Community and Friendship

The shipposauruses had a lot of teamwork while doing these 3 activities. I tried to be a leader in all of them, but, it turned out I wasn’t the best leader. Hogcall was a fun  game. We all made the mmph sounds to ‘talk’ to each other. On the marble challenge we started off very well but at the end we started to lose our tempo. At the maze we all communicated with pointing to each box of where we should go next. Overall we all worked really well together.

Adorning The Body

Why did the Egyptians wear light and simple clothing?

  • Clothes made from linen
  • Linen created from fiber flax
  • Men dressed in length of cloth and a shirt around the waist
  • Women wore long skirts or sleeveless dresses sometimes topped by a shawl

What type of jewelry did the Egyptians wear?

  • Broad collars with strands of beads, pectorals (chest adornments), bracelets, armbands, rings, earrings, charms, amulets, and anklets.
  • Carnelian, lapis lazuli and turquoise were used to create very valuable jewelry

Why do the Egyptians care about their hair?

  • Dyed with Henna
  • Cut very short or shaved heads
  • Wealthy people owned elaborate wigs made from human hair
  • Tied cones of scented fat, or perfumed pomades to their wig and it would give off an attractive smell

Why would the Egyptians wear cosmetics?

  • Wore for fashion and protection from weather
  • Perfumed oils to soften skin
  • Colored eyes with a green substance from a soft stone called malachite
  • Outlined eyes with black kohl to protect their eyes from the sin and to make their eyes look larger, also helped protect wearers from diseases

Character Favorites in Seedfolks

My favorite character in the book Seedfolks is Sam. He is always determined to help other people, and help his neighborhood. He is observing a lot of things, he realized that the garden is turning back to Cleveland. He notices that people are talking to each other, thanks to him. He is very kind to everyone and gets people talking to each other. He tries to make people from other countries feel more welcome in Cleveland. Through the years that he has worked to make the world a better place he has been so nice to everyone.

I want to visit Barcelona

I would love to go to Barcelona. I would like to go there because I am a big fan of Barcelona, the Soccer team. I would visit The Sagrada and the Barcelona’s Soccer stadium. I have seen a lot of people walk around on the streets, in NC people don’t walk on the streets often. It would be cool to walk around instead of driving in cars. I’ve heard that the food in Barcelona is unique and It would be cool to try something different for once. I really want to go to Barcelona and hope I can go sometime in my lifetime.
