Hello Everyone!
I am going to talk about an important thing our world Systems. Systems are like well every thing that has to do with anything like Decomposer ets dead things and then Plants come from the Compost of the Dead Animal then plant are eaten by like deer and other herbivores then the herbivores get eaten by carnivores like leopards and other big cats like that and bears and wolves and the carnivores would die and then the whole thing starts over again. So say we take away the Herbivores, the Carinvores would starve and if we take away the carivore there wouldn't be enough food for all the herbivores and no plants means no food for herbivore and that means no food for carnivores when all the herbivores die and with out decomposers the body would rot slowy actully making the world unhealhty with all the dead bodies. So With out one animal the world would fall into sheer chaos.........

5 Paragraph Essay -- 05-22-08

2008-05-22T13:58:58-05:00

Here is my 5 paragraph essay on the evnts that led up to the Revolutionary War.

British Taxes on Colonists
By Eragon
After the French and Indian War in the (17 50’s to 1763) The King of England Desperately needed money to pay his army to make the Colonies safe (Harcourt,263), The King had already taxed the citizens of England enough so he decided to tax the Colonies. The Colonists agreed to this deal but were still a little angry (January, 7); who knew at this little tax could help start a war.

This tariff or tax law was later known as the Sugar Act because it taxed all of the goods like sugar, flour, molasses and other and other foods from the British trade. Most colonies had a charter that granted them able to make their own laws and have Militia to guard them (Speare,70) King and Parliament could still make the laws. The Colonists were mad but what made them furious was that they had no say in British Parliament or what King James was able to tax.

The Sugar was lifted but then a tax called tee Stamp Act. The Stamp Act taxed all things l made of paper so newspapers, playing cards even books had to be taxed. A special stamp was given to show that this person had paid the tax. The colonists were furious but still people said it was fine and that we owe the King for keeping us safe from the French And The Indians. People made fun of the stamp by making a phony of it with a skull and cross bones. Later in the year James Otis said the famous quote that was a rally cry fro colonists everywhere
“No Taxation without representation”
Now all of Boston Will buy no paper. Then The Stamp Act congress came around and protested against the law so finally the repealed the tariff and things were fine until March 5th 1770

In 1770 British Troops occupied the town of Boston and lived in people houses fro free! Then on March 5th 1770 Things got ugly. A group of colonists were harassing British Soldiers and throwing nasty slush balls with rocks in them when then the soldiers panicked and opened fire on the group.
5 Colonists were killed, it later was known as The Boston Massacre. This event brought the Colonists to declaring war on England.

In 1773 all the taxes had stopped but the one on tea. Tea was like coffee and people drank it allot because water was really dirty back then so a Group called The Sons Of Liberty on December 16th 1773 the colonial group disguised them self’s as Mohawk Indians and boarded 3 ships in the Boston Harbor (Maestro, 6) and dumped all the tea, but nothing else was harmed, but hen all the tea was dumped, the total cost of 1 Million Pounds! That was the last straw for the British, in 1774 they closed Boston Harbor and brought mo0re troops and people HAD to give them shelter! This was also the last straw for the colonists, the made the Continental Congress which had delegates from all 13 colonies and they met in Philadelphia and so then to discuss what to do about the British. (Shanzer)

So in 1775 it was war. So that is my 5 Paragraph essay of the events that led up to The Revolutionary War It took America 8 years for independence, but in 1782 the Treaty of Paris was Signed and the war was over. (Carter)

Mountain School -- 03-20-08

2008-03-20T15:44:58-05:00

Hello Everyone!
I have not wrote in a while because I was at a fun place called Mountain School. Mountain School is located on a range of mountains 94.2 miles from my school and 103.3 miles. Mountain school is cool because you get to stay in Lodges that are like a small hotel and then there are cabins in side the lodge where you sleep. Montain school is a place where you take hikes, learn about the environment,learn about wildlife, learn about animal signs and much more. There are no electronics like computer and PSP'S and DS's so it is cool like that, a friend and I made up that we were"really roughing it in the wild." I mean there was a libary and a dining hall! It was the most awsomeist place ever. Some of the animals we saw were beavers,ravens,eagles,squirrels,deer and then the most coolest animal ever... A WHITE DEER!
I am not kidding there was an all white non-Albino deer there! IT WAS AWSOME! So there is a little example of what Mountain School is.

