Today in Computer Lab we learned and "predicted" our futures by learning what kinds of  jobs there is. First we went on a website where we recorded things we needed such as what kind of car we wanted to own. Plus, there were categories where we chose what sort of clothes we would buy. After we answered all the questions, there was a list of jobs that would suit us personally and financially. then, we went on a website where we answered about 180 questions about what we like to do and oppurtunities we would take if we had the chance. The choices were like, dislike, and ? (if we weren't sure). In the end, we got a list that said the kind of job that suits us the best. Overall, my results were: choreographer, dancer, singer, and actor. That requires being on stage A LOT!!!!!

         

   

THE HUNGER GAMES

by Suzanne Collins

374 pages

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is about Katniss who volunteers in a deadly game to save her sister, Prim. Katniss volunteers to be a tribute in the Hunger Games when Prim's name gets picked for her to be in the Hunger Games. This killing game, the Hunger Games, is when twenty four children from twelve districts fight to the death to remind the districts of what they caused when they fought the Capitol. Two children are picked from each district, a boy and a girl. After that, the children are taken to the Capitol where they are prepared for the games, and then they are finally released into the arena where they literally kill each other. In the end there is only one child alive out of twenty-four people. Katniss survives most of the game by herself, fighting off tributes and even the Careers, who are trained to fight in the Hunger Games. Then Katniss meets Rue, who is a small little girl from district eleven. They live and survive together until Rue sadly gets shot and killed by an arrow. Then there is the ANNOUNCEMENT. The new rule is that two people can survive only if they are from the same district. Katniss runs to find Peeta, the boy from her district. She finds him badly hurt, so, through a series of medicine, Katniss heals him. They "fall in love" for the crowd in the Capitol. In the end, Katniss and Peeta win the hunger Games!

SCIENCE LAB



Today in Science Lab, we learned about pollution. Each group had two different color bears, one color was a pollutant, and the other was a bear. We put the bears in a bucket and pulled them out in groups of two. If they were two bears we added another bear and if a pollutant was matched up with a bear, the bear died.  If a pollutant was matched up with another pollutant, we added another pollutant. We went through five generations of bears and added pollutants as we went. Overall, I learned that pollution is killing innocent little animals like bears. :(



Dorm Life at UCLA

Today I learned some facts about UCLA dorm life. First of all, I found out that the dorms are very, very small. Plus, if I went to UCLA I would have to share a room with other students. The dorm consists of 2-3 beds and one desk. You are probably wondering where the bathroom is. Well, it's all the way down the hall. I can't imagine walking so far just to go to the bathroom! At UCLA, there are girl dorms and boy dorms, and sometimes sports teams have their dorms in a certain area. WOW, I learned a lot about the daily life of a student at UCLA!!!

Science Lab

Tday in Science Lab we learned about plastics in the world. Without plastics, we could barely make it through the day. I use plastics from when I wake up in the morning, until I go to bed at night. We all use plastics for almost everything we have. Plastic items include toothpaste, toothbrushes, band aids, shoes, and sooo much more!!!! Plastics are a part of my life more than I thought!!!!!

Science Lab

    In Science Lab, each group saved or killed a bird!!! Each group got a feather and a choice of soaps/cleaners to use. I had to be careful becuase if we scrubbed to hard, the bird would die! In the end, we compared our techniques and observed what worked and what didn't! We had a choice of baby shampoo, pet shampoo, epsom salts, baby powder, hydrogen peroxide, and much more. Xcience LAb was very helpful this week!!

COMPUTER LAB

Today in Computer Lab we went over math skills that will be helpful for CST's. First, I reviewed 2D and 3D shapes and saved the world from robots!!! Some of the skills I reviewed were net shapes and vertices and faces. Finally I reviewed angles, and triangles, and I kept robots from destroying the world in the future!! Overall, Computer Lab was full of skills I needed to review for the upcoming CST's.
