My Animal Cell!

                       Introduction

I am doing a project in Ms. Huysman’s science class, but it is kind of a project for The Reading Workshop. The project is about cells.  We are either allowed to make a plant cell or an animal cell,  we can make an edible cell meaning you make a cell plant or animal but it can’t be no bigger than your two fists. Another way we can make our cell is non edible which you can’t use food to make the cell.  I am doing a non-edible animal cell.

      Grading Scale

We will be graded 10  different ways. These are the 10 different ways.

1. Your comprehension

2. Your Enthusiasm

3.  How Prepared you are

4. You listen to other presentations

5. You speak clearly

6. You have nice posture and eye contact

7. Your content

8. Your plan

9. Your construction-materials

10. Construction care taken

That is the  10  ways we will be graded on our project. Each one of these 10  things are worth 4 points if you get the highest part the other points are 3,  2,  and 1.  I want a 4 on everyone of them!  I have to make my cell look really good because  Ms. Huysman is giving 5 bonus points for the most accurate, most attractive, most creative, or most disgusting.

     Other Organelles In My Animal Cell

My animal cell will have a……….

Cell Membrane

Nucleus

Chromosome

Ribosome

Mitochondria

Vacuole

Endoplasmic Reticulum

An animal cell has lots of different parts. These are the main parts we have learned about so far.

          Definitions of all of the Cells

Nucleus– The Nucleus is the control center of the cell.

Cell Membrane– Thin outer covering that holds  a cell together.

Cytoplasm-clear,   jelly like material that fills the space between the Cell Membrane and the Nucleus.

Chromosome– springlike structure in a cell Nucleus that carries information controlling all the cells activities.

Ribosome-organelle that puts together proteins for the cell.

Mitochondria– organelles where food and oxygen react to release energy. Another way to remember it is that the Mitochondria is “The Powerhouse Of The Cells”.

Vacuole– Saclike organelle used for storing materials.

Endoplasmic Reticulum– organelle that transports materials inside the cell.

Circleville Pumpkin Show

BOO!  Are you as excited as I am for  the Circleville  Pumpkin Show?  I love going to the Pumpkin Show because I like riding the rides.

My favorite ride is the Scrambler.  I think that ride is really fun.  What is your favorite ride?  The reason I like the Scrambler the most is because I like the way it zips you around,  also because whoever is on the left side gets crushed.  So I always put my brother Tyler on the left side so he gets crushed.   When I’m on that ride I never get crushed.   I’m always comfortable!

Another thing I like to do is eat all the different kinds of food they have!   YUM!  My favorite food there is  probably Pumpkin Roll.  What is your favorite food there?  What do you want to try?   I will probably try a new ride and Pumpkin Pop!

When I go to the Pumpkin Show I usually go with a friend.  This year I might go with my best friend Logan, or just my family!  Who are you going with?  How much do you like the Pumpkin Show?  What kinds of things do you do there?

If you have never been to the Pumpkin Show you should go this year.   I guarantee you will love it!

Hope you liked it!  Please comment!

My New Best Friend!

I am going to tell you about my new best friend! We met on the first day of school!  He is very athletic and he is really nice to me!  His name is Logan.  Most of you know him.  Logan and I really connected on the first day of school.  As soon as we met we became friends.  We hang out all the time now!  Anytime he is feeling down I always try to do something to make him feel better.

Here are 3 reasons of why Logan and I are best friends!

1. He always tries to cheer me up  when I am down

2. I always try to cheer him up when he is down

3. We both stick up for each other

I hope our friendship never ends!  He is the best friend you could have!

Why my book is exciting

I am going to write a few reasons about why my book is exciting.  This is a project for language arts.

I am reading The Maze Runner  written by James Dashner.

The author draws me into my book and I know that because at the beginning of the book,  it starts out about this boy named Thomas.  He  can’t see anything,  then these boys come up and are being mean to him and it’s making me wonder if them boys are the ones who hurt him.

