Beautiful Bromeliads

Oh Bromeliads, how I love your features and that color of your flowers. I am so happy trying to find all the kinds of bromeliads. There are lots in the classrooms and in the garden. There are Guzmanias, Aechmeas, Vrieseas and Neoregelias. What's so interesting is that they all have a type of miniature pool tank and that is were they store water and make a flower.

When I saw it being watered I thought that the plants needed to be watered were the roots were. I was surprised that you needed to put water it in the little pool. So that was when I got my interest in these kinds of plants. One day we were helping one of my friends move and she was giving her plants away. I saw a bromeliad and then I immediately got it and I saw that there was 2 pups.  I was really exited to see them because I am so interested in them.

 I hope in the future I will still enjoy bromeliads and grow a lot of them. I will even make blog of my bromeliad flowering. Maybe I will even hybridize them.

All the bromeliads below are at school.

This is a plant I brought in.

I Enjoy Reading

My friend and I have been going to the library and getting a bunch of books. One of the books I have gotten is The One and Only Ivan. 

Alyssa had gotten this book called Riding Freedom. So far I really enjoy the book. It is sad at first and then it becomes funny. Alyssa has said that the book is sad at first but she hopes it will become happier deeper in the end of the book. I really love these books. Maybe you can go and read these books too.

This is the book Alyssa is reading

Alphabet Aerobatics

  One day I was scrolling through the Internet. I found a video of a boy that was saying the Alphabet Aerobatics. At first I didn't know what it was so I asked my sister if she knew about it and she did. She said that the alphabet aerobatics is the alphabet, but you first start with words that start with A, then it goes to words that start B, then C and on and on. Except there is a twist to it. You have to say it really fast. I have learned A to E. Today I will teach you how to say the A part, B part and C part. If you don't learn it fast, it's okay because it took me about two weeks to learn just A, B, and C. So here are the lyrics for the A part.

 Artificial amateurs, aren't at all amazing 
Analytically I assault animate things 

Part B

Broken barriers bounded by the bomb beat, 
Building are broken basically I'm bombarding

C part

Casually create catastrophes causalities 
canceling cats got the canopies collapsing

     

Now all you have to do is put them together and say it really fast. Let's see which Classtopian learns it first!

My New Book

Reading is interesting because it's exciting to see what happens next. Well, I have one of those books. I am starting a book, May Bird The Warrior Princess. This book is about a girl in middle school, May Ellen Bird, who tries to find her way to the end of the universe. Once I looked at it, I knew I had to read it. Of all my time reading, I loved reading adventure books the most.

Since I have started the book, it was really good. There are three books, but I only have the third one. I am hoping that I can find the two other books.

This is the book I am reading

Wonderful World of Reading

I really like reading, and I have been waiting for the library to open. While I waited for it to open, I read some  books from the class library, and some from home. The books I really enjoyed were The Report Card, and The blossoming world of Violet Diamond. The Blossoming World of Violet Diamond was sad to me.

The Blossoming world of Violet Diamond was about a girl named Violet. Her mom and her adopted sister looked similar but she didn't. Violet was determined to find the part of the family that looked like her.

The report Card is about a girl, Nora, who was smart since she was little. She did not want to be treated differently, so she acted like she was an average student.


I  love reading!
                                                                             
                                                 

                                     

Epidendrum Debate

These are pictures of the two Epidendrums that I have at my school.

This is the red Epidendrum.

This is the orange Epidendrum.

I have no idea if they are the same Epidendrum species or not. I do not even know what type/ types they are. Fred Clarke said that they are E. radicans but our friend "The" disagrees and says they are E. ibaguense.

If anyone knows the true identity of picture please leave a comment for us.

Is it , radicans or ibaguense?

Hawaiian Vacation

On the 12th of September I went to Hawaii for a vacation with my family. There were 7 of us on the trip. It was strange because I had to miss a week of school. I didn't mind because my family has been planning this trip for a while.

We went to a section of a island called Honolulu. During the trip we did a lot of fun things like going to the beaches.

This beach is one of the most known beach in Honolulu and it is called Lanikai.

Our hotel was cool, it had a beach and a pool. We were there for 8 days. but the view wasn’t that good. All you could see was a roof.

This is the view from the balcony

Another thing we did was go to a Japanese temple. It was called Byodo-In Temple. There was a forest around it and pineapple were growing on the trees. When I saw that I thought I recognized them because the leaves of the pineapple look like some of the Bromeliads that we have at school.

This is the temple

On the 2nd to last day we went to a luau. We got necklaces, got to eat, and saw a music show. It was fun.

This is the luau

The last day wasn’t that fun. All we did was pack, and drive to the airport. The airplane was called American Airlines. It had a tablet built into the seat, and I watched movies on it. That was the end of my trip.
I brought back chocolate for my classmates to share.
