Today we painted bird houses.  Next week we will fill them with bird seed and hang them up outside the Taylor building.  Some teens made extras so they could bring a bird house home.  All of them are really colorful!

All the teens did a great job today taking care of their animals.  Some of the newer teens picked their animals up for the first time.  Everyone also learned how to use  calipers to measure their animal's length and balances to measure the animal's weight.  The teens are making great observations in their science journals.

Is youthexploringscience.com a credible website? Let's see, do you know who wrote it? Is the information recent? How trustworthy is the organization that publishes it? Today in SciJourn, we dissected...websites (you thought I was going to say frogs, didn't you) to determine if we could trust the information the sites contain. Every person in the group gave great feedback--so no one can pull the wool over these teens' eyes!

Today, during College Prep, we discussed names.  What is the origin of our names and what do they mean? I couldn`t find what my first name and last names meant, but I did find what my middle name meant.  Danielle means judged by God.  I thought that was really interesting to find out.  We also discussed how do different cultures name their children.  The culture I have to research was the Russians.  The Russians name their children by first name ..middle name (father`s name) , last name (family name).

Today was fun and exciting, we acted out conflicts and we did the good and bad scenerio which basically gave you both options and which one was the better. in c3 i finally picked up my frog but then it pissed on me

This morning has been really long because I had to tae the ACT at like 8 this morning. I truly think that I did really good and I get my results back tomorrow so i should know the answer.

TODAY WAS ACOOL DAY I HAD ALOT OF FUN IN COLLEGE PREP ACTING OUT THE DIFFERENT THINGS AND WE PAINTED BIRD HOUSES IN MY COMPONET THAT WAS COOL THAT ALL WE DID BUT IT WAS FUN
