Fractions

Walt: find a fraction of a set.

I how how to find a fraction of set because I've done fractions before. Most of it wasn't challenging because they were like halves and quarters. I found it kind of boring because it was way too easy for me. I would like more challenging work.

The Tree of Life

It was a hot sunny day and Sione was very thirsty. He wanted his father to buy him something cold to drink. But his father refused to buy him anything so instead he macheted down a talo. Dad told Sione to take a sip out of the talo’s mouth. But Sione said “A talo has no mouth.” so dad told him a myth about talo.

Dad told Sione about a girl named Sina who met an eel named Tuna. The people in the island wanted to kill and eat Tuna, but Sina did not approve of that. She told Tuna to go but for some reason he did not want to go. Days went by and Tuna was turning old. Sina promised that she would bury his head. Once he finally died Sina buried his in the sand. The head started to grow a steam. Then finally it grew into a talo tree.

“Now put the straw through the mouth a take a sip.” said dad. Sione enjoyed every sip he took of the drink.

Money Vise

Walt: write a response to the talk by Evan

A man named Evan visited our school. He talked about how to save up, earn and spend money. His visit to our school has affected my thinking on money and jobs. I think that now that he has come to our school I will change my way with money. He was really funny as well, which made me want to listen even more. He’s a really nice guy and I would like him to come to our school again and talk to us about how to money wise.  

Reflective Symmetry

Walt: draw patterns to show reflective and symmetry
Today we were learning about symmetry. Our class didn't get that right in the e-asttle test, so we are having  practice runs by creating our own symmetrical art pieces on line. I found it very fun, but the first one I did was very hard to draw so I took the easy way out. I would like to draw more of these exciting things because I enjoy symmetry a lot!

mummification

Walt: write an information report.

Ancient Egyptians mummified their dead. First they would remove the insides, such as the brain but not the heart. Afterwards they salted and dried the body. Then cloth was stuffed inside the body to keep its shape. The body was oiled and wrapped in lots of bandages. The reason that they wrapped it so tightly is because it stopped the body from rotting. A priest was in charge of the whole thing. Egyptians believed that a priest would send the spirit into the next world. The priest would also use special instruments when touching a part of the body. Mummies were placed in an ordinary, wooden case. Some people were put into specially decorated cases. But if you were an important someone you were placed into a stone coffin.
