put the ends together but before you tape it you have to give one end a half twist. If an ant were to crawl along the length of this strip, it would return to it's starting point having crawled across every part of the strip without ever crossing an edge. This is neat because if you have an odd number of twists then you have one boundary but if you have an even number of twists then you have two boundaries. The Mobius Band was discovered by the German mathmaticians August Ferdinand Mobius and Johann Benedict Listing in 1858.

The Demo Team

I have been taking karate at the Little Gym for since I was four years old.  I can break boards with my hands and feet using different moves.  I am now a brown belt! I went to demo team for the first time. I got a badge.  On demo team we go places and perform our karate moves for people.  I love it!
