I'm Loving 7th Grade

Article posted November 7, 2009 at 08:28 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 75

I'm in 7th grade now and I have new teachers new friends, and new classes. I liked the homework I used to have. The homework is a little harder in middle school but I can handle it. I miss all the teachers from my other school. Well that's all for now. Hope my teacher has great students!

Pluto

Cynthia

      The marvelous thing about Pluto is that it is smaller than Earth’s moon. Pluto can be closer to the Sun than Neptune because of it’s elliptical orbit. Pluto was discovered in the 1930’s by Clyde W. Tombaugh in Arizona. Pluto was named after the Roman god of the underworld. An accurate measurement is 2,400 km across. Pluto is mainly ice, it most likely has a small rocky core which might have some kind of metals. The icy surface contains frozen nitrogen, methane and carbon monoxide. Pluto is very cold, the temperature changes from -387 to -369 F˚. The marvelous thing about Pluto is that it is smaller than Earth’s moon.

Skyping Argentina

Today March, 17, 2009 we skyped Argentina. They are a 5th grade class in Buenos Aires. When we started skyping the first group did their presentation. We were next. So we did our presentaion. After everyone did their presentation we sang the Home Means Nevada song. Then we asked them questions like what kind of food do they like. They all screamed PIZZA. Then we asked them what the weather was like there. They told us it was hot and sunny. We also asked them what sports they played. They all screamed SOCCER. They told us they all speak Spanish and German, 12 speak English.

Skyping New Zealand

Today we skyped a class in New Zealand. We sang Home Means Nevada to them. Then they sang a song to us. They play sports like soccer and rugby. We asked them what kind of food they liked and a boy said Chook which is chicken. We asked them what music they liked and they said Green Day. Luis showed them his skateboard and they thought that was pretty cool. Their school is 1st through 6th grade.

The Important Thing About Kangaroos

Article posted February 19, 2009 at 10:04 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 538

The AMAZING thing about Kangaroos is that they are the national symbol of Australia. Often when people think of Australia they think of Kangaroos. The Red Kangaroo is about 6 ft 7 inches tall. The Red Kangaroo is about 13 to 16 mph. The Antilopine Kangaroo lives in the grassy plains and woodlands. Kangaroos have grown special teeth. Their teeth is able to crop grass very close to the ground and it’s molars grind the grass. But the FANTASTIC think about Kangaroos is that they are the national symbol of Australia.

Blogging

Article posted February 13, 2009 at 06:51 PM GMT0 • comment (1) • Reads 467

I have been blogging for 3 years. Next year I’m moving out of Mr. Crosby's class so I don’t think I’m going to be blogging anymore. The thing that I’m going to miss the most about blogging is reading blogs and leaving comments. I enjoy doing that because I can tell people the experiences that have happened to me that have been the same or similar. When something exciting happens I just feel like telling whoever, so I just post it on my blog and receive comments. Most people think schools shouldn’t be able to blog because we don’t learn anything. But we really do learn something. When you leave comments you double check the comment and we learn to check our story’s better and better everytime we do it. We also learn to read better because when we read posts we get better. The thing I wish I could do more often is comment on blogs. I just think commenting on blogs is fun. I think the hardest thing about blogging is correcting mistakes, I just don’t catch all the mistakes which makes it really hard for me.

The Important Thing About The Sun

Article posted February 12, 2009 at 09:39 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 311

The meaningful thing about our star the Sun is that without it there would be no life on Earth. The Sun is as hot as laying on the beaches sand on a hot summer day. It is always there in the day because of how the Earth orbits. It shines brightly on our Earth. The Sun makes me glad not sad. But a significant thing about our star the Sun is that without it there would be no life on Earth.

The important thing about kittens is that they are cuddly. They are soft, they are playful, and they lick their paws. But the important thing about kittens is that they are cuddly.

The History Of Mexico

Article posted February 12, 2009 at 06:44 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 238

The Olmecs idolized a jaguar God, built cities, and constructed huge stone head carvings. They expanded throughout central and southern Mexico until their civilization mysteriously disapeared around 400 BC. The Olmecs left behind only a few
artifacts.
The Mayans were so ahead in mathmatics and atronomy that their calender was the best until this century. They could also tell when there was going to be a lunar and solar eclipse.
In 1848 a war with the United States ended with Mexico losing amost half of it’s teritory.
Then France invaded Mexico in 1861 and ruled until 1867.
