European Union

One thing that was frustrating yesterday was that it was hard to get from place to place. With the new EU citizen thing it was easier except for doing it with U.K. or Poland. I tried to avoid going to those countries. Today was also better than yesterday because we didn’t have to exchange as much and do all that much. It was also a pain to wait in line for people who took a long time yesterday too.

Amazon Land Use.

I am defending the Environmentalist because they are not trying to harm the rainforest and are just studying plants by it and finding ways to cure plants. The Environmentalist have only tried to protect the rainforest and stop the clearing of it. The Environmentalist are only trying to protect the rainforest and its plants and animals in it. The Environmentalist also allow the rubber tappers to come in tap their trees because they are not trying to harm the rainforest.

I disagree with the loggers and cattle ranchers because they are trying to clear the rainforest and are just making a mess of it. I also disagree with the settlers because they are burning down the rainforest which also kills plants and animals which is harming everybody. I also disagree with the native Amazonians because they are killing animals in the rainforest.

Immigration Day

Immigration Day

                         Immigration day was a great experience for me, I never really realized how hard life could be somewhere else and how hard moving somewhere else could be as well. One person that spoke to be us was Jean Luc. Jean talked to us about how when he first moved here he didn’t know much english and how he went to a restaurant and tried to order but the waitress couldn’t understand him and so his friend ended up ordering for him and he ended up getting a Hamburger and said it tasted nasty and he has never ordered one again. Jean Luc also told us once he got to Michigan it was winter and he walked outside and it was icy and he slipped on the ice and fell on his hand and dislocated his finger and ended up going to the IR and having it put back in place. He said that he found out that the medical bills in america are way more expensive too and that he could have gone all the way back to Honduras got his finger put back in place and drove all the way back for about the same price. He said that after that he went to the store and boutght himself a pair of boots because he didn’t want to slip on the ice again. He also told us that the weather in Michigan is way different then the weather is in Honduras.

I think was important for us to hear about because else we won’t have a perspective of what immigrating is like and realize how difficult it can be to just get a visa like J.P. Did. I think Immigration day affected me greatly by getting to hear other peoples experiences of immigrating somewhere and all the struggles they had to go thru to come to the U.S.

Hearing these people share about their immigration story’s definitely changed my perspective on immigration and I learned that it can be much more difficult to immigrate somewhere then I thought. I really never knew that you had to go thru so much to immigrate, I just thought you would have to get your stuff and move there and I learned that is much more difficult then that like when J.P. moved here and had to stand in knee deep water and hope to get a visa when barely anybody there even got one. I also think it was really cool that J.P. Told us that his mom said that if it is God’s will for you to get a visa he will make the crabby lady give you it, and if he doesn’t want you to get it he won’t give it to you, and the crabby lady ended up giving him the visa and he was the only one that day to get a visa out of like 1,000 people. I would definitely say that I am glad I got to hear all the people talk that did, and I think it changed my perspective on immigration big time and i’m really glad I got this experience.

MATH BLOG

I had trouble with lesson 3-4 where we had to divide a problem and move the decimal. I figured out when I graded it that I would always put the decimal in the wrong and I went back to the example and realized I had to move the decimal one place over to the right. I ended up getting almost all of the answers right but the decimal would be in the wrong spot so they were technically wrong. So I ended up doing them all over and then I realized what I did wrong.

Example- pg 110 #14

81.00 divided by 0.09

so if you do 81.00 divided by 0.09 you get 0.9

 

I might have to use in life to pay workers for a job if I have to pay them all their money they’ve earned I might have to divide it up and pay it to them.

Say you have 5 workers and you t0 pay them each 100$ then you could do 5 divided by 25.

5 divided by 100= 0.05

Modern and Ancient Stable Food supply is very intersting .

In Ancient Stable Food Supply we learned that Nile river is there main water supply they use it to water crops and to drink and to use for regular stuff like dishes. We learned that they had lots of food and that the high class people would invite people over and have parties. In Modern Stable food supply there food supply is in danger they are having the Nile dry up and not getting lots of crops and with low water and food they get annoyed. So I hope you learned a lot about ancient and modern food supply.

Reflecting as a Learner

1. Content

A. I am enjoying learning about Earthquakes in science class. It also was fun learning about the layers of the earth and how yoke of the egg is the core and egg white part stood for the upper mantle.

 

2. Skills

A. I am learning in Math to learn how to make box whisker Plot in math and Line plots and we each had to make one of these in our museum Groups.

3. I  learn the best when the teacher explains the topic to the whole class and when I learn from when they explain it, I can also learn fine in groups just better when the teacher explains it.

My Favorite Book

My favorite book is  Josh Hamilton Beyond Belief

Because Josh is a christian man who is good guy and has a cool life story Josh had some ups and downs in his life but is a great guy in my mind.In 2010 in the home run derby he hit 32 home runs in the first round but the second round he hit 2 because he was out of power he lost to David Ortiz a great player too. Josh is a great christian man and thats why that was my favorite book.

 

 

Hot Diggity Dog

As a class we did a project called Hot Diggity Dog and we were put in groups and had to measure a restaurant and after we figured this info out we presented to Mr. Jongekrig there were prizes at the end and we had a great time.

Our group did a great job figuring out math stuff of our project we did great job multiplying large numbers.

We could have measured better we had some numbers a little off.
