This week I worked on the set even more and have been sorting the smaller pieces. Sorting the smaller pieces is very helpful because I know where they are and I can immediately start building and adding the pieces so no time is waisted finding pieces. I am halfway done with the set and am starting bag 2. I am facing some more troubles like the same as last weeks like fingers hurting but I am using the strategies such as not using as much force or trying a different side to put in the smaller connection parts. Right now I am adding the outside layers such as seen on the car in the photo. I am trying different pieces but the same piece because sometimes they don’t work for some reason. Thank you for keeping up with my 20% project. Next week I will continue the second half of the car.
The best part of my house is my backyard. I love my backyard because it has a lacrosse net and rebounder so I can practice lacrosse with my friends. I also like my pool for hot days and hanging out. In my backyard I also have some palm trees so it makes the entire yard look Hawaiian. The bright green grass also make it look very vibrant. We have an overhang for lunches and a little break from swimming and playing sports. I also have a TV there so you can watch anything you want. Right next to my backyard is a fridge is where you can get some popsicles. These are the reasons on why I love my backyard.
This week I started to build my car. I had already started it last week at home with my mother. I was very excited to start this project and faced many struggles such as finger pain from the pieces and some of the pieces would not go in the right spots. I also got finger pain from taking some of the pieces out from putting them in the wrong places. I am going to have to look at the diagrams carefully and use less force on the pieces so my fingers will not hurt. I am almost halfway done with the car and have sorted all of the smaller pieces. Next Friday I will continue the first half and even start the second and I will have to resort all of the new pieces. The lego car has many precise placement so they fit just right so I will have to be careful to not put things in the wrong spots.
Over spring break I went to Salt Lake City, Utah. There i saw many cool mountains, rocks and colorful scenery on the way there. I went with my cousins uncle and aunt who are experts on this trip. On the trip i tried new fast foods such as Swig and Culver’s. Culver’s is a burger place with different variations of ice cream, and swig is a fun soda place where they combine sodas with other drinks, such as, sprite, blue raspberry, and lemonade. While in Utah, we needed a place to stay, so we got an airbnb with a basement which was kind of cool. We went skiing for three days at different skiing resorts and we ran, or should I say skied into some problems. We ran into this black diamond (pro skiing level) and we had to walk with our skies uphill. I had some falls where my skies would fall of but my aunt would help me get them back on. My cousin goes to the university of Utah and it was very cool seeing what the campus looked like and it was cool seeing him after a while. It was nice exploring a new state and I am very happy I could go.
For my 20% project I will build lego technic cars. Lego technic is a more difficult type of lego that is more advanced. My mentor, Jamie Berard is a lego creator who makes lego sets. He will be my mentor to give me tips on creating the lego cars. I will be building the formula 1 Porsche 99X pullback car. This car has many cool dearures and even a motor!
If I could have dinner with anyone in the world it would be SpongeBob, Patrick and Mr. Crabs. I chose SpongeBob because he can cook me a gourmet dinner of a crabby patty, and I have always wanted to try one. For my second person Patrick, I chose him because he is very funny and him and SpongeBob are good friends. Patrick would make dinner very fun and joyful with his optimistic attitude, him and SpongeBob will bring many laughs to the table. Finally I chose Mr. Crabs because he can pay for almost everything, and he is also good friends with Patrick and SpongeBob, so it will be fun to talk with that friend group. With SpongeBobs great cooking, Patricks fun attitude, and Mr. Crabs money too pay for the ingredients, we would have a great night eating crabby patties.
This month I read the book Babe And Meby Dan Gutman. This book is about a boy named Joey who can time travel using baseball cards, him and his dad are trying to figure out if babe Ruth called his famous homer in the 1932 world series against the cubs in game three, so they time travel to 1932 and actually meet Babe Ruth. They run into some troubles such as Babe passing out, but they help him make it to the game.