Sincerely,
Eragon

Final Assignment -- 03-13-08

2008-03-13T14:18:51-05:00

Iditarod
Final Assignment
By Eragon

Hi mom and dad! I believe for our family trip we should go to the Iditarod. It would be educational event because you can
Learn about why they started the event. Alaska is one of two the
States outside of the continental United States of America, it would be a wonderful thing, it would be a whole new adventure for the
Family.
I bet even my annoying sisters will like it. It is fats paced and it will be
Totally worth it in the end. I believe Alaska will be the place to go for our
“Educational” family trip.

The history of the Iditarod is this…
In 1925, in Nome, Alaska there was a terrible disease called diphtheria and all the medicine was gone so a group of sled dogs went to Anchorage and back to Nome and got all of the medicine to
The ill. So some years later someone organized the first Iditarod and so now every year musher race from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska to see whom the. The first Iditarod took place in 1973 with a total of 34 mushers. The winner of the first Iditarod was Dick Wilmarth. People come from allover the world to compete in the Great American Sled Dog Race the Iditarod.

Here is the weather in Alaska…
Now I won’t lie but Alaska is cold and it is snowy and all those things but
I believe it would be fine we could buy warm coats and wool socks. Just let’s not get frostbite (except maybe my little sister Rosy) I mean it is warm in the summer but we would be there in the winter and I know the average temperature is about 19 Degrees Fahrenheit. But still I bet you 5 bucks it will be worth it in the end

The Geography of Alaska is there is allot of snow and mountains
And there is a lot of mountains one are Mt. McKinley the tallest mountain in North America so maybe we could go there after the Iditarod. Now back to persuade you to let us go to the Iditarod, There are several rivers one is the Yukon River which run from about North to South in Alaska there are many ranges one is called the Alaska Range. So there are a couple of things about
The Geography of the Iditarod

Now it is about the Mushers and Sled dogs
A couple mushers are Gerry Willomitzer, Jeff King, and Matt Hayashida and many more. Some famous sled dogs are Balto, Hot Foot and a lot others. Most sled dog is Alaskan Husky but some are a bread of Wolf and Dog,
Siberian Huskies and Alaskan malamute and some other types of dogs.

So those are 5 reasons my I believe we should go to Alaska. I think it would be the funnest Family trip in the History of the Family (well maybe, I guess that trip where dad fell off a cliff was good but you know what I mean) so in conclusion I believe we should go to Alaska to see the Iditarod.

Sincerely,
Eragon

Lexington and Concord -- 02-20-08

2008-02-20T16:00:19-05:00

Hello Everyone!
How are all of you doing! I am here to talk about the First American Revolution Battle's Lexington and Concord. After the events of the Boston Tea Party the British blockaded Boston Harbor then in 1775 The Sons of Liberty stole munitions from a British fort and hid them all over the Boston area. Then General Gage found out about it and then asked Lieutenant Colonel Franicis Smith to lead 700 Redcoats. Luckily Paul Revere found out about the invasion plan and someone to hang two lanterns in the steeple Of The Old North Church. One lantern meant that the Britsih were ariving by land, two lanterns meant the british would come by sea. Paul Revere
rode his horse to Lexington to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock and then patriots in Concord to hide the munitions in there barns and houses. Paul never makes to Concord the British block his way but Paul Rever met Dr. Samuel Prescott and he was not captured and and made it to Concord. Then at 5:00 AM an advance force led by Major John Pitcarin arives at Lexington. There are 75 Minutemen led by Captain John Parker, then Major Pitcarin yells at the rebels "Dispierse Ye' rebels, Dispierse in the name of the King!Lay down your arms!" The Patriots do not move but then a gunshot rings out(The Shot Heard 'Round The Wolrd) Then the British open fire on the americans killing 8 and wounding 10. The British march on too Concord then find out the muntitions were moved so then they try and tear out The Old North Bridge to stop the Americans. Then when the Americans were in range the Britsih fired on the Patriots 2 were killed many injured but then the Americans fought back and chased the Redcoats back. But the Americans did not stop, the Minutemen came from all towns and pursued the British all the way back to Boston. This battle was the start of the American Revolution, the war lasted 8 years bloody years. Next week I will talk about The Battle Of Bunker Hill.

