Factory Game #1

I really enjoyed the factory game. I liked being able to create a toy ot of scraps. I can relate this to the farmers because they didn't have enough money to buy toys for their children so they would make it out of scraps.

Factory Game Day Reflection 1

Today, we learned about cottage industry. We had to make a product using certain pieces of paper. The product we made were of high quality. This refers to cottage industry because in cottage industry they produce high quality products but few of them.

ROLLER COASTER

The piercing sound of screams filled the air as I stood there- waiting. My heart beating a mile a minute as I got on. The smell of leather filled my nostrils as the top safety pad came down. Then, we started our climb. Clink, clank, clink, clank…up we went, higher and higher. My eyes clamped shut my breathing rough. Then we fell, dropping like a rock. A scream left my mouth. Faster and faster we went, climbing, dropping, twisting, and twirling. Yells of excitement flew into my ears making me feel excited too. Slowly my breather went back to normal, my hands left the bar in front of me, and my eyes flickered open. My heart still pounding, only this time for excitement. Then, before I knew it it was over, my first roller coaster.

Mother Necessity

What does the phrase, “Necessity is the mother of invention” mean? Please include at least three good examples to support your thinking.

I think “Necessity is the mother of invention” could mean a look of things. My first idea was that when something is necessary that it becomes a priority to invent it. For example, the telephone, in the old days it would take days and maybe even weeks to get a telegram from one place to another. Now, thanks to Mr. Bell all we have to do is pick up the phone, dial in a number, and hope it’s not busy. Another example is the sewing machine. The sewing machine helped the public produce clothes in a much quicker fashion. My last example is the plane. When people wanted to get from England to America it would take weeks on boat. Now that the plane is very advanced it only takes about seven hours. So as you can tell when something becomes a necessity it is invented therefore saying “Necessity is the mother of invention.

Ways Of Learning

One way I learn best is Auditory. I like listening to people discuss topics that fascinate me. Although I learn well then people talk about topics that intrigue me it’s hard for me to pay attention to something that does not. If I enjoy the topic then I find that I do really well talking and writing about it. If I find the topic dull then when I have to talk or write about it I find it hard to write deeply about the subject. All in all I do learn well by listening if the subject is presented well.

A way you could help is if you try to make the topic worth listening to. If you present the topic well with real life information or fun facts then it would be easier to listen to and people would get a lot out of it.

The first week of school was full of many joyful times. My favorite by far was seeing all my friends again. I came early to school on the first day and was one of the first people in the H.O.P. When everyone started pouring into the Hall of Peace, I went crazy saying hi to my friends and kids that I recognized from the year before.

The second thing I loved about the first week of school is getting to know new people. I love having many friends so when new people come I’m always very happy to meet them.

I was very excited to start humanities because humanities has always been one of my favorite classes. After the first humanities class I guessed this year would be good. I assumed this because I had a great group of people in the class and I liked the way Mr.Coyle taught humanities.

This year, in humanities, one goal of mine would be to improve my spelling. Spelling has always been something I struggle with in humanities so I am hoping that if we ever have a spelling quiz/test I get 90% or more.

Another goal I have in mind is to reach the A zone for A.R. Usually I am able to reach it but as the year goes on I find it harder and harder to reach that goal because I can never find good books to read.

My G's : )

My gang is made up of many people. We have mainly six girls in the gang.My best friends would be Beka, Alice and Sophia. Beka is the person of the gang who can make everyone feel excitable. We have been together ever since KG and I don't know what I would do without her. Alice is always there to help and is always up for a challenge. She's the one that can tell if I'm sad even if I have a smile on my face. Sophia can make everyone laugh. You know you will have a good time when she is there. The talkative girl is Raina. She is great to be around because you will always to have sometimes to talk about. Morgann is the sport type who tries out for almost any sport team and usually will make it. Jem is shy but everyone knowns you can trust her.
Our gang contains many guys as well. Austin is my best friend out of them. He left but we still keep in touch. Garrett is the most hyper boy in the gang. He can always make something boring very fun. Alex G is also one of the guys in the gang. You can tell Alex your secrets and you know they won't be around school the next day. Dylan is the youngest boy in our gang. He is fun but sometimes can act very immature. Sebastien is shy but once you get to know him he is very energetic and crazy. Sam G is the most dramatic guy I know. He always is impersonating characters from movies,which always gives us sometimes to laugh about. Sam R is the newest person in our gang. He is really shy but after awhile he is very fun to talk to.
I love the people in my gang because they all are very energetic and easy to talk to.
