The Volcano

A couple days ago, a real volcano erupted in Alaska. It wasn't as big as the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius on Pompeii, but it was good enough. We saw a few pictures online but then the camera on the volcano went out.
So then we decided to make our own volcano. We used mud from our yard and put a bottle in the middle for the hole. We covered up the bottle but not the hole on top. We then poured in vinegar, and then added a little bit of baking soda. Then it made something fizzy. It was carbon dioxide. But it looked like the volcano was erupting because it came out of the hole on the top and went down the side of the volcano.
I learned that magma is another name for lava. And there are three types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Volcanos are igneous rocks.
Volcanoes are really cool. We still have the volcano that we made outside on our porch. We can make it erupt again if we want.

My inventions

I have some inventions I have made with my snap circuit set. I made my own lamp. It has a switch and a button. The switch will turn on the button and then the button makes the light go when I hold it down.
I also made my own alarm circuit. It plays an alarm because there is an alarm that I connected to a speaker and then when I flipped the switch, it turned on the alarm. The alarm sounds like a siren.
There is a piece in the snap circuit set called a photoresistor. The photoresistor only works in the light. If it is in the dark or you cover it up, whatever it is connected to will stop working. It only goes when it is in a lighted room or light shines on it. I had my photoresistor connected to a speaker and it made noise in the room. But when I covered it up, it stopped. The photoresistor is my favorite piece.
I love my snap circuit set.

My Snap Circuits

I was able to pick out some toys for my birthday and one was called "Snap Circuits". I am able to learn about electricity by building lots of things. So far, I have made a light, a fan, an alarm circuit, et cetera. That means "and all the rest" or "and so forth" in Latin. The snap circits are really fun to do. I had momma help me once and I am now able to figure them out myself.

My Baseball Game

Today's baseball game was really good. The score was 10 to 1. My team won the game. My first hit was an RBI. I got out at first, but the guy at third base ran home and made the first score of the game. My second hit was a single. I got to first base. I only got to second base that time before the inning was over. I played first base and I sat on the bench. This was a very good day for me.

St. Patrick

Today I made a picture of St. Patrick but it turned out looking more like Ramses! St. Patrick taught all the people of Ireland to become a Christian by using a shamrock. He showed them how the three leaves on one stem was like God in the Trinity.

My favorite foods

I have two favorite foods. They are pita and pizza. Pita is good because I like to dip it in hummus. It's fun to watch pita bake and puff at home. I like to eat pizza because it's hot and tasty. The best pizza I like to eat is called white pizza. My two favorite foods, pita and pizza, are really good when they are homemade.

Even though I have lots of favorite foods I like pita and pizza best.
