Margaret’s Blog

I think people who bully each other are bad people because the hurt people or people’s feelings.   They can really hurt someone phsically and mentally. Like if someone hurt you and they have to go to the hostpital because when the got hit the fell and hit there head there may be brain damage. They can also become dumber from an head injury. Here is a picture of an older bullying a smaller kid.

On Thursday we had a surprise contest. Min Tae won first prize. I forgot the other winners. The prize again was chocolate. The question was when was the Effifel Tower opened to public? The answer was June 10, 1885. Ok that is all I have to say.

1. In Math Class, we are learning about maps and about their scales. We are also learning about proportions. This is important to learn because when you have to travel then you would know how many miles it really is. We are also about to take a Chapter Test. We also did Mad Minutes(which is like a test with a certain about of math equations in an amount of time) ,and Mental Math games, today we also did a Jonas Bonus, (which is where we have some information and we have to figure out the ages of the Jonas Brothers which is a new band.) That is what we are doing in Math Class.
2. In Science Class, we are had a test on speed, velocity, gravity, friction, and inertia. We also learned about the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Law of Motion. For next week I think we will be reporting lessons. That means that we go into groups and then pick a lesson to study and teach the class. We are also going to do experiments. That is what we are doing in Science Class. 
3. In English Class, we are reading a book called “The Giver”. It is a book about a perfect community, if they were bad they were kicked out of the community. They had no choice of their spouse, they had to apply for children, they were assigned jobs, they also had a lot of rules to follow. At every age they get something new like at age 9 they got a bike, at age 12 they have no more birthdays and they get jobs, those are only some examples. We are on reading 8-10 tonight. We have vocabulary quizzess and  book quizzes on “The Giver”. That is what we are doing in English Class.
4. In Social Studies, we are learning abot Central America. We were reviewing our tests today and we picked groups for our vodcast. A vodcast is just like a newscasts. In Central America we are learning of the places like Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, El Salvador and others.
5. In Physical Education (P.E.), we are playing flag football. We are playing flag football because our P.E. teacher doesn’t want us to get hurt from takling.
6. In Computer Class, we are just finishing up unfinished blogs and looking at our comments and other peoples blogs and writing post. We also are learning how to use a SONY Digital Camera - DSC-S30. so we can use it later on for our picture blogging.

Today we had a surprise contest to see who can log in and get to the dashboard on our blog the fastest. Daniel won 1st place , Alvin won 2nd place,and Masako won 3rd place. The prizes was chocolate. Then we had another contest the question was ” What is 7 times 12?” Isaac won that contest and again the prize was chocolate. Well it’s okay that I didn’t win because it was just for chocolate and I can always try again next time. We should also have prizes like other candys, pencils, erasers, simple stuff, so that the prizes won’t be to expensive. We should also have contests like that again and other simple questions and maybe best blog contests, or best images on blogs contest. I also think that Friday is a good day for people to catch up on their blogs if they didn’t do it. Friday is also a good day for putting posts in there correct categories. We mostly put our posts in the category Computer. That is all I have to say .

Today we had to find pictures of candy, shoes, animals, and cartoons.

For my candy picture: I put Toxic Waste because I think it is good but sour.

For my shoes picture: I put a Gel shoe that is red, I put that because I want that shoe.

For my cartoon picture: I put a picture of the Simpsons Family, because I like to watch “The Simpsons”

For my picture of an animal: I put a picture of a Siberian Husky, because I think the way the dog looks is nice.

It was easy to add pictures first you have to save the image and then you can upload the picture. We used the fox picture from Cartoon.com. We could pick anything we want later on but for now we used the fox. We should always write where we got the picture because the owner might think you where stealing.
