Science
This week in science we are learing about the heart. A heart attack happens when muscle cells do not get enough blood. Without oxygen, heart muscle cells may be damaged. If enough heart muscle cells are damaged the heart may stop. Heart failure happens when the heart is too weak to pump enough blood to meet the body needs. A heart attack happens when an artery to the heart is blocked.
Math
In math this week we have been learning about distance, time, and speed. To find the the distance you have to multiply the time and speed. To find the time you have to divide the distance and speed. To find the speed you need to divide the distance and time. Using a triangle and cutting it into 3 pieces and putting the distance on top and the time and speed at the bottom can help u more on knowing if you either have to divide or multiply to get your answer.
E.L.A
A sentence structure contains simple sentences, compound sentences and complex sentences. The simple sentences are just really basic sentences with information. The compound sentences have two complete thoughts that are called independent clauses. The complex sentences is one independent clause and one or more subordinate clause. But some have both like compound and complex together.
Social Studies
A haiku is a form of poetry that contains 17 syllables in three lines.The first line contains five syllables, the second line contains seven syllables, and the third line contains 5 syllables. They were used to make quick humorous images on there mind. Japanese haiku have some reference to the season.
Avid Assigments
End Of Semester Speech
This semester I have learn a lot of new things from each class.In my science class I learned about the eyes of a human and animal and in class we even diseacted one. In E.L.A we learned about fear and how people react to fear and that we also all react in different ways. In social studies we learned about the pass, ancient history and about china and how it was there. In math we learned about the value of shapes and how u can find it. This semester has really help me learn a lot about every subject and i even have improved my grades.
3 Specefic Goals
1.My Goals for this month is to get my grades up in ever class
2.This moth am going to study more to get better grades on my test
3.I am not going to get any more homework cards for the rest of the year
2.This moth am going to study more to get better grades on my test
3.I am not going to get any more homework cards for the rest of the year
Reflection
I have achieved my first goal by getting my grades up on math and science. But I still need to get more help in getting my grades up on E.L.A and social studies. I have study a lot more over the pass month to get better grades on my test.But I did not complete my goal of not getting any homework cards because this moth I got my first homework card in avid because I wasn't being responsible.
TRF Reflection
My point of confusion was, what is the value of each shape, if the total weight is 54.
What I learned about my point of confusion is that I can give a value to each of the branches by using division. Find branches with single shapes, to give value to that shape, add the remaining shapes to equal the entire branch.
I gained a new understanding of my point of confusion when I use division to help me figure out the value of each shape, and also using guess and check also helped me figure out my confusion.
This learning is important because it connects to my previous learning , myself or my world in the following way because it helped understand math a lot more and it helped me know how to salve puzzles by using division and guess and check.
What I found meaningful about today's tutorial session is when people in my group were helping me out on figuring out how to solve the puzzles.

Avid
In avid we have done a lot of tutorials and i have learned and gained a greater understanding in math. Also by doing cornell notes i have learned alot more about all my classes by writing questions and answering them as notes and writing a summary at the end. In the field trip we had to uci i had a really great time because it was a great opertunity to go look at the whole campos.
Social Studies
In social studies we were working on a news paper about Medieval times.I have learnd and gande alot of knowlege after researching everything that happened during the medieval times.I learned about how the society was in medieval times and who the people were in the feudal structure. I also learned about the goverment during the medieval time and that charelmagne was the king of the franks. I now know that the crusades was maily about the military campaigns by the latin roman catholic church.Christianity is a religion based on people and teachings of Jesus.We have also learned about the black death and that it is a desease caried by rats during the medial ages.
Science
In science I their are four steps of the natural selection is the overproduction, Inherited variation, struggle to survive, successful Reproduction. The overproduction is about how many eggs or baby that animals hatches. The survivel part is about how that animals is struggling to survive. They need to get better at adapting to their environment.Their offspring may inherit the traits that help them survive.
Pe
In pe we were doing the fitness gram challenge. We had to do the trunk lift and lay on are tummys and put are head up as high as we could.Then we had to touch our toes and see how far we can touch them. Also we did push ups and sit up and we recorded everything on a paper. The we had to run the mile and try to get a really good time so we could get the mile shirt.
