Beach!

Friday, June 10, 2011

Okay...so I've kinda lied...this is the start of the little hill that has started to form...from my 'mountain of updates...' but...TODAY WE'RE GOING TO THE BEACH!!!

Its finally a real field trip (and on a nice day as well)! Lets hope it doesn't rain while we're there!!! :D That would be annoying (it always rains on our field trips...) :\

Either way, I can't wait! I'll post again today to tell you guys how it went!

(P.S. yes I just did wake up at 5:50 to post this :D Hooray for early birds~!)

HI!

Hi! Toads Rockz Here! I'm back and with a template change! (The snow ended a while ago...well at least in this state!)

I've changed it to an anime theme...but just because it kinda had a summery theme to it! :D

But just because school is coming to its close doesn't mean that I'm going to slack off again!

Prepare for a mountain of updates!

Toads Rockz Out!!! :D

3D? or NO D! Haha! Get it?

As you can all see, 3D IS THE BIG THING! I mean, even my dad just went out and bought a 3D TV (60 inches but who's couting?) But 3D is not all as it seems.

With Nintendo coming out with the revelutionary Nintendo 3DS (with its two cameras, camcorder that can record 3D vidoes, movie watching capabilities and more) it seems too good to be true right?

WRONG! With a capital W!

Nintendo's newest hand held, the Nintendo 3DS has been 'seen' (haha another pun!) to cause eye problems when children that are 7 years old or younger, use the 3D feature. This problem can be easily fixed by using the parental controls to turn off the 3D feature though...

Wizard of Oz!

Wow!  For the past 4 days, we have been performing non-stop!  My school had put on a play about the Wizard of Oz!  I wasn't a main character but it was still a great experience!  I just wish that I would have tried out for other plays before...To all of the sixth graders that are reading my blog (and if your reading my blog then go on the Question Box) I suggest that you always try out for the most things that you can try out for!  Who knows?  You might enjoy it!

At first when I went to the first couple of rehearsals for the Wizard of Oz, I thought that everything was just a big mess and that it was never going to become a good play, but as I went to more practices, I saw the play take shape, and it was really exciting!

So follow the yellow brick road, all the way down to Pippin's Question Box!

Global Warming Strikes Again!

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

Okay, first there is a mountain load of snow that doesn't melt for two months...and then we have a three day streak of warm weather...and just as I was about to give my props to the groundhog for predicting the weather correctly...IT SNOWS!  Well it wasn't even a lot...and it all melted by 12...but still, SNOW IS SNOW!  And it snowed!  Which totally proves that Global Warming means extreme temperatures, not that its hot all of the time!  This is a perfect example!  So, take that Dad who said that Global Warming is when everything heats up!  Ha!

And remember, GO ON PIPPINS QUESTION BOX, THE BOXIEST BOX OF QUESTIONS!

I just thought of this...but if everything is considered as science...then wouldn't that mean that going outside would be considered as science? Which would mean that going on a field trip would be considered as science as well right? That would be a good excuse to have a field trip wouldn't it?

You might wonder why I am bringing this up, but its because we were reading a very interesting article in Kokopelli1015's class today! It was talking about Nature-Deficit Disorder. To sum it up, it was basically talking about how our generation (Generation X) is being seperated from nature and we aren't learning the life lessons that we would normally learn from nature. Instead, we spend more of our time inside. And quoting from the article "We have more chance of developing emotional, and physical diseases." That includes...EVERYTHING! Colds, bruises, even headaches!

You might think that, "Oh, but today I played outside!" well that doesn't count. In this article, it says in order for us to really reconnect with nature, we need to go on more nature hikes, and experiance the science/nature that is around us, instead of reading about it in books! Now wouldn't that be a good excues to go on a field trip to the beach, sometimes *hint hint* to learn about waves and physics *hint hint*?!
