My favorite day of gifted



My favorite day of gifted was when we built our own MYTH BUSTERS!We did a myth busters with toast to see if buttered toast always lands buttered side down.We also did a myth busters with germs to see what part of the school has the worst germs after a couple of weeks.For the buttered toast experiment it was random if it lands buttered side up or down and for the germs activity it was the water fountain that had the most germy place.It ROCKED!!!!!

It's the last day of Gifted! (BOO HOO!)


OH WHAT A WORLD! It is the last day of gifted!(Not the last day of school mind you!)I remember the good old days when we played Silly Sentences! That was my favorite thing in gifted! Man did I love firing things from that trebuchet! Oops! I almost forgot about the DESTINATION ROCK AND ROLL! Musical! I was a guy in the band Bon Jovi! I just finished making a triarama for the monument the Lincoln Memorial! Then I did a Voicethread for it. A Voicethread is a voice over for a picture, like if you take a picture of someting you can put it on the computer and do a Voicethred and BAM! You have an awesome voice over for your picture! Well since i'm done explaining things I should go back to crying then, BOO HOO! BOO HOO!
