Raymonds run
I should have been better to everyone. I feel so bad that you guys had to deal with me and I am so sorry I promise that i will be better to you guys. I thought that I was the best at everything but in the end I am not the best.

Weekend
What I did over the weekend was I had a basketball game and I scored 5 of our 9 points we lost 41 to 9. I also had lots of fun playing in the snow and shoveling. It was really hard too shovel because the snow was packing snow and it was heavy. I made a snowman in our front yard.

3 Feet from Gold Analysis
How would you feel if you were poor and you were struggling in life? That’s how Greg Reid’s life was like in the book 3 Feet From Gold. He thought that he was cool but everyone hated him. I will tell you how to become successful in life. Just listen to these next facts.
The Author’s purpose was to inform you that you should not think that you are not the only one in the world you should treat others like you would like to be treated. Like when Greg Reid found a sports coat and it had a business card in it he called the number on the card and a successful man picked up the phone. They set a time to get the coat returned and the successful man noticed that Greg needed some help. So the successful man tells Greg to find a notebook to write all important quotes, ideas, statements, and advice that he receives from any advisors. The Successful man sends Greg on a journey to meet the owner of Mrs. Fields Cookies and the owner of Chick Filet.
Greg is now a better person. He learned to listen to other successful people. He also learned to take advice and put it into life. When you read this book, the most important lesson to take away from it is don't think you're the best at everything.

Hatchet Anaylasis
Imagine being stranded in the woods with bears, insects and who knows what else surrounding you. Brian had to overcome several conflicts throughout the story Hatchet and becomes a stronger person by the end of the book.
One of the obstacles Brian faced was heat to stay warm in the cold Canadian weather and to cook with. Brian started a fire by using a flare gun and I think that he was smart to do that because I would not have thought of doing that.
Brian needed food and water also to survive so he gets the water from the "L" shaped lake and he got the food from deer and anything else he could find. Brian was willing to eat anything that he could find from bugs to deer. Survival skills are critical when you are in a position of trying to stay alive while waiting to be rescued.
Brian used a flare gun when a plane flew by, a shot saved his life. When the plane saw the flare they realized that someone was in distress and sent help.
I am impressed by Brian's survival skills because I would have never thought to use a flare gun to start a fire or to make a spear to kill fish or use a hatchet to help make his shelter. I liked this book because I got into it and it was hard to stop reading.

Art Responce
I chose to write about
The Two Majesties
I liked this piece because
It was beautiful and I liked how it was so
Colorful.
The piece was painted in 1883 by
Gérôme, Jean-Léon
A French artist
It was painted on an oil canvas.
This piece looked real because
It popped out at you.

Astronomy
I can analyze galaxies and the differences between galaxies. I will compare the Milky Way Galaxy to other types of galaxies.
Proficiency 1:
The Milky Way is a Galaxy that we live in. It has an arm that has a black hole in it and the blask hole will spagettify you and you will be streched out like spaghetti. Another galexy is The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy it is the closest to the Milky Way and it is 25,000 lightyears away. We can just barely see it from a high powered telescope. The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is said to have at least 1 billion stars in all. The galaxy was first discovered in November 2003 by an international team of French, Italian, British and Australian astronomers. We have known aboun the Milk Way for thousands of years but we did not know that it was our galaxy until about the 1920's. There are 100 - 400 billon stars in the Milky Way Galaxy.
I can identify key technological advancements that helped in making our knowledge of space expand. My research will show the past, but I will also predict what future advancements may stretch our limits even more.
Proficiency 2:
In 1957 the Sputnik 1 was 1st launched and was sucessful. This started the Space Age. In 1969 Neil Armstrong was the 1st man to walk on the moon. In 1976 was the 1st spaceship to land on the planet Mars. In 1986 the spaceshuttle Challenger explodes. In Febuary 1, 2003 The spaceshuttle Colombia explodes. We learned a lot from all these events. With the cooperation of the International Space Station, we will learn so much more.
Another technological advance was te use of low frequency radio that allowed astronomers to detect possible planets in other solar systems. One of the best examples of low frequency radio astronomy has been images of the Milky Way Galaxy center. In the future
Finally with the Ansari X Prize, private individuals or companies can compete to build a vehicle that will go to space. With that option open, NASA will have to step up their game to compete and astronomers will have more options open to them.
I can research the history of constellations. My research will delve into the stories and the myths associated with each constellation. I will create my own constellation either changing the story of a real constellation or creating one on my own.
Proficiency 3:
The Constellation "Quick Nick" was discovered March 4, 1997 by Greek god Scott Roehl while gazing into the winter sky with his Meade LX200 Telescope. While studying a particular asterisms otherwise known a constellation he saw a star zipping around 3 other stars. He immediately named this constellation Quick Nick after his star student Quick Nick Martinson. This grouping of stars can only be seen in March at 11:02 PM and will last for 13 min. before it fades into the night sky of Pewaukee WI.
I can analyze the origins of our solar system. Starting with the sun, my research will emphasize how our solar system formed, the differences between inner planets and outer planets, and analyze the future of our sun and the solar system.
Proficiency 4:
We can observe these clouds today in other regions of the galaxy — they are called Bok globules. Because they are relatively dense dust clouds, Bok globules block out light from objects within and behind them, being a subcategory of dark nebulae. This makes it impossible to directly observe the formation of new stars, although the simulations of astrophysicists give us a good idea of how it works.
I can effectively explain the different theories of the universe. I will discuss theories starting from Ancient Greece through the theories discussed in present day. I will analyze all theories and make a judgment based on my research on which is most valued.
Proficiency 5
What I found is that the early Greeks were the first to propose that space has spheres and that they work with the sun, moon stars and planets except they thought Earth was still. Then around 1920 Georges Lemaitre proposed the universe was expanding from an explosive event based on some theories Einstein gave. Lots of scientists following him gave scientific proof of the big bang theory. This states that the universe was a created from the cause of a massive collision or bang in space. Some examples of proof were the mass of gasses that were discovered, the temperature of these gasses and different elements discovered. In 1924 Edwin Hubble discovered a way to measure distance of galaxies. In 1964 evidence of a “hot beginning” had been found in the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). Alan Guth stated an inflation theory that supported the big bang. He says the universe expanded very quickly and increased in size. There are also those that believe God, the Creator made the universe.
The question of what the shape of the universe is seems to have been a hot topic throughout time. Some thought flat, others closed, and some thought a circle that might eventually collapse. What is interesting is that it seems most scientists are working at proving the big bang theory.
I belive that godmade the solar system was made by god.
I can analyze the differences between comets, asteroids, meteors and moons. I will research orbits and discuss differences of what we see from the Earth’s surface (phases). I will analyze the effect the moon’s orbit has on our planet. I will predict what would happen if Earth ha
d a 2nd moon or the distance to the moon was increased or decreased.
Proficiency 6
The difference between comets, asteroids, meteors and moons are comets are objects composed mostly of ice and dust and orbit the sun. Asteroids also orbit the sun but are rocky. Moons are natural objects that orbit a planet. Meteors are objects in all different sizes in the solar system that enter that earth's atmosphere.
We see different phases of the moon because of the amount of light from the sun and where the earth is positioned. On earth we are moving on rotating platform. The moon takes 27.3217 days to go around the earth. The earth takes a year to go around the sun. The moons orbit affects our planet because of the gravitational pull between the moon and the sun. It stabilizes earth's rotation and is what causes the tides in the ocean and our seasons.
A second moon would be brighter nights if they were up at the same time. I think it would affect the oceans too, probably more tides. If the moon was closer or farther it would create higher tides.
