In January I made 4 resolutions 1 Personal, 1 School, 1 Local/Community and1 Global.

 My personal goal was to  walk to school more. This will help the world and me because there will be less gas fumes in the air if I am not being driven around. This will also help me because it will give me more exercise. It has been about 40% successful. Unfortunately I only walked to school when I could not catch my bus I think that I have not been successful with this goal because I was still a bit tired in the morning so I was lazy. I can try again in September

My resolution to respect people’s differences was my school goal. I won’t try to change a person and I will respect them for who they are. This has been successful! I think I have succeeded with this goal because I remembered the saying to treat people how you would like to be treated. That is not how I would like to be treated.

The resolution I had for Local/Community is to volunteer at the S.P.C.A. This will help out because the S.P.C.A. will have two more helping hands that love animals. I was 0% successful because we have not been to the S.P.C.A. since we got our cat there:( I don’t think that this goal is going to work out for me.

Last but definitely not least is my global goal!! I wanted to recycle more. This will help because it will keep the world cleaner=) This goal has been 90% successful. I think it has not been 100% successful because I have still been a bit to lazy 10 % of the time and then I just throw it out:( One thing  that I know is that I will make it up to 100%. I will not give up on this one!

Our class has been using some “web 2.o tools” this year. That is what I am writing about  and   listing different things that you might be using yourself.

• Google
• Facebook
• YouTube
• Vimeo
• Wordle
• Animoto
• Moodle
• VoiceThread
• Edheads
• Webspiration
• Vocaroo
• Glogster
• Prezi
• EDUBLOGS
• Flickr

I think that these sites are going to help me in high school because there might be an assignment that I might need to look up,post or make a video about. If there was something I needed to know that I didn’t already know I could look it up on one of the sites seen above. There are so many different other “Web 2.0 tools ” that you might be using in your own life. This list was just some of the ones that I have used this year. If you have any suggestions that you would like to let me know about, go ahead feel free and do so!!

I can’t believe that we went on such an awesome field trip!! The only thing that I didn’t like about it was that we had to wait until the end of the school day. I took two of my friends and they were Chanel & Brianna!! First we went to McDonald’s but the only people who went was the people who drove with me. After that we were on our way to the ferry. Next we got to the ferry drop off lane we got our stuff out of my van and we went to go meet everyone in the building.  After we got on the ferry we got  our name tags and we could meet up with our friends. We wandered around the ferry but we weren’t aloud to spend money at the ferry gift shop because we were going to go in the aquarium gift shop. After we arrived in Vancouver we went outside and there was a bus waiting for us. Then we got to where the bus dropped us off we walked to Stanly Park. We got to the aquarium we waited for it to close and our trip to begin. When we went in we got split in to 2 different groups group A & B then after that we got split in to 8 groups! Group A went to the wet lab. Group B went to look at the different exhibits I learned SO many different things about sea animals. I learned…

• That sea otters are extinct in B.C.
• The last sea otter was shot in 1997
• Sea otters eat oysters and sea urchins
•  When they clean the beluga whales tank it smells bad
• Most dolphins usually stick together when they are swimming
• There are more that 50 species of  bats
• Polar bears are starting to go extinct
• Some sea anemones eat each other
• There are so many different types of  jelly fish
• Star fish eat mussels

After my group (group A) was done in the wet lab we watched a small movie then went for our 10:30 snack. @ 12:00 we had the lights go out and went to sleep. We woke up at 6:45 to eat breakfast and after that we wandered around and looked at the aquarium!

There were so many different animals there such as…

• Beluga whales
• Dolphins
• Sea anemones
• Crabs
• Sea Otters
•  Bats
• Frogs
• A lot of Fish
• Star Fish
• Jelly fish
• Sea Urchins
• There where mussels in the star fish tanks!
• Sharks 

I liked the aquarium I hope that all the grade 6′s in the fututre will be able to go on this trip. Have you ever sleept at the aquarium?

For this weeks challenge we have to write about the environment or what we did for earth hour. I am choosing to write about earth hour!! Although I was not at my house, I still did do earth hour!! If you were wondering where I was, I was at my friend Kristyn’s!! We had a blast. Her dad went to his friends house. So we had to babysit  her little brother. But he was asleep by the time it was time to turn out the lights!! What me and my friend did for earth hour was, played  truth or dare… we wanted to play hide and go seek in the dark, but we did not have the time as the hour had ended and her dad came home 10 minutes later. So we just turned on the lights. My friend and I found some cards asking some things about New Moon. So we asked each other the questions but… if the person got the question wrong we got to poke each other!!  We ended up going to bed at 6:00 am and woke up at 1:00 pm!!  What game would you rather play for earth hour??

Our class is making some poems about nature.  I choose to make mine about the ocean !!   I don’t know why I chose to make it about the ocean I just did!!  So here is mine…                

                                                    As Calm As The Ocean

                                     The calm ocean

                                                   Was as clear as glass

                                                                As peacefull  as

                                                 A sleeping cat

                          The ocean waved

               To the beach

                         ”Swish”

                                    Went the seaweed    

                                                “Whoosh”  

                                                             The tide went out

 For  Challenge 3 we needed to make a post about where we live. I live on Vancouver Island! There is a lot that you can do here. It all depends on what season it is.

In the summer you can go swimming at the outdoor pools or the inside pools or you can go up to Mt. Washington in the Comox Valley and bike down the hills. You can also camp in different places. There are  many more things to do in the summer than what I have mentioned too but I can’t list all of them. 

In the winter  if you go up to Mt. Washington you can… go tubing, snowboarding, sledding, skiing, or snow shoeing. If you  are lucky you might even be able to make a snowman! In the fall it may be cold but it is lots of  fun to play sports outside such as  basketball, football, soccer, and many more.

And that is just in the Comox Valley! There are many things to do in this marvelous Island. In nearby Nanaimo there is also the V.I.E.X. which is a big agricultural exhibition. It has so many things to do there. Like…

• Go on rides
• Buy some food
• Play games

If you could to live anywere in  on Vancover island where would it be and why?
