Grandma and Grandpa

My Grandma and Grandpa just decided to move up here after Grandpa retired earlier in the year!  They are here now, just in an apartment looking for homes.  They found one they really liked and put an offer on it.  Every day that they are/will be here will be surreal.  Whenever I see them, I still think they are visiting, not actually living here.  It will be EPIC!

Kung Fu was awesome!  It will make me more flexible now,and cooler.  (Making me cooler is hard, so that means that Kung Fu is really epic!  (: ) Our instructor was actually Gavin's J.K.D instructor.  He is really good but doesn't look like the kind of guy who would be.

First Day of Kung Fu!

Today is Chloe and I's first day of Wushu Kung Fu!  It will be EPIC!  I think it is good that she and I are both in the same class.  I wonder what our uniforms will look like and who will teach us!  I will blog about all that tomorrow when I know.  (:

A Spring Haiku

A haiku is a poem that is Japanese, and it has a first line with 5 syllables, and second line with 7 syllables, and a third line with 5 syllables.  It also has to include what time of year it is.  Here it is.

The flower buds bloom,

Young animals become old,

Take a sniff of air.

5K

At the end of this year, we will be running (as a school) a 5K.  It will definitely be hard, but I have been practicing and running miles for it.  In P/E, we also run miles and two miles, but three and some odd miles will be hard!  Even though it will be hard, I will try not to walk at all the whole way.

Breaking Ankles

In basketball terms, if you break someone's ankles, you just fake them out so much, they fall down.  Guess what?  Before school starts in the morning, the gyms are open, so I go there as do a lot of people and play basketball.  The other day, I was dribbling to do a layup, when this kid named Dylan (we are friends) tried to steal the ball from me.  That wasn't going to happen.  When he tried to steal it, I crossed over and then he tried to steal the ball on the left side, but then I quickly crossed over to my right hand again.  He got so faked out, he fell down and you will never believe what happened..... He literally broke his ankle!  He now has an ankle brace on!  I feel sorry that I did that, but I am still laughing so hard over that!  (:

Multiplying and Dividing Integers

Today, in math, we learned how to multiply and divide integers.  We learned two rules, if there is a positive and a negative, it always equals a negative.  Opposites equal a negative.  If they are both are the same, (both negative or both positive) then they always equal a positive.  Pretty cool!  (:

Wushu Kung Fu

Soon, I will be taking Kung Fu classes with Chloe at the place where Gavin does his J.K.D.  It will be epic!  I can finally look cool trying to do some martial arts moves against Gavin when he uses me as a test dummy for his moves.  :)  I can't wait.  Also, it will be cool to have Chloe learning to so that I don't have to teach her.

Repeating and Terminating Decimals

Today, in math, we learned about repeating and terminating decimals.m repeating decimals are when there is a pattern the to division problem and the same number or pattern of numbers goes on forever. So it could be like this, 1.5555555555555555555555555, but instead of writing all of those numbers, you would just write a dash above the beginning number or pattern that repeats.  An terminating decimals is like this, 5.7785, it just stops.  On calculators though, repeating decimals would be like this, 1.55555555555555555555555556.  It would be a six to show that it goes on forever.

How to Calculate Speed

Today, in science, we learned how to calculate speed.  What you do, is you take the mass of the object, and divide it by the time.  If you were trying to find out how fast a NASCAR driver is going, you divide his cars mass, and divide it by the time.  It's pretty cool!
