Shark Tank Simulation

On our spaceship the the shark represents the human crew because the shark and the human both are the masters of the situation. The minnow represents our animals because both of them eat and are eaten. The seaweed represents the plants and trees in our green house room because the seaweed and the plants are the most important things in the food chain because minnows require the seaweed to stay alive and the sharks require the minnows to stay alive. On our space the animals require the plants to survive and the crew requires the animals to stay alive. This way we have a balanced food chain.

 

Scratch Post

In d.lab we made games on scratch about something we’ve learned this year. Mine was about dodge ball. I think it was a good idea to do because it shows if we’ve been listening in class. It also shows what we’ve learned this year. I picked dodge ball because I love P.E and because it would be a good challenge.

French Post

This year I think that It’s really good that we get to do different languages than Spanish. French has been really fun. I think that we’ve had a good time learning and having fun while doing it. We learned numbers up to 100. We also learned some foods, cognate’s, and colors. Some things we did in french class are watch video’s in french. We played some games, We did a Halloween project, and we did some work sheets. My favorite thing we did was the Halloween project. That if I got into a conversation with someone french I could navigate it if it was simple.

atom

screen-shot-2016-10-27-at-9-06-40-am October 27,2016. This is my model. I think my atom is most like J.J Thompson’s electron model because it has lots of different “Particles” all put together in one tiny ball. My model is made out of red, orange, and yellow clay. I think I understand atoms a lot more than I did partly from having dan as a teacher. After studying atoms in science I think I understand more that atoms are just tiny balls that are in every ting around and in us. Today is a new day. October 28, 2016. in science today we learned new things about atoms like the nucleus is the middle of the atom. Inside the nucleus there are things like neutrons and protons. Protons are made of a positive charge. Neutrons are of a neutral charge. The nucleus is surrounded by electrons that go by at a speed that would burn human skin. thanks for reading.

FOREST OF WONDERS

The book I read over the summer is called The Forest of Wonders. The author of my book is named Linda Sue Parks. My book takes place in two main places, Gilden and The Commons. The two main characters are Raffa (an apothecary prodigy) and a talking bat named Echo. The main problem is that Raffa lives in The Commons and his cousin and uncle want to move to a city called Gilden. The reason why it’s a problem is because Raffa wants to go to Gilden with his uncle and cousin to be a better apothecary but his parents won’t let him.  

An event that changes the direction of the story is when Raffa meets two girls named Trixen and Kuma because when he’s with Trixen they get arrested for trespassing. A big decision Raffa makes is when he decides to run away from The Commons and go to Gilden. When he got to this moment: “Raffa pictured himself arriving at Gilden on a morning ferry.”

I loved this book for many reasons. The writer did a good job of adding twists and turns, like when Raffa and Trixen got arrested. The characters were really funny, like how Echo (the bat) would say “skeeto, skeeto” when he was hungry for mosquitoes. The places seemed very real, like in the city Gilden where the people were very interesting. The kind of reader who would like this is a person with a big Imagination because in my opinion this is the best kind of fantasy. I rate this five stars.
