Mikayla's Fresh Blog

Hi! This is just a picture I made of the letters in sign language. (:

I made a book trailer about The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I hope you like it!

Hi. Welcome to my blog. This week in the Edublogs Challenge 6 we have to write a blog post about work. If I could volunteer for any non-profit organization in the Monterey County, I would choose the Animal Friends Rescue Project or AFRP.  AFRP is an non-profit organization that is  dedicated to finding good permanent homes for abandoned, stray, and abused companion animals and ending the pet overpopulation crisis through focused spay/neuter programs.  This organization is really important because I believe helping stray or abused animals is really important. When ever I see a dog or a cat or any other animal running around with no owner it breaks my heart. I always feel sorry for them and want to help. If I received anything in return for volunteering, I wouldn’t want money. I would just want to know that the animals find a good home and have the right love and care that they deserve. People can help this organization adopting a dog or a cat. If you can’t adopt you can always donate money for supplies or other things to take care of the animals.

Here is a cat and dog you might be able to help :

 Hi. For this blog post I am going to pretend I am a Persian warrior in the battle of Thermopylae.

 I am a great Persian Warrior. One of our, the Persians, most famous victories was the battle of Thermopylae. We defeated  We battled many Athenians and Spartans. First it was the Athenians, but they eventually got tired and switched with the Spartans. The way I was able to be in the great battle was the commander Xerxes I. Oh how he was an amazing leader. 

The battle was very gruesome. The different sights, smells, screams. You could see soldiers falling on top of each other, dying,  blood pouring out from wounded warriors. I could also see the spears from oncoming Greeks. Their shields would glisten in the sun. Now the smell. Oh the smell. You could smell sweat from tired warriors, grass from the battle fields, and the fresh air from outside. You can hear shouts of warnings of oncoming Spartans, shouts of pain from the wounded, and words of encouragement from the opposite soldiers. I am an archer. The bow fits comfortably in my hand with an arrow on its strings. I have many arrows in a pouch, in order to reload. The taste of dust and dirt fills my mouth. But, I can taste something else. Something sweet. The taste of VICTORY.

I saw this shield coming at us during the battle.

Hi. This week was all about geometry and measurement. The first thing we learned about  was finding the perimeter. The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of the sides. First you add all of the sides lengths. Say the sides are 3cm , 5cm , 5cm ,and 9 cm, the perimeter would be 22cm. The next thing was the circumference of a circle. A circle is the set of all points in a plane that are the same distance from a given point, called the center. The circumference is the distance around a circle. When finding the circumference you want to locate the diameter or the radius. Remember, 2 radii make 1 diameter. First you write the formula. This is an example: d= 8ft c=?. Next you would multiply your diameter by pi. The number for pi is 3.14. The find your answer. We also learned how to find the area of parallelograms, triangles, trapezoids, and circles.  Are is measured in square unit. First you use the formula A=b*h. Then you substitute b and h with your numbers. Then you multiply but make sure you put your measurement squared. When finding the area of triangle youe use the formula A=1/2b*h or A=b*h÷2. Then just solve it.  A trapezoid you use this formula, A=1/2h(b1 + b2). Then you solve. For finding the area of a circle, you use a completely different formula. The formula you use is A= πr². Then you solve it. One last thing we learned about was Finding the area of irregular and composite figures. A composite figure is made up of simple geometric shapes, such as triangle and rectangles. First you separate the figure into smaller, familiar figures. Next you find the ares of each shape and add it together. That is all we learned this week. Thanks for reading. Bye!!!

Γεια σας. Για αυτό το blog θα πρέπει να προσποιούμαστε ότι ζούμε στη Σπάρτη και να γράψει μια επιστολή προς τους γονείςμας.

