on The work with garage band was fun but challenging. Our goal was to create a 3 track piece representing the New World Symphony and John Williams Jaws. I found it very challenging to make it sound like the symphony. I like my 2nd piece better because all of the tracks blended together very well. I love this unit and I would love to do it again sometime.
on Last night my dad and I work for a 1:30 on Rube Goldberg. We thought of many Ideas but some did not work. We wanted to incorporate gravity into the design. We decided to use a 10 pound weight because we thought it would be enough weight to pull the trigger on the nerf gun.
We used the attic stairs, which are the longest stairs in the house, to allow the 10 pound weight to haven enough momentum to pull the trigger. In order for the weight to fall down the stairs, after the drone crashed into the books, we used two different books to support the weight. We used the Stargirl and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Star girl is a paper back and Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a hard cover. We wanted the books to be uneven so the 10 pound weight would fall in the right direction, down the steps, when the drone crashed into the books. Next we tied a string to the weight then tied the other end to the trigger of the power shot nerf gun.
Next, we realized that the weight would pull the nerf down the stairs when released, so we put a 12 pound weight behind the gun. We chose a 12 pound weight because it is heavier than a 10 pound weight so it would keep the gun in place. We tried this 8 times and the 9th time the weight fell properly down the stairs and the gun fired.
on I think our Rube Goldberg group is not working well together because we are disagreeing and fighting. Sadly this is preventing us from doing our work. Sometimes when Bora and Justin are fooling around, I am the only one doing the work. The thing we are fighting over is our sketch. We are all a little stressed about when it is due and we haven’t even started. We are als
o disagreeing over what task our project will complete. I say it should turn off the lights, my group says it should knock over a king chess piece which is not a task. We are all a little skeptical if our design will work. One main problem is what is heavy enough to turn off the lights.
Gravity is our friend in this project, And this weekend we need to decide what our task is. Using gravity we will knock books over, drop weights, fire a nerf gun, spill dominos, and begin a few other designs. The biggest challenge is working as a group and figuring out our problems. Our goal is to meet expectations and work as a group. I think we can do this.
on I have only had one meet up with my group. During this time we worked on our layout and sketch for our project. We used books, weights, a nerf gun, and a drone and with these we created our first 3 steps. The biggest challenges were making a sketch, finding materials, and working as a group. Three 10 year old boys, all friends, and hungry, on Sunday, can have a hard time focusing. But we had lots of fun and succeeded.

When she started taking flying lessons, she could only take the lessons on the weekends. She had to work at a phone company to pay for the lessons. As a woman, learning to fly was more difficult than if Amelia was a man. Most men learned to fly in the war, but women had to take lessons. In 1924, Amelia’s parents got divorced. She moved to Massachusetts with her mom. Sam, her boyfriend, decided he did not want to marry her, because she had a job.

At 12:15pm on May 10, 2016, a Kindergarten child at Heathcote Elementary School, A Kindergarden student Sammy, was upset because he wanted to lead the line out for recces . The Teacher Aide said “no”, and he began to cry and hit the aide. This is not uncommon, on May 16, 2016 at 12:35, one first grader was fighting another student and an aide tried to stop the fighting, but one first grader yelled at the teacher aide and told her to “stay out of it”. Kids are not treating Lunch Aides with the respect they deserve.
Both students and aides were interviewed about the treatment of lunch aides. The kids believe that they themselves treat the aides with a lot of respect. When asked the question “Do you think other kids in your grade are disrespectful to teacher aides?”, some kids said yes and some said no. The aides were given the question “How do you think kids treat you in the lunchroom?”. The answers were similar. Most said that the kids are disrespectful and believe them to be at a lower level (than their teachers). Why do we think this is? One of the most common answers from aides is that they have no say in the student’s report cards.
The Lunch Aides at Heathcote Elementary School have no way to communicate with parents. Perhaps if they had way of reporting the student’s behavior, the children may give them more respect. If the teacher’s aides could send home weekly reports or even be given space on the student’s report cards, the children would then think more of their behavior.
