Eric Lindell

Eric Lidell was a famous track star that had a world record. Now I will tell you about his experience at the Olympics. Eric was headed to the Olympics excepting to run the 100-meter sprint. But when he saw the qualifying race was on a Sunday he chose to not race. He felt like Sunday should be a day to rest. So instead he deiced to race the 400-meter race. And he qualified for it. When the day of the race arrived he sprinted. Most people thought sprinting would make them too tired and slow down. Not looking back he kept going, also not knowing that a lot of people had got too tired and walked on the sideline. He ended up winning first place and made a world record for fastest speed in that type of race. At only 47. 6 seconds. He also took home bronze in the 200-meter sprint. He is speed.

All about Chimpanzees

Chimpanzees are amazing animals. Today on my blog we will be learning all about them. Diet: Chimpanzees mostly eat what we eat such as fruit, nuts, and plants. Although they eat nuts differently then we do. Chimpanzees get a rock and smash it on the nut to open the nut then eats it. Unlike us, we just eat it. But they also eat some different things than we do like insects and seeds. They also use tools like sticks to get the insects out of their nests. Habitat: Usually chimpanzees live in Africa.

They are also almost covered in black fur. Life cycle: Mother chimps only have one baby at a time. After a couple of...

My homeschool experience

Today I'm going to tell you about my homeschool year. It started off doing remote learning like everyone else. When they announced people were allowed to go back to school I had three choices homeschool, continue remote learning, or go back in person. My mom was already homeschool Jensen, so I decided to give it a shot. I'm about to tell you genuine[ real and true feelings] about homeschool. My first reason is we have a flexible schedule, for example, one day we could wake up and say " Hey let's go to the zoo!" Another example is say I've been working for a little while, I could say " Can I take a five-minute break?" And she would say " Sure ". My second reason I love homeschool is my mom can sit right beside me while I work. My last reason is we can get creative with our work. For instance one day it might be Stepping Stones, the next it might be Khan Acadamy. Lastly, I just want to say thank you, mom. You work so hard.  Those are some of ...

  Today I learned about the Wright brothers named Orville and Willver. I learned that they came up with 1,000 ideas that failed. I know I would give up after like 15 tries. To the right, you can see the first  successful plane made by the Wright brothers. This plane took off at Kittyhawk North Carolina. They  chose Kittyhawk because it had the right amount of wind and soft sand for landing. So I hope you learned some interesting things today and enjoyed it. Till next time bye.