Field Trip -- 02-06-08

2008-02-06T17:11:43-05:00

Hello Everybody!
I am here to talk about our latest field trip. We went to the local high school and we heard the chior, orchrestra and band. The chior was very good and enjoyed it and the only bad part was I had to sit on the hard floor, but otherwise very good. Then we went to the orchestra and got to sit in the comfy theater chairs and the proformence was amazing!( I can't wait until I can play the viola like them!) And it was very cool. They had this thing called a "pit" where people playing instruments and also where some of there storage is. Then we wne t to the band it was LOUD! I mean it was just loud! My poor friend Legolas was right in front where the drumline was! In all though they were very good.
When I get to high school I am going to be in orchestra.

Sincerely,
Eragon

P.S.(The Field Trip ROCKED!)

Bullying -- 02-04-08

2008-02-04T15:36:32-05:00

Hello Everyone!
I am here to talk about Bullying.
Bullying is where only one person is being mean to someone,if two people are being mean to eachother it is called conflict. Bullying happens all the time it can either physical hurting or mental hurting. Physical bullying is tripping or punching or kicking and others, Mental bullying is when someone teases you about something and manipulates your mind. You can see bullying on
at scholl on the school bus and at recess and in a lot of places. If you tell on someone it is not tattling on someone, tattling os when you try to get someone in trouble, it is called reporting and it is the right thing to do! So bye bye for now.

The Boston Tea Party -- 01-29-08

2008-01-29T15:44:49-05:00

Hello Everyone in the world! Where I left off last time I wrote is where I will start today: The Boston Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party was an action by the a group called the Son's Of Liberty.
The reasons why the colonists did this is because British Parliment had taxed the tea and this made the colonists down right angry! Another event was the Boston Massacre when British soldiers killed 5 Colonists. So on December 16, 1773 Colonists diguised as Mohawk Indians whent aboard 3 British ships and dumped all the tea onboard the ships, but nothing else was damaged on the ship. Then when British Parliment heard about the so called "Tea party" they blockaded Boston Harbor(or blocked the harbor from all ships)and then made the British General Thomas Gage the Mayor in Boston. (Next week will be the Battle Of Lexington And Concord)

Eragon

Social Studies -- 01-25-08

2008-01-25T16:12:34-05:00

Hello Everyone! I am here to talk about what we have learned about the Amercan Revolution in class. First some British citizens sailed to America for religous and other freedoms. They then started 13 Colonies some Colonies were Virgina, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and the Carolinas. Then in 1754 the French And Indian War started, this war cost The British a lot of money to pay the cost of war. The when the war ended in 1763 the damage was amazing the British gained new land for the colonists, but then the British decided to kick the Americans out of some of the new lands fro the Indians who helped fight for the British, this angered the colonists but they still were ok with it. Then Brithish Parliment decided to make the Colonists pay for the war that was fought to protcect them, the called tis law the Sugar Act because the colonists had to pay an extra price on goods like sugar and other things. Then then thee was the Stamp Act which ment all items printed on paper had to have a special stamp on it, this law made the colonists furious! But then the Britis parliment took away all taxes except the tax on tea! The colonists refused to pay the tax and instead bought Dutch tea instead but the the British stopped the Dutch trade in to the colonists. Then all these events led up to the Boston Tea Party...

