Correct Posture

  1. Can you do these stretches sitting down or standing up? You can do these positions in a fetal position.
  2. What posture should you always begin at? neutral
  3. Why is breathing helpful?  It’s helpful because your blood needs to move all over to your body.
  4. Choose three of these stretches as your favorite.  Why did you select them. Shoulder rolls, Hand fans, and Rest eyes. I picked all three of them because i believe that they will help me after i have been staring in front of a computer way to long.

Why I chose to come to Saint Mary’s High School

Last year i didn’t have a choice on what school to attend because i had already attended the elementary school and my younger brother was still in that school. He just had one more year until he could move up and then he would be a freshmen in high school. I thought that i would only be going to Saint Mary’s High School for a year and then i would be leaving and finally going to a school i would enjoy.  When the day came to register for Saint Mary’s High School, my mind was still made up and i didn’t change. I felt like I’ve been there all my life  and i would just be stuck there. When it came to be my first day of being a freshmen of this high school i met some really great people and luckily already knew many others. I felt comfortable around my new and old friends. I felt welcome with my new group of friends i started to have a different feeling of this school. After meeting some great people in my freshmen year i felt different about everything and it really opened my eyes on different things towards the school. Now i feel like i am at home.

How to Correct Bad Posture

When i googled in “How to Correct Bad Posture”, i found a website called “http://www.ehow.com/how_4616656_correct-bad-posture.html” On this website i found at least five bullet points that talk about what we had talked about in Mrs. Fagan’s class. And they are;

1. You all should do all different kinds of posture streches and exercises slowly, without over streching.

2.  All of the hours of sitting infront of the computer and slouching will soon catch up with you, so it is better if you get up between a few hours and just move around for a bit before sitting back down.

3.  A good exercise to start is with would be working on your lower back, sit near the end of the chair so that  your feet are at a right angle to the ground and more than a shoulder’s width apart. Lean over slowly so that your shoulders will be between your knees. Lay your hands on the floor and try as much as you can to reach through the chair to the floor behind it.

4.  If you have bad posture problems, you should not be lifting anything over your head.

5.  If you have just a bit of a mild back posture  this can be prevented and treated with exercising and streching out during and after you are using the computer.

Tiny T. rex fossil discovery startles scientists

  1. Who/what is this article about?  This article is about a tiny Tyrannosaurus rex, who had the same features back 125 million years ago. But the only thing different here is that this T-rex was only nine feet tall and only weighted about 150 pounds. Also that it lived 60 million years before Tyrannosaurus rex came to earth.
  2. Where was this article taking place?  They had found the fossil in northeastern China. Where they discovered it by the lake beds.
  3. What is the topic comparing and/or contrasting? “The most interesting and important thing about this new fossil is that It is completely unexpected,” said Stephen Brusatte, co-author of the article. But she also added that it is getting harder to find fossils that can throw us off of curve.
  4. When did this particular situation occur? Many scientists think that this would have to be the very first time they have ever deal with anything like this before. It’s extremely rare.
  5. All of the pictorial and factual evidence has helped you shape your thoughts on this topic. In your own words, please predict one possible solution/outcome of this situation. I honestly believe that they will soon find out more information about this tiny t-rex and predict more information on this tiny t-rex and find out that maybe this was the very first t-rex on earth before the normal sized one’s came.
  6. Compare this article with something you have read or seen before.  Why does this ring a bell?  (this could be a song, television show, movie, friend, life experience etc.) This article just made me think about jurassic park and how they had all different kinds of dinosaur in a theme park. And how “fake” dinosaurs were scientifically made by chemicals and fake DNA.
  7. Give some instances where this article looses your attention.  Why?  What were they discussing? At some point i losted it lost my attention by reading the part  when they had to send it back to China. I would really want them to learn more information on this fossil.
  8. If you could pick a different ending to this particular situation, what would it be and why? I would say i would hope that they would not bring it back to China but that they should study and looking for more information on the fossil. They would learn many things and even more information on this fossil.
  9. What is the most important message that is embedded within this story?  The important message in this article that really spoke out to me was talking about that there was life way before dinosaur. Even when there was a tiny t-rex, there might have many different and small things that would have been on the earth.
  10. Did you agree or disagree with the decision making in this story? (This may be hard if your article does not pertain to an individual; try your best)  I believe that the scientists who are working hard to find out this information and test around with the fossil is a big step to even see what was there even before dinosaurs were on earth.

My Favorite Childhood Memory.

My favorite childhood memory is when i use to attend Montclair elementary school, during the grades of first through third. I cherish those years to the fullest. That school helped me meet my very first best friend. Julianne Peters, she has been my best friend since first grade and our friendship is still going on strong. Even though we both had to move away from Montclair, we wont forget about the amazing moments we’ve made at that place. We both still talk from time to time but we will always remain best friends.
