This is what I learned in The Story of the World.  The Franks settled down in Gaul next to the Roman citizens who already lived there.  Then 2 other tribes called Allemani and Burgundians came and settled down too.  Even though the Burgundians, Allemani, Roman citizens and the Franks didn't like each other a guy named Merovius joined together all of them so they could fight the Huns together.

For piano this week I'm playing Sunburst Waltz and Taps.

In Gymnastics today I did a pull over.

Monks

I read The Magic School Bus in the Time of the Dinosaurs and did Comparing Improper Fractions and Mixed Numbers on Khan Academy

On Karel I got input from the user using readLine.

In chapter 3 of The Story of the World, I read about monks.  When there were no books the monks had to write them.  They made a special kind of paper called parchment.  This is how they made parchment : First they put cow or sheep skins in running water for several days .  Then they soaked it again in a barrel full of water and lime for several days more.  Finally they stretched out the skin, scrape of the hair with a knife and attach it to a frame so it can dry.  When the skin dried, they would take it of the frame and wet it again.  After that they rub it with a rough stone.  When the skin had dried it would have to be cut into rectangles folded over to make pages and stitched together to make booklets.

The Electric Field Trip

Hi!

Today I read The Magic School Bus and the Electric Field Trip.  I learned that everything is made out of atoms, and inside atoms is the nucleus and the electrons.  The nucleus makes the atom have weight and the electrons take all the other space.  When electrons run through a wire it's called an electric current. The word current comes from the words "to run".   When the electric current stops flowing from the power plant to the community it's called a blackout. When extra electrons stick to tiny droplets of water or ice in a storm, and enough of them gather in one spot they can jump from the clouds to the ground.  This is called lightning.

I also read Happy Birthday Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, and went skateboarding under the freeway on the Mountains to Sea Trail.

Fractions on the Number Line 3

I did Fractions on the Number Line 3.

On Karel I started Basic Javascript and Graphics.

Little house in the big woods.

Hi!

I like Little House in the Big Woods. It is a very good book. It is about a family who lives in a big woods.  The people are named Laura, Mary, Ma, Pa and baby Carrie. They went  to there grandpas house and had a party there. They were dancing and the grandma and the grandma's son were jigging and the grandma's son got tired and the grandma won!

Their candy is hard maple syrup.  This is how they make it :  Get a pan of snow and  pour a little bit of maple syrup in the pan and keep on doing that 4 times in the same pan. Let it harden until it's chewy. Then you eat it.

Jump Roping

Hi everyone!

Today I jump roped 36 times!  I found a really cool jump roping video.

On Monday I scraped my knee on the ground and the day after that I had my flex try outs. When the try outs were almost over I hit my knee on the ground again! I am doing try outs today too. I think my knee will be fine though.


I found a Cashflow game online if you want to play with me. Tell me the name of your game.  You can email me if you want to play with me.

Beowulf the hero

Hi!
This is what i learned today;

I learned that the Celts were British warriors and the story of Beowulf the hero.  This is how it goes....
Once there was a warrior named Beowulf.  He was very strong.  Sometimes the other warriors would go to fight the giant, Grendel.  But every time they went to see Grendel he would eat them all up when they were sleeping.  Then Beowulf went to fight Grendel with his men.  Then Grendel  tried to eat one of Beowulf men and Beowulf twisted Grendel's arm and the arm fell off!  Grendel ran out of the room and drowned in a lake.

I learned how to indent the code on karel. First you indent the top code then the code insid that code and then the code inside that code and you keep doing that until you don't have any code left. The last code should be indented the most.

While loops

Hi!
Today I learned while loops on Karel. A while loops makes the thing you typed go over and over again and makes the stuff stop when something you typed is true. A while loops look like this:

 while (frontIsClear( )){
            putBall( );
            move( );
}

This week i am doing Boxcar Rumble and A Day at the Carnival for piano.

I learned on How Things Work an object that is in motion stays in motion and if you push against a skater and I push against the same skater at equal force the skater will not go anywhere.

In the Story of the World I learned that when people first made pyramids they were white. And the Romans called the Visigoths, Vandals, Huns, Goths and Ostrogoths barbarians.

If statements, Inertia

Hi!
Today I learned if statements in Karel.  If statements are thing like if you have the ball move two times. Or else if you don't have the ball turn left. This is what an if statement and looks like:


if (haveBall) {
    move();
    move();
}
else{
    turnLeft();
}

I learned science on How Things Work. I learned that a thing that is still stays still unless you push it. It is called Inertia. If you put some stuff on the table with a cloth on the table and you put the cloth off the things will stay in the same spot they have always been.

I did spelling on page 64 in Why Johnny Can't Read.

There's a one line comments and several line comments. In the beginning on the one line comments there are two slashes like this //. And in the beginning of the several line comments there is a slash multiplication star like this /*. And at the end like this*/.
