For technology homework this week we had to make beams. This task was very fun for me even though it took a while. I like how I got to make two beams and compare them. I also liked how this task took a long time because it felt like a short time even though it took a while. I made one I-beam and one regular beam. The I-beam was definitely a lot stronger than the regular beam. Overall this task was very fun for me and I really enjoyed it. Here are my beams this is the I beam

This is the regular beam

This quarter I am super exited for tech class! I’m really exited to do some new and cool projects such as building, and doing stuff with glue. I’m also super exited to learn about the history of glue and stuff like that. I’m sad that we can’t be in school for this quarter because we can’t use the materials that we would usually use for tech class, such as a saw, and hot glue. Even though we are doing tech at home I’m still super exited for this class!

This weekend I transferred energy by riding my bike. I did this when I ate food the energy went into my body and when I pedaled the bike that energy was used to move the chain which made the wheels go fast which made my bike move fast.

Energy is the ability to do work. This basically means that if we didn’t have energy we wouldn’t even be able to nod our heads! That’s why energy is important. There are two types of energy there is potential energy, and there is kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy which is like when you are riding up a roller Coster and before you get to the top of it. It’s when its going up. Once you get to the top it stops and turns into kinetic energy which is the energy of motion. Kinetic energy occurs when you are going down the big hill of the roller coaster. There are other types of energy but these are the most important ones.

 

If you are going into 4th grade I want you to know that 4th grade was so fun and enjoyable. My class and I learned so much. There were some struggles in 4th grade but everyone got through them. In 4th grade my class liked learning about math, science, and reading. My class also enjoyed some of the events we had. Some of the events were our revolutionary war book presentation, our kayaking trip and a visit to a colonial school. My whole class loved all of the events.

In 4th grade we study current events. You’re probably wondering what is a current event and how do you do it? Current event is a writing piece about an article that has a current date. To do a current event all you have to do is find a current article and write a summary about it. Most of our class had a great time writing and presenting our current events.

In 4th grade you have to do the reading, math and science State Test. For most people the state test was easy for them. For me it was a mix. Some problems were hard and some were easier than the others. If you are scared about the state test, don’t be because its not as hard as it seems.

4th grade was so thrilling and fun. My teacher was the nicest most caring teacher in the whole wide world. Thank you so much Mrs Assatly for teaching me all the stuff I didn’t know in the beginning of the year. To all the new 4th graders I hope you enjoy 4th grade.

Summary:

Do you want to know something crazy? Scientists made up a ice cream that melts more slowly that what exists today. You’re probably wondering how they did that. The process for doing this is very complex, but basically they took parts of the banana plant and put it in the ice cream. They put small pieces of the “rachis” in the ice cream. (see picture bellow) 

If you are  wondering what it is like, researchers found that it is very thick and creamy. What the researchers did was very amazing because now if I get that ice Cream it won’t get all over me. I wonder what the food scientists will think of next maybe Candy that doesn’t give you cavities?

Summary:

Guess what? A couple days ago someone was walking and saw a “Fire Rainbow”. A Fire Rainbow is a very unique rainbow that looks like a very big and cool spiral. Fire Rainbows are very hard to find and are caused by light passing through clouds. They are also caused by moonlight.

If you think Fire Rainbows are easy to find you are wrong. Fire Rainbows are very rare and hard to find. Barely anyone finds them.

I think that Fire Rainbows are really cool and pretty. I hope that one day I will see one in real life, but that probably won’t happen. I guess I will settle on a picture for now!

Tweet: A super cool Fire Rainbow just appeared over California’s Pinnacle National Park.

This year on Earth Day some amazing people did some amazing things for the environment by taking some of the garbage and plastic out of the ocean. They worked very hard and put in a lot of time and effort to remove plastic from the Ocean. At the same time, they did a very nice thing for their town.

 

A man named David Katz said, “The only way to stop ocean plastic is to reveal the value into the hands of collectors.” That’s what these amazing people did. The people helped a whole town in addition to the entire planet. They helped us by taking some of the pollution out of the water. They helped the town by making lights out of plastic. Isn’t that so cool. I think it is very cool.

 

These amazing people also made it easier for animals to survive by removing some dangerous straws that animals can swallow. I learned that when I get straws at  restaurants, the straw ultimately goes into the trash and then animals can get them. I wouldn’t recommend having another straw!

 

I think these people did a amazing thing. And of course, happy earth day!

 

Things My Friend And I Have In Common

Ari and I are “bftfs” which means best friends together forever. We have a lot in common. One thing we have in common is that we both have dogs. We also look exactly alike. Finally, we both love to bake.

Ari and I both have dogs and we love them. My dog’s name is Penny and her dog’s name is Sadie. A couple days ago Penny and Sadie had a playdate. That did not go so well. This is what happened. I brought Penny over for a playdate with Sadie at Ari’s house. Once I got there, I let go of her leash, and boom! It was just like the show Tom and Jerry! Penny chased Sadie around the entire house while Sadie hid under the chairs and couches. I think I know why Sadie was afraid of Penny. It was probably because Penny is more than three times larger than Sadie! When I got home, I got a text from Ari saying that Sadie would not come out from under the couch.

The next thing that we have in common is our looks. One time Ari and I were going to the library together. Mrs Schorr was checking out our books. She checked my book out as Ari, and checked Ari’s book out as me!  Another time at a birthday party, I went to say happy birthday to the birthday girl and she said, “thanks Ari” and then Ari said happy birthday to her and she replied, “thanks Cami”. I guess we really do look alike!

The last thing that Ari and I have in common is that we both love to bake. One time there was a very bad blizzard and I lost power at my house. I was lucky enough to stay at Ari’s house. Since we both love to bake, we made chocolate marshmallow brownies and chocolate chip cookies together. Ari’s mom made us include our younger siblings in the activity. Ari and I made the brownies, and my brother and her sister made the cookies. In the end they turned out very yummy.

Ari will be my “bftf” forever and ever and ever. We are like milk and cookies or peanut butter and jelly. We will be friends forever and nothing can stop it, not even an occasional fight.