Eragon

The Holidays are different in all ways and people celebrate giferent Holidays some celebrate Christmas some celebrate Kwanza,Hunnakkah,Boxing Day,St.Stevens Day, The Winter Solstice and many more. My family celebrates Christmas. On Holidays you give people presents and then they give you presents and have your family all together and eat good food and have fun together!
One famous saying is "Tis' Better to give then receive." But then I found a spoof that said "Tis' Better to give then receive,or is it the other way around!" For Christmas I am with my family in the Midwest and I have a great time!
What would be your favorite gift to receive? I do not know what mine would be. I had to travel by car to get here and on the way I saw Mt.Rushmore which is a carving of four main presidents George Washington,Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt (or kown as Teddy Roosevelt) and Abraham Lincoln ( or Abe Lincoln). And do not worry Professor McGonagall I got plenty of pictures. So I wish you Happy Holidays and A Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Eragon

Revolutionary War -- 12-11-07

2007-12-11T16:22:32-05:00

Hello Everyone!
I am here to talk about a very important event in American history called the Revolutionary War.
The Revolutionary war started in 1775 when British colonies thoght they were treated unfairly
by King George The Third because he was taxing them unfairly and would even tax there tea! So in 1773 The colonists dumped British tea into Boston Harbor. Then in Lexington 1775 the War of Independence started. The Americans were up against the strongest in the world at that time. The British soldiers were called Redcoats and the American soliders were called Minute Men. Some notable battles were the Battle Of Trenton when General George Washington crossed The Deleware River on Christmas, The Battle of Princeton, The Battle of Saretoga and then finally the Battle Of Yorktown were General Cornwallis of England surendered. The Americans had the help of France and Spain who gave the American uniforms and guns,and then helped the Americans beet the British at Yorktown! So there is a quick rundown of the Revolutionary War!

Subtraction Problem -- 12-04-07

2007-12-04T16:14:22-05:00

Hello Everyone!

I am here to show you a problem using the beastly/easy method to solve a subtraction problem. So here is my problem

713-478
First you would break the numbers up so you would cange the 70 in to a 60 and a 10 and break up the 8 into a 5 and a 3. So the problem would look like this

713-400=313
313-10=303
303-3=300
300-60=240
240-5=235
and there is your answer! So now I hope you understand the beastly/easy method a bit better.

Sincerely,
Eragon

Subtraction -- 12-03-07

2007-12-03T15:44:16-05:00

Hello Everyone I am here to to talk about a very important math subject called subtraction.
It is very important in every day life like if you baking you need to know how much you are giving to people and how much you are giving yourself. Here is a quick subtraction problem,
57-33=24, now the problems we do in my class are like, 971-693=278, so you can tell that we do lots of hard math or a least kinda hard some are easier than others, now for me I am pretty good at math so some stuff seems a little easier. Now what are strategy in class is called Beastly/easy which is where you break up bigger numbers into numbers that fit the number you are subtracting so like if the number was 8 and you were subtracting 6 you would break 8 into a 6 and a 2. Then go through some more steps and now you have the answer! So now that I told you more about subtracting I hope you like it more!

Sincerely,
Eragon

Computers -- 11-29-07

2007-11-29T17:21:39-05:00

Hello Everyone!

I am here to talk about computers!
Computers are something that you can get all your homework on and get cool information off the internet if you have internet you can paint a picture on paint or work on typing on ultra key and you can do a whole a lot of stuff. also people should use the computer to only do appropriate stuff and not to bad stuff like create a computer virus or something bad like
that. Computers are very handy so it would be best not to do anything bad. But still computers are just the best! They are like the best inventions ever to be made!

Thanksgiving -- 11-22-07

2007-11-22T21:45:47-05:00

Hello World!

