Hi Mrs. S here i my homework

What is your favorite type of weather (sun, snow, fog, sleet, storms, hail...) Why?
My favorite type of weather is sunny. I think that because when it is sunny out I can go outside and play. But if it is a rainy day you have to stay in the house (or school) all day. I like sunny days because when we are in school we get to go outside and go on the monkey bars. I’m happy that we it’s finally sunny after so many days of rain.

Leo

here is my homework

my favorite type of weather would have to be a tie between sunny and snowing. in the summer when its sunny you can go in oceans. you can go surfing, you can go in an outdoor pool and not freeze your butt off,you can go to the beach and lay in the warm sun.
but in the winter its all snowy and you can throw snow balls, you can go skiing or snowboarding, you can go sledding, you can build igloos, and you can drink hot cocoa.

that is why i like when its sunny and when its snowy

During Hurricane Irene we lost power for four days. It was hard and boring because there's no electricity and we had to go to my neighbor's house to get power to charge my Ipod.

Emily

9/11/2011 08:25:33 am

My favorite type of weather is when it is sunny. There are plenty of fun activites to do outside. You could go swimming, play with friends or enjoy time on a beach or park. Sunny weather makes me feel happy!

Sophia

Here is my homework,

My favorite type of weather is fog. It is my favorite because it is cool when you can’t see a few feet in front of you. Also there is a cloud around you and it is like you are in the air but you are not you are on the earth. When it is foggy it is usually humid air and I love humid air it feels good, hot but wet. That’s why I love fog.

Q. What is your favorite type of weather (sun, snow, fog, sleet, storms, hail...) Why?

A. I like snow storms because, (1) it's great smowboarding weather, (2) when there is a huge snow storm, and i'm not at a ski lodge and school is cancelled, (and then I just go sledding) finally (3) when it's bitterly cold and I can't go out side I just LOVE sitting by the fire, drinking hot chocolate and watching TV with my family

What is your favorite type of weather (sun, snow, fog, sleet, storms, hail...) why?
My favorite weather is sun because I get to go outside with my friends and play soccer and go in a pool. i like it because I’d rather have sun than rain. I also like snow because I get to go skiing and there is no school. These are my favorite two weathers.

This summer I was in North Carolina when Irene hit the following morning. My family and I started to head out of my house and into the car. Irene was quickly coming from behind. We hit some rain in Pennsylvania all the way back home. When we got home everything was fine no trees on the house and then the power went out. Luckily we had a generator, are power was out for two days and then everything went back to normal.

What is your favorite type of weather (sun, snow, fog, sleet, storms, hail...) why?

I like the snow. I like the snow because you can go sledding. You can also have a snowball fight or make a snowman. I also like eating snow. that is why I like the snow.

Ellie

9/12/2011 09:27:18 pm

What is your favorite type of weather?

Sunny weather is my favorite type of weather. If it is sunny you can always go outside because when storms are about to hit it gets cloudy. When you are outside while the sun is out you can be in the shade or the sun but if your'e in the sun it's usually quite warm.
Also the sun is nice because when it's sunny the sky is almost always a vivid blue. That is why i like sunny weather best.

Hi Mrs. S here is my homework:

I’m planning my project by doing a paragraph a night and sometimes in the library. I created a calendar on my own each night I write paragraph as I said. I also find pictures to put on my poster. I have written one paragraph and found pictures. The next step to my project is researching and drafting then putting it on my poster board. I have not had any problems yet and I hope to keep it that way. The thing I like about my project so far is learning more and more about hurricanes and coming up with names for you’re paragraphs.

Katie

10/4/2011 10:40:00 am

I’m really interested in this project because I can actually relate to how it feels to be in a hurricane because we just had one recently. It’s also really interesting how much a hurricane can do in such a short amount of time. It can hurt people and it can ruin a lot of property. Right now in the project I’m researching my last topic and then I’m going to start drafting my notes. I’m really feeling good on where I am in the project right now -- no stressing! I’m sort of using the calendar you gave me, but on some days I’m not. Some days I’ll do two things instead of one and on other days I’ll do one or none.

I love using LEGO’s and I love the work my group has done so far. It’s so much fun building our project and seeing how it’s turning out, and watching it go forward. It’s so cool. My group is doing a good job keeping up with everybody else and pushing ourselves to keep going. We are also sharing, so everyone in the group is doing the same amount of work. Our challenges as a group have been to figure out how many sensors we wanted. We could not agree on how many, so that was a big problem, but we did compromise.

I learned that LEGO’s are not just about having fun and fooling around. You can make a robot do anything pretty much and it’s really interesting how you can do that. I learned that I really do not like when somebody bosses people around and tells people what to do. I also learned that I like when everybody in the group shares an idea instead of one person doing everything. The more the ideas, the better. I would like to work on the programming with the PACE mentors.

Erin

10/13/2011 07:14:28 am

I forgot to add this:
I things I like about the LEGO’S Is that you can make what you wanted, after you finish you’re basic robot. What I found out about myself in this unit is that i like to build things and it gets my mind thinking about different things

Erin

10/16/2011 09:43:01 am

Hi Mrs. S, here is my homework:

When the Pace students were standing around the room I felt like I was so small. They seemed to be coming closer and closer. One of the things that I learned from the Pace students is that one of the wheels was in front of the other. The second thing I learned is how to program our robot. They taught me how to find the program on the robot. We interacted well with the Pace students. Once the robot was moving, we interacted much more. It was a lot of fun and I hope we can do this again.

Today when I got back from the bathroom, I saw all these tall college students who were right in the doorway. It was awkward trying to squeeze my way past them to get to my seat. It was pretty scary when I saw them. When we were in the hallway, my group was a little shy with each other. We kept on asking questions about the robot and other stuff just to get to know them better and to get the sense of their personalities. Working together, we learned that the back wheel had put too much back weight on the robot, so we had to fix that. Also, the wheels should not be rubbing against each other because if they do, they will start twitching and vibrating which makes the robot unable to go forward without falling over. By the end of the day, our robot could go forward and I had a better comfort level with the college students.