The reason my book is exciting is because my book is an action book. The reason that makes my book exciting is because that’s the kind of books I like to read!  This book is a really exciting book.  if you like books like this I would recommend this book!

This book is a really great book.  I recommend that everyone reads it!

Hard Work!

Our language arts teacher had us do a Study Island assignment,  when we did this assignment some people took their time, and some people didn’t. Our teacher was not happy about these scores here are some of them.  These are some reasons of why I believe hard work is important!

These are kids scores who didn’t take their time.

Compare those to students that took more time.

I think some people think they had to be the first ones done, the reason I think that is because maybe they thought they would get a prize for getting done first but the truth is they                                                                                      didn’t get a prize,  all they got was a bad score!  If you was the last one done you sort of did get a prize,  and that prize was you tried your hardest and maybe even got a good score. When I think about quizzes or tests I get nervous but even though I get nervous I still try!

That’s why I believe hard work is important!

I Love to………………..

I love to listen to music. The reason I love to listen to music is because it relaxes me. I also love to listen to music because it gives me time  to be alone. When I listen to music I feel like I’m in a whole different world. My brother makes fun of me for listening to music all the time, but only because he doesn’t like listening to music that much.

The kind of music I like is country, rock sometimes and maybe even pop. Three of my favorite songs are Taylor Swift,  We Are Never Getting Back Together, Good Time by Owl City  featuring  Carly Rae Jepsen and Justin Bieber,  As Long as You Love me.

Thanks For Reading !!!!

The Best Vacation to Florida!!!

               Introduction

I am doing a project in social studies. We have to write a report about a place that we have been to.  So I wrote about my vacation to Orlando, Florida. This vacation happened last year.

        The story of my vacation

During my vacation to Florida we got to see a lot of cool stuff. The only Thing that wasn’t cool was all the driving we did!  We drove for two days the first night my dad drove for sixteen hours which got us to all the way to Jacksonville Florida. Then  it was like 10:00 pm so then my dad decided to just get a motel for the night. When we woke up we got breakfast from McDonald’s then we drove all the way down to Orlando which took us four hours. So it took us twenty hours to get from Ohio to  Orlando, Florida. While my mom and dad were driving my brother, Tyler and I went to sleep.

The reason my family goes on vacation is to something new and another reason we go on vacation is because my mom and dad work all the time they only get off work on holidays and for their vacation so my brother and I are always with our grandma,  so when we go on vacation we get to spend time. That is my favorite part of the year!

We stayed at a 3 star hotel called The Blugreen Fountains. There was also a huge video arcade in the lobby. When I saw the hotel I asked my dad if we were in the right place. When my dad said it was we went and checked in,  and then we got settled in and then my mom,  dad my brother and I all went swimming.

We decided to go to Florida because my brother and I wanted to go to Walt Disney World so we decided to go to Florida because it is closer than California. Another reason we went to Florida is because every year my brother and I choose where we want to go and my dad chooses if we go there.What surprised me was my dad actually said that he would take us to Disney World! When I found out we were going to Disney World I was so excited!

That is story of my vacation to Florida.

I.Q

The book I have been reading in Reading Workshop is I.Q . The author of my book is Roland Smith. The main character in my book is Q [Quest], he has a stepsister. I know Q gets bored easily because Angela [his stepsister] and Q’s mom and Angela’s dad Roger were getting married and he said he was about to throw up because he was so bored, he also thought the wedding was never going to end.

Some of the things Q likes to do is school work, but only the subjects he likes which are math and writing. His stepsister Angela is an organization freak and a vegetarian, so now Q and his mom are turning into vegetarian’s, Q does not like the idea but he is just going along with it.

Roger and Q’s mom got a record deal.On their tour they broke down in Nevada and then Q woke up and saw a dog and then a man came up and said that he wouldn’t bite, his name was Crockett,  and  the man said his name was Boone. This book is a mixture of adventure and also suspense.

Thanks for reading!!
