Dogs

If anybody knows me they know that I love dogs. I mean who doesn’t? They are so cute, they are so energetic and there are so many different kinds and it doesn’t matter which kind you get they are all so much fun!

 

Puppies

Dog, they are so cute. If you are sad you can cuddle with a puppy. I have to mention they can turn themselves, or your house into a mess in seconds, but it’s not that they want to, they are just having fun! Personally, my dog also barks a lot, but maybe that’s just him. Besides those little things, there is really no reason to not get a puppy. A dog is considered a puppy until they are one year old, but I consider them puppies forever because they are super cute.

 

Breeds

If there is one thing I know about breeds is that there are a lot, I mean a lot! Don’t believe me? What if I told you that there are 195 different breeds. Maybe you are saying that’s not that many. Well, you can take any two different dog breeds and mix them together you get a whole new dog. With combinations of different breeds, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of breeds. Point Proven. Every breed is different and does different things like they are very energetic or they are big or small. But one thing is for sure they are all cute! 

 

Hypoallergenic

Maybe you are saying what on earth is hypoallergenic! I can barely pronounce that. What hypoallergenic means is that firstly they don’t shed very much. Secondly, since they don’t shed none of the allergy-causing dander does not get on the floor which means no allergies. Hypoallergenic dogs’ hair grows as much as humans but non-hypoallergenic dogs don’t. So the only downside of getting one of these dogs is that they have to get a lot more haircuts.

 

Energy/Walks/Fetch

This is a bit of a scramble category but they all have to do with energy.

Firstly you need to take dogs on walks. Regularly. Some people take their dog on 1 long walk or some other people take their dogs on a few different short ones. It can be annoying but it’s the only way for them to go to the washroom, but dogs do other things on walks they run around a lot and burn energy while having fun. Secondly, dogs fetch, why? It’s kind of like a walk they burn loads of energy running to get the ball over and over again, but that’s not all, fetching is a dog instinct to retrieve.

 

Toys

These next two categories are going to be shorter than the rest.

Dogs love toys, especially ones that squeak. I think it is because if they hear the squeak they know it’s their toy and wants to go play with it.

 

Licks

A lot of people think that dogs lick to give kisses, which is correct. Dogs lick you when they are thanking you for something you did, maybe you petted them, or gave them a new toy.

 

Now I have told you a bunch about dogs. Maybe you even want to get one. It is a little expensive but, I definitely think it is worth it. They are cute, happy, have lots of energy, give licks, and so much more!

Scientists In School

Last week in school, we did something really fun. Today was scientists in school! Every year our school does this thing called Scientists In School. You can probably guess the concept, scientists come to school. Usually, some parents come to school and volunteer, and because of the pandemic no one is in school so we all got on a Google Meet, and so did the scientist. This time It was called As A Matter Of Fact because we were learning about the 3 states of matter solids, liquids, and gases. Her name is Dana by the way. The goal that we needed to do at the end was to figure out what the mystery powder was. The first thing we did was that we had to see if our materials would dissolve in water. Firstly, when we put flour in water the water was cloudy which meant it didn’t dissolve. When we put the Epsom salt in the water it didn’t really dissolve because it was chunky. The baking soda did though! We did a few small experiments along the way but I am not going to mention those because they are not very interesting. We made cabbage water by mixing cabbage powder and water. We took a bit of Epsom salt and a bit of Vitamin C and some cabbage water and at first, it turned pink, and after a bit of waiting it turned red which I thought was really cool, but do you want to know what’s even cooler? We did the exact same thing except instead of Epsom salt we used baking powder, and it turned blue and started bubbling! It was so cool! Lastly, we still had to figure out what the mystery powder was. It looked like flour so we put some in water and it didn’t dissolve so we thought it was flour, but some people thought that it was baking soda so we put the powder in cabbage water and it turned blue and bubbled, so we came to the conclusion that the mystery powder was flour and baking soda. It was super fun. At the end, I mixed all the rest of the ingredients together but all it did was bubble, but some people said it exploded!

My Art Drawing

While we are online there is no guided art. So what my class is doing is we go on to a page where there are a few different art activities that we can do that have to do with winter. Last week and this week I have made a few of the art activities. Firstly, I made something that is supposed to look like a snowflake with a website. It is very calming and satisfying. Secondly, I made a snowman using google drive by using a tutorial. It turned out better than I thought.

Lastly, I made one of my best drawings ever. Although it was with another tutorial it is still very pleasing to the eye.  It is a drawing of a moon in a winter scene with a lot of snow and trees. I used different colours to make the snow look

more realistic.

Two Of The Same

Today at school we are doing an activity called two of the same. In November I posted a paragraph on Masks and in December I wrote about Minecraft Education Edition. In this post, I will be saying what I think I improved on. Just by looking at them both, you can see that one is a lot better. In my first paragraph, I didn’t use that many transition words and I should have gone into more detail. Neither the conclusion nor the introduction sentence was all that great.

 

In my second paragraph, my introduction was very clear and it even had a hook sentence! I also used tools like spell check and hyperlinks. In this paragraph, I also went into so much more detail! I still need to work on using more transition words and putting the right ones in the right sentence. Though the conclusion sentence was better I still need to improve in that area. Well, there we have it, my reflection on my two paragraphs.
