Our goal is to teach how to learn, not what to learn.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger374125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983307110706038382.post-86315755703084092702013-06-24T06:41:00.001-07:002013-06-24T06:41:29.090-07:00Last week of school Day 171-175Sophie spent Day 171 on the road to Boxborough to visit the Colonial Skating Club for a couple of lessons. She read the second Kingdom Keepers book on the way. She learned a lot from the coaches down there and worked hard during her lesson. <br />
<br />
Days 172-174 have been spent working on Daily Spark in the morning sun on the deck. She worked so hard for these two weeks that we suspended doing DS, therefore we did two lessons per book in the morning: Spelling & Grammar, US History, Spanish, Shakespeare (Romeo & Juliet), as well as the Giggly Grammar book, a Shel Silverstein poem, and a story from Ancient Egypt. <br />

Then she went off to skating and in the afternoon she completed one of her final unit reviews.<br />
For science she wrote a 7 line, 7 stanza, Shel Silverstein inspired poem with the repeating phrase "Did you know" about all the cool stuff she learned about science!<br />
<br />
She also planned, prepared, and created a 3-D Egyptian Pyramid Project for History.<br />
<br />
For writing she compiled 7 pages of her best writing for this unit as her Writing Portfolio.<br />
<br />
To demonstrate her Spanish learning, she has translated and can read in Spanish a children's book, Level 2 reading and I will film her reading & translation work for her final review.<br />

<br />
For music she will perform and I will record two songs--one on the piano with voice and one on the guitar with voice.<br />

<br />
We decided to skip a math review. She continues to work through the second Danika book and we will begin in September for her 8th grade year with the Math Minute book, as well as a new Math workbook, and she will finally learn how to use a calculator!<br />
<br />
As for her reading, she is reading!!! Novels!! Because she likes them! So no review. Just encouragement to keep reading! <br />
<br />
On the last day of school, Day 175 of 7th grade, we will film her Spanish and Music reviews, watch the Baz Luhrman movie version of Romeo & Juliet, do the last Daily Sparks of the year, and get ready for her Les Mis themed end-of-year party for family & friends.<br />
<br />
It's been another fantastic year full of learning and adventure! Sophie continues to mature into a lovely, poised, smart, capable, considerate, thoughtful young lady and I am so proud to be her teacher and her mother. <br />
At the end of this year I can say that Sophie is a self-directed learner who understands and enjoys that the world is full of wonder and knowledge and every day presents an opportunity to learn and grow as a human being and citizen of the world. Sophie works her best in the mornings, after a good breakfast and without a sense of rushing. She likes and appreciates following a schedule and a syllabus. Usually in the mornings we had some time that takes the place of a public school homeroom, where we reviewed the schedule for the day and I laid out the books she needed to work with and made any clarifications or answered questions. She liked the process of finishing her work and putting the book back--much like checking items off a list.<br />
<br />
We keep a weekly calendar with the days of school and the expected work for the week. She likes to check in with the calendar daily. We keep her desk with the 3 piles of books: the ones she is currently working with daily to complete her 7 x 7 (these are unit-specific), next to that are the Daily Spark books (which did change a little throughout the year but generally remained the same grouping of books--this is also where she kept her working notebook,) and the final pile (which grew bigger as the days of school ticked by) are all the books she has read for the year! <br />
<br />
On Friday, Day 175 that will be the last pile. We have a few books: the writing notebook, the Math book, some of the Daily Sparks books that we will carry over to next year. Otherwise all the other books--and there are a lot!--will go into a plastic tub labeled Grade Seven and up into the attic. <br />
<br />
Sophie Calderwood is an excellent student. She is every teacher's dream student. She works hard, she is responsible for her work, she finishes tasks on time and without complaint, she writes clearly, she is eager to learn and willing to ask questions. She learned a lot this year and she is ready to be an 8th grader and have all the amazing adventures for our year abroad in Singapore! <br />

long before his thoughts turned to Cleopatra again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Antony treated Octavia with the greatest of
respect because she was the sister of his rival. He knew that Cleopatra was the
richest woman in the world, and because he was the feather to her twins, she
gave him much gold and silver to pay his soldiers. I learned that Antony issued
a large number of silver coins designed to show the world that he and Cleopatra
were a powerful couple, on one side of the coin was a portrait of Antony, and
on the other side was Cleopatra. Antony gave Cleopatra beautiful treasures that
money could not buy, like the Cyprus which he gave back to Cleopatra to restore
Egyptians rule. I learned that serpent rings, coiled snake rings and hawk
headed earrings were some of the most famous Egyptians jewelry. Antony and
Cleopatra were officially married and the Egyptians supported her a lot and so
did the Romans, she made peace with both countries.</span></span></div>

the afterlife, you would live with Osiris the God of Death, in the field of
Reeds. I learned that at first, the Egyptians thought that only a Pharaoh could
leave the tomb and travel to live with Osiris in the Field of Reeds, but then
these ideas changed and the people started to believe that if the living
celebrated your death ceremonially, then you could have the right of passage to
the afterlife.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mourners gathered at the
homes of the deceased to begin the long procession of the tomb. They dragged
the mummy over land on a wooden sled, and then crossed the river by barge. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

