Hey EDU Blogs!
Today, I will be writing about music for SBC Week six. This post will be very similar to SBC Week five’s post because I also need to do two tasks/prompts. I’ll be doing tasks three and four.

Task three: For this task, I will be telling you guys about three instruments.

Piano

• The piano was invented in 1709 by Bartolomeo di Francesco Cristofori.
• Before, the piano only had 6 keys. Now, the piano has 88 keys.
• The most expensive piano is worth 3.2 million dollars.
• Pianos are considered as percussion instruments, not string instruments.
• The largest piano took four years to make- it’s 1.4 tons and 5.7 meters long.

Violin

• The violin was invented in the 16th century by  Gaudenzio Ferrari.
• The oldest violin is 273 years old.
• There are only two types of violins.
• Playing the violin burns approximately 170 calories per hour.
• Over seventy different pieces of wood are put together to make it.

Trumpets

• The trumpet has been around since 1,500 BC.
• It came originally from Egypt.
• A trumpet can play 45 different notes.
• There is an actual trumpet-playing robot!
• Modern trumpets are made from brass, but older                                                                                                                      ones would be made from wood or conch shells.

Task four: For this task, I’ll be researching about a group called “(G)-I-DLE.”

There are six members in this all girl group. Here are all of them listed down below with information about them.

Hey EDU Blogs!

Today’s post will be about the SBC week five challenge. I will be choosing two tasks to write about in this post from a list you can find here. Anyways, the two tasks that I will be doing are going to be tasks two and four. 

Task two: For this task, I will explain my everyday school day.

• How do I get to school? I get to school by car. My mom drops me off, and my dad picks me up. It’s also very convenient that since I moved into a new house recently, it’s very close to my school!
• What is my schedule like? Do I have any set subjects at certain times? My schedule changes very much every day. Depending on what day it is, we have different resource classes like Japanese, Personal Fitness and Physical Education, Technology, Research Skills, Art, and Taiko. I have certain subjects at different times of the day all the time. Fun fact: I completely memorized the entire schedule, even the other class’ one too!
• Do you have one teacher or many? I have one homeroom teacher, but there is also one more teacher for sixth grade as well. In total, we have four main teachers for each core class- Language Arts, math, science, and social studies.
• What time do you begin and end school? I begin school at 7:45 am and end at 2:45 pm.
• Do you get to choose what you learn? Sometimes, we get to decide who we want to work with for group projects and also get to choose what topic we want to cover with our group. Most times though, we just have set topics to learn in class.
• What technology do you have at school? We have a wide variety of devices and technology offered to us at school. From fourth grade and up, you need to purchase your own device to work with. If you forget to bring it or it is disabled, you can always just borrow a computer from our technology class. We do many online games to help us learn things like vocabulary, concepts, and studying.

Task four: What happens at break times?

• Do you take home lunch or eat school lunch? I always used to take home lunch when I was younger, but my family has to wake up really early to have enough time to make it in the morning, so I just get school lunch. This is a picture of school lunch from last year. I honestly don’t know how I found this in my photos!😂
• What do you do at break time? Are there any popular games, sports, or activities at your school? At break time, my friends and I usually hang out together by playing games on our devices, eat snacks, study/practice for upcoming tests, and do extra homework. A lot of people at my school like to play basketball and volleyball, but I don’t.
• What precautions do you have to take from the weather at break times? Hats? Sunscreen? Snowsuits? Is school ever canceled or do you ever have to stay inside? From where I live, it’s always very hot, so some people might put on sunscreen, but most people don’t. We don’t get snow, sadly, so we don’t have any school canceling.

That is the end for both tasks. I hope everyone enjoyed this week’s post! It’s getting pretty late where I live, so bye EDU Blogs! See you next week😘

Hey EDU Blogs!

Today’s post is going to be about how to properly attribute pictures from three different sites. There will also be another post coming up soon after this on me commenting on peoples’ posts. Let’s get started!

Picture One: 

via Wikimedia Commons

How I got it: I got this picture by looking up the picture I wanted on google. After that, I went and clicked on images, then pressed “tools.” Once I clicked on tools, there was a section of options. I pressed on “labeled for reuse.” After that, I saved the image above to my files, downloaded it on my computer, then visited the website of the image. I copied and pasted the website, then put it as a link right below the picture.

