Yesterday we went to a field trip. The field trip was at UCI. At first I thought it was gonna be small, but when we got their it was big. Once we got of the bus our tours greeted us and showed us around. He showed us why a building did not have windows. He said because they do some labs and people outside can look at them and they could get distracted and mess up with the lab. That is why they did not put windows. While we were walking he was telling us about the buildings. We stopped where there was a fountain and he said that they weren't actually anteaters at the beginning, the had some ideas like a unicorn, they did not like that mascot. They asked a guy that read lots of comics and he said an anteater they said that they liked it and at the first water polo game the were called the anteaters.
In AVID we had to start to do a college poster and we had to choose what college or university you wanted to research. My poster was gonna be the University of Notre Dame. The University of Notre Dame is located in the state Indiana. Their school mascot is a Irish Leprechaun. The mascot usually played on football games. To get in to the school you need to take certain classes. Not only classes but you also need to pay money. They do not have a school pledge or creed. But they do have a mission statement. Notre Dame is a catholic school. They have a grotto to pray. Students could also go to church there.
This week in Science I learned that peppered moth survive by blending in with their surroundings. We had to find a partner and one partner hides some paper moth and your partner has to find them. In Social Studies we had to do a project about medieval times. My group got the crusades of the middle east. In Math we learned how percents are used in math problems. They also showed us how to use 10 percents with the problems. In Language Arts we are learning about the Symposium that is coming up. We are in groups and we have to come up with a good question and research on it, we have to end up with a question (said Ms. Romeo.) In P.E. we had to run the mile some people did not run the mile because they had a mile pass and Mr.Glenane said that we should save it till the last run witch is coming up on May. In AVID we had to do a TRF on Monday like every other Monday, and we also had to do a reflection. My question focused on how do you solve 10 percent problems.
