My Observations on Terrariums

The way we set up our terrariums are that we put enough soil and we did not dig the holes so big and when we put the seeds in the correct holes then we watered the seeds but we didn't overflow them. My observations on the terrariums are that the pea grew really tall and since we covered the top of the terrarium all the water could not evaporate so the sides were sort of foggy.

Now i will talk about the bugs. The bugs i observed on were the beetles and the isopods. I figured out that the isopods prefer the soil more than the sawdust and the beetles mostly prefer both. Most of the beetles died because there was too much light in the terrariums there was not enough darkness. Even though i didn't observe the foods they eat. They mostly like to eat the apples and some carrots, but the isopods don't really eat anything.

These are mostly the things i observed with the bugs and the soil and plants and the food they eat too. Science was really fun when we made the terrariums.

Having An Awesome Time In Camp

This is a picture of my group which is Cari, Bobby and the polgar which is Nick and me (Rita) . In the picture my group and me were in the cafeteria at camp. It was really fun because first we chose someone to be the polgar and we dress them up and whoever gets more claps is the winner. My group did not win though. Instead of only dressing up a polgar we learned making things with strings in the fire place room with Mr.Reed.

In the cafeteria we got to eat mac & cheese, and tacos and snacks like pretzals and etc. There is also this person called the "hopper" and that person has to get all the food for the people at your table. When i was the hopper it was not fun because it was taco day and taco day was not fun because everyone at my table wanted tacos (which are really good) and i only got to eat 2, but it was still okay.

My favorite part about camp were when we got to eat, and the long hikes in the classes. But I really liked when we got to dissect the owl pellets and the night activities were really fun too. I did like the polgar activity beacause we got to dress someone up and whoever gets the most claps wins. Camp was really fun.

Our Awesome Foss Plane

In this picture it shows Brendon and i (Rita) testing out a Foss plane that we both tried to make.

The way me and Brendon made the Foss plane is by first getting 2 Popsicle sticks and shaving the ends off by using sand paper, then we got 2 straws and cut them in half and slided them through the bigger straw, (they were dangling sort of) after we put the half straws in between the 2 Popsicle sticks and Mr.Reed stapled them together, then we got a propeller and 2 hangers we stuck one on the back and one on the front we stretched a rubber band on each hook.

We tested the plane by testing out how many winds it takes to go all the way without hitting the chair across the room it took 25 to go all the way, then we tested how much winds it takes to go half way and that took 20 winds to go half way.

After Mr.Reed said that we could try out different rubber bands and i learned that the bigger the rubber band the less winds it takes! It was a really fun experiment.

Movies, Movies, and More Movies

Today we are going to the movie theater to watch the movie Hotel For Dogs (but we didnt we watched a little bit of it on the computer) the movie was funny but it also was a little bit boring, and exiting at the same time. And my dad got us new movies like Bolt, Igor, Madagascar 3 Escape To Africa, and a new Open Season i did enjoy the movies because they all had 2 things in common first they both were funny, next they both had a funny charector in them. But from watching all those movies my eyes started to hurt so i ate some carrots and fruit salad with a smoothie. Well thats what i did on Sunday, i watched ALOT of movies!!

A Super EXITING Day I Enjoyed!!!

I am writing about a very exiting day about my DAD!!! The reason i am writing about this is because my dad just came back from the army (Iraq) and when he came back i was so,so happy and my family and me had a good time with my dad we went to allot of places like McDonald's, Meigher, Kroger, Sam's Club, and the Mall. The next day was my dads Birthday and we went wherever my dad wanted to go and we went to my dads moms house, and my aunts house we saw all of our cousins there it was very exiting!! We had a great time with my dad and i am really, really glad he is here. Another way my mom said that we should spend time with my dad is by going to Kalahari because they made new cool stuff there and last time we went there almost every ride was messed up, but now my dad will have fun on all the new rides. So today was almost the best day of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I am still exited now)!!!!!

Study Your Words

Today is the spelling bee! Even though I am not part of it I still want to write about it. The students in my class that are in the spelling bee are Maggie, Brendon, Sho, Daniel, and Casey. I really hope our class wins but i will be a good teamate and vote for Mr.Harrisons class and Mr.Reeds class to. I am really exited to watch all of the students try their best.

Barack Obama's Inauguration Day

Today the whole school is watching about Barack Obama's inauguration day! Now Barack Obama has been sworn into presidency or the white house which is a big deal, because now Barack Obama is going to be our first African American as a president. And he has already made his big oath so I hope that he actually will be a really good president and keep his promises. I do believe that Barack Obama will be a good president. I would like Barack Obama to stop the war and maybe lower the gas prices. This is a exiting day to because he will be our 44Th president. And this is what happened on inauguration day!!
