Do Now 5/18

The thing that ignites my desire to change the world is when I see sad people. When I see sad people it makes me sad as well. We should be able to make everyone in the world happy somehow. It would make the world a much better place. If they see others happy it may influence them too.

Robotic Chimp

The robotic chimp was made to go to the moon. Because of the embedded electronics in the spine, the overall structure can be used as a 6-axis force-torque sensor, allowing it a range of movement that replicates human and animal mobility. The robot is also equipped with a distance sensor in the heel to anticipate the heel strike and two temperature sensors to compensate for the difference in temperature produced by its own electronics.

Wikipedia opinion 4/15/15

Wikipedia is very helpful to many people. I use Wikipedia a lot and it has helped me a lot with school work such as essays and reports. I believe that Wikipedia is he most helpful website for researching.

Spring Break

This spring break was very fun and a great experience. I had a lot of time to hang out with friends and play football and basketball. I went on a mini vacation to a resort called Crystal Springs in New York. While I was there, I went swimming, played basketball, and hung out at the arcade with my cousins. The pool was really cool, it had a huge slide and had fish around the sides so it felt as if I was swimming with fish.
One of the best parts of my spring break was not having to wake up early for school. I also watched the NCAA tournament over the break. Sadly, I had Wisconsin winning it all so I won nothing. I ate a lot of junk food. Some places where I ate were Burger King, Jersey Pizza, McDonalds and Wendy's. Spring break was fun.

Physical Education is a very fun class. Ms Roder is an excellent teacher. When I first started class I was expecting an average gym class but it was nothing like my expectations. I've learned a new game called speedball. In speedball, you can throw, kick, and block the ball. We can only pick up the ball if it is kicked into our hands. Its a very fun sport.


The grading policy includes rules about wearing proper gym clothes, wearing sneakers and performing in activities.If we do not come to class prepared, we get a bad grade.One part of the class that I like is when you can go lift weights. I get pretty buff in this class with Tederniphio Turka. Ms Roder assigns us what we have to do in gym such as legs, upper body and arms.

The technology used in class are computers. Ms Roder uses a computer everyday to put in our grades and attendance. Another way we use technology in gym is when we do the pacer test. The computer connects to the speakers and plays the music and directions for the students. It tells us when to go and when to stop.
