Above this post there is A pretend oxygen atom, and the yellow gumdrops stand for the electrons the white gumdrops stand for the protons and the purple gumdrops stand for neutrons.The electrons have a negative charge,protons have a positive charge and the neutrons are neutral.

The speech

At are local library i made up are own club called The World Travelers and this month we were learning about Japan and I had to talk about what I read about.So I gave a speech I t made me so nervos my legs were shaking but in the end I did realy good.

Orchard

This week I went to the orchard.So when we saw the pumpkins my mom said I could not have any pumpkins we got some anyway.I also got three huge bags of apples. We also got to see applesiddere being made.It was realy fun and I would like to go ther againe

The experiment

For the last two days we have been doing an experiment its about fresh water and salt water.First we put fresh water in a cup and salt water in a cup.Then we put the cups in the freezer for one day.Then we figured out that salt water is naturally warmer.

Cholate Chip

This is Chocolate chip, if you zoom this photo you mite see a chip of his shell is missing, and I never noticed it till I posted the photo.I do not no what happened to his shell but we are going to put calcium tablets to keep his shell from cracking more.If we do not put the calcium tablets in the tank hes shell will brake and the snail will die. So it is extremely important to put the tablets in.

Above chocolate chip there is a green snail, its name is pinky, I no what your thinking your probably thinking its a silly name especially for a eight year old,but I did not name it my three year old sister named it.The hole reason we have pinky is because we wanted different snails.

Game night

Once a month we have game night and game night is were we play a game and here are some of the games we often play Stop Thief,Cut Throat Caverns and a lot more and if you do not do game night, then your missing out on a lot of fun!

All about my snail

This week I have noticed my snails have been moving from place to place then staying in the same place almost all day . One of the toys the snails have is a castle and there were dozens of places for them to hide in the castle.

I have learned that a snails slime can help it move and allow it to move over sharp objects without getting hurt for example if a snail crawls over a knife it will not get hurt at all.

My snails

Today I bought some snails, and even though they don't move so much they are still interesting.So I picked out a plastic tank also some toys for my snails and my snails are awesome!

The book club

I am in a book club called serial readers four cereal eaters and the book that we are reading is a book called Orbis 1 by PJ HAARSMA and its a really cool book.We get to snack of cereal while we read the book. Its a really good book club

Mushrooms

The most fun thing I did this week is learning about mushrooms . So we took a walk through our neighborhood looking for mushrooms and we ended up finding about 4 different species of mushrooms just by walking around are neighborhood!Then we went home and made spore prints. Which is made with a black and white piece of paper taped together and when your done put the mushroom face down in the middle make sure you put a glass over it! Anyways in 1-12 hours you should see groups of spores.
