So I’m just going to be talking about how I feel about the end of the school year. Honestly, I’m not sure exactly how I feel about school ending. Of course I’m going to be glad that I get a break, but we missed part of the year when Covid-19 hit. So I feel like […]
Ranting about Covid-19
This post is just going to be me talking about my perspective on Covid-19 and school. So if you don’t want to read that, scram! (Just kidding.) Not going to lie, at the very beginning of this whole thing, I was kinda happy about it. Don’t you lie, you were also probably glad that there […]
Recycling
Here’s the question I’m going to be answering today… If you are throwing away plastics because your town recycling won’t take them, but you found out that there are places you could bring those plastics to recycle them, would you? And here is my answer. It depends. Normally, I would say yes, but if it’s […]

I know it sounds simple, like, “Phones were invented because somebody said to themselves, we need a mobile computer.” But why did their brain tell them that? Anyway, I guess if you think […]

These laws state, “…replant the site within two years and it needs to meet green-up standards by six years…by state law we […]
Why boys speak up more than girls
Honestly, I don’t feel that there is any specific reason. I don’t think it’s like boys are more bold than girls or anything like that, I think that it’s just random chance and there just happens to be more boys who speak up than girls. If that isn’t it, then I don’t know why the […]
7th grade tech: Talking about building
Hi, I’m Alexander, and I’m here to talk about building. I feel to “build something” is to put two or more things together to form something else. It doesn’t have to be much different, but it has to be different. I have built stuff before, such as this “birds” nest (I built it, not a […]
Free building
After I finished the flashlight, I tried building some of the challenges. They were too hard, and I just couldn’t build them. Before I knew it, the bell rang, and I couldn’t build anymore.
Flashlight (Final part)
I finished my flashlight! When I put the battery in, it turned on. I put the wiring in the flashlight, then hot glued the switch on. Then, I got to take it home.