I am here to talk about a very nice holiday called Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving dates back too 1621 when the pilgrams had a fiest with the Wampanoag indians. The feast was pssible by an Idian named Squanto. Squanto helped the pilgrams by teaching them how to grow crops and hunt for meat like deer or pheasant. So then aftera good harvest the pilgrams decided to invite the Wampanoag for a feast later called Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was pronounced a holiday by Abraham Lincon but then Frankiln Delonar Roosevelt put the holiday on the 22nd of November. So that was some of the history behind Thanksgiving! For Thanksgiving my family sometimes go back to our family for Thanksgiving or have friends over at my house. Food at that Thanksgiving in 1621 may of had deer ans corn and other crops and meat. Now food consits of turkey and greenbean casserole and cranberry sauce, but the holiday has only changed a little! So wishing you a happy Tanksgiving!

Early Release Days -- 11-16-07

Hey Everyone!

I am here to talk about early release days. Early release is when all kids at my school get out 3 hours early. Right now there are parent teacher conferences so we get to have early release days all through the conferences. Early release's rock because you can have friends over all the time! I went over to my friends house yeterday and today he is comeing over to my house!
Also it gives you a chance to relax and just sleep and play video games all day or something like that. Early release's are very fun! Do you have early releases at your School?

Baseball -- 11-15-07

2007-11-15T13:09:14-05:00

Hi Everyone!

I am here to talk about my favorite sport Baseball. I have been playing baseball since I was two! My dad also likes baseball a lot. Baseball is fun because you get to hit a ball and play on a cool field! My favorite posittion is either Shortstop or Center Feilder, I am also a good hitter. Baseball to me is the best sport in the world, i like it because you can run and hit and do a lot of stuff. Baseball is also good for physical health, it tests your endurance and helps you build up your muscles and helps you not get hurt as easily. Baseball canb played with gloves and bats, not the animal type because they will fly away or not hit the ball far. My favorite Baseball team is the Knsas City Roylas and my favorite player is Carlos Beltran.
So this is why a like Baseball!

Sincerely,

Reading -- 11-14-07

2007-11-14T14:32:49-05:00

Hi Everyone! How are you doing? I am here to talk about my favorite subject in school reading. I really like reading because if you pick a good book it is very good just to read for a while. The genre that I really like to read is adventure fantasy or somethingn like that. The book I am reading right now is called The Golems Eye, and it is a very good book. Other books I recomend are Dragon Rider, Eragon, Inkheart, The Theif Lord, Inkspell(The Sequel to Inkheart), The Amulet of Samarkand(The book before The Golems Eye) and the Artemis Fowl Series, and of course many more. Reading you could do all day! I mean if you pick the right book and if it is exciting you can read for a long time, reading in my mind is very good.

Arsenal -- 11-14-07

2007-11-14T14:23:18-05:00

Hey Everyone!

I am here to talk about my favorite soccer team Arsenal. Asenal is in the English Premiership league, it is probably one of the best scoccer leagues in the entire world. As I said in my SPORTS Dragon Blog American soccer is terrible! English soccer though is totally AWESOME!. Arsenal colors are red and white, thee emblem is a cannon. My favorite player on Arsenal is Cesc Fabergas he is midfielder. Right now Asenal is tied for the lead in the English Premiership, they are tied with Manchester United. Asenal and Manchester are rivals sort of like the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees only less hurting and stuff. Arsenal is a very good soccer team and I hope you learn more about them.

Sincerely,

Fun -- 11-13-07

2007-11-13T16:14:02-05:00

Hello Everyone it is Eragon again and I am here to talk about fun! Fun is something that you feel when something good is happening to you or you are doing something that you really like. Fun to me is playing with legos and having friends over and playing with my cats and a lot of other stuff
that is fun to me. Everyone has diferent things they find fun, and that is a good thing because if everyone liked the samething we would all die of boredom or something like that. Fun is probably one of the most important things in life
with out it things would just be boreing all the time. So fun can be really anything it can be from playing video games to doing math problems so in conclusion FUN is very important!

