Over spring break i watched the NCAA tournament. It didn't go the way i wanted. Iowa State lost to UAB (University of Alabama Birmingham) 59 - 60. Also over spring break my family painted our family room. We moved my computer and my brothers upstairs. So now i don't have to freeze in my basement in the winter playing games. Other than that i was doing what i was every other day not over spring break. Except the NCAA tournament that only on in March. Well that was a overview of my break.
Yes i am posting again before spring break. Today i am blogging about Tooth traditions. Many contrary are different but some are the same as us in the USA. In the USA we put are tooth under the pillow we sleep on and when we wake up there is money from the tooth fairy. In other contrary they do other things. Like in Brazil some children throw their tooth outside and ask the birds to take it. If it doesn't have any cavities the will take it. Other kids throw there tooth on there roof while asking Saint John to take it and bring them a healthy tooth. That is very different to us. Next i am doing Japan. Children in Japan throw there upper teeth in the dirt and there lower teeth on the roof. The thought is that the old tooth will grow towards the new one. Very different than to us. Either way us kids loose the tooth that is loose and do something with it. Also i might blog one more time before spring break otherwise i probably will after and talk about what i did. Well thanks for reading this. Also here is a picture of a tooth.
More vocab words for the win. Yes we did another animoto on more vocab words. The words are inequality, negotiate, inspiration, injustice, and plight. Next week i will not do one because it is spring break. This might be my late post for the next 2 weeks. I have one week off for spring break. I will have fun. Here is my video. Yes we are still doing vocabulary animoto video. They are still fun to make and i made this one this week. The words are Gloat, Fame, Agitated, Dubious, and Confrontational. Here is the video. This week in school we are doing elements of poetry. I took a picture of the poem from school fever By Brod Bagert. There are rymes in the poem like most do. The pattern goes like this ABCB for each stanza. Well here is the picture of the poem then.
Today i did another Animoto vocabulary. This week we have been doing lots of stuff on segregation so they all relate to segregation. Well here it is. This week and last week we have been doing a project on Colonies and we did Massachusetts Bay. I worked on it with Alexis, Mya, and Griffen. It was fun doing it. Here is the video This week in reading class we have been doing Elements of plot which goes like this. Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, and then conclusion. We used Pixar shorts with the elements of plot. We watched a lot this week. They where funny at times. We also have done Vocabulary word Again. That you can watch down below this. The words are Dub, Hoist, Fling, Avid. I made another Animoto for this. And if you are wondering after the video. "Did he use the same background 2 times?" which you might be yes i did use the same background 2 times in a row. Well here is the video below This is a animoto for the vocabulary we had this week. We did a ta-blow which is acting the words out like statues and we did that in class. Well here is the video Today in math we are doing Pie charts and we are using Skittles. Online i made 2 pie graphs of the classes skittles and my skittles. Mine is on the left and the classes is on the right. The larger a sample is the more accurate. It was fun doing this in math. Also if you are wondering, I ate the skittles.
