In math class we have been following certain stocks, that we have chosen, over a few months and now we are doing a project about it. I invested in AT&T, Pier 1 Imports, Coca Cola, and Microsoft Corporation because they were doing really well and I thought that I could make money off of them. I also chose these stocks because I researched part of their past and they had been doing well but the downside of that is that you can't research the future. This essay will tell you about why I chose these stocks and how they did over the course of these six months.

       I have invested in AT&T, Pier 1 Imports, Microsoft Corporation, and Coca Cola because I thought that they would all have a positive outcome for me and because they seemed to be doing well at the time that I was investing. One reason that I chose AT&T is that I have it as a phone plan and it has been doing very well. Another reason is that A lot of people have AT&T so I thought that I would get a lot of money from it. I invested in Pier 1 Imports because my teacher recommended this one to me and said that a student made a lot of money off of it. Another reason that I invested in this stock is that the prices were rising and I thought that I would make money. I invested in this because it was around Christmas and the Xbox 360 and Kinect had just come out so I thought I would be making money in it. I invested in Coca Cola because I researched the stock and it was doing really well so I thought that I would make lots of money off of this stock. Overall I think that I chose pretty good stocks.

       The advice that I would give someone on investing in the stock market varies on the stocks they are asking me about. Definitely research your stocks before you buy them. I did some research and found out that AT&T had been doing really well and it was rising so I decided to invest and it worked out pretty well. Take advice from your elders about it. I needed one more stock to invest in and my teacher told me about how a kid, a few years back, invested in Pier 1 Imports and made lots of money so I took her advice and invested, it worked out very well! I made tons of money off of it! Don’t think about where it is now, think about the future. I thought about how it was Christmas time and how kids would get Xboxs and Kinects but I didn’t think about after Christmas and I lost money in that stock. See if the company was making a lot of money before you invest in it. I only looked at how Coca Cola was doing now, not at how it was doing in the past, and it was doing well. But it turns out, in the past it was roller-coasterish so I didn’t really know what had happened. I got advice from other people, but I also gave myself advice and it worked!

       As you have seen in this report my stocks did very well, with the exception of one of course. I really enjoyed working on this project. It was something that I've never really thought about doing, but now that we have done it as a class I'm interested in maybe doing it in real life when I'm older. I think that I chose some pretty good stocks, and got some pretty good advice on how to choose them, so overall I enjoyed this project and I am very glad that we did this!

I chose to make this flag  because the penguin is a large part of the life in Antarctica and they are one of the most interesting animals in the world (in my opinion). I put the Emporer penguin and the Macaroni penguin because the emporer penguin is the largest and it has a yellow marking on the side of its head, the Macaroni penguin has orange feathers on its head and that is what made it be called a macaroni penguin. Also I put jellyfish on each corner because they inhabit almost all of the climates in the world and Antarctica is one of them. I put starfish in the border because when Ms. Ellwood brought back pictures she had some of starfish and these are a few of the colors that they are. I wrote that it is the coldest continent and wrote below zero in ccrazy letters and I wrote that it is the windiest continent and I drew a picture of wind on the other side. I worked really hard on this flag and I really liked learning about Antarctica.

In science class we are learning about Antarctica. It is very interesting to know about what animalslive there, how they survive, and all of the cool facts about the continent itself. This graph is about how far under the ocean an animal can go and how long they can hold their breath underwater. The animal that can dive the farthest is the Sperm Whale and it is huge!!!! The Weddell Seal has the can hold its breath the longest. Antarctica is very cool and interesting!

                                                        The eye is a very interesting part of your body. The parts of the eye that are visible are some of the most important parts. One of them is the schlera. The schlera is the white part of your eye that blocks some of the light that goes into your eye so that it doesn't blind you. Another is the iris. Your iris is a muscle that opens and closes your pupil to make it adjust to the light and the dark. Your pupil is a hole. You have a lens over your pupil to help you focus on things, so if you don't have as good of a lens as you should you have to wear glasses. Your cornea is a protective, clear coat over your eye. If you dont have a cornea or if something is wrong with it dust particles and other things could get into your eye and it would hurt. Also you might not be able to see if there is somethign wrong with it but now you can get a cornea transplant so you  will be able to see again. Your eyelashes, eyelid, and eyebrow all offer protection for your eye. The eyelashes and eyelids clear the stuff out of your eye so if there is sand in your eye they will help get it out. Your eyelid makes things go away from your eye so if your in the shower and the shampoo goes down  your face and starts to go into your eye, most of the time the shampoo goes away from your eyes and down your face. There is so much to learn about the eye. I really enjoyed learning about the eye in science class!!
