"Liesel"

Brave, strong and caring

Who loves being with Rudy

Who feels the desire to read

Who needs to feel loved and cared for

Who shares bread, cookies and love

Who fears losing her loved ones

Who'd like to see Werner once more

Who dreams of Rudy naked

Who ends up living to an old age.

Camden Aquarium

Last Friday, we visited the Camden Aquarium and saw many animals that lived in the sea.I am very glad that I got to go on this trip because it gave me a once in a lifetime experience. I enjoyed the time spent with my unit mates along with the discoveries I made. We all went and touched a shark which was very cool and interesting. I got to see animals that I didn't even know existed and that was very fascinating! That trip could never be replaced with anything else due to the fact that we had fun AND learned about sea/water animals. the part that was really cool was the shark tunnel because all the sharks were swimming around you and I felt as if I was swimming with them. I hope that everyone learned at least one thing from this whole trip because it was truly extraordinary and amazing. Once again, our unit trip to the Camden Aquarium was phenomenal and so much fun! :)

FROG DISSECTION

Last week, we dissected frogs in out green science class. Personally, I really enjoyed the dissection. I loved the feeling of looking at the frog up close and I even felt better cutting it up. I really loved how in just a couple of minutes I was able to learn all the major functions and parts of a frog. Others may have hated this activity while I thought it was the most fun I had all year so far. Dissections are so fun and easy for me to conduct because I like to open and explore. This dissection helped me learn about the frog and all of its systems and functions. I am very sad that this was our last dissection because I highly enjoyed dissections and learning throughout that method was very easy for me.

Math Blog: Child Soldiers

Over the past decade, a number of two million children have died because they were involved in the armed forces. I truly found this astounding and very suprising. If the rate keeps going up, the world might end up loosing up to five million children per decade. All this is because children are being used as soldiers. The use of child soldiers should be stopped immediatly in order for the number of deaths to go down. This connects to math because it has to do with the NUMBER of children dieing. If the number goes down, then more children will grow and the population will keep increasing. Finally, I would like to say that the two million children were innocent and thats why they were used for that purpose.

Couch Potatoes May Have Shorter Lives

On January 11, 2010, researchers concluded that people that sit and watch tv for 4 hours and more may have shorter lives. If one tends to sit all day and not exercise, then they will have a shorter time on Earth due to the fact that they are not burning calories and losing body fats. If people took less time watching tv and a bit more time jogging or at the gym, then death rates due to laziness may go much lower. This increase in deaths does not just come from watching tv. This includes sittting in front of the computer as well. Therefore, people and kids should be careful now a days. The time spent on the computer and watching tv should be limited if we want to avoid dieing early. I myself will get off the computer once I finish this blog! We should all take action starting today because we don't know what can happen if we watch 5 more hours of television. It is said that we should only watch tv and sit on the computer for 2 hours at most. Starting now...we should follow that rule in order to prepare the way for healthier life styles!