My favorite character of the book is Joey. Joey is very brave going back in time to 1932 with his dad because people were less kind back then because it was during the Great Depression. He was also mature in the book like ordering for himself at restaurants and talking in the conversations between Babe and his dad. He is also kind in helping Babe when he passed out. This shows how compassionate Joey is even thought he just met Babe.
My favorite quote from the book is “That’s not a bad idea butch,” said by Joeys dad. I like this quote because it shows how Joey helps solve big problems with the adults and how he shows his maturity. Another reason I like this quote is because his dad is also talked to him like he was an adult and that shows Joeys maturity.
I liked this book because it is about a dad and a son bonding. Joeys parents are divorced so it is hard for him growing up. On this trip he has many experiences with his dad to make up for some of the time that he was not there. I also like this book because it is about a legendary sports player, Babe Ruth. This book expresses what 1932 was like and what New York looked like as well. This book is a good mixture of fantasy with the time travel, sports realated with Babe Ruth and the 1932 Yankees, and a father-son relaxation ship.
There are many jobs in the world, but I would only be one, and that is a pet trainer. Specifically A dog trainer, I love dogs and hanging out with them. I have seen some untrained dogs and how annoying they can be so that is why I want to be a dog trainer. I would train dogs how to jump. Through hoops, play fetch properly, and teach them to go through doggy doors if they have fears. I would also be a dog trainer to play with dogs. I love playing with dogs because of their nonstop energy and playful personalities. Being a dog trainer would be a fun job and I would be able to spent time elsewhere because training sessions only take up to 15 minutes. These are the reasons why I would like to be a dog trainer.
This month I read the book Diary Of An Awesome Friendly Kid By Jeff Kinney. This book is about the friendship of Rowley Jefferson and Greg Heffely. Rowley shares different memories with Greg, some bad, some good, some calm, and some crazy. Rowley embraces there friendship with these stories and also gives us some information about there character traits than in Greg’s books and movies.
My favorite character of this book is Rowley. Rowley is such a great friend to Greg and always does everything with him. Rowley never lets Greg get on his nerves and is all about kindness. Rowley is constantly kind to others and Greg throughout the book. Rowley also has a great imagination. He created many cool drawings of cool superhero’s in just a few minutes. This shows how Rowley is very unique and has an amazing personality, this is why my favorite character of this book, is Rowley Jefferson.
My favorite quote of the book is “The time I realized that Greg doesn’t always tell the truth.” This is my favorite quote because it is when Rowley realizes that Greg is not so much of a rule follower because Rowley only thought of Greg as a smart and kind person, but once Rowley saw that he lied a lot, Rowley saw the true Greg. This quote also changes the story and there friendship, this quote is so impactful and book changing and that is why it is my favorite quote.
Why did I read this book you may ask? I read this book because I have read some of the diary of a wimpy kid series and I wanted to read another one. I liked this book because it gives a better deception on Greg and Rowley story’s. This nook helps you learn more about Rowley and even more about Greg. The book is another one of those behind the scenes where you can learn more about the side characters, in this case being Rowley, and Greg being the side character of this book. If you like the side characters of a story and a deeper insight into a story, then this will be the perfect book for you!
If I were invisible for twenty four hours I would do these three things. First I would go to GameStop, there I would go into the back of the store and steal all of there consoles, gift cards, and games. I would do this so then me and all of my friends and family could get new consoles, gift cards and games. The second thing that I would do is prank my friends and family. I would hold things so it looked like they were floating, turn the lights on and off, and open doors and cabinets. This would also tie in to my first question because I would give them some of the game stop equipment to make up for pranking them. For my third and final thing that I would do is sneak into Disneyland. I would just jump over the fence and nobody would see me. I could steal the sweets there and also get free mickey ears. I could sneak on to rollercoasters and rides and I would have a great time. I would take free items like keychains, snow globes, and collectibles. i would go to the Star Wars area, because I love Star Wars, and take lightsabers, helmets, and other cool items. After that I would go eat dinner with some blue milk and get some food near the pirate area.