Veterans Day -- 11-09-07

2007-11-09T17:29:18-05:00

Hello Everyone,

I am here to talk about a holiday called Veterans Day. You might call it in another country Remberance Day but they are the same thing. They remember the people who served in the armed forces like the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force and Coast Gaurd. My great uncle served in the Air Force and was a navigator on a B-1 bomber. The holiday was anounced
after World War 1, the holiday is a good one in my mind it helps remember the people who sacrificed there selfs for there country. I have a uncle that is in Germany right now, almost ready to head to Kosovo. Veterans Day is on the 11th day of the 11th month, but most people just call it November 11th. So I hope you enjoy Veterans Day so good bye!

Catapults -- 11-08-07

2007-11-08T12:28:47-05:00

Hello World!

I am here to talk about my classes latest science experiment. Our experiment was catapults! It sounds like we built real catapults but we did not, instead we built something called a flip stick and then put into a blue base and then atached a white angle thing, so it was not realy that much fun but it was sort of fun. We used corks as the stuff to fling and then we used foil balls. We set it up and measured distance and height. We also did in science paper airplanes, life boats and really weird airplanes, so science has been really fun. Catapults were not as great as I expected but could really fling stuff far.

The Golems Eye -- 11-06-07

2007-11-06T16:15:24-05:00

Hello Everyone!

I am here to talk about my new book called The Golems Eye By Jonathon Stroud. It is the second book in the Bartimeus Trilogy. I read the first book and it was really good, it was called The Amulet Of Samarkand. The books are about a genie named Bartimeus and a magician named Nathinel. But all magicians must always pick a different name for a reason I can not tell you! Nathinel picked John Mandrake as his new name. so this book is really good and I suggest this book for anyone who likes magic.

Lego's -- 11-05-07

2007-11-05T18:30:39-05:00

Hello Again! I am here to talk about one of my favorite toys called legos. Lego's are building toys and you can build how ever you can! Lego;s come in sets with instrctions on how to build the set itself but you cand build it how ever! I like them because they can break and you can re- build them over and over again with out them breaking in two. Lego's are bricks and stuff like it and are very fun. Going back back to the breaking thing it is like, you buy a new toy and then it breaks the secant you get it home. I mean that is how some toys are I mean it is INSANE how easily some toys break! i mean legos break and you can put it back together like it was or build it differently. There is many types of Lego, there are Star Wars Lego, Harry Potter Lego, Castle Lego, Mars Mission Lego, Batman Lego, Lego City and Bionicle. Bionicle is not really Lego in one sense but in another way it is very much alike. Well that is all the time i have right now so salutaions!

Now all theese i-pods I have talked about have mini screens so then you can see music videos. Then there are the Nanos. I know nano means tiny but are not tiny, I mean there smaller than most i-pods. There are two types off nanos but one got discontinued so now there is only 1. It also holds movies but can only hold like 2. It is 4 Giga Bites. Now here is the small one the down right puny one. It is called the shuffle, now all other i-pods have screens but this one does not. It is only 1andhalf inches! It only has 1 Giga Bites worth of memory. Now All i-pods come in different colors and all memory also varys on wich type you get. So I have to go so I will see you later!

Halloween -- 10-30-07

2007-10-30T16:14:15-05:00

Hello Everybody
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. And the reason for the OOOOOOOOHHHHHh is that it is Halloween tomorrow and it will be awesome! I love it because you get so much candy, some people eat it all in 1 week and get drunk off it and hallucinate by seeing real monsters and just kids and adults dressed up like crazy! I mean Halloween is great and all but why do people eat all there candy in 1 week or something totally ridiculous like that, I mean I still have not finnished my Halloween candy from last year and it one day from Halloween. I guess I am sort of a pack rat. But I do like the costume part, it si sort of fun in all you know dressing up like your favorite person or something like that. So in conclusion................... HALLOWEEN ROCKS!