The Rosette Stone was discovered 1799 by a French Soldier. The Rosetta stone
was the key that enabled scholars to read the meanings of the hieroglyphs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1816, Giovanni Belzoni began collecting
pieces of the Rosetta stone for the British Museum. And then in 1822, Linguist Jean-Francois
Champollion decoded the hieroglyphic script. In 1880 Flinders Pertie started to
survey the Great Pyramid. In 1922, Howard carter discovered King Tut’s
tomb.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1939, Pierre Montet discovered
the royal tombs at Tanis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1992, the
underwater survey of Ancient Alexandria began. In the 1990’s Cat scans and DNA
samples of mummies became possible. In 1858 National Antiquities of Egypt was
set up. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Archeologists have discovered Egyptian Scrolls containing problems with unknown
answers. Egyptians used math to keep track of how much grain they produced. I
learned that 10 is presented as a head in hieroglyphics and 1 I.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>100 is represented as a coiled rope and has 2
I’s. 1,000 is represented as a flower and has 3 III’s. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The
Egyptians earliest calendar was based on the phases of the moon. Early
Egyptians measured time by the most obvious change in their lives, the flooding
of the Nile. Before long, Egyptians turned to astronomy, they learned that in
just 29 ½ days the moon grows until it is a full round circle and then shrinks
and disappears completely. Each time a new moon appeared, Egyptians began a new
month. Twelve months were counted as one year, An Egyptian moon year had 354
days. I learned that the Egyptians predicted the flooding of the Nile by
watching Sirius, a bright star that cycle was 365 days around the earth, the
length of a year, Sirius always appeared a day before the flooding of the Nile
so that helped the Egyptians a lot. The Egyptians subdivided their years into
12 months each 30 days, and the other 5 ½ days were for sacred holidays.
According to myth, Thoth, the god of wisdom, won some of the moons light in a
dice game. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Magiquest: Alphabetical sentence pargagraph: </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">An absolutely super fun thing to do when you’re in Myrtle
Beach is go to the interactive video game arena called, “Magiquest”. Broadway
at the beach is where Magiquest is located and it is fun for the whole family!
Can you think of an even better way to spend a vacation then at Magiquest?
Dustin, who works at Magiquest helped us pick out our wands and our clans, I
chose the Woodsy Clan ad Lily chose the Warrior clan. Everyone got to choose a
wand, except for mom because she didn’t want one and dad because he wasn’t
there. First we went in to the training center where we learned how to play the
game. “Go to the center of the room and point your wand at the screen on the
turret,” said our instructor.” “Hurry and choose your mission, once you’ve
chosen your mission the wizard will tell you a riddle of the things you need to
find in the arena and who you must bring them to after you’ve completed your
task.” I chose the enchant rune first; each rock gave you different powers when
it was time to slay the dragon at the end. Just then, the wizard came on and
gave me the riddle that I needed to find many different colored gems around the
arena. Kellan, the wizard told me that after I found all of these gems that I
had to bring them to the pixie in the Tree house in the sky. Luckily for me, I
found all of the gems in no time and got to visit the pixie who gave us the
rune of enchantment. Mom and Lily and I worked together as a team on the next
rune, the lightning rune. Not many other people were in the arena so it was fun
because there weren’t any lines to wait in at all to talk to the creatures. One
of the creatures was the gargoyle of the shadow clan who in exchange for 2,000
pieces of gold gave us the distraction rune. Princess Diana was another
creature that we talked to, after we brought her all of the items she wanted,
she gave us the portal rune. Queen Esmeralda however as not quite as nice, in
the dungeon is where she realms tricking young magi’s into never getting the
rune that she holds, I saw other guests go up to her and she looks mean. Runes
are like rocks that hold useful spells that can be used when fighting the
dragon at the end of the game. Since we didn’t get all of the runes on our
first visit, we didn’t get to battle the dragon yet. That’s why Magiquest is a
great business idea, you have to keep coming back and it remembers your wand so
when you come back you can increase your level and get closer and closer to
battling the dragon. Understandable, we had a time limit and Lily was very
upset when we had to leave because we didn’t get to meet the Goblin King, or
Queen Esmeralda, or the Dragon yet, but were hoping there’s a Magiquest in
Singapore! Vacation is really nice in South Carolina. We’re just wondering why
there can’t be a Magiquest closer to us. Xavier, who was the person that
trained us said the closest one to us was in Boston and Pennsylvania. Yet, we
go to Boston quite often so maybe we can play again, someday. Zebra, Oh and if
you haven’t noticed this is an alphabetical paragraph, and that Zebra word at
the beginning of this sentence, yeah don’t pay attention to that, it’s just
there so I can have a sentence that starts with Z!</span></div>

were worthy enough to be one. We saw absolutely great stunt work and gymnastics
and diving. The Second act was the Pirate Olympics Crimson Pirates against
Sapphire. Lily got to be in the show, she got to chase geese. At the end of the

