WHAT IN THE NAME OF FLYIN FLADOODLES???!!!!

Hey guys! Alli and I were at Science Olympiad today. We didn't get any medals for 2/3 of our events. We were waiting and getting so excited hoping we would win our last event, Animal or Vegetable or Mineral. But then, the anouncer ended the award ceremony without calling the event! He said that he would anounce it later on that day, and Alli and I were like 'Nobody is going to be here!' Then he left. We were furious, along with other kids, we imagined. It hurt us so much. WE DO NOT LIKE THOSE GUYS!!!!! They are super horrible. It's not fair. Can you guys believe it?

Computer Lab

         Today in computer lab, the room 14ers picked up a lot of information. We used the British Bitesize Math website to prepare for the CST. We played games that taught the lesson on the central measures of tendency, probability, and frequency diagrams, and afterwards, we took a test to see if we understood the lesson or not. If we missed one, we would have to start over the lesson, but if we didn't miss any, we got to move on to the next topic. With the help of Bitsize Math, the room 14ers got to learn some new subjects, and prepare for the CST.

Funny!

After school today, Allison and I were reading over our ancient civ. stuff together, while eating Hershey's Milk Chocolate Kisses with Almonds. Allison pulled out a Hershey's Almond Kiss, but it was a regular one! We don't why a regular one was in an almond bag, but all we know, is that it was really funny.

Science Lab

               Mrs. Martines taught us new and interesting things having to do with science. We learned about differnet resources, and got into detail about where they were from, what they were, and what the uses of the resource were. We found out that 42% of our energy is from natural gas, over things that were 2%, such as solar and water power. The room 14 students also learned that nuclear power, the resource that caused Japan's horrible tsunami, is so dangerous, that Fresno put up a ban that no more nuclear plants be built. Today's science lab handed out a lot of knowledge to room 14 students.

Computer Lab

          The making of rich, creamy, and sweet chocolates, our own online math tutor, and much more. We, room 14ers, learned many interesting and new things in computer lab today. We went to different sites including Wonderopolis, and the Khan Academy. We watched videos of how people make chocolate. First, they take the chocolate powder, mix it with milk, and roll them into little wet squares. To make the design, they put a special sheet of paper, with a design, on the melty chocolates, and the design appears on them! We also saw Mr. Salman Khan with the Khan Academy on a PBS interview, and learned how Salman started his math tutoring in a little closet, and then Bill Gates discovered him, and his amazing work, and paid him 3 million dollars for people to start working with him. Then,Google discovered him, and paid him 1 million dollars to have even more people with him. We learned about the wonders of fancy delights, the discovery of our math genius Salman, and many other things in the computer lab!
