Whimsyrighthere's Blog

At my house, my bedroom caught on fire, personally, it was terrifying.

The cleaner guys, after they cleaned my room, they had to gut my room.

Here is a website about plants, it has articles, videos, and inter actives.

Just yesterday I planted some plants. So far I’ve only planted,

Delphinium,

Petunia,

Rosemary,

Zinnia,

Oregano,

Parsley,

and Begonias.Here I am picking a pot to useHere I am filling the pots with dirt

I am not quite sure what I am doing here, my mom didn’t get the picture high enough

These are some of the things that I used

More supplies

Here I am putting dirt into the pots that I am going to useHere I am holding a Begonia Rhizome, you can see the two white stumps, those are where the flower is going to grow, so we have to face those upwardThese are some of the plants that my mom was already growing.  The white pot is growing spaghetti squash.  We had it for supper one night and my mom planted the seeds.This is growing from butternut squash seeds from a different supper.

As I go along, I will take pictures and post them, but for now, this is all. 🙂

I am doing a project about my great-grandmother and I.

On a site called

http://www.piknic.com

I am making a collage of her and I together, showing how much we look-alike.

So far I have just finished the photo, and moving on to what it was like to be 12 and working for a living.

First I will write a short essay on the book Factory Girl, then put in the photo of my great-grandmother and I, Finally, I will record every thing I’ve done onto my blog

Mom says:

The quarter is over and you still have things in the pot.

It’s time to slow down and see what you got.

Math, it was fine and an A gets the reward

Science not so good (C) and should consider the tward

Social is something that could use a bit more work,

But PE and Art are definately a perk.

So that’s four A’s and two C’s

Not bad overall

The rest of the year will be quite a breeze.

for a Hero Essay.  Only this essay needs to be a digital story or set up like a lit trip.  Here is an example of what other kids have done.

You cannot pick Justin Bieder.

Here is Lake Otis’s 1% art.

This is a video I took of the words that are under the 1% art. The words are,

Late us take the Ribbons, Black ones from Africa, Yellow ones from Asia, White ribbons of Europe, Brown ones of the Middle East, and Red Ribbons of the Americas. With then we will weave a beautiful and sacred tapestry that cannot be soiled by our prejudices.

Here is the actual sculpture,

Here I’m standing next to the sculpture.

Here is the sculpture from the end.

Here it is from the front.

From the middle,

The whole sculpture again.

My thoughts on this sculpture is, they did well showing that all races, could, and can go together. I like how all of the ribbons are intertwined, and all the colors seem to go together. Some of them are longer than others, but they still go together. When I think about it, I have never gone to a school where there weren’t different types of races. My mom said when she went to school, all of the students were white, and everybody was moving away to get away from the integration.

There are other sculptures through out the school.  They are of the Alphabet, and the photos will be uploaded, either later today or later this week.

Mom says:

I don’t know quite how to do it yet.

E-Learning Summit 2008

and teachers with enough “umph” to do things like this:

The list from yesterday, I got nine out of twelve things done. My thoughts on the list is. . . . . . . . .

It’s good to have a list, it helps you organize, and plan what your going to do next. The things I got done I will take off of the list, except for the things I do everyday like my algebra. The things I don’t do every day, and I didn’t get done, I will put on the list for today. When my mom doesn’t fallow her list, she forgets a lot of things, which usually includes my brothers custard, and he ends up even more grumpy than he usually is. When I forget things, I get frustrated, so its always good to do everything on your list if you have one.

Here is my list for today,

1.  Read the second chapter of Factory girl, on my own

2. Upload all photos I took yesterday

3. Review the prompts that Ms.Oherra opened for me to use in Jacks My Access

5. Review ancient and modern Chinese fashion, and begin drawing pictures

6. Begin putting down my thoughts about high heels vs foot binding

7. Practice some more using tags in my posts

8. Read third chapter of Factory Girl with mom before bed

9. Nam three good things

10. Sleep peacefully

Mom says:  Better add “remember to use spellcheck” on there somewhere.  What do you do if you don’t get things done.  What if you are 80 years old and still have the same thing on your list?  Maybe it wasn’t important to start with, you think?