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Edgebono Eutoosis!” Melissa says as she’s
casting a spell. “Well, hello there.” Melissa says to her new made duplicate of
herself. “Hello, back.” The clone says. Melissa was a nine year old wizard at
the time and without permission, duplicated herself so she wouldn’t have to go
to school. “You are my clone.” Melissa says, “You will go to school as Melissa
Prescott, while I stay in Wizconsin all day.” “Wizconsin” was the name of the
name of the secret wizard and fantasy creature world that wizards could get to
by opening a portal with a special key. They call it Wizconsin so if a mortal
hears it, they think they are talking about the U.S state, Wisconsin. However,
young Melissa’s plan failed and her parents caught her and her clone and told
Melissa to get rid of the clone, but instead Melissa sent the clone off on
another mission. First, Melissa duplicated the rest of her family members and
then said this to them, “Ok, clone of me… your name is going to be Reagan,
clone of Kris, your name is going to be… hmmm, Garrett, clone of Mom, you’ll be
known as Claire, and clone of Dad, you will be called Steven, you are the
Johnson family and I will shrink you down, once I learned the shrinking spell
and I will play with you as dolls so….” “Melissa… who are you talking to? Did
you get rid of that clone like I said?” Melissa’s mom screamed from across the
hall. “Yes, mom she’s gone, she’s vanished, she has completely disappeared.”
Melissa said…lying. “Ok, cause I will be in to check in a minute.” Uh oh!
Melissa thought to herself, she couldn’t shrink the clones because she didn’t
know the spell yet…. Frustrated, she started waving her wand around, and when
she turned around the clones were gone. She accidently transported the Johnsons
to Florida erases their minds completely! “Oh, good…she’s gone.” Melissa mother
said as she peeked into Melissa’s room. Melissa was upset that she lost her
dolls, but she was also wondering how she made them disappear and where to. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">6 years later, Jacksonville, Florida: </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Reagan and her family were transported to
Jacksonville six years ago with not a clue what was going on. Steven found a
job, and a house and the family found a way to make a living. Reagan’s 16<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>
birthday was next week, her family was planning a huge party and a surprise,
they were going to move to California! “Hi Dana, its Claire, just wanted to
make sure Hannah could come to the party.” Reagan’s mom was very nervous and
wanted to make sure that all of Reagan’s friends would be able to make it to
the party. “Call me back, Thank you bye.” Claire was definitely an over worrier
just like Melissa’s mom, I guess the duplicate picked up the same personality,
except of course, that the duplicates, didn’t know they were duplicates!
Melissa’s parents weren’t making a big deal out of Melissa’s birthday as
Reagan’s parents were, they were just planning a small family gathering and
that was not at all what Melissa wanted .Melissa had almost completely
forgotten about the clone spell until her wizard teacher taught it to her,
however, her wizard teacher left out a very important part about the spell,
when the wizard that casted the spell turns 16, and the clone has not yet been
destroyed, the clone starts copying all of the wizards actions! </span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On the eve of December 12, the night before
Melissa and Reagan turned sixteen, there was a change in the wind, instead of
blowing from the west, it blew from the east, even in California which was, how
many miles away from Florida, it made the top headline on the news, Melissa’s
mom suspected something suspicious. Claire didn’t really care about it as much;
she was just making sure everything went as planned for Reagan’s 16<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>
birthday party. On the next morning, both girls had many presents to open and
hugs to receive, Melissa had a whole bunch of her family members there, and
since Reagan and her family had no family members, they had many of their
friends there. Reagan and all of her friends and her friends family went out to
lunch before the big party later that day, Melissa and her mom worked on
preparing food for their whole family, while her dad, and uncles, and
grandfathers, worked on party decorations. Reagan’s party was at a ballroom and
she was wearing a rose pink, knee-lengthed dress with a rhinestone embellishment
on the front, and her blonde hair was curled and pulled back into a bun.
Melissa’s party had a few of her friends there and it was in her living room,
she was wearing black skinny jeans and a floral tank top, her hair blonde hair
was as normal, straight down with a headband. Both girls had fun at their
parties and that was good, until, all of Melissa’s friends left just a little
bit before 8:00, and it was just all of her wizard family there. When the clock
struck 8:00, both girls experienced a slight change and at 8:01, Melissa took
at her wand and turned her chocolate cupcakes into a 6 foot tall, red-velvet
cake with floral printed fondant and edible rhinestones. The strange thing was,
Reagan did the same exact thing as Melissa, unintentionally, and all of
Reagan’s 300 guests guessed saw her wave her finger around and watched the
three foot cake turn in the 6 foot one, with completely different design than
the first one, Claire found a way to make them all believe it was special
effects, but Reagan was completely shocked and new something had gone wrong. </span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you ever wanted to visit the
Walt Disney World Theme park, Hollywood Studios, I suggest going there with me.
I could show you around the entire park with my eyes closed, and if you want I
could tell you about it now. You do? Well then you start by going to the
entrance on the right you will see 4 foot high mint green walls with silver
frames, inside the frames our pictures of three of the attractions that are at
Hollywood studios, Toy Story Mania, the American Idol Experience, and Star
tours, on the left is the same but with different attractions, The Lights,
Motors, Action show, Rockin’ Rollercoaster, and Fantasia. Then you walk up to
the silver ticket machines and you are officially in the park. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After you go past Tatooine Traders, you’ll find yourself on
the famous streets of America, if you look to your left, you’ll see the city
backdrop of New York, and if you look straight ahead, you’ll see San Francisco.
If you walk toward San Francisco on your left will be “Muppet Vision 3D” Which
is a movie featuring and starring the Muppets! It is a great show and you even
get to see some of your favorite Muppets up close, some even run through the
audience! Directly to your right from the Muppet vision you will be at the
Honey I shrunk the Kids Movie Set Playground Adventure. These are reproductions
of actual props from the movie, “Honey I shrunk the kids” Over behind “Honey I
shrunk the kids playground are mama Melrose’s Italian Restaurant and Pizza
Planet. Now from Pizza Planet, If you look straight ahead, you will see a giant
coke bottle and a big red bus shoved halfway through a building this is the
studio backlot tour, this is a fun adventure where you get to see props from
many famous movies including, “Pirates of the Caribbean” The Muppet Movie” and
many more classic movies, and some volunteer guests get to act out scenes and
create a movie their selves! </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Just behind the Sorcerers hat you
will see another iconic building, and inside this building lies the classic
“Great Movie Ride” This ride takes you into the movies and you even get to see
a little live theater! This 25 minute tour ride is great on a hot day when you
want to sit down and relax and well, watch some movies! If you travel to your
left from here on to Mickey Ave you will see the Animation courtyard, this is a
real animation studio with classes teaching you how to draw your favorite
Disney characters, and even creating characters yourself! Next to the Animation
courtyard is the Little Mermaid show which is another great show for the little
ones! From here if you travel towards Pixar Place to your right will be “One
Man’s dream” a movie about Walt Disney and his life as well as future plans for
Disney World. After this is the Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow an interactive 4D
Pirate show. Now we head on into Pixar Place, where many of your favorite Toy
Story characters lurk! And to your right once again is Toy Story Mania, the
Carnival like game and the 2<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">nd</span></sup> most popular ride in all of Walt
Disney world. Ring Toss with Buzz and Aliens, Root, Toot, and Shoot with Woody
and Jessie, and try to get the best score in your vehicle! </span></div>
<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When you exit from Toy Story Mania you can walk straight on
to Sunset Boulevard, where you will get a view of the tallest building in
Hollywood Studios, The Hollywood Tower Hotel, or better known as, “The Tower of
Terror!” When you walk in to this ride you will see indications that this is
definitely an old abandoned Hollywood hotel, but you will continue on where the
bellboys will lead you on an elevator that will take you beyond the fifth this
thrilling elevator ride it is definitely worth it because the drop sequences
are different every time dimension, to the thirteenth floor, and into, the
Twilight Zone! If you dare to take the plunge onto you ride it and it is
definitely worth the chills and anticipation. When you exit tower of terror, if
you look to your left you will see a big red and white electric guitar with an
upside down car hanging off of its neck, this is another favorite to guest
going to Hollywood Studios, Rockin’ Roller coaster starring Aerosmith. When you
enter this thrilling ride it seems like a recording studio…that’s because it
is! And when Aerosmith sees you, they give you VIP tickets and backstage passes
to their show, but since it starts in a couple of minutes, their manager gives
you a super stretch super fast limo. The launch goes from 0-60 and features a
loop, a corkscrew and many thrilling drops. Now if you are looking for a great
show…I suggest Fantasmic and soar the powers of imagination with Mickey! The
park closes now so I hope you have enjoyed your time with me here at Hollywood
Studios and cone back again soon </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have gone to USFS’s Components
Camp twice and I can honestly say that it keeps getting more and more
impressive, the staff is just so amazing and so are all the volunteers that
help as team leaders. I went to a camp in Ohio in 2011, and I can say that both
were absolutely fantastic. I really like that Coaches and Parents can have their
own classes too. My favorite part about this year’s components camp was working
with all the different instructors and watching all of their different
techniques and finding a way to put that into my skating. I loved meeting all
the skaters on my team and seeing what I could learn from then, as well as
making good friends with all of them. I definitely want to go back to
Components Camp in the future, and work with new instructors, and learn so much
more! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Brookgreen<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>gardens

