The day I was at my interview with officer manager Lauren she offered to take me on a tour of everything she used to track sleep and to diagnose problems. She showed me lots of things and even showed me a track of a recent patient they had. This patient had bad apnea. The chart was divided into to parts which were when they turned on the machine to help the patient breath and when it was off so they could see if there was an improvement. Each of the two parts had how much the patient move, how long he stopped breathing and random times they woke up and some other things. When she showed me this I noticed it improved a lot once they turn on the machine. She also showed me another special job they had there and I think, I’m not so sure though that was the person who studied the sleep on paper and identified the problem. When she was touring me around she showed me different kinds of beds they use for different situations. One bed was designed for people who are a little bit overweight. The other bed she talked about was a Tempurpedic bed. this is meant for people who can’t sleep at a certain temperature. One cool tool I learned about when I went there was a camera that pat could capture even the slightest of movement and sound. I asked her why do they need to do that and she told me because snoring is actually not a healthy sign if it’s consistent through lots of days and not just a stuffy nose. The camera part of it was to capture unhealthy movements are things like sleepwalking and sleeptalking and other things that I can’t think of or know of. Here are some pictures. 

Constitution project

Hello, readers the whole of last week and this week our class has been working on a constitution project. The first step to this was to roll a die and see what category things we got. The options were Art, Events, technology, documents and the other two I forgot. I rolled art and was first unhappy. Next, we rolled a die for what kind of thing we would use for our presentation. For this, I got something I love Wevideo. After this for me, I had to choose a painting to choose and I chose the painting Franklin At The Constitutional Convention by Joseph Boggs Beale.after 2 days I had only the tiniest bit of work so I decided I was going to study the event artist and the picture.after this, I got really confident and decided to start. I knew a lot about this event but I didn’t about the artist so I did research. Now that I have all of my information I am putting the Wevideo together right now. The voice recordings are a little shaky but otherwise its good.

Interview

Yesterday I left early from school to do my interview. As you may know, my topic is on sleep so I went to a sleep section of a hospital in Stamford. She was the office manager of the sleep section.Her name was Lauren something, She specialized in helping sleeping disorders. After I asked all my questions she offered to show me how they treat people with certain problems and she told me some sleep disorders. After that, since I was asking lots of questions she showed me how they diagnosed peoples problems have. She showed me this confusing paper that tracked somebody who had sleep apnea. This is a bad sleeping problem where you stop breathing consistently and you don’t get sleep because your brain is focusing to make your body breath. It also tracks if they snore because snoring is actually not a healthy to do unless it could just be you have a stuffy nose. I liked this interview because all of her answers made me spark new questions that I will ask for my next interview. This interview also made me want to research more. Overall I learned a lot and this will help boost my presentation a lot. Please look at my interview post.

Spanish restaurant

Some days ago my class and the whole fifth grade went to a restaurant that our Spanish teacher took us to after we learned about the food. The way we did this is everyone split into groups then we each got every dish. I really liked the system because you could eat everything. In this senor johnson made us use Spanish for the whole thing so it was hard. He handed out a paper that had questions we should ask people about the food. I think my favorite part was the fish because it had a good sauce and it was super crispy. I hope I will return.
