Me and Ashley made a word problem about a girl who was wondering if her ohone fit in her pocket. We made a 2d pocket and then printed a picture of a phone. We cut and measured correctly so that it was the exact size. We then figured out the problem and found out that Izzy, the girl in the word problem’s phone would fit in her pocket so that she won’t loose it.
I think that the string will work that best because it won’t break. I think that the paper might be a problem because it could rip when we put the weights on. We didn’t use popsicle sticks because it’s hard to make them into rings, and we used string because it is strong and won’t break.
So far this year has been really great. One thing I have enjoyed was camp, it was fun to learn about being leaders. One thing I have learned is that the elementary kids look up to us 8th graders, and how important respecting our teachers is and listening to our classmates is. One thing I am looking forward to is Timberwolve.
In science we made boats to race. We used styrofoam for the main part of the boat. Then we rapped the styrofoam in tin foil. We added two sails to catch the wind and make it go faster. We put four straws on the bottom to keep it floating which worked good so it didn’t drowned. I think our boat will have a good time.
This summer I did a lot of things. I had some supper exciting days and some boring days. Two days after school got out I went to Virginia. Then we drove to Washington D.C. which was very fun. Then at the end of June I went camping with three other families. We went to the Christian Reformed Conference Grounds. That was a very fun week. I went up north to my cabin a few times with my cousins and grandparents. We did a lot of tubing, fishing, skiing, kneeboarding, swimming, and games. I swam in both of my cousins pools a lot and I also swam, kayaked, and paddle boarded in our friends pond a few times.
2. What did I get out of it?
3. What was hard?
At the beginning of the movie, they showed a road, and on one side there were white kids playing rugby, and on the other side, there were black kids playing soccer. Throughout the movie, the black people didn’t have anything to do with rugby. Then towards the end, they started joining together through Nelson Mandela.
The young kid at the very beginning was playing soccer with all the other black kids from his town. Towards the middle of the movie he was given a rugby jersey/shirt and he refused to take it. Then, at the end of the movie during the rugby world cup, the young kid was outside the stadium trying to listen in on if the South African team was winning. Well, when they won he got very excited. So he changed from not liking rugby at all, to getting very excited when they won.
My understanding of Africa has changed a little, I had an idea of Africa being poor, sick, hot, etc. But now I realize Africa is very diverse. Not all of Africa is hot like a desert, during the wet season it can get pretty cold, and now that I know how diverse Africa is I know that not all of Africa is poor or sick like I thought. Some of Africa is, it kind of depends where you are. I always knew Africa had animals we don’t see every day but they also have animals we do see, like goats and other animals. When I thought about the people living in Africa I thought of black, sick, and poor. But actually, not all people in Africa are black. Some are but quite a lot aren’t. Also, not all people have access to medicine like some people do. The more wealthy people have a connection to the internet and to a cell phone.