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Brook
green Gardens is filled with absolutely beautiful statues, fascinating plants
and flowers, magnificent animals, and much history. With so many different
activities Brook green Gardens is the perfect way to spend your day. The
statues are Grecian God inspired and are beautiful painted in Gold, Silver, and
bronze. There are also sculptures and statues of animals like a heron, a seal,
and all the other animals in the zoo at Brook green Gardens. There are also
many beautiful gardens filled with vibrant colored flowers and magical trees.
Brook green Gardens used to be a Slave Plantation, and what is called, “The
Low-country Trail,” is actually the historical rice field that many slaves in
the 19<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> century worked at. There are also many different ponds
throughout the Gardens, and many beautiful fountains in the ponds. I thought
the Brook Green gardens were absolutely beautiful and I would love to go there
again someday. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Low-Country Trail was a
historical walk on a South Carolina Slave Plantation from the 19<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>
century with beautiful statues and a platform overlooking a rice plantation. On
the Rice Plantation I could see all of the harsh climates that these slaves
were working through, very hot weather wet weather, and all of the natural
wildlife like alligators, panthers, poisonous snakes, and more. One of the
statues was of a slave woman; you could see that every single day of her life
had a routine, housework. She would work in the kitchen, clean the house, cook,
and make sure everything was perfect for her master, then she would do the same
thing for her own family. The statue was of a slave woman, with a broom, and
apron, and she looking to the sky, as if she was looking for a better life, she
was looking for something better in the future, but she knew this could never
happen. I saw how small all of the slave houses were, and I really understand
why they wanted to get away from the South and risk the chance of getting
caught, I guess they thought it would still be better than being a slave. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I read an American Black Folktale today, it was called, He
Lion, Bruh Bear, and Bruh Rabbit. It was about He Lion thinking all of the time
about himself and only himself, me, myself, and I, he always said, me, myself,
and I, I could tell by reading this story that He Lion, was actually the
plantation owner who only thought about himself. Bruh Bear and Bruh Rabbit were
the lower class, the slaves, they were always doing what He Lion told them to
do, even if it wasn’t right, One day they told He Lion that he was being
selfish and then He Lion got really mad, and he separated Bruh Bear and Bruh
Rabbit and sent them (sold them) to another Lion far away, and that was the end
of the story. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We spent about 3 ½ hours at the
museum and then took an absolutely gorgeous walk through Central park all the
way to FAO Schwartz. That’s when we started our video star. Jasmine videoed
Cecilia and I on the big piano at FAO Schwartz dancing to One Direction…Oh
yeah! That was a lot of fun. After FAO Schwartz we walked to Rockefeller Center
and saw the NBC studios. After that, we went to Time Square…. And went
shopping! We went to a lot of souvenir shops by Broadway and in Times Square
and it was amazing! We went to Forever 21, and the Disney store and it was
super cool! We also videoed us on the red stairs and when we were dancing, a
woman behind us started dancing too….It was hilarious! We walked to Bryant park
and went skating after Times Square…. And boy did we show off! We had like 8
feet of ice to do freestyle on in the middle, and we made the best of it. We
practiced our solos and our thriller number and at one point everyone else
skating stopped and watched us when our music came on and we couldn’t help
ourselves from dancing! It was SOO much fun and a great experience! Thank you
mom, Dad, and Meg for making this possible!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">. In writing today I wrote a paragraph about
two characters having a conversation, this is called the Dialogue of a story.
So I wrote a scene from the story “My Normal life” between the main character
and my character: When I entered into my house, I saw him, “Umm what are you
doing here?” I asked. “I needed to talk to you… immediately” he said. We made
our way to the back of the room. “So you know that farmers market by Mrs.
Refsals house, right?” “ya” I said with a question. “Well the stall that sells
brown eggs is run by this man named Jeremiah, who went to grade school with my
mom.” Max said. I thought to myself…”And your point is?” but instead I said,
“Go on.” “He is actually related to the president!” Max said quite excitedly.
“Can you believe it?!” he said one more time since I delayed my answer. “No, no
I can’t… who told you this?” I said because I did not believe this story one
bit. “Mrs. Refsal!” he said as I watched his eyes go to disappointed. “She was
just messing with me wasn’t she…?” he said in a depressed tone of voice. “ya
think” I said with a smirk. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Writing exercise: Writers use details in
their settings that match the mood of what is happening in the story: First
think about details that a writer might include in a story that was humorous or
light-hearted. What might the weather be like? The sun was running, hopelessly
from the clouds chasing it. Then, the clouds ran away from the big blue patch
of sky growing larger and larger and making the clouds disappear into a perfect
day. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">e. What time of day might it be? The sun was
to the right of the sky so it was probably around 3:00, then I looked at my
watch to see if my estimate was correct, 2:58…Oh I love to be right! </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">f. Now, write some sensory details that
might include a scary part or a part where something bad is going to happen to
a character. What might the weather be like: In my mind, the trees were closing
in creating a dark tunnel around me, and the sky was a dark red like the color
of blood…however, this was not the real weather. But knowing that my blood
might be part of my sky in a couple of minutes, it seemed so. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">g. What time of day might it be? It was
night, I knew this for sure because I was tired, but I also knew that I
couldn’t rest now, the “thing” was coming, and it was coming soon. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Did you know that some scientists believe,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That life didn’t start on Earth?</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But came from Outer Space you see,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And for what it’s worth,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">They think that a comet, hit the Earth,</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Carrying all the proteins of what <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>living things are formed, </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There are many theories about the origin of life on Earth,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But none that are proven true. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Did you know that Nature provides, </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Many different forms of Energy? </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Energy that comes from the changes of the tides,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">From Oil, from Wind, from the sea. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Coal and oil are the main sources,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But they are non-renewable,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now scientists are finding different ways and courses,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On papyrus they put down some early remedies, </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dental Care is also from here,</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">About eight minutes from to go from the sun to the Earth?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Watching it do so Oh what a sight!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Nothing travels faster than it on Earth.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Light always travels in a straight line, </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Except when a solid object blocks it way,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Did you know that
even though light appears white,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Solar Energy on Earth to meet all of our needs, </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But capturing it can be tough, so we use Solar panels
indeed, </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Solar cells capture sunlight,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Using silicon crystals on the panels,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The light knocks loose electrical charges all right,</span></div>
<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Did you know that Egypt’s earliest calendar </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Was based on the phases of the moon</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But the Sirius star was the new trend bender</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And their calendar changed pretty soon</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now their calendar had 365 days,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Just like ours does now,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And when Cleopatra was Queen she made Caesar obey,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And the Romans had the calendar too!</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is the force around a
magnet?</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The magnet was discovered
in China, For real!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In 200 BC, when they also discovered the poles of a magnet,</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The poles of a magnet, is what makes a compass,</span></div>

what you do is turn on the power button on the Wii, the power button is in the
upper left corner, the light on the button should go from yellow to green. Then
you turn on the TV, and hit the channel button so that the TV mode is on AV.
Next, the screen should say, “Welcome to Wii Press A to start. On your Wii
remote, there will be a big circle button in the middle, with an “A” on it.
After you press “A” the home screen should come up. There you should see a red
box in the bottom right corner of the menu, you move the Wii remote over to
that red square where it should say, “Netflix.” Then you press that by hitting
the “A” button again. Hit the “A” button once more to start the program.
Finally the list of television shows and movies should come up scroll for your
favorite one and watch it all day and as many times as you want. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">a. Today in science I learned about Energy
Efficient homes. An important part of curbing hunger for energy is making homes
energy efficient!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">b. Recycling is a good way to make your
home more energy efficient: Recycling means that new things do not need to be
produced from scratch, which takes less energy. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">c. Greenhouse: Sunlight hitting the
greenhouse helps to heat the home during cold months. It can also heat water
for an under floor pipe system, which also warms the house. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">d. Composting: Kitchen food scraps and yard

equipment. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">f. Hot water: Solar power uses the Sun’s
energy to provide hot water, decreasing the amount of electricity needed. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">g. We do many of the things mentioned in

