A Peek Into Sarah's Journal

Sarah was reading some things from her journal to grandma and grandpa on Saturday night and I realized she has some gems in there that I had to document. She gave me permission to blog them. Sarah's journal is so cute and creative. She has one where she writes about her days, but she has this other one that's kind of a smattering of creativeness, science facts, poetry and drawings. She loves to write. Here are a couple of my favorites.

How Do you Make and egg float?

it's simple! That is if you have salt, an egg thats still in the shell and not cracked, a teaspoon and a bowl filled with water.

Steps
#1 take the bowl of water and swet it in front of you.
#2 Put 20 tsp. of salt in the bowl of water
#3 put the egg in and watch it float

Ta da! If you tried out my experiment, sighn right here ________________

WHY THE EGG FLOATED
When you put an egg in water randomly, the egg sinks to the bottom because the egg is heavyer than the water. When you add on tsp of salt it does not float. 2, no, 3, no 4 no 5 no 6 no 7 no 8 no 9 no ten no 11 no 12 no 13 no 14 no 15 no 16 no 17 no 18 no 19 no 20 yes!. Yes because when you add 20 tsp. to the water, the water becomes heavyer so the egg floats to the top.

My Favorite Things - NEW! (to the tune of the "My Favorite Things" in the Sound of Music) by Sarah

Little black kittens and ginger bread houses
Spongebob Squarepants and little stuffed mouses
Junie B. Jones and singing
These are a few of my favorite things.

Monica and Taylor, my two very best friends
birthday partys that never end
talking and chatering over wings
these are a few of my favorite things.

mom, dad and Natalie Angela too
righting books and playing Guess Who
trying on dresses and putting on rings
these are a few of my favorite things

when the germ comes
when I'm in trouble
when I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things
and then I don't feel so bad.