Αγαπητοί μαμά και τον μπαμπά,

Ήθελα να σας γράψω ένα γράμμα για να σου πω πόσοπερήφανος είμαι που είμαι Σπαρτιάτης. Λατρεύω τον τρόπο η κυβέρνησή μας είναι μια ολιγαρχία. Ήταν τόσο έξυπνος για νατο κάνουμε αυτό, αντί μιας δημοκρατίας. Μου αρέσει το πώςεπέλεξαν 2 βασιλιάδες για να διευθύνει ένα συμβούλιο των γερόντων, και ότι υπήρχε 28 μέλη ηλικίας άνω των 60 που θα μπορούσε να παρουσιάσει νομοθεσία για την συναρμολόγηση.Ακόμα κι αν δεν επηρεάζει την ψηφοφορία ή τη γνώμη μου, Μ ‘αρέσει ακόμα πως υπάρχει ένα μικρό ποσό ηγέτες PF ώστε να μην πάρει χαοτική. Ο ρόλος μου στην κοινωνία είναι να είναιυγιή και κατάλληλα τη μητέρα ώστε τα παιδιά μου μπορεί να είναι σε φόρμα και υγιείς ζωή also.My στο σπίτι είναι όλα σχετικά με την κατάρτιση στον αθλητισμό. Τα αθλήματα πουσυμμετέχουν είναι το τρέξιμο, πάλη, και ρίχνοντας το ακόντιο.Μου αρέσει το γεγονός ότι οι Σπαρτιάτισσες ήταν πιο ελεύθεροιαπό κάθε άλλη ελληνική γυναίκες. Και πώς θα μπορούσεεπίσης ν ow ιδιοκτησία & go όπου θέλαμε.

Σε σύγκριση με την Αθήνα, η Σπάρτη είναι ακόμα καλύτερα.Σπάρτη είχε μια καλύτερη κυβέρνηση. Θα μπορούσαμε ναυπερασπιστούμε τους εαυτούς μας και πάντα να είναι μεγάληστον αθλητισμό. Θα μπορούσαμε επίσης να κατέχουν γη και να πάει όπου ήθελε να μας κάνει πιο ελεύθερη από οποιεσδήποτε άλλες γυναίκες Ελλάδα. Ξοδεύει πολύ χρόνο για την ανάγνωση, τη γραφή, και όλα τα άλλα πράγματα μάθησης. Σπάρτη εστιάζειμόνο στις στρατιωτικές και πολεμιστής μας πάρει σκληρές. Αυτόείναι κάτι το εξαιρετικό. WEEL Θα σας δω σύντομα. Αντίο!ΑΥΤΗ είναι η Σπάρτη!!!

Hi. For this blog post we have to pretend we live in Sparta and write a letter to our parents.

Dear Mom and Dad,

I wanted to write you a letter to tell you how proud I am to be Spartan. I love how our government is an oligarchy. They were so smart to do that instead of a democracy. I like how they chose 2 kings to head a council of elders, and that there was 28 members over the age of 60 that could present laws to an assembly. Even though it doesn’t affect my vote or opinion , I still like how there is a small amount pf leaders so it doesn’t get chaotic. My role in society is to be a healthy and fit mother so my children can be fit and healthy also.My life at home is all about training in sports. The sports I participate in are running, wrestling, and throwing the javelin. I like the fact that Spartan women were freer than any other Greek women. And how we also  could ow n property & go where we wanted.

Compared to Athens, Sparta is way better. Sparta had a better government. We could always defend ourselves and be great in sports. We could also own land and go where we wanted making us freer than any other Greece women. Athenians spend to much time on reading, writing, and all of the other learning stuff. Sparta just focuses on military and getting our warrior tough. That is an excellent thing. Weel I will see you soon. Bye! THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!

Love,

Aikaterine ( Mikayla)

Hi. This post is for the Edublog Challenge #3. We had to add 10 people to our blogrolls. I chose to put it in two different categories. The first category is Classmates Blogs. I had 5 people in this blogroll. The first one is Stephanie. The second one is Cassidy. The third one is Anahi. Then  Ana,  Julie, and Mr. Miller.   My second category is Friends Outside of My Class. There are five people on that blogroll too. The first one is Halee’s Blog. The next one was Georgie’s Awesome Blog. Another one I had was Bonnie’s Awesome Blog.  The fourth one I had was Don’t Stop Having Fun. The final one I had was Catherine’s 5th grade school blog.  They all have really cool blogs. I love visiting them and checking out their new posts. All of you should go and leave a comment on their blog. Bye!! (:
