Shark tank Simulation
Hi EVERYONE!!!
This is a chart of a game that I played in science called shark tank. There are Minnows, Sharks and Seaweed. It is a simulation of populations. There is a shark that can run and the shark has to eat 2 minnows by tagging them If the Shark eats 2 extra they have a baby shark. The minnows have to avoid the sharks but the Minnows can’t run and the minnows have to tag 1 seaweed to survive. If it tags 1 extra it has a baby. The seaweed can’t move and if it survives it has a baby. This was the first time we did this and I think we should have done it better by having a strategy. With 2 minnows sacrifice themselves. Then the other 2 minnows eat 2 seaweed.

Apple vs FBI
HI PEOPLE!!!!!
In class a few days ago we discussed the incident with the FBI trying to get into a dead terrorist’s I phone. The FBI said that Apple should make a skeleton key that they give to the FBI. A skeleton key can open anyone’s I phone. Apple said “no.” I agree with Apple because the FBI could go into anyone’s I phone, like mine and I don’t wan’t the FBI looking at my personal stuff. I talked with my mom and she is on both sides because she needs her privacy, but she wants the FBI to get into the terrorists phone. I want Apple to make the skeleton key but quickly destroy it after they look into that guy’s phone. So they don’t look into mine.

Docent talk at Brooklyn Museum
Hi People!!!
I gave an Egyptian docent talk about materials and my experience was annoying and good. I felt annoyed because when I started to talk a lot of people from different schools kept taking pictures and yelling and screaming. So I had to yell really loud for my classmates to hear me. It felt good because my classmates kept asking questions. That meant they were listening. One thing I learned about note-taking is that I have to say the sentences in my own way . When it comes to taking notes, I used to put what is in the book but now I say the sentences in my own ways . I learned how to avoid playjerise. One thing that is still challenging for me about note taking is to know if the info you take is true.

Book partnership w/ Charlie: When you reach me
Hi People!!!
My partner, Charlie and I read When you reach me . Our partnership was fun because Charlie is a good friend and I liked reading that book with him . I’m proud that I read the book without saying “it’s too hard”. Or “I can’t do this”. One challenge for me was choosing the homework because there were so many options and maybe I wanted to do one thing and Charlie wanted to do another.

gun Violence post
HI PEOPLE!!!!!
A week ago in middle school meeting we all had a discussion about how it is to easy to get guns. We watched a video of president Obama saying stuff about how there should be a fingerprint code for your gun, just like your phone. He also said there should be an app called “find my gun” just like find my Iphone. I think there should be an interrogation to get a gun. You would have to check in with a policeman and they would check in with you to see if you can handle a gun. I think this should happen because now you wont lose it and then someone will not steal it and use it
Oh that rhymes.
hopefully my idea works and that becomes the new law.

Art Reflection 1st Quarter zoetrope
Hi People
This is my zoetrope that I made in art. A zoetrope is a little slideshow of anything in 12 slots. The slideshow is on a piece of paper that you put in a bucket with shaders and you spin the bucket around. It looks awesome. My zoetrope slideshow is about my favorite soccer team, Leicester city in England beating a Spanish team called Barcelona. In the last 12 seconds of the game my favorite player on the team, Jaime Vardy scores and Leicester beats Barcelona 2-1.

My shelter in Western Siberia.
Hi People!
This is my model of a shelter in Western Siberia in 8,000 BCE. I chose this piece because at first all my partner and I had was a cardboard box. I totally forgot the materials. We asked some kind and generous people for some and they gave us some. We worked hard on gluing, taping and cutting out. The learning habit I focused on for this piece is collaboration because Tess and I didn’t work on the same part and we planned ahead.
