Brooklyn Museum
My experience giving my docent talk at The Brooklyn Museum was hard. I felt like it was hard to give the talk because the part of the museum that had my topic was closed for a renovation. One thing I learned about note-taking is that when I write in full sentences it is easier to present my ideas. When it comes to taking notes, I like to write in phrases, but when I give my presentation I like to write in full sentences. One thing that is still challenging for me about giving a presentation is not to keep looking back at my notes a lot. 
Reading Partnership
My partner and I read Tuck Everlasting. Our partnership was good because when somone forgot their book or read ahead no one got upset. I’m proud that I had a good partnership because my partner is not my closest friend. One challenge for me was not reading ahead because the book was so good I kept on wanting to keep on reading. 
MLK gun violence
Me and my family talked about how the laws changed. If you bought guns in gun shows you didn’t need a back round check, but now you do need one. It is the same with some other types of things like gun shows. The 4th amendment says that you have the right to bare arms because people thought you should be able to protect themselves. Some people don’t use them just for hunting or to protect themselves.
Some dangerous guns like machine guns you don’t need for hunting or to protect yourself. People say that they are aloud to carry around dangerous guns like machine guns because of the 4th amendment. But you do not actually need dangerous guns for other things but people have them anyway. I think that the new laws are good but some people think that the government is trying to take guns away from them. That is what me and my family talked about.
My texture paper collage
This is my texture paper collage. We started by picking a color scheme. You can choose secondary, primary or analogous. then we made six different texture papers. We made different textures like smooth, bumpy, swirly, fluffy. Then we drew still lives of everyday objects like a stuffed animal, a vase, and a bouncy ball. Then we cut up our texture papers and put them on our pictures. It made an awesome collage! I learned what an analogous color scheme is, it is three colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. I think that I did my best work!
Zoetrope
This is my Zoetrope. It is an animation where you draw a bunch of little pictures.You spin it really fast and it makes the animation. It spins in a cylinder that has holes in it so when look through the holes, and the cylinder is spinning it looks like a animation. I learned useful ways to fill in the space, like drawing little circles. I think this is an example of my best work, I worked really hard on it.

This is my math quiz. I am proud of it. I am proud of it because I think I did pretty good. I worked hard on it. I was challenged by question six because I was little confused. I think I have improved on prime factorizations.
Ashokan trip
This is the pond at Ashokan. During one of our classes we went here and tried to find macro invertebrates.
My Atom
In science we are learning about the parts of an atom. We had to make a model of an atom. The different parts are the neutrons and protons are the ones in the middle, and the electrons are the ones in orbit around the protons and neutrons. To get the numbers of each you have to subtract the atomic number (the number in the top right corner) from the atomic mass (the number on the bottom) then that is the number of electrons. The atomic number and mass of a hydrogen atom are one, so that means that the number of electrons is one because they have to cancel out each other. There is one proton because the atomic number is one. So on my atom there is one proton and one electron.
