Anti-bullying Day

Today is ant-bullying day, at our school we are all wearing pink tops to support bullying awareness.

It all started when this kid in high school wore a pink shirt to school, he got bullied for wearing a pink shirt.
The toughest people in school-- the football players, thought that it was totally wrong, so after school they went out and bought a bunch of t shirts to wear to support the kid.

One of the classes in our school went around passing out pink bracelets for everyone and telling us a little bit about anti-bullying day.

Double Digit Multiplication

I am going to explain double digit multiplication in three different ways: pictures,video, and words.
Here is a how to do Double Digit Multiplication:


 Here is are some videos on multiplication, they are split into 3 different videos.
Video 1
Video 2
Video 3

Here I wrote the instructions:
  1. You multiple the bottom right number by the top right number and write your answer underneath the bottom right number--carry any tens into the top left number.
  2. You multiple the bottom right number by the top left number and add any tens from the last question into your semi-final answer.
  3. Next do the same, but instead of  multiplying with the bottom right you multiple by the bottom left number--but the answers from this question a row underneath your last answer.
  4. Final step before getting your answer, add the two numbers answer numbers together.
That may have been a little confusing to you, but to some of you that may be very helpful.
Here is a picture of double digit multiplication to help:


           Tens  Ones
     5 6
  x 4 2
------------------------------------------
  1 1 2
+2 2 4
--------------------------------------
  3 3 6

Tobacco and Alcohol

Our class has been talking lots about tobacco and alcohol, and how bad it is for your lungs and body to breath in all the bad chemicals.
Here is video that represents driving when you have alcohol:



ONCE YOU WATCH IT WON'T HAVE THE SAME AFFECT AS IT DID THE SECOND TIME AROUND!

The way it represents driving: When you are driving, you're focusing so much on where you are going rather then what you surroundings are.For example if you are driving you don't realize the pedestrians so you could run over them or hit them without even realizing they are there, or that they were there in the first place.

That's only 1 reason why you shouldn't smoke, there are many more reasons.

I'm telling you now: DON'T SMOKE, OR ELSE BAD THINGS CAN HAPPEN!

Guatemala Hearing Aid Presentation

Yesterday, my teacher's mom came in to talk to us about hearing aids! Every year she goes to Guatemala to put hearing aids into peoples ears. It is amazing because some people may have never even getting a chance to hear, hear. She must feel great after helping all those people!
It was really fun, she made a hearing aid for our teacher by mixing together some play dough like mixture and putting it into a tube then compressing it into her ear. Then we waited till it hardened and took it out. It looked kinda funny because you could see the part where her root canal fitted.
Here is her Blog!
Here are some pictures of Guatemala (she did not take them though):
Beautiful Antigua, Guatemala
This is some of the cloths they wear-close up
This (I think) is one of the hospitals she went to