Description of the picture: This picture is the logo/ cover photo of a new k-pop group that bighit released. Bighit is the company that made my favorite boy group, BTS! If you couldn’t tell, their group name is “TXT.” TXT, means, “Tomorrow x Together. The new album that they produced, is called “The Dream Chapter: Star.” I am really excited to post about this soon!

Picture Two: 

via Photos for Class

How I got it: I got this photo of a dolphin on photos for class. This website is very easy and helpful to use, because it already is labeled for reuse, and you don’t have to change the settings and do extra work like on google. All you have to do, is look up what you want in the search bar, click on the picture you want, then save the image! You basically just copy the link of the page where you looked up what you wanted, because you can’t copy the link of the image, for example my dolphin. Once you try to get the link, it already says, “save to files.” (well on my computer 😅)

Description of the Picture: For this picture, I wanted to put a dolphin, because they are very cute, and they seem friendly in pictures.

Picture Three: 

via unsplash

How I got it: I got this beautiful picture on a website called Unsplash. Unsplash is a very similar website to Photos for class, the website I used for the previous picture. All you have to do, is look up what image you want, and then download it for free. To download it for free, press the image and click the right upper hand corner. Then, just copy the link of the image.

Description of the Picture: I chose this sunflower picture, because sunflowers are my favorite kinds of flowers. Whenever I see the bright yellow color of them, it makes me feel bright and cheerful.

That is it for today’s post, hope you guys learned how to properly attribute photos without stealing! See you next week!

Sincerely, hmsrimi🔆

Hey EDU Blogs!

In today’s post, I will be showing you all of my best work from the second trimester. Today is currently the third trimester, but I will still be making this post. This post is not a weekly post like daily, but I hope you enjoy.

Basically what the rules are for this post, is to include work that you are most proud of from each core class, and one resource class. I did an exact same post just like this on the 6th grade blog. Let’s get started now!

Math: This project is a slideshow, and I wanted to include this because I worked very hard and I stayed up very late at night to finish this. Some of the problems make no sense, but I hope you look at it! The idea of the project was to include how percentages are used in real life and put a sample problem in it. Percentages in Real Life!

Language Arts: In Language Arts, I tried pretty hard in my Madlibs Project. A Madlib is a story that you have to replace a few words that are parts of speech. In class every Wednesday, we have a WW test, and after that, we usually do Madlibs. Here is a document of that! 

Science: For my best work in Science, I chose to do my roller coaster part two. The reason why it is named part two at the end, is because there are four parts to this project. Currently, my partner and I are finishing up part four. What you need to do for all these parts of the project, it to get a worksheet and follow all the rules that it says that the roller coaster needs to follow. We made the roller coasters put of tubes that were cut in half. Then, to see if the momentum was there, we used marbles to test its abilities. Here is the picture!

Last but definitely not least, is Social Studies and art!

Social Studies: For this core class, my best work was probably the Ancient China research project. All the students in sixth grade had to pick a topic from Ancient China and write a slideshow about it. I chose calligraphy, because that is one of my hobbies, and if you didn’t know, I did a tutorial post on it last week! Go check it out here.

(Do not think that the link that I just inserted is the actual Social Studies project. Hahaha)

Well anyways, check that slideshow here.

Art: In art, we had to draw, and then paint a picture of nature. It could be nature underwater, in a jungle, or even an animal! The one rule is that you can write no words. In third grade (I think) I won an award for the painting that we did. I was overjoyed, so I try really hard every year. This year, I think it looks kind of crowded with too many plants. It’s okay because there is no such thing as too much nature right!? Well anyways, here is the picture! (Sorry it’s slanted.)

Thank you so very much, everyone, for reading this post! I hope you enjoyed it, it took quite a lot of time, hehe. I know that the colors and theme of this post doesn’t match my dashboard too much, so excuse that, please. Sorry that this post was also pretty short. I know that in last week’s post, I promised to you guys that this week’s post would be longer. I couldn’t seal that promise because I didn’t know that this week we had to do this post. Anyways, this is basically all that I have to say, have a good rest of the week guys! Well, bye bye then!✨

Sincerely, Rimi😙