The House Of The Scorpian -- 10-02-07

2007-10-02T16:00:32-05:00

Hello Everyone!
I am here talking about my new book called The House Of The Scorpian, It is by the same author as The Sea Of Trolls Nancy Farmer. The book is about a kid call Matt who is a clone, what thet did to make Matt is they took a piece of skin from the person who Matt was cloned after, there was fifty cells oterwise 50 clones but all died exept for Matt. So The book is divided by age 0-6,7-11,11-14,14. and one after when He is older. The book takes place in Mexico by the U.S. This is more of a sci-fi book but is really quite good. Now I am guessing that Matt will try to escape. No one likes him, they all call him a beast and animal, so know likes him except 4 people at the little City really. It just a large house and many other houses.
I will keep you posted on the book.

Sincerely,
Eragon

No New Water -- 09-28-07

2007-09-28T15:42:17-05:00

Hello Again!
I am talking about no new water.

It is true that there will never be any new water, it does seem wierd but alas is true. So the water that is here today is the same water dinosaurs had. I know you think the rain would help but it takes water from the ocean, lake, river or any body of water large enough, rian does not just fall from the sky! Unless you don't belive I will tell you again, THERE IS NO NEW WATER! But the good news is that 73% of the world is water. So water gets sucked up from the ocean which is called evaparation, then the water make cloud which is called condansation and then the water falls which is called Percipatation. So if we pulloute the water now there will be no water for people later so if we polloute now we will be as dry as venus.

Being Sick -- 09-24-07

2007-09-24T17:05:11-05:00

Helllo Everyone Again!

I am here to talk about being sick. It is really bad being sick, though sickness can be either a little cold like just a soar throat or it could be the flu! Or the measels or chicken pox! So being sick can be a little cold or something horrible. Now the only good thing about getting something bad is that after you get sick is you never get tat same exact illness ever again! So say you get the chicken pox you will never get it again! Now it may seem that it is the same it is not. Also being sick you get to sty home from school. Now most kids like that but I do not like missing school at all! I know most people be happy to get sick and s tay home from school but for some reason I dont like to miss school.

I have to go so talk to you later!

Sincerely,
Eragon

Strings -- 09-22-07

2007-09-22T14:47:03-05:00

Hello Again For A 9th Time!

I am here talking about an extra activity I do at school which is called strings. Strings Is where we play a insturment from a orchestra, violin, viola and cello. Cello is prounouced Ch-ello not se-llo. I play the Viola. It is more larger and longer and more deeper pitch. Most people play the violin because it is more famous.
The cello is just to harmonize the sound. We have about 50 people doing it this year! It will be so fun when we get really good at it. A lot of my friends are in strings. All the 5th grade kids can do strings. All you have to do is rent or buy an insturment from a music store.
If you are in 5th grade and you still have time time to sign up I suggest you do it!

Here I am speaking again!
Sincerely,

Pendulums -- 09-17-07

2007-09-17T17:00:38-05:00

Hi World!

I am here to talk about pendulums.They are swingers which calculate time. You start with a string, then a paperclip, then tape, then a washer or penny and finally a pencil and masking tape. Pendulums very fun to make. If you have a longer string it swings less times then a shorter string which swing more times. But wheight does not effect it in any way. You could put on 10 pennies but you would get the same amount as if you had 1 penny. Pendulums are just so fun!

Your's Sincerely,

Prime numpers in math are numbers with only one factor pair, like for an example the only factor pair for 11 is (1-11) And that ithe only factor pair for 11. Most prime numbers are odd except the number 2! All composite numbers have two factor pairs most are even but numbers like 9,21 and 25 are all examples of odd composite numbers but most are even. My thinking has really stayed the same, I learned this from 3rd grade and almost forgot but then remembered this year.

Sincerely
Eragon
