Today we did gabcasts. For an ad that we choose. And of course we had to pick a topic, We chose our show that we put on www.youtube.com/bobandmrhappy,obviously our show is called Bob and Mr. Happy's Funhouse house. (we spell Mr.happy's that way.) It was cool making the script and rehearsing. If you want to experience the awesomeness, listen to our ad, then go to www.youtube.com/bobandmrhappy to watch our shows. WATCH THEM!!!

Deep Thoughts

I have a question to pose to all of you...if you had a choice of something that you would be interested in learning more about- any topic at all that is reasonable to learn about at school- what would it be? For example- I myself would pick neuroscience (basically the brain in other words) beacuse that topic fascinates me. What would you pick??? Grids to all those who leave comments!

Cool day of Gifted



Today we made our own radio advertisment. First, we thought of something to advertise. Then we made up a skit (A skit is something you would read for a play or something). Then we performed it. The people that were listening had to turn around the other way and closed their eyes. We also made invisible ink and we wrote with it on a piece of paper. We used a base & an acid. Then they reacted with each other. We also did drinking straw pulse. We used clay & a straw to measure our pulses.