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">a. I learned that Early on in Egypt, the
Egyptians discovered that a triangle measuring 3, 4, 5 or 5, 12, 13 always
included a right angle. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">b. Surveyors would lay out knotted ropes in
a straight line and by sighting a right angles and constructing an imaginary
triangle, they could determine distances. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">c. Egyptians measured the area of
irregularly shaped fields by dividing it into triangles, and then adding all
the triangles together. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">d. Egyptians even knew basic Algebra,
Archeologists have discovered Egyptian Scrolls containing problems with unknown
answers. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">e. King Tut began his reign when he was
eight years old. He died in 1344 bc, when he was eighteen. His resting place
was discovered in 1922, and it is the only tomb that has not been badly looted.
</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">f. Even though it was robbed once or twice
before it was discovered, it still had many magnificent treasures in it. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">g. Historians think that since Tut died so
suddenly and when he was young, they didn’t have enough time to build a tomb
for him, so he was buried in a tomb meant for noblemen. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">a. In math today I was supposed to
determine whether each problem was an equation or a inequality, and whether it
was a math sentence or not. Hint: An equation has an equal sign in it. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">b. 1 <m x/2 It’s an inequality. </span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">a. In science today I learned about
biofuels. A source of renewable energy that holds tremendous potential, it
comes from living materials, such as plant waste, crops such as soybeans and
corn, and even algae. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">b. Here is a pro for Biofuel: Based on
plants, so they are renewable. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">c. Con: Plants grown for fuel can make

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">e. Con: It can take more energy to produce
them than the energy they provide. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">f. Pro: Do not contribute to global warming

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">a. I learned that the Old Kingdom (2649 –
2150 bc) is known as the Age of Pyramids. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">b. I learned that one theory of how the
laborers in Egypt managed to move so much stone was by using a wooden roller
coated with mud. Each stone was as heavy as a male hippopotamus. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">d. As Cleopatra waited impatiently at the
border of Alexandria for events to unfold she knew she needed Roman support to
regain her title of Queen. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">e. Days after Pompey’s death Julius Caesar
visited Alexandria, Ptolemy, (Cleopatra’s father) presented him with the head
of his enemy, instead of being pleased by the present, Caesar was outraged and
took Ptolemy prisoner in Rome. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">

<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">a. I read four more chapters of Kingdom

<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">a. In writing today I read about what
explanatory writing is. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">b. One way of explanatory writing is
instructions. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">c. Another way of Explanatory writing

<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">d. I listed some explanations I read or

phone. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">f. When writing to explain or to give
instructions it might be for this reason: to tell how to make something, or to
tell how something works. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">g. Another reason: To tell how to get

<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">a. In math today I used distributive
property to simplify the expression. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">b. I worked with coefficients, like terms,
and distribution properties. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">c. (-1) (-a) (-b) + -a/ (a)(-b) = -ab + 1/b
</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">d. (-2)(-x)(y) + yz/y = 2xy + 2 </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">e. -10(-a)/ (-5)ab = - 2/b </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">f. -9c (-d)/ 3d / c/(-2) = -6 </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">g. I did these expressions assuming that
the denominators equaled zero. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">2.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Science</b></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">a. Today in Science I learned about Energy
from garbage. Which is an ongoing problem that there are landfills every year
filled with tons of waste. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">b. I learned that up to 90% of garbage that
ends up in landfills each year could be recycled, reused, or composted. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">c. 41% of the trash is paper, which could
be recycled, or reused. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">d. One way to tap into this energy source,
is to use an energy source, a bioreactor located on a landfill can capture
methane gas that the landfill creates and use it to make electricity. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">e. About 60% of methane gas comes from
human-created sources such as landfills. The rest comes from natural sources. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">f. Bulldozers are used to crush and
compress the waste at a landfill site; this makes it hard for bacteria to
decompose the organic matter. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">g. Bioreactors are machines that use waste as
a resource; they capture methane gas released by rotting waste, in landfills
and burn it into electricity. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">3. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">History</b></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">a. I learned that the early Egyptian systems
of measurements were based on the body of the Pharaoh. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">b. A cubit was the length of his forearm,
from the elbow to the tip of his middle finger. The width of his palm and four
fingers together were also used. The problem with this system is that all human
bodies are different. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">c. When measuring grain the Egyptians used
symbols based on the eye of the God Horus. A surveyor would draw Horus’s
eyebrow to represent the fraction, 1/8, or the eyeball to represent the
fraction, ¼. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">d. Egyptians created a system of weights
based on a single grain of wheat, later, some standard stones were used. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">e. A mummy is a preserved body. The ancient
Egyptians were interested in finding a way to preserve bodies so their souls
could life forever in the afterlife.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">f. The process of mummification took 70
days; the wealthy Egyptians continued the practice of mummifying throughout the
next 3,000 years. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">g. First they would wash the body, then
remove the brain, then remove the organs, then dry out the body, then do the
initial wrapping of the body, and then the final wrapping. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">b. Pero a veces solo usa sus grandes,
tristes y dulces ojos. But sometimes he uses his great, sad, and sweet eyes. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">c. Shrek parte en busca de Arturo
Pendragon. Shrek went on a search for Arthur Pendragon. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">d. A Arturo tambien le dicen artie. Arthur
is also called Artie. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">e. Artie puede llegar a ser el proximo rey
en lugar de Shrek. Arte can be the next king instead of Shrek. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">f. Hay solo un problema Artie no quiere ser
rey. But there was one problem; Artie didn’t want to be king. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">g. Piensa que es mucho trabajo. He thinks
it’s too much work. </span></div>

</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">b. The main characters are, Finn, Charlene,

<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">a. In math today I learned that you combine
like terms by adding their coefficients. For example: 5xy – 2xy = 3xy. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">b. In math when you see this, a(b + c) this
means the a is multiplying times the ( b + c).</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">c. The distributive property is a rule that
allows us to rewrite very specific kinds of expressions so that the parentheses
go away but the value of the expression remains unchanged. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">d. Using the distribution rule: 9(2/3 –
5/9) = 6 – 5 = 1 </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">e. 14(8/7 + 3/14) = 19 </span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">a. Today in Science I learned about solar
energy. I learned that this energy radiates out from the sun, warming earth and
supporting all of the planets life. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">b. I learned that increasingly, people are
capturing that energy, and using it to generate electricity and heat water. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">c. I learned that enough solar energy
reaches Earth to meet all our energy needs, The trick is capturing it. </span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Since our school is so important in our

will be a great a great way to use our gym on the Saturday night where it was
free.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know that at the end of the year

