Go Big or Go Home was my book of choice!I wanted to read this novel because the back cover discription looked like something I would read. An exciting moment is when Brady was almost hit by a meteorite.Brady also valted over a buffalo bull, which was also very exciting.I would recomend this novel to any one who likes astriods and extreme stuff but wants it to be good.I say this because it's about an meteorite, extreme stuff, and is short but well writen.

Claculator

Charles Babbage invented the first automatic calculator, which he started in 1839 and perfected in 1871. This was a large step toward the small, flat calculators with screens that we have today. Its appearance is a large machine, taller than an adult, with lots of gears and wheels. This invention helped us do equations quickly and accurately. Math would be a lot harder without the calculator. Be also grateful for the first small calculator though. It must’ve been quite troublesome to use a large, complicated machine full of gears for a few math problems.

I'm interested in spacecraft. My favorite is SpaceShipTwo, the flagship of Virgin Galatic. I like this topic because they are bringning us closer to the future, and I like SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE! I know that the first maned spaceship was Vistok 1, the ball like space craft that went up into orbit, with Gigarin inside. The first reusible spacecraft to be made was the Enterprise, the shuttle that never went into space, but was operational(it was a prototype). You can see it in the DC. The first Shuttle to go into space is no longer with us, it tragicly failed on its last voyage. You can go into SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE to, on SpaceShipTwo, for the low price of $200,000!

What Is a Zamboni(R)?

A Zamboni(R) is a car/cart that scrapes, cleans, and smoothes the scrached-up surface of an ice rink after a round of skating. Before this invention, resurfaceing took over an hour to do! In 1939, Frank Zamboni bulit an ice rink in California, named "Iceland". Getting fed-up with resurfaceing the ice by hand, Zamboni set of to create the worlds first automated resurfacer. He did in the end, and he called it the Zamboni(R), which is a must-have at ice rinks today. If there wasn't no Zamboni(R), if you wanted to do more skating, you would have to stay at the rink and get cold for a lot longer..............
Our wonderfuly wonderful wonder words for today and their defenitons are:
compacted: squshed, chushed in to a smaller space
resurfaceing: the process of scrapeing off the cut-up layer of ice and smoothening the layer of ice below on an ice rink
Zamboni(R): the only fully automated ice resurfaceing machine!

Poetry thinks

I enjoy Shel Silverstein alot. Topics I favor are mostly silly nonsense, out of the blue poems. I am good at finding end rhyme, onamonapiea, and repition. These are the most easily seen, sence they are most often on the starts an ends of lines, and onamonapiea is often CAPITALISED LIKE THIS: BLOOSH!
I think I'll use these devices on my poetry myself. My poems are mostly silly, out of the blue poems, but I have to be less out of the blue on my weather poems, but I still like them.

Would you like to hear of the terrible night when I bravely fought the-no? All right.
This poem is by Shel Silverstein, one of my favorite poets! It has his very funny style, and it is my favorite poem! I like this poem because it's so funny! I also like how it ends abruptly!

It's not the sun, it's not the moon, it's not mount Everest either, well, we're not exactly sure on whats's the biggest thing we can see thouh a telescope, but the largest thing we can see with the bare eye is the Andromeda Galxy, which is comeing STRIGHT AT US. There is many larger galxies out there, but most can be only be seen though the largest telescopes, like the Hubble and Kech oberbatory. Now a new telescope is being added to the list. The Thirty Meter Telescope is due to be constructed in 2018. Thirty meters is nearly a hundred feet across! T.M.T will help us answer our original question.
Wonderful Wonder Words:
PEER: To look though something to look at another. TELESCOPE: An instrament that gathers light, makeing things look bigger. HUMONGOUS: of large size.

Danish Chistmas

The Danish tree is adorend with Hand made paper ornaments. Up in Denmark, the days are long, I mean really long, so the trees get more time to grow. This results in space between the brances, so that candles can be placed on the tree. On Chistmas Eve, most of the presants are opened. On Chistmas day, the Danes have a who-can-find-the-alomond-in-the-rice pudding contest. The winner gets a marsapin pig. They dance around the tree, singing Danish carols, and have wild goose or turkey for dinner. In my opinion, Denmark has the merriest Chistmas of all. No wonder. They used to be the happiest contry in the world.

Hello Im doing a short reveiw on George Washington: Spymaster. It's about George Washington's years as a Spymaster.G.W.: Spymaster is a non-fiction book by National Geographic. So far, the Rev. war has started, they spied, George Washington crossed the delaware, they spied more, and brave Nathian Hale was hanged by the Britsh-for spying. My favorite character is is George Washington because he is very smart and without him we might of lost the war. If you don't like spying, this might not be a great book for you.But if you do, it's great!
