French

  I will be talking about French today. What I will be talking about is what we are learning which is the two verb system. The two verb system is when you take an infinitive verb and put it in a sentence with a conjugated verb. An example of this is j'aime regarder la tele. J'aime would be the conjugated verb and regarder would be the infinitive verb. This sentence means ''I like to watch TV.''

          The two verb system can be used to describe what someone likes to do, where they like to go, etc. We have not learned much about this verb in French yet so I am afraid that is all I could say about this topic. My opinion about this topic we are learning about is that I like it but for some people that do not know their verbs will have trouble with the sentence structuring.

Science

In science we finished up are forces and structures unit. In this unit we learned about the different types a structures,  the advantages and disadvantages of the structure types, force diagrams, internal and external forces, different types of bridges, and structural efficiency. The different types of structures we learned about were solid/mass, frame, and shell structures. Force diagrams are simple pictures using arrows to illustrated how forces are acting upon an object. The external forces are live load and dead loads.

The internal forces are compression, tension, torsion, and shear. The different types of bridges that we learned about were beam bridges, arch bridges, and suspension bridges. Structural efficiency is a relative number that compares the maximum amount of mass a material can hold divided by the mass of the structure itself. For example a bridge hold 200kg and it weighs 100g, first you convert 200kg into grams which would be  200 000g. Then you divide 200 000g by 100g, the structural efficiency is 2000.

What We're Doing In Math Class:

In math class, we have started a new unit on mean, median, and mode. We learned what they are and how to find each. Today I will show you how to find each.

The word mean is another word for average. To find the mean of the numbers 9, 23, 45, and 88 you would add them all together then divide that number by four because you have four numbers( 9+23+45+88=165 ÷ 4= 41.25). The mean for these numbers would be 41.25. Median tells you the middle number. To find the median for the numbers 18,36,49,57 and 12, you first need to order them from least to greatest(12,18,36,49,57). Then you would cross out the same amount of numbers on each side until you reach the middle. The median in this group of numbers is 36. the mode is the most frequently occurring number in a group of numbers. In the numbers 26, 19,26,and 59 the mode would be 26.

Thank you for listening to my presentation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Art

Hey guys, today I’ll be talking about what we are learning in Art class! We have art class every day 2 and 5. We are learning Chinese water coloring and calligraphy in art class. We also have to do our April quotes; they are obviously due at the end of April. We were also learning Chinese symbols; Cotter Mr. told us all about them, and how they relate to our religion Christianity. 

Mr. Cotter is a very well-known teacher. He is very unique because he writes quotes on the board every once and a while. He is also a strong believer in God. He is also a very nice teacher and doesn’t get mad as much. In art class right now we are finishing all that is due.
