This unit in science class, we've been learning about cells. We learned the parts of the cell and their functions. For example, the vacuole, found mostley in plant cells but sometimes in animal cells, stores the water, waste and other products like these for the cell. We also got to look under microscopes. We looked at a variety of single-celled organisms, like amoebas.

I'm reading The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolken. So far, I'm liking it. The main charactar Bilbo Baggins goes through a pretty big adventure with a group of dwarfs. Bilbo isn't really up to the adventure, though.

I felt that working in a group like this is hard. I think that groups just within the school would work better. I liked learning about poetry and poets. I didn't know much about either poetry or poets before this unit. In conclusion, I think I would have rather done the project on my own. Then I don't have to figure out what other people are going to do. I would also not have to spend that much time to make a decision.

This year, I want to work out more. I made the IS team for football this year, but next year won't be as easy. I also want a good time on the mile run post test in PE. 

I don't know much about ancient Greece, but I do know what we've been doing in Humanities. First of all, at the end of the day, we do "The Fates". Basically, one member of each group roles a die or spins a spinner. Then, the teacher reads something that happens to your city-state based on the number rolled or spun. This is the main way city-states gain or lose points. We have also been doing other stuff that relates to ancient Greece like learning the Greek alphabet. 

I kind of liked this blogging experience. Sure I didn't get all my blogs in and now I am likely to get a bad grade, but I liked it. My favorite was probably the first one, "7 Random Facts". I also liked the one where we explained our favorite mysteries. My least favorite is definitely the Rachel's Challenge one. I hope we will do this again next semester.

I am thankful for food, water, and air. Without food, life would be sad. Many great cuisines would be nonexcistant. Without water, there would be no sodas. No water means no sugary drinks! Without air, we would die before we could think of any other good things about air other than it's essential to life.