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">*Sophie’s school plan is very hard and intense for the next
3 weeks in order to make up for the extra time spent in Alabama in April and in
order to have this unit complete before her first rehearsal for MSMT. Her goal
is to complete one 7 x 7 per day of school for the next 14 days—that is
basically doing 2 days worth of work per day. She will begin on Day 155 and end
on Day 170. This is in addition to her regular skating schedule and the Daily
Sparks 2-3 times a week. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The last 5 days
of school will consist of some reviews and final unit projects.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The plan for the seventh component of her daily 7 x 7s –the Art/Music/Drama
section—will be mostly practice and reading the Mary Poppins script. She does
have a couple of cool art projects to do but she won’t be filling this section
for every day. She will, however, be doing approximately a half hour’s music
practice on piano, voice, or guitar and she will read and re-read her Mary
Poppins script. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you ever wanted to visit the Walt
Disney World Theme park, Hollywood Studios, I suggest going there with me. I
could show you around the entire park with my eyes closed, and if you want I
could tell you about it now. You do? Well then you start by going to the
entrance on the right you will see 4 foot high mint green walls with silver
frames, inside the frames our pictures of three of the attractions that are at
Hollywood studios, Toy Story Mania, the American Idol Experience, and Star
tours, on the left is the same but with different attractions, The Lights,
Motors, Action show, Rockin’ Rollercoaster, and Fantasia. Then you walk up to
the silver ticket machines and you are officially in the park. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Member Services is on your left and
a “car” “wash” is on your right, from here you can see a tall silver monument
with Mickey mouse on the top spinning around. Right next to that on your left
is the restaurant Hollywood and Vine which is a marvelous place to go if you
were around Echo Lake, Right next to it is the 50’s Prime Time TV diner where the
waiters, and waitresses act like 50’s moms, and you get to watch 50’s
television at your table. After you exit the diner if you look straight ahead
you will see the Dinosaur Ice cream shack, and the dockside Diner on Echo Lake.
If you walk straight down the street you will come to the Indiana Jones Stunt
Show which is a fabulous interactive little show about stunt work, that I
definitely recommend if you want to see adventure, stunt work, and a little bit
of comedy!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then there is the backlot Express
which is an all-round American food counter service restaurant which is great
for a quick snack. After that you will see a large animal like contraption that
is the entry-way to a very popular attraction, that is now new and improved,
the famous, “Star Tours” Which is a thrilling, Star Wars based flight
simulator. There are over 50 different adventures on Star Tours and every time
is a different one! </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After you go past Tatooine Traders,
you’ll find yourself on the famous streets of America, if you look to your

some volunteer guests get to act out scenes and create a movie their selves! </span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">From here we move on to commissary
lane where the entrance to the American idol Experience is, guest 14 and over
get to live out their dreams on stage and sing for an audience and get feedback
from the Disney judges, this is a once and a lifetime chance for many people so
I definitely suggest trying it. However, if you don’t feel like you’re ready
for that, you can always watch as members from the audience and cheer for your
favorite singer! On your right is the ABC commissary which is a nice little
restaurant with TV’s playing your favorite ABC shows. Now we have arrived in
the middle of Hollywood at the big Sorcerer Mickey hat, this is the most famous
icon of Hollywood studios standing at 192 feet, Mickey’s Sorcerer hat is the
second tallest thing in the park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Just behind the Sorcerers hat you
will see another iconic building, and inside this building lies the classic
“Great Movie Ride” This ride takes you into the movies and you even get to see
a little live theater! This 25 minute tour ride is great on a hot day when you
want to sit down and relax and well, watch some movies! If you travel to your
left from here on to Mickey Ave you will see the Animation courtyard, this is a
real animation studio with classes teaching you how to draw your favorite
Disney characters, and even creating characters yourself! Next to the Animation
courtyard is the Little Mermaid show which is another great show for the little
ones! From here if you travel towards Pixar Place to your right will be “One
Man’s dream” a movie about Walt Disney and his life as well as future plans for
Disney World. After this is the Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow an interactive
4D Pirate show. Now we head on into Pixar Place, where many of your favorite
Toy Story characters lurk! And to your right once again is Toy Story Mania, the
Carnival like game and the 2<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">nd</span></sup> most popular ride in all of Walt
Disney world. Ring Toss with Buzz and Aliens, Root, Toot, and Shoot with Woody
and Jessie, and try to get the best score in your vehicle! </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">

straight on to Sunset Boulevard, where you will get a view of the tallest
building in Hollywood Studios, The Hollywood Tower Hotel, or better known as,
“The Tower of Terror!” When you walk in to this ride you will see indications
that this is definitely an old abandoned Hollywood hotel, but you will continue
on where the bellboys will lead you on an elevator that will take you beyond
the fifth this thrilling elevator ride it is definitely worth it because the
drop sequences are different every time dimension, to the thirteenth floor, and
into, the Twilight Zone! If you dare to take the plunge onto you ride it and it
is definitely worth the chills and anticipation. When you exit tower of terror,
if you look to your left you will see a big red and white electric guitar with
an upside down car hanging off of its neck, this is another favorite to guest
going to Hollywood Studios, Rockin’ Roller coaster starring Aerosmith. When you
enter this thrilling ride it seems like a recording studio…that’s because it
is! And when Aerosmith sees you, they give you VIP tickets and backstage passes
to their show, but since it starts in a couple of minutes, their manager gives
you a super stretch super fast limo. The launch goes from 0-60 and features a
loop, a corkscrew and many thrilling drops. Now if you are looking for a great
show…I suggest Fantasmic and soar the powers of imagination with Mickey! The
park closes now so I hope you have enjoyed your time with me here at Hollywood
Studios and cone back again soon </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983307110706038382.post-80283801810087975062013-06-03T08:39:00.004-07:002013-06-03T08:39:18.598-07:00Disney World 7 x 7

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Magic Kingdom Park:</strong> </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">1. I learned that the way of the construction to the
entrance around Magic Kingdom Park is therefore a reason; the Transportation
and ticket center is across the lake and so far away because when you get to
the entrance you feel like you’re out of the outside world and in to the world
of the Magic Kingdom </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">2. I learned that during the construction of Magic Kingdom
Walt died and the company had lost its leader and visionary, and so Walt’s
brother Roy took over on the construction of Magic Kingdom. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">3. I learned that Magic Kingdom and Disneyland area lot

Tommorowland, Froteirland, and Adventureland. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">4. Walt placed Magic Kingdom where it is on purpose , so
that the entryway wasn’t full of tourist shops and motels like Disneyland was,
that really bothered Walt, and that’s why he placed Magic Kingdom far away from
the city of Orlando, so that guests could feel like they were truly away from
the outside world. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">5. I learned that the Magic Kingdom Park covers
approximately 120 acres. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">6. Magic Kingdom Park is the most visited park in all of
Walt Disney World. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">7. Walt called their idea of Walt Disney World, “The Florida
Project” and kept it a secret for many years. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Main Street U.S.A</strong> </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">1. Main Street U.S.A Walt Disney World is based on Walt’s
hometown Main Street at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Light bulbs were
just invented, and movies were huge! That’s why the tunnels under the railroad
station have movie commercials in them for the rides, because those tunnels are
known as the “Theater Entrance.” </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">2. I learned that on the windows of the buildings on main
Street U.S.A there are the company offices with names that pay tribute to many
of Disney’s most famous imaganeers. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">3. I learned that at the Main Street Fir Station,
firefighters from all over the world leave their badge after a visit and it is
put up on the wall of the Main Street U.S.A fire station. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">4. I learned that the Walt Disney and Roy Disney statues on
Main Street are positioned such for a reason; Walt is positioned like the
visionary, the hero holding Mickey’s hand and pointing in to the future. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">5. Roy’s statue is sitting on a park bench with Minnie next
to him meaning his trying to be the background to realize his brother’s vision.
</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">6. The bright red sidewalks in town square were chose to
reflect the green grass since both colors are opposite on the color wheel. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">7. The show windows by the emporium are placed lower to the
ground than historically correct, but Walt wanted Children to be able to see
inside of them. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Adventureland:</strong></span></div>

