New York Philharmonic Orchestra

Here are some questions about what I learned on this website.

Question 1. Is this site interesting to kids?
I think it is interesting to kids because it grabs there attention and it's an awesome website to learn more on.

Question 2. What do you like about the site?
I like how it is colorful and it looks like a kid website. I also like how the games help you learn more.

Question 3. What don't you like about the site?
Well..I don't have nothing bad to say about the website. I like how they made everything easier for kids and not like a website for adults.

Question 4. Does this blog motivate you in any way about our upcoming field trip? If so, how.
Um.. yes that website did motivate me. I'm to going to lie the only reason I really wanted to go to this field trip is so it can take learning. But, now I really want to go and see what the musicians are learning and hear the pieces that they made.

Think and Respond

1.) What does Mari learn by taking part in and winning this contest?
She learns that  even though her project wasn't the fanciest or had  a lot of store bought stuff it doesn't matter about the materials you use it matters about how much time and  work you put into your project.

2.) How does Mari feel about herself at the beginning and at the end of the story?
She felt like her project won't win or isn't the best cause she didn't use any store bought materials. Then, at the end she was kind of embarrassed that she had to show the class her diorama.

3.)  What is the author's message about being dependent on other people? How do you know?
That people your dependent on should have a lot of responsibility.  Cause I'm dependent my mother to provide me with food and clothes and stuff. Mari was dependent on Mrs. Frank to give her the books. 

4.) How do you think teachers should judge students' projects? List at least two suggestions.
They should judge them on  how much work they put in it. They should also judge them on how much they got the concept of the project.

5.) Which reading strategies did you use for this selection? Why?
Well.. I used re-read and re- read it helps a lot and if you don't understand what you read just re read.

Painting with a hammer

This video is call painting with a hammer because he telling a life story on how he's go to do his job. And I think he also inspired other people how to paint with a hammer.  It's kind of exciting  in a weird way he inspires me a little, because regular artists  mostly only use paint brushes. But,  Steve Smithers I guess really wanted to get noticed so that's why he used a hammer to make masterpieces.  Steve was an ordinary guy. He went to college like mostly any adult. But probably he really wasn't into what he was studding in college so  he left and worked in a industry and that's when he finally began to find his new life as an artist. I think it's of cool to do  art work a hammer. But,  I probably wouldn't want to do a art work with a hammer because it seems like a lot of work. ( And like I said I am very lazy sometime.) Than just using a regular paint brush, but don't get me wrong only using a paint brush seems like a lot of work to do an art work. but, if you compare it  painting with a hammer its much easier. So, that's what I think about painting with a hammer. Comment on my blog and tell me what you think about painting with a hammer.

Lebanon Silver Mine

In stop 2, the miners used  sledge hammers to work. When their using a double jack sledge hammer there has to be two miners there. And they see by using candles. 

In stop 5, they use that room cause it a dry room and they have to care about there health. 

In stop 8,  the tool shed has a couple of barrels there's a shovel and other stuff. They probably use the shovel to pick dirt. And they  probably use the barrels  to  store things. 

In stop 12, the mill is powered by water and they use large belts. 
 Um.. no I would not want to be a miner because me and dirt don't go together AT ALLL!!!!  and I'm some of the time lazy!!!!

Well,  first of all I'm not trying to really criticize the artists work but, this is what I think  about this statue that makes it look old. I'm not trying to be rude and make fun of his/her work. So, the first thing I have to say is that who ever made this statue made long ago I can tell. Because no one wears hats like that anymore. It looks like someone stepped on it to get it look like that. The next thing that I noticed is that his shoes are really different from the shoes people wear now a days. There so pointy and not to be mean but it looks like girl shoes to me. Another thing that I noticed is that his clothes look old. His clothes remind me of clothes that probably pioneers would wear. Or like presidents and his hat looks like what pioneers would wear too. His hand on his chin tells me that he has an idea, and too me that seems like an old thing that presidents would do when they have an idea.  ånd that's what I think about this statue.

Silver of the 18th, 19th, and 20th Century


SIMILAR:Well, these are similar because there suppose to be teapots. There made out of the same material. There all shiny. They were made in the 17th, 18th , 19th and 20th century. There the same because they all have a handle to hold the teapots.


Different: There different because one of the pictures have more than one teapot. They have different colors. There shapes are really different, because in the picture with four teapots one of the teapots are larger than the others. And in the picture that's really shiny and silver that's a large teapot. and the last picture is small. The pictures are really different because there's only one teapot picture that's gold.


That's what I think about these pictures.

"Sans Arc Lakota" Ledger Book, 1880-1881

In the picture on the top if you look closely the first three people don't have anything on there heads and the fourth person does, then if you count three more people the eighth person has the same thing as the fourth person.
There clothes have patterns on them in both pictures.  There's a  pattern on there sticks in both pictures.  On the bottom picture the first person on the right isn't wearing blue, then when you count three more people the sixth person is wearing blue then the first person on the left starts the pattern again. Well, I guess that's all the patterns that I noticed from both pictures.  If you find some  more comment me about it. To see if we found out the same things or if we didn't.
