Tiny windmills

This paragraph is about tiny 1.8 mm windmills that can power devices and one day may even power a whole house. Almost a thousand tiny windmills can fit inside a cellphone case! This little windmill can stand heavy winds because it is using nickel alloy. These windmills are almost always blowing wind.The creator of the tiny windmill was Jung-Chin Chiao with help from his assistant Smitha Rao. Chiao thought of this idea when he wanted to use a windmill to power his devices with out using a big wind turbine. Researches state that almost one hundred tiny windmills could be enough to charge a phone for an emergency. Chiao and his assistant are already talking to a big company about putting the windmills in stores. 

•  My mom told me to turn on the turbine because she was hot.
•  For my birthday my sister made me a wafer cake.
• my brother bought me a prototype of the Statue of Liberty
•  At the petting zoo I saw a man harnessing a horse
•  My mom said my stereo battery was durable.
•  "How can you withstand the cold?" asked my brother.
•  my teacher told me I need to have an arduous effort. 
•  My brother said it was impossible to count all the microns in an object.
•  I was brainstorming for what I should have for dinner and thought of nothing.

2nd Quarter Computers

I overall personally don't use computers that often except for in technology. It was nice to learn about computers this quarter. The things I liked about technology was working with excel. Even though sometimes the computers do not cooperate sometimes, we got by. When the computers shut down randomly, I lost a lot of work.

Christmas Season

On Christmas Eve my family usually goes to my dad's parent's house, my grandparents, and have dinner and open presents. Then we go home and wake up on Christmas day and  do our own Christmas. Later on Christmas Day we go to my mom's parents house, my other grandma, and have lunch, dinner and open presents there. So the days around Christmas are really busy for my family.

U.S.A vs Europe

My opinion is that the US is correct because everybody should my special in some way. For example some people are richer than others. Europe thinks that everybody should be ordinary , but if everybody was ordinary then we could not learn from or learn about each other. the up side to being special is...

Snow Day

It was sleeting. We were sure it was going to be a half day, but then the intercom came on and canceled the basketball games and practice (but not school). I want to have a half day because then our parents will not have to worry about us getting home when the roads are worse. The news said that the weather will get worse. By 2:00 today there is supposed to be ice. If there is ice then once the early bus students get taken home then how will the later buses get the other students home in the bad weather. Also, if there is a half day we would have to stay until after 11:00 for it to count as a full day so we do not have to make up it up.
