Today in la we made posters on proverbs. An example of one is

don’t cry over spilt milk

an apple a day keeps the doctor away

don’t count your chickens until they hatch

actions speak louder than words

Children Have Wide Ears and Long Tongues

Walk before you can run

Then you would take one and rephrase it so it means the same but it uses different words . like…

actions speak louder than words

rephrased: deeds talk greater than sayings

Than you would make a poster with a picture of deeds talk greater than sayings.

Math friday

jaime6l — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 22:50:48 +0000

In math class we had a test on multiplying fractions and I did pretty good on it. This is how you do it.

1 4/5 multiplied by 8/9.

2 4 times 8 equals 32

3 5 times 9 equals 45

answer 35/45

You also can reduce it by dividing the denominator(top) by the numerator(bottom)

1 35 / 5 equals 7

2 45 /5 equals 9

FINAL answer 7/9

The Dangerous Bird Flu

jaime6l — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 19:32:04 +0000

This flu can kill many people and it comes from birds. There has been a few people known for having it in 1918,1957,and1968. This bird flu is also known as the H5N1 or Avian flu. It can spread in the whole world in 3 months and it can be transferred by air, birds, or human. If it can reach us we could have no school, no electricity, no stores. This is not funny in any way it is life threating! It could be around for 12 weeks! You would have to stay in a safe place and if you heard about it coming I would go stock up on food and water because you could just sit in a room for 12 weeks . This could be world wide news and dangerous. I’m sorry if I’m scarring you but it probably wont happen. If you get it stay away from other people and see a doctor A.S.A.P.

India Video

jaime6l — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 17:34:02 +0000

Today in s.s. we watched a movie on India it showed the Taj Mahal, the old and new Delhi, Varanasi, and the Ganges river. First we will learn about Taj Mahal witch was a building made for the shahs wife who died after her 15th child. This building was made from 1632-1648 thats 16 years of labor with 20,000 people working on it thats a lot of time and effort!Next we will learn about th Ganges river. That river was 1,560 miles long and that is were people prayed. Also it went from the Himalayas mountain to the Indian Ocean. Many people believed that Shiva was to protect them if they went in it. That religion was Hindu and 670,000,000 people believed in it. Last we will learn about the town Varanasi. It was very important because they come there before they die. In that city when the British ruled India they built railroad tracks everywhere and if you were to go there that is probably how you would travel.

This is people bathing in the Ganges and washing there clothes.

Febuary 9, 2007 Friday Math

jaime6l — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 22:36:07 +0000

Today in math class we had a test on adding and subtracting fractions. At first I didn’t get it but when I had more practice I mastered it. This is an exsample of it….

5 1/2 + 6 1/2

step1: make equal denominators

1/2= 3/6

1/3= 2/6

Step2: 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6

Step3:5+6=11+the 5/6

Now if you were subtracting you would have to borrow from the whole number.

Oil in the World

jaime6l — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 02:12:10 +0000

For homework tonight we were supposed to write a paragraph on a paper we read. So, Oil is the most important item traded between countries. Everybody want it but countries who live on it control prices for what is needed at that time. I asked my self before I kept reading the paper if 2.6 trillion barrels of oil still left on the ground is a lot. I said yes so I kept reading and it said no because theirs so much more oil in the world that the oil their is nothing compared to the overall amount. 2 out of 3 people in my family new what OPEC stands for. What is it my dad said as I responded(from the paper) OPEC is Organization of Petroleum ExportingCountries. That means a group of different people from each country (with good amount of oil) come together to discuss prices of oil. Did you know that you use oil at leas 1 time in a day?Most people saddly don’t think their using it. But the amount we have is dropping because we keep asking for more from heating your house to driving your car. I was thinking to my self about how we can change it and what we can do to help not using it while their trying to find ways. I am sure there are some ways out there but VERY expensive!!!!!!!

Ottoman Empire

jaime6l — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 00:26:38 +0000

Dear Clay Aiken,

The Ottoman empire was ruled by people very good. It was a good system and

lasted from 1300 to 1922 more than 6 centuries. People loved it!!!!!!!!! Slavery was little practiced it was not approved of having them!!!!!!!! You could think of Devshirmeh as a type of slavery wich was them getting little boys and using for their wars.The Ottoman Empire was ruling in Turkey and it was the

longest one to rule. Also, people conquerd Constantine in the 1400s. Now thats why

they call it Istanbul there capital or Constantinople. Then it ruled Southeastern Europe, North Africa, and Southwest

Asia which was a powerful country at that time. Finally World War 1 broke it up saddly. Altough they won the Battle of Plocnik. These people that lived in Turkey at that time weren’t Ploytheists they were mostly Christian or Jews Your Friend,

Today we learned about Algebraic Expressions and went over homiework. Algebraic Expressions does not have an answer it just tells you how to solve a problem.

An example of that is I have x dogs and Cassie has 3 more than me.

X + 3 is the answer

After that we made pictures to go with our Algebraic Expression problems and I did mine on basketball. I like doing fun ways to practice math! Also we are going to Channel three country camp this week and I hope we have fun.
