Pumpkin Seedlings

Those are pumpkin seeds that I grew.

I put the seeds in a wet napkin.

We put it in a zip-lock bag so the water wouldn't evaporate.

Now I have to put it in a pot with soil.

Blast Off!

Today I built a model rocket!

It has a nose cone, body tube, launch lug, fins, a parachute, and an engine.

It can go 1,100ft high.

I will take a video of the launch and post it on my blog.

A Trip To Boston

Today I went to the Boston Museum of Science.

I saw snapping turtles!

There was a baby and an adult.

I took these pics:

Ben Franklin

This week I read about Ben Franklin on my audio books. He discovered electricity he seemed pretty cool!
He also built a miniature tower.

Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society.
Quote by Benjamin Franklin

Cam Again

Today I read (with a tape) - Cam Jansen and the Birthday Mystery.

It was about stolen presents and suitcases.

Cam used her amazing memory to help catch the thief.

Book Report

Today I read this book ↑.

It was about a girl with an amazing memory.

She remembers everything and helps solves mysteries.

This book actually wasn't about fudge. It was about a bank robber.

I read all 58 pages by myself - without any help from a CD or from my parents!

Bananagrams Letters

I made another graph yesterday.

I took all the Bananagrams tiles and counted how many there were of each letter.

We knew that we were missing one.

And we found out that it was an "E" because we only had 17 - instead of 18.

Quarters

I filled out most of the map.

But I still need Mississippi, District of Columbia, US Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, New Mexico, Wyoming, Kansas, and Nevada for my state quarter collection.

My Second Spreadsheet

That is my second spreadsheet ↑!!

It is a geometry calculator that will tell you the area of different shapes.

My Negative Nana

My Nana says she is 29 years old. Her birthday is next week.

But my DAD is 35 years old.

So that means my Nana was -6 years old when my Dad was born!!

My First Chart

Today I made a graph.

I rolled my poker dice 20 times and I counted how many 9s, 10s, Jacks, Queens, Kings, Aces, and Jokers I got.

As you can see, I got more Jokers than anything else. And I didn't roll any 10s.

This is called a bar graph.

Poker

Those are poker dice. ↑

I asked my Dad to teach me how to play poker, but he said it was too hard.

I kept asking, he kept saying "no", but finally said, "okay".

He remembered that he had some poker dice as a kid.

So we went to my Nana's house to get them; she NEVER throws anything away.

In the first game I played, I took all my Dad's money - $1.

Good Video Game

This is my favorite video game - Asteroids.

It's an old game that my dad used to play.

You can play the game by clicking the hyperlink.

Family Visitors

That is me and my newest cousin!

He came all the way from Arizona to see me.

I have 11 cousins!

My dad only has 8 cousins. And my mom only has 6 cousins.

Sudoku

I am learning how to play Sudoku.

It is a Japenese math puzzle. You have to use all 5 numbers in each row and in each column.

First Spreadsheet

That is a calculator I made on a spreadsheet.

If you change any of the numbers, the answer changes.

And it's never wrong!

Man vs Wild

One of my favorite shows is Man vs Wild.

This week Bear was in North Africa in the Sahara desert.

When he was hungry, he ate a scorpion!!

Electronics

Today I did some science experiments.

I connected a light to an electric circuit.

I also made an electric circuit through a glass of water.

Then I used that to separate salt into chlorine and sodium.

Day Trip

Today I'm going to Newport, RI to visit my friend.

His mom is having a baby. So they are having a baby shower!!

Big Boy Multiplication

Today I learned how to multiply negative numbers.

Did you know that:

7 * -14 = -98

-5 * -2,000 = 10,000

-5 * -14 * 1.5 * -2 * 10 = -2,100

Camp

This week I am going to LEGO camp.

There we build all sorts of things.

Today I built a house on wheels.

The Number Line

I just finished chapter 1 in my algebra book.

I learned about sets, natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, and infinity.

Did you know that:

10 - (-41) = 51