there were supposed to be live animals. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">2. I learned that the Pirates of the Caribbean ride was not
part of the Opening day of magic Kingdom. But overwhelming guest requests
prevailed, and it made its appearance in 1973 It became one of the most popular
attractions in the park. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">3. The Auctioneer is voiced by Paul Frees the ghost host at
the Haunted Mansion and the narrator for the Hall of Presidents. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">4. The Enchanted Tiki room show opened in 1971. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">5. Aladdin’s flying carpet ride was added to adventure land

a tree that is native to southern Florida. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">7. Adventure land is one of two lands in the magic Kingdom
to appear with the same name in every Magic Kingdom Park world Wide. </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">1. Frontierland celebrates the American Pioneer Spirit.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">2. Beloved Big Al in the Country Bear Jamboree is a
caricature of Show Writer Al Bertino, one of the lead writers for Magic Kingdom
Park. Big al is a favorite of Frontierland. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">3. Country Bear Jamboree features 18 bears, plus a raccoon,
buffalo, stag, moose, and of course, the occasional skunk. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">4. The height of the Splash Mountain drop is 52 ½ feet on a
45 degree angle drop which travels 40 miles per hour, faster than Space
Mountain. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">5. The runoff of the splashdown is carried into the Rivers

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">1. The shutters on the windows in Liberty Square hang at an
angle, because in colonial times, the upper hinges tended to be made of leather
straps in order to conserve metal, this made them tilt to one side a quality
Disney mimicked even though theirs are made of metal. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">2. I learned that the Haunted Mansion is the only attraction
to be featured in a different land of the four Magic kingdoms Parks World Wide.
Disneyland: New Orleans Square, Magic Kingdom, Liberty Square, Tokyo
Disneyland, fantasyland, and Disneyland Paris, Frontierland </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">3. Liberty Square by Haunted Mansion is based on New York up
by the Hudson river in the 1700s, The Columbia Harbour House and town square is
based on Boston mid-1700s, and the Hall of Presidents is based on Philadelphia
late 1700s. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">4. The transition from Libery Square to Frontierland goes
from the early 1700s, to mid 1700s, to late 1700s, then to Goofy’s Jamboree in
St. Louis early 1800s, Then to Colorado’s Rockies by the Country bear Jamboree
in the mid 1800s, And the Splash Mountain as a 1870’s, traveling South a little
bit, and then back up in to the Wild west for Big Thunder Mountain, the
transition between both lands is appropriate and very clever, </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">5. On a window on the second floor of the Hall of Presidents
facing toward the Haunted Mansion, there are two small candles. They are placed
there to signify Paul Revere’s “One if by land, Two if by sea” I guess it’s by
sea! </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">3. Mickey’s Phillhar Magic was one of the first that applied
CGI to an entire film. </span></div>
<br />

Camp twice and I can honestly say that it keeps getting more and more
impressive, the staff is just so amazing and so are all the volunteers that
help as team leaders. I went to a camp in Ohio in 2011, and I can say that both
were absolutely fantastic. I really like that Coaches and Parents can have
their own classes too. My favorite part about this year’s components camp was
working with all the different instructors and watching all of their different
techniques and finding a way to put that into my skating. I loved meeting all
the skaters on my team and seeing what I could learn from then, as well as
making good friends with all of them. I definitely want to go back to
Components Camp in the future, and work with new instructors, and learn so much
more! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Write a paragraph of our experience at MagiQuest! Construct the paragraph with each sentence beginning with a consecutive letter of the alphabet beginning the first sentence with the letter A and the last and twenty-fourth sentence beginning with the letter Z.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">An absolutely super fun thing to do when you’re in Myrtle
Beach is go to the interactive video game arena called, “Magiquest”. Broadway
at the beach is where Magiquest is located and it is fun for the whole family!
Can you think of an even better way to spend a vacation then at Magiquest?
Dustin, who works at Magiquest helped us pick out our wands and our clans, I
chose the Woodsy Clan ad Lily chose the Warrior clan. Everyone got to choose a
wand, except for mom because she didn’t want one and dad because he wasn’t
there. First we went in to the training center where we learned how to play the
game. “Go to the center of the room and point your wand at the screen on the
turret,” said our instructor.” “Hurry and choose your mission, once you’ve
chosen your mission the wizard will tell you a riddle of the things you need to
find in the arena and who you must bring them to after you’ve completed your
task.” I chose the enchant rune first; each rock gave you different powers when
it was time to slay the dragon at the end. Just then, the wizard came on and
gave me the riddle that I needed to find many different colored gems around the
arena. Kellan, the wizard told me that after I found all of these gems that I
had to bring them to the pixie in the Tree house in the sky. Luckily for me, I
found all of the gems in no time and got to visit the pixie who gave us the
rune of enchantment. Mom and Lily and I worked together as a team on the next
rune, the lightning rune. Not many other people were in the arena so it was fun
because there weren’t any lines to wait in at all to talk to the creatures. One
of the creatures was the gargoyle of the shadow clan who in exchange for 2,000
pieces of gold gave us the distraction rune. Princess Diana was another
creature that we talked to, after we brought her all of the items she wanted,
she gave us the portal rune. Queen Esmeralda however as not quite as nice, in
the dungeon is where she realms tricking young magi’s into never getting the
rune that she holds, I saw other guests go up to her and she looks mean. Runes
are like rocks that hold useful spells that can be used when fighting the
dragon at the end of the game. Since we didn’t get all of the runes on our
first visit, we didn’t get to battle the dragon yet. That’s why Magiquest is a
great business idea, you have to keep coming back and it remembers your wand so
when you come back you can increase your level and get closer and closer to
battling the dragon. Understandable, we had a time limit and Lily was very
upset when we had to leave because we didn’t get to meet the Goblin King, or
Queen Esmeralda, or the Dragon yet, but were hoping there’s a Magiquest in
Singapore! Vacation is really nice in South Carolina. We’re just wondering why
there can’t be a Magiquest closer to us. Xavier, who was the person that
trained us said the closest one to us was in Boston and Pennsylvania. Yet, we
go to Boston quite often so maybe we can play again, someday. Zebra, Oh and if
you haven’t noticed this is an alphabetical paragraph, and that Zebra word at
the beginning of this sentence, yeah don’t pay attention to that, it’s just
there so I can have a sentence that starts with Z!</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Brook green Gardens is filled with absolutely beautiful
statues, fascinating plants and flowers, magnificent animals, and much history.
With so many different activities Brook green Gardens is the perfect way to
spend your day. The statues are Grecian God inspired and are beautiful painted
in Gold, Silver, and bronze. There are also sculptures and statues of animals
like a heron, a seal, and all the other animals in the zoo at Brook green
Gardens. There are also many beautiful gardens filled with vibrant colored
flowers and magical trees. Brook green Gardens used to be a Slave Plantation,
and what is called, “The Low-country Trail,” is actually the historical rice
field that many slaves in the 19<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> century worked at. There are also
many different ponds throughout the Gardens, and many beautiful fountains in
the ponds. I thought the Brook Green gardens were absolutely beautiful and I
would love to go there again someday. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Low-country trail: </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Low-Country Trail was a
historical walk on a South Carolina Slave Plantation from the 19<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>
century with beautiful statues and a platform overlooking a rice plantation. On
the Rice Plantation I could see all of the harsh climates that these slaves
were working through, very hot weather wet weather, and all of the natural
wildlife like alligators, panthers, poisonous snakes, and more. One of the
statues was of a slave woman; you could see that every single day of her life
had a routine, housework. She would work in the kitchen, clean the house, cook,
and make sure everything was perfect for her master, then she would do the same
thing for her own family. The statue was of a slave woman, with a broom, and
apron, and she looking to the sky, as if she was looking for a better life, she
was looking for something better in the future, but she knew this could never
happen. I saw how small all of the slave houses were, and I really understand
why they wanted to get away from the South and risk the chance of getting
caught, I guess they thought it would still be better than being a slave. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I read an American Black Folktale today, it was called, He
Lion, Bruh Bear, and Bruh Rabbit. It was about He Lion thinking all of the time
about himself and only himself, me, myself, and I, he always said, me, myself,
and I, I could tell by reading this story that He Lion, was actually the
plantation owner who only thought about himself. Bruh Bear and Bruh Rabbit were
the lower class, the slaves, they were always doing what He Lion told them to
do, even if it wasn’t right, One day they told He Lion that he was being
selfish and then He Lion got really mad, and he separated Bruh Bear and Bruh
Rabbit and sent them (sold them) to another Lion far away, and that was the end
of the story. </span></div>

