This year in math we invested in the stock market. You got to choose 3 stocks you wanted to invest in. I invested in Regal Entertainment, Verizon, and Bank of America. This was a very interesting unit. Thursday was the date that we got all of our information from, but we checked every Friday. We first would get out our computers and log on to yahoo finance and search each on of our stocks to find out our prices were. Our teacher also made every single person follow The Dow Jones Industrial Average. The following paragraphs explain the stocks I invested in and how they did.

In math class we have been investing in the stock market, I invested in Regal Entertainment, Verizon, and Bank of America. I invested in Regal Entertainment because I enjoy the movies. At the beginning of the school year when we invested in the stocks Regal Cinemas had a very good past in the stock world. The concession stand has very high prices which gets a lot of money. I invested in Verizon because has been a very successful in the past. Verizon is the phone company that my family uses. The main reason that I invested in Verizon was because the iphone was coming to Verizon and that would be very good for the company. Bank of America was a stock that I picked because it is an international bank. Also Bank of America is all around the area. All of these stocks are a NYSE. Regal Entertainment, Verizon, and Bank of America all gained money and that is why I picked theses stocks.

I wouldn’t change my stocks but before I invested in them I wish I had done more research. I would get more shares within my company. I know that we had a certain amount of money but I would have been more careful when picking the number of shares. Before I decided in Regal Cinemas, Verizon, and Bank of America I think it would have been helpful if I had talked to people about good, bad, and popular stocks. I also would have asked someone what I should have researched within a stock. Comparing stocks could have helped me do very well. I would have seen what the good stocks have that one does not. I wished I had done more research before I invested in the stocks I did invest in.

Before you invest in a certain stock ask your parents and research to see if it really is a good stock. Go to a financial website to see if it is a good stock. Yahoo finance is a very good website if you are looking to research your stock. Go to a website and see the stocks charts from the past to see if the stocks you are investing have done well in the past. You should talk to students and adults to see what stock s they would suggest. Ask an adult if they are a part of the stock market. Ask an older kids id they invested in stocks if so ask them what the invested in.

We began this project in the end on November and ended in the beginning of May. This was my least favorite project in math this year. Although all of my stocks increased over the year. If I were to restart this project I would ask parents and friends for stocks to invest in. All of the stocks I invested in have a reason behind it. I invested in Regal Cinemas because there was a lot of popular movies were coming our and the concession prices were rising. I invested in Verizon because it is my family’s phones company and the iphone was coming out to Verizon. I invested in Bank of America because my family goes there and it is a very popular bank. Overall my stocks did very well this year but I would of taken advice before I had invested in a certain stock.

This is the new flag for Antarctica. In this flag it represents many things about Antarctica. The back round is 2 different colors. If you didn't know Antarctica is bright all summer and dark all winter. On the flag there is one side that has a sun with light colors like yellow, orange, and red to represent summer. On the other side is a moon with blue, and purple to represent winter. In the center of the picture is the outline of Antarctica. Inside of it are 13 flags. Those 13 flags represent the countries and continents that have a station in Antarctica. I think Antarctica's flag would look like that.

In science we are learning about Antarctica. It is very cold in Antarctica. This graph is about how low can people and animals can dive down in to the ice cold water (burr). The sperm whale can go the lowest. Followed by Weddell Seal. This is very interesting to study, if you ever go to Antarctica remember to pack warm!!!!

Happy Valentines Day

You're the lens to my telescope.

When I look at you my heart turns to blue!

You're the colors to my spectrum.

You're the sun to my earth!

Happy Valentines Day

This was a fun project. it was very difficult to pick at first because there are so many places that you can hide. I had 3 or 4 ideas but I finally decided to do the clock. First I had to take the picture of my self and then the clock. So after we uploaded the pictures to the computer I went on Adobe Photoshop and opened the picture of me, cut out the background with a tool and pasted it on the clock picture. That is how I did the hiding in the art room project.

Did you know that your eye is a very important part of the body. Your eye allows you to do so many things. There are a lot of things that you need to know about, so i will tell you some fun facts. Did you know that your pupil is a hole, but your cornea covers it so something doesn't get into your eye.

Christmas is such a great holiday. On of my favorites. My family has a special tradition that we do every year. When we wake up we have to wait for every single person to be awake. It is painful sometimes I have to wait for a hole 30 minutes which I think is painful. Then when every one is awake we go down stairs. When we go down stairs there is a string attached to our stockings that goes all around our house with presents that are unwrapped. After we go get our stuff out of our stockings we will open my mom and dads presents. When we are about half way through opening we will go and eat breakfast, then go open the rest of our presents. We enjoy the day with our family and then later that night we go to my grandparents house with my cousin and open their presents. That is a brief story of my Christmas day!

Have you ever thought of living in space? Well if you have you have to learn a lot. Some of the things might be: space clothes, food, working in space, hygiene, and sleep. Well they all have a story behind them and if you are going into space you will need to know.

When your in space you were clothing just like you would on earth. You can wear pants, shorts, t-shirt, and other clothing, it doesn't make a different except if you are space walking you were your suit. The clothing that you were in space is either made by the Russians or the Americans. When you are in space there is no washing your clothes. That is why space clothing is very important.

What I think the biggest thing in space is sleeping. When you are sleeping you are attached to a bunk. It is just like wearing a seat belt to bed, it is like that because there is no gravity in space so if you didn't attach your self to the bunk you would just float up. When you wake up, hygiene is very important, when you are in space. You can do exactly the same, you can; shower, go to the bathroom, shave, and brush your teeth. Just as earth you need a lot of sleep and in space you might need more.

In space the food is not very different than earth's food. Some of the food you eat in space comes in packets. The food is very dry, whenever you eat spaghetti you have to add water to it, then the food will become edible. But other foods like fruit and brownies you can just eat because it is already made. The condiments have to be in liquid form, ketchup, mustard, mayo, and other things like that. You have 3 meals a day just like earth. So as you can see astronauts do not go hungry.

It might be difficult to transfer from earth to space. Even though it might be very different, it is a life experience. After all that is what astronauts are trained for.

I enjoyed Mr. Gianforte's presentation, I learned a lot. The thing that I most enjoyed was learning about the different galaxies. I also enjoyed when he showed us his pictures through his telescope. I think that it was interesting to show us all the pictures that he had found. It also interested me to find out that Mr. Gianforte worked with the telescope at the University of New Hampshire (UNH). That is what I learned from Mr.Gianforte's presentation.
