I have finally answered my main inquiry question! If you don’t already my main inquiry question is how are computers built. Answering this question among with my sub questions was a difficult task, that took a long time to complete. There were many steps to this like watching videos reading articles and interviewing experts. But it all came done to the same question to answer. But I guess that is it, there is not that many things to talk about

On Tuesday the 29th of may, I went on my capstone site visit yay. For my sight visit I went to a computer repair shop in the Scarsdale village. I drove there with my dad, It took some time to find a parking space. When we got in the first thing I noticed was that there was a computer right next to the door. I looked at it a little and then my dad and I went up to an employee and asked him a couple questions about computer building. I asked him four questions. He answered all of them very well. At the end of my mini interview I went to look around at all the cool computers they had in the store/repair shop. After all that we left the store and went home. I had a pretty good experience in the store. Well that was my site visit, capstone is log from over but I think it will be a good capstone experience.

The time has come, we are finally starting capstone, the project everyone looks forward to. We started about a week ago and so far we have only gotten to pick a topic. The first thing we did was do this inquiry sheet which helped narrow down our ideas for a topic. A lot of people including me already had an idea of what we wanted to do before the project started. I wanted to do computers. Then a couple of days later everyone told our teacher the main topic they were going to do and a backup topic, my back was Alexander the Great. Then we had to do a thing called a curriculum wheel were there are different subjects on the wheel and you had to write at least one question based on each of the subjects. Some of the subjects where Science, Math, Geography, Art, Music, Economics, Culture and daily life. You might think how can I write a question about art when my topic is computers? Ya I don’t know either but I did. I really hope there is enough info for computers because I really like the topic. Continue reading
Welcome to 5th grade (5R)
My 5th grade year has begun I am looking forward to going to Philadelphia because I heard from past 5th graders that is was a very fun trip. I want to see the liberty bell and ring it if your allowed. And I am also really looking forward to doing the capstone project I think It will be the best part of the year.
By the end of the year I want to be a better and faster reader because right now I am quite slow. But hopefully my teacher can help me get better. I also want to become a better and more sophisticated writer with better vocabulary.