The girls and I had an interesting start to our journey this year. Firstly, Grandpa DC and Grandma Gayle in Alabama had a rough month with serious medical concerns, so Dad decided to skip part of our trip to South Carolina in order to help his Dad (Grandpa) get back home from the hospital and rehab center. We missed him but are happy to say that both Grandpa and Grandma are getting better every day and we were so proud of Dad for taking care of his family. </span></div>
<br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

We were supposed to be in Washington, D.C. with Grandpa Mike and Grandma Linda visiting all the sites and the Holocaust Museum but...we stayed in Brunswick and Sophie auditioned in the morning. What a day! She did a great job and felt awesome, unfortunately they sent all six girls away with good wishes and a promise to call “either way” within a few days.</span></div>
<br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br />

Then we continued our long drive south. We stopped for a couple of hours rest at Grandpa and Grandma’s house in Connecticut and then got back on the road and drive to Virginia, where we stopped for the night. The next morning, Monday April 15, we drove to South Carolina. The girls watched movies, sang along to Les Mis, drew and wrote poems, and were awesome in the car! The further south we drove, the warmer the weather felt & we were on our way to Myrtle Beach, SC. </span></div>
<br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br />

The lady on the phone identified herself as calling from Maine State Music Theater and asked if Sophie would like to “spend her whole Summer with Maine State”! They offered her the roles, yes I said roles, of Young Cosette in Les Miserables AND Jane Banks in Mary Poppins! I was shocked and so proud and I handed the phone to Sophie and she was asked the same question & of course eagerly accepted! We celebrated that night with a fun dinner out at Crabby Mike’s seafood buffet! </span></div>

It was a strange, surreal week watching the terrible aftermath and then the hunt for the two suspects, which resulted in a massive shut down of the city of Boston while thousands of police searched for the brothers responsible. The manhunt, shoot out, and eventual capture of the suspects played live on cable news. </span></div>

My favorite place in the Myrtle Beach area is Brookgreen Gardens, a beautiful public garden and regional zoo with a lot of history and amazing flowers, plants, and sculptures! It was a great price too--our one day admission gained us access to the gardens for the consecutive 7 days--so we came back to the gardens twice more during our week. Sophie and Lily both learned a lot and Sophie did a couple reports for her school days. </span></div>

We also had a lot of fun at the Boardwalk visiting the aquarium and Ripley’s Believe it or Not museum and a very cool activity called MagiQuest (read Sophie’s report on how cool it was and how much fun the girls had). </span></div>

On Friday we drove Sophie to Charleston along the Grass Basket highway through the Gullah region (I bought a small, beautiful grass basket from a neat lady on the side of the road), where we met Emma and Linda and Theresa and left Sophie to have fun at her skating camp (read her posts about what she learned & did). Lily and I drove back up to Myrtle Beach and she and went mini golfing! The next day (Saturday April 21) we went back to the gardens, then the state park, and out to dinner. We packed up on Sunday and drove back to Charleston to meet back up with Sophie and watch her skating performance. Lily and I had a couple hours to explore the very cool little southern port city. We went on a carriage ride through the city and learned some of the history, then we walked through the Slave Market--a cool flea market with arts and crafts. Sophie skating performance was cute & fun & she had a good time and met new friends.</span></div>

The girls knew we were picking up Dad, who did a great job helping his Dad transition into a rehab center, but they didn’t know where. We drove six hours south and then when we were an hour outside Orlando, I called Kevin and we told the girls the secret we’d kept since January--that we were spending the next week in Florida at Disney World! The girls were so excited. It was cool to be able to surprise them with a trip they’re familiar with but it can still bring so much happiness!

Thank goodness for the love and support we have back home so that the house and the animals were cared for another week. While Kevin and I helped clean the house, establish some outside care and help for DC, visit Grandma Gayle in the hospital, and stock the fridge and freezer with food, the girls got to spend some time with Uncle Aaron, Anne, and Hunter in Birmingham. Finally, on Saturday, with DC safe and healing at home, we started the long drive north back home. We drove 14 hours the first day to northern Virginia, then a beautiful and easy 9 hours home. Everyone was glad to see us and I was happy to say again that we made it over 3000 miles and 3 weeks gone with never getting lost, no car trouble, on time and no problem with reservations, no fights or injuries, and everyone and everything safe and accounted for! A success and a wonderful trip!</span></div>

She got 12 days school credit for when we were gone (and she learned and did a lot of work and reports showing how & what she learned). Starting at Day 160 Sophie is working “double time” and doing one 7 7 per day in order to finish the unit we planned. </span></div>
