We had to do a poster on a person from the Renaissance. I did my poster on Sir Isaac Newton. I used Sir Isaac Newton because I thought it was cool that he discovered the law of gravity. I put this on here because I thought everyone might like to know how Sir Isaac Newton became famous.
We have been using Google Earth Flight simulator. In this we can fly an F-16 or a single engine plane. You can basically fly anywhere in the world, but with difficult controls. I have been using an F-16 to fly in San Francisco by the San Francisco 49ers old stadium.
We had to do this thing called Nitro Type. In this it is basically a fun way to learn to type faster. I type 32 words per minute. Although most of my friends beat me I still find Nitro Type fun. To do the race you have to type the small paragraph as fast as you can while trying to type fast enough to beat your friends to the finish line.
On this we had to talk about what people who perform the hajj have to accomplish. All of these are part of the yearly hajj.
I wrote this poem to talk about the fall of the Western Roman empire.In this unit we learned about Rome and all of its great accomplishments, but sadly there came a tragic end to its wonderful empire.We learned how the Romans fought, how they lived, and how there empire came to a tragic end.There empire came to an end when the Barbarians attacked Rome for not being kind to their people.Since the Romans had such a great empire, they had to chose to protect themselves or to protect their outlets of trade.If want to know a bit more read the poem, or essay, to the right about the fall of Rome.
We just finished using code.org. In this we had to do all sorts of puzzles and things like drawing with a little zombie guy.
