Today in science we learned about genetically modified cows that make milk that can be turned into steel, and about how and why businesses invest in gene science. The simple answer to the why part of that question is they can make money from it. The other part of the question is simply answered too, basically they fund it.

Today I got to do a choose your own adventure for Africa. I did the one where you make a mask, like they do. It was cool, I really liked it and it was fun even though it took a long long time to do it.

Today our principle/dad/substitute teacher/guidance councilor taught us today because our mom is going to funeral out of state today and tomorrow. I miss our teacher/mom/guidance councilor but I did have a lot of fun with our substitute teacher.

In science we learned about enzymes. They are sort of cool, and I like how they make fruits and vegetables ripen, meat be more tender, and make it so we can make cheese. The questions were ok, not too hard but not super easy.

CURRENT EVENTS: ISSUE WAY TO MANY,WHAT’S THAT ABOUT A CEASE FIRE?

by  • 

There was a cease fire between the Armenians and the Azerbaijans. Now both sides are claiming that the other broke it, and they were fired at a lot. The root of this  is from a conflict between the christian Armenians and the muslim Azerbaijans. Because of this there are a lot of borderline tensions between the two. Now Russia and the U.S. are encouraging them to actually keep a cease fire. But it doesn’t seem to be heading in that direction. Hopefully this conflct will be resolved soon!

I learned about possessive and singular nouns. And how to know wether to add s, ‘s, or s’. It was a confusing until my mom helped me. It was easy after that.

We started a new read aloud today. It seems different, I don’t know if I’m going to like it. The things in the story happen in Africa.

What’s with weigh stations

by  • 

Some truckers are suspected to be avoiding weigh stations, because they are bypassing exceptional weights. Arkansas has made a virtual weigh station to help fix this problem. The money came from a grant that the federal motor carriers safety administration gave them. The federal highway administration praised the technology of it saying it has “the potential to fundamentally change the way truck size and weight standards and regulations are enforced in the United states.” I f all goes well they are hoping to install it in 1-1/2 months.
