Hi Everyone! In this post, I'll be sharing a few fun facts with you! Hope you enjoy them. :-) When do ants sleep? Never! They don't sleep! You can't keep your eyes open while sneezing, it's impossible! The little dot above the "i" is called a "Tittle". If spell the word "Racecar" backwards, you still get "Racecar"! Teddy Bears got their name after President Teddy Rosevelt. Fish sleep with their eyes open! The longest word you can spell with the top line of the keyboard is "Typewriter" The sentence, " The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses all the letters of the alphabet. No word in the English language rhymes with "orange". The song "Happy Birthday is copyrighted.

Hi! This week lots of us have gone back to school! To get into the school spirit, I thought of posting this bit of information I found out! Hope you find it Mathtastic! Adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying are things that we must know how to do. It seems like a nuisance trying to memorize our multiplication tables or to do long division. In school, when we are asked to learn our facts we often think that we’re never going to use them. What good are they? But as we grow older we realize that to do more complicated math, we must know the basics. Not only do we use math in our everyday lives, but our brain also recognizes itself as we learn math. This was proved by a team of scientists from Stanford University in California. These scientists had proven this by performing an experiment involving 28 students between the ages of 7 to 9 years old. Each person was given a basic math problem such as, 3+4=7. The students then had to press a button to confirm whether thi...

Hi everyone! I picked up a movie yesterday called A Little Princess.  I  had read the book, but I hadn't seen the movie. I thought, "It should be interesting to compare the movie to the book." With that in mind, I bought it.  The movie was a touching story about a little girl named Sara Crewe. Sara's father, Mr. Crewe, had to go into war. He put Sara under the responsibility of Miss Minchin's Seminary for Girls. When they arrived, Miss Minchin was there to greet them. She seemed very kind. The cold truth was that she was more interested in Sara's wealth rather than Sara herself. Miss Minchin lead the way to  little Sara's  room. While there, Mr. Crewe had to bid farewell to his daughter, for his boat would leave in a few minutes. He gifted his little princess a doll from France which he named Emily. "Whenever you miss me dearly," he said to Sara, "tell Emily. She will send me a message no matter where I am. When you hug her, you'll rea...

Hi there! Today I was watching a movie on Netflix called "Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars!" It is a Disney movie starring Jennifer Stone. A girl named Harriet Welsch is determined to win the title of class blogger. While on her "mission" Harriet realizes that the best thing to blog about was right in front of her! Harriet's entire school is obsessed with this new pop star named Skander Hills, the star of   the movie her father was producing called    Spy Teen .  But as she became more popular at school because of her blog, her friends had started to abandoned her. Before she knew it, Harriet had blogged about being "best friends" with Skander, and to prove it she went to extremes! She snuck onto the set, into his hotel room, and even followed him home! The final straw was when she posted on her blog that Skander hates his fans. Her father was about to lose the movie deal, that's when Harriet stepped in. Somehow she convinced Skander to do the movie.  ...

Hey there! I thought I'd tell you about a book I just read. It is called Tuesdays at the Castle . I thought that it would be just another story about a prince and princess. But since I was bored, I thought, 'Why not read the first few chapters?'  The story takes place in a magical castle, with a king and queen. They had three children. Rolf, the oldest, was heir to the throne. Next was Delilah, she's the one who keeps things under control. Finally, there's little Cecelia, she was the castle's favorite and was mostly interested in the room and passageways. One day, the king and queen went out to the college of wizards. While on their way, they get ambushed by bandits. When news of their death devastates the kingdom, everyone turns to Rolf for a new leader. Meanwhile, neighboring kingdoms and his own council are plotting against him! The castle warns the three children and with the help of the maids and cooks, they defeat the p...

Today is Nelson R.  Mandela's  Birthday. Born today, July 18th, in 1918, Nelson was about to make a difference. Who was Nelson Mandela? He was South America's first black chief executive, and the first elected in a completely representative democratic election. He also helped a lot to dismantle the system of apartheid, or separateness. Apartheid was South Africa's policy of racial discrimination  from 1948-1994. A majority of native South Africans were treated as lower-class compared to people with fairer skin. Nelson was set out to demolish this discrimination. It landed him in prison for 27 years. After he was released, Nelson worked hard towards a better future for everyone in South Africa. Today  Nelson R.  Mandela is famous for his long fight to racial prejudice. He became a hero in the eyes of everyone for his bravery and persistence. Today on his 96th birthday, we remember him not only as the person who fought against racial prejudice, but as a person wh...
