Read Aloud Reflection – Wonder – 2

A precept is a is a really important thing.  My precept is FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS NEVER GIVE UP. I think that august is confused because he is not used to school I also think that he is sad and happy . Because he was sad and was crying at his house. Also he is happy to have made new friends. I also think that august will like school and make lots of new friends but the first few days he will still have  a hard time. I also think  that august is trying to make new friends but he is not used so he does not know how to interact with other people.

Maglev train post one

A maglev train is a train that hovers above the track using levitation. When the north pole of one magnet and a north pole of another magnet face each other, they repel which makes them levitate or float. They have to be south to south or north to north to levitate but if you put south to north, it will attract. My group’s idea was to put two strip magnets on the side of the track and five rings in the middle. For the train we put disc magnets all around the side of the train.

We failed making the train because we put north to south not north to north or south to south. It attracted. So next time, we will pay more attention to building and stay together. We won’t go ahead and do our own thing.

It was hard because nobody was listening to each other and we all had our own ideas. No one was listening to each other.  We were not listening to each other which made us start to mess up and then not know what we were doing. Next time we will work more as a group and keep trying if we mess up.

We got are train to levitate and move from one side to the other . the magnets we use

Were strip magnets to short ones on the side of the train and two long on the track.

We did that so it would line up an levitate and float across at least we thought it would work.

 

Testing it out and moving we had no idea what  happened when it fell. then we realized the edges Were different so we tried  to put more tape and that worked so it floated. What we learned is to experiment before doing anything and learning more about what I am doing

 

For the next session  are goal is to get beads or weights on the track and make sure it still floats above the track. We are confident it will work.

My Expert Book – 3L

My expert book is on books. The reason I chose this topic is because I love books. They are my best friends. Put a book in front of me I’ll read it.

For my book I had to go through a lot of stages. First, I had to carefully pick my chapters and make sure they were appropriate to put in my book. The second thing I had to do was writing my whole story on a piece of paper, which took a while. But I finally finished writing on paper. The third thing I had to do was type my my story chapter by chapter, which took so long it felt like forever. But I finally finished typing. The fourth thing I had to do was edit my typing to make sure that there were no errors. The fifth thing I had to do was put in cool stuff like captions, transitions, pictures and lots of others important text features. The final thing I had to do was proofread the whole book.

I really enjoyed putting in words it was like an adventure from words to pictures to published book. What was challenging was typing because it took so long and felt like forever. I hope you fall into reading more than before. Until next time happy reading!!!
