Scientists can now count birds from space usually they identify the endangered birds. The scientists can see albatrosses because they are large, mostly white, and with wingspans from 11 feet. Scientists say that studying albatrosses are hard because they live on inaccessible or remote islands. That is the first time they ever counted birds from space. The camera cans see things that are 30 centimeters small and when they see the albatrosses they see tiny white dots. Out of the 22 albatrosses they saw 10 of them were considered endangered or critically endangered. 170504113945-satellite-image-chatham-islands-780x439__1_.jpg What I've learned this week is that in Bridge to Terabithia there is a boy named Jess and he has 4 sisters and he is the only boy out of 5 kids. He finds out that there is a girl that is moving next door with her family. When school starts he sees that the girl that moved right next door to him is going to the same school as him. On the first day of school everyone in class is dressed nicely except Leslie and everyone is staring at her because they think she's weird. After class it's recess and all the boys from fourth to fifth grade are racing. Jess likes to run so he participates but then Leslie joins too and all the boys think that is weird because girl's don't race and I'm not trying to be sexist but that's what it said in the book.Leslie finally starts racing and she beats every boy that was racing her including Jess. Eventually, all the boys think that racing is getting boring because of Leslie but it's just because she's faster than all of them.

I learned about linking verbs on Thursday. Linking Verbs join a subject with a subject complement. Some Common Linking Verbs are am, is, are, was, were, will be, has been, had been, appear, become, feel, grow, look, remain, seem, smell, taste, stay, and turn. Some verbs can be action verb or a linking verb. Any Linking Verb can be substituted with a to be verb. lenkeng_virbs.png http://money.cnn.com/2017/03/29/technology/jeff-bezos-richest/index.html
There is a man and his name is Jeff Bezos apparently he is the second richest person on the planet and I have no idea who this man is. I looked up a picture and he's bald, but he is the CEO of Amazon, which I didn't know there was a CEO for Amazon. Jeff Bezos has passed Warren Buffet and now I guess Warren Buffet is the third richest person in the world. Since a lot of people buy stuff from Amazon his net worth got added $1.5 billion. Now this man is worth about $75.6 billion. Good for him. jef_bezos.jpg This week I learned about verbs. I learned about a verb phrase and common auxiliary verbs. Verb Phrases are two or more words that work together as a unit. A verb phrase may have one or more auxiliary verb and one main verb. Common auxiliary verbs or as I like to call them common aux verbs are be and have and their various forms; as well as do, did, can, may, might, should, could, and will. I also learned about transtive and intransitive verbs. Transitive verbs express an action that passes from a doer to a receiver. The receiver of an action is a direct object. Intransitive verbs do not have a receiver to the action.

Today, in March 9, 2017 was the 20th year anniversary for the death of Christopher Wallace also known as (The Notorious B.I.G) or Biggie Smalls. On March 9, 1997 Biggie was shot and killed while in a car, until today people still don't know who killed Biggie. Even though Biggie was killed 20 years ago people still love his songs and music. Honestly, I still have some ofe Biggie's songs in my playlist. The murder of Biggie is still unsolved. Biggie married a woman named Faith Evans and she gave birth to a boy named Christopher Wallace Jr. or C.J a few months before Biggie died. biggie.jpg In the year 2081 the government made everyone equal and how they did that was that they made everyone handicapped and everyone that was smarter than other people had to wear a transmitter, a transmitter is a thing they wear like a helmet and it makes noise so that they become distracted. Stronger people had to wear weights, and beautiful people had to wear a mask. There were two people named George and Hazel Bergeron and their son was captured, Hazel forgot what happened and George wore a transmitter so he got distracted. They were watching tv when they saw that their son escaped from prison. Their was a person that made people handicapped and that person was called the handicapper general or her real name Diana Moon Glamper. Harrison Bergeron went to the place that George and Hazel were watching and a few minutes later Diana Moon Galmper shot Harrison and he died.
In science what I've learned was how we have muscle growth and also the bad stuff about muscle growth and the diseases you can get. So in muscle growth there is actually some pills you can take so that your muscles grow bigger and stronger, but honestly i think it's the same thing as steroids except it's not called steroids. Some bad things that you can get from muscle growth is called Myositis and that is a disease and the ways you can get it is if you exercise too much and from that you can get muscle inflammation which is also called Myositis and it can be caused by infection, injury, certain medicines, too much exercise, and chronic disease.
Ethos, Pathos, and Logos are persuasive ways people in commercials or ads make you buy their item. Ethos is about making people like ethics and convince them to buy their item. Pathos is about feeling and that if they make the watchers make them like the item they will buy it. When people use Pathos it is also used in Animal Shelter commercials because they put pictures of cute dogs and cats and how their sad, when the commercial people make the watcher sad or feel bad for them they usually buy a dog or cat or they could either donate. Logos is about making people like logic and the commercial people do logical things to make the watchers buy their items.
