First week of school

Today was my first week of 7th grade. I am still doing half-time home school. The subjects that I have at school are band, bells, science, choir, German, and art. My favorite subject is art. I got to have a pajama day yesterday because my principal is awesome! If you are Home-schooled, leave a comment below!

Apollo 11

Happy 50th anniversary of Apollo 11! Last weekend I went to see one of the last film shows at the science museum before they switch to digital. I got to take a free piece of film home afterwards.  The movie was about the Apollo 11 mission. After that, I went to the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit, which had a lot of copies of his inventions, like his flying machine. I liked it a lot. Bye for now!

Science fair

There is a science fair at our school. I am going to be a part of it this year. My project is about chocolate chip cookies. (what kind of sugar makes the best cookie) I am really exited

Camps this Week

This week in drama camp we are working on a play. It's called Mop Top. It's from Norway and it is very, very awesome. I get to be a troll girl and mess my hair up as much as I want. Then my costume is green and it looks splattered with mud and I also have a leg band made of green mesh. I get to wear face dirt and black makeup.

This week I also have laser printing camp. I'm the only girl in my class. Yay! Today we are finishing all of our projects including the boxes and the living hinge. I might be able to finish my keychain. It's going to be so awesome!

Animals

May 20 is Endangered Species Day and there are many cats that need help. Take the Jaguar for example, it was hunted for its beautiful coat. The Jaguar lives in South America it is an endangered animal it only lives in the Amazon rainforest. There are two tribes of Indians in the rainforest, are the yanomi the mabuti they are Indians that live in the rainforest. An environmental problem that affects the rainforest is that there is a long road cutting straight through the rainforest.

Wildlife power.

If I could be anything, I would be a wildlife biologist. Why? I love being able to be around animals.

Weird Weather

Today I had a thunder storm. It is not supposed to happen!!!! It was supposed to snow! Why?

oh! what weather can do!

on Saturday there was a tornado warning! There was circulation in the clouds! We drove home Sunday. Then the windshield wiper broke!(the rain did it)

Spring break!

On Monday we went to the Mall of America.We had a Mystery Ticket. It was for a whole day of rides! We went on rides until I realized it was after 5:00 and I was hungry. Then we ate at Noodles & Company and had dessert at Cold Stone Creamery.

Yesterday we went to the Science Museum with Uncle Jon and his friend Kim. It was fun! I tried to pull the fish with my hands and then I stepped on the part I had pulled so I could pull the rope down more. I also played with the hydraulic circuit.

Community Showcase!

We went to a community showcase at the high school where Papa went. We saw lots of his marching band trophies, played a fun matching card game, built a bird house, broke boards with our feet, and used iron filings to dust for our fingerprints. The police man told us that no two fingerprints are exactly alike, even on twins! That's why they can be used for identification.

Science fun!

Yesterday my sister and I did Snaptricity circuits for science. We tested our light circuits by going into the basement to see how bright it got. We also powered a fan and made it fly up into the air. Circuits can help move electricity. For a circuit to work, it has to be a shape that connects sides or the electricity won't go through.

On Monday we learned about Canada lynx. In the winter they are whitish gray and when it gets warmer they turn more brown. They change colors so they can blend in with their habitat. Their coats are also thicker in the winter to keep them warmer. Canada lynx don't hibernate, like some animals. 

One animal that hibernates is a groundhog. When it's hibernating it only breathes once every six minutes! Some animals don't get enough oxygen in the winter, like fish. Sometimes the water freezes and there isn't enough oxygen in the water. Then the fish die, and this is called winter kill. Then in the spring the dead fish get washed up onto the shore. That happens at the park near us. Then it smells funny, like dead fish.

Sometimes school is hard

I'm learning division right now. It's hard - even harder than multiplication! I'm also getting extra science. Some in the morning with my mom, some with my class. I read about Hawk Mountain and woodpeckers today.

I get to read a lot too. I really like fantasy fiction. Last time I was at the library, the librarian showed me how to find the ones with stickers on the spine that have a spaceship or unicorn on them. My mom says that was her favorite kind of book when she was younger, and she loves to read my books to make sure I'll like them.

Snaptricity and Water Safety

My sister and I did Snaptricity this week. We made parallel circuits. That's when you can take one piece out but the other loops keep working.We also learned what happens to the volts when you add or take away a battery.

We also learned about recycling and how things are recycled, and water safety. You should always wear a life jacket on a boat, and don't dive in water if you don't know how deep it is. Always swim with a buddy to be safe.

My Mom's Birthday!

This week was my mom's birthday. We ate at Noodles. In art we used teddy bears to learn about lines. I also learned about lots of animals in my favorite magazine, National Geographic Kids. I get to do school with Kjirsten too. We do Spanish and religion together. I'm learning how to proofread letters too. I like math this week. We're learning about reading diagrams.
