A wordle of my blog!

A couple weeks ago was Earth Day where everyone was broadcasting about ways to cut down on trash and just help the earth. During school a couple of weeks before that we had a group of people come in. They helped us sort though all trash from that day and the day before that. A group of volunteers from each of our classes got in gloves and aprons, so they wouldn't get dirty. They dumped out all of the trash out of the bags and sorted through them. There were three groups of food. Trash that would go to the landfills, recyclable things, and Compostable things. We ahd about 87 pounds of trash before we sorted though it all. But when we were done sorting through things we had reduced it down to 25 pound of trash about 51 pounds of compostable trash and 9 pounds of recyclable stuff. It doesn't add up because some of it was liquids and little things we really couldn't pick up. It was very gross but showed us how we can reduce down the amount of trash that goes into landfills. 

Another thing thing we did was the Earth Cast. A few of people from each of the classes were in little groups with different assignments for everyone. We had a greeter and a question answering person. They just typed on the computers. Then there were intro people and outro people who also answered questions and talked about things that we did. It was really fun and each class said something different. There were also other people in different schools or organizations that talked too. It went on for 24 hours. From 8pm the night before earth day to 8pm the night of Earth Day. it was very inspirational.

 This is my scanner project for L.A. I read the Book Crispin. The sword is there because he uses it to save his life. The Bear is there because one of the main characters name was Bear. The cross is Like the main part of the story. I can't say why. It will give it away. The coins are there because someone said he stole coins when he really didn't. The ball is there because it represents a juggling ball and bear juggles and the flag is there because its Englands flag and it takes place in England.

The scanning was actually very easy. We had how to do it on the side of the computer so It was very easy to use it. There really isn't any easier way to use it

This is my spreadsheet. I picked three stocks. Ebay, Walt Disney, and Walmart. We started our stocks on November 19 2009 and we're going to end on April 22, 2010. We started a spread sheet so we could see if we were gaining money or losing money. At first everything that I had I was losing money with but now, I'm gaining money. This was from Thursday April 1, 2010 so now I'm still gaining but Walmart is losing. This is to teach us how to use stock and what happens in everyday life. Those are my stocks.

Our Favorite Colors!
This is a wordle of a graph of our favorite colors. We wrote them down and then graphed them. Then we sent them to Belize where the students there wrote and graphed their favorite colors. As you can see Blue was the color most people liked.

This is my wordle. If you go on a website you can type something in and press create and it takes the most used words and makes this! This is from a lightning story that I had. Here is my story....

THE LIGHTNING HUNTERS

One day me and my sister were inside. We were very young. It was raining out so we couldn't go outside and we were both very bored. Soon it started to thunder and lightning. Me and my sister later went up to my room. We got on these cool little outfits and opened my window. It didn't have a screen in so you could reach you hand outside. We took a pin wheel. One that you put in the ground that spins when the wind comes, and stuck it out the window. Trying to get lightning to hit it. Yes I know, we weren't very smart. Lucky no lightning hit it. And that's the story of the LIGHTING HUNTERS.

I did a report on when we got lost in Tennessee. It was really fun. It was at night, on a boat and there was lightning. We were coming home from dinner at like nine o' clock and we saw lightning. We almost ran into a buoy and then we almost went the wrong way. It was a really fun and scary night.

In my artwork I used horses in my collage because I wanted it to be based on things I like. I wanted my audience to see that I like to ride horses and that they are magnificent animals. I used magazines to cut out the pictures, then I used modge podge® to glue them on. Finally, I used paint to paint on the first initial of my name. I also like green and orange together and that’s what I painted the M. I think that my artwork turned out very successful because it turned out how I wanted it to. That’s what inspired my artwork.

This is my Social Studies Poster. Its on Political Science. Political Science is the Study of the government and how it works.

The moon rocks were very cool. Even though I was expecting something bigger it was soo cool. They looked a lot like rocks on earth. But the soil looks different. We got 3 different rocks. Basalt, Breccia, and Anorthosite. There were also 3 different soils Mare Soil, highland Soil, and orange soil. To me the orange soil didn't look orange.