E.L.A
In ELA we learned about poetry and that it is a kind of musical and focused writing designed appeal to emotion and imagination. There are many type of poems. A narrative poem, such as a ballad or an epic story. A lyrics poem expresses the speakers feelings. An ode is a type of poem that celerates somthing.
Math
In math right now we are learning how to find percent, pat, and whole.The box method has steps to solving these problems. First you have too decide whether you are looking for the part, whole, or percent. Then you have to fill in the box with the information you have. Then multiply the numbers on the diagonal which has two numbers. Finally you just have to divide the answer (product) in step 3 by the number on the other diagnonal, and put the answer (quotient) in the empty box.
College Research:Dartmouth College
Dartmouth College is comprised of the undergraduate arts and sciences and engineering departments and four graduate programs.Dartmouth College is a private institution that was founded in 1769.Its tuition and fees are $48,108. It has a total undergraduate enrollment of 4,276.Dartmouth College is a private Ivy League research university located in Hanover, New Hampshire, United States.Dartmouth College has a total undergraduate enrollment of 4,276, with a gender distribution of 51 percent male students and 49 percent female students.Dartmouth has nine residential communities located throughout campus. The dormitories are design from modern to traditional Georgian styles, and room arrangements range from singles to quads and apartment suites.Dartmouth has never had an official mascot. The nickname "The Big Green," is based on students' adoption of a shade of forest green.Since awarding its first graduate degree in 1885, Dartmouth has been training future leaders and supporting the creation of new knowledge through graduate education.
UCI Field Trip
It was a great experience to go to UCI yesterday on a field trip. We were able to walk around the whole campose and see all the schools there.There is alot of new information that i ganed after the student there that was being are tores told us all about the school.Then we were able to see where go to study and were they do there laundry and also there is a kitchen for the students to use.We saw the rooms and they were pretty small and you had to share it with another person.They told us about the rules at the school and the consiquences that happen if you break the rules.Theres also alot of places u can go to buy food and drinks so after class if your hungry or something.This trip made me think about what type of college do I wanna go to? College looks pretty fun but it is mostly all about the work and that seems the hardest.My goal is to get into one of the top 5 colleges in the world and graduate.

Rocket project
This was a great experience for me and my class mates because we learned to built something out of a bottol, bag, string, board, and a metal thing. I was great to get into partners and do it together. It was pretty easy to built but we had to make a little bit of changes to the rocket to make it stay up on the air. It was even funnier when we shot them up with water splashing out. Mine and Azuls was the hights and it lasted the longest on the air. I think we should do something like this again.
Grade Check
MATH~ In my math class i am getting an A+ with 107%. My grade for math is exellent, i am very good at math and i love math. At first my grade went down to 99% and then 98% the back too 100% and now 107%. I am still going to keep trying to keep my grade up because i am hoping to get honors math next year.
ELA~In my language arts class i am doing really bad i have a C and i have 72% am so close to getting a D. I really am trying my best to get my grade up on this class but its just diffecult for me cuzz am not good in ELA. I can improve my grade by studying before we have a test that the only thing i reall need help on because my HW/CW grade is the only thing making me not fail.
PE~In my pe class i have an A with 96%. I am doing pretty good on my running and everything but i didnt turn in one of my HW on time. So next time ill turn in my hw on time so my grade wont go down no more and i can stay with an A in that class.
Social Studies~ In social studies am also doing bad in this class i have a C with 74%. I am kinda cloise to getting a D and this class is diffecelt for me also. Ive been doing bad on my test and hw and cw and i really yam trying but its just hard. But i wont give up on this cuzz i have a goal to get it up to a B by next month or maybe in the next couple of weeks.
Science~On my science class am doing good i have an A with 94%. My grade is kinda starting to go down tho but am trying to keep it up.
Avid~On my avid class my grade is okay i have a B with 88%. i am workinging hard to bring it up by doing my hw and getting 100% on everything we do in the class.
