The 2012 Presidential Election

By Alexa and Genevieve 4S

The Presidential Election happens every 4 years. Two candidates run for President, but only one candidate can win to run the country. The candidates have to get most of the United States votes to be President. The candidates have to have a Vice President. A President can be elected for two terms.  Each term is 4 years long. 2 times and that’s it. I say that‘s not fair. The election takes a long time to find out who is going to be the next president. There are debates and those debates tell what those candidates will do if they get elected for President. For the election, the first person to get 270 or more electoral votes wins! Every state votes and in the state, the people vote for one candidate the one with the most votes in the state wins! People don’t have to vote. You have to be 18 or older to vote. Thanks for reading our blog! We hope you liked it.

EYE SEE

I go to the after school class called "Eye See". Eye see is every thursday. In eye see we learn about the different parts of the eye such as the cornea. The cornea is the part of the eye that takes in light to help you see. Did you know the pupil is just a hole in your eye? Well it is, thats cool! There are other parts of the eye like the lens. The lens is like glasses but glasses are to improve peoples sight. Your cornea gets bigger in the dark to take more light in, and gets smaller in the light so that your eye doesn't burn taking in to much light. We do a lot more activities such as digging in a cows eye and looking and studying all of the parts of the cows eye. There is only 1 major difference between a cows eye and a human eye that is that the cows eye is bigger than the human eye. This is why I think this is a nice thing that I am sharing about my favorite after school class "Eye See". Thank you for reading my blog.   

Water Towers

By Atilla

Water towers are big towers that have tanks. The tanks hold water and delivers water to different peoples houses. Also water towers have the city name on it too. Water towers can be in many different shapes also. Water towers also come in different sizes too! Water facilities deliver the water to water towers with pipes that are under ground. Water towers are very high too. Every city has a water tower even small cities. Some cities have two water towers like Apple Valley.

By: Nandana and Genevieve 4S

Hi! You Internet readers! It’s Nandana and Genevieve typing. This blog is about inventions! In Mrs. Struble’s class we are studying famous inventors. From all over the world there is some most popular inventions. For example, THE LIGHT BULB!!! Was invented for light when it got dark out or you did not have any windows or peeks of light. THE TELEPHONE!!! Is used for talking to people from different places all over the world. Next, THE CAR!!! The purpose of the car is to help you travel from one place to another and/or to go to far away places. What do students use every day? A PENCIL!!! A pencil is used for writing things on paper for school, or rembering things and just for drawing. Next… THE PEN!!! Is used for writing things on paper but you can’t erase it. By the way Thomas Edison built the light bulb and Alexander Graham Bell built the telephone. And there you go, there some inventions that people use every day!!!  Thank you!

Nature

There are so many things that humans have created, but there is one thing no human invented... Nature! Nature is amazing in many ways. It holds many secrets. There are so many questions that we have that nature holds. For example, What are the different elements that we have not discovered?or Are there new species of life somewhere on the Earth?or Is there a type of plant that has not been discovered? I,m sure, if scientists study Nature a little bit more carefully, all these questions will be answered. You can learn lots of things about Nature too. All you have to do is go outside and study some plants or animals.
