Yaris= Awesomeness!

Dear Mom,
I know you are looking for a car and I have found the one for you! It is affordable, safe, good looking, and has great gas mileage! You might be thinking "That seems to good to be true," but it's not! The car I am talking about is the 2010 Toyota Yaris. It is under thirteen-thousand dollars and has about 45 miles per hout. i suggest we go out and buy one now!
Sincerely, Harris

Silver- I have forks, knive and spoons "a.k.a. silverware" made out of it.

Maps Maps Maps! Blog 2


My favorite kind of map has to be the Robinson Projection. I like it the most because you can see the whole globe at once. It also shows how big each country is correctly. I don't like to be misguided about how big Greenland is! That is why I like the Robinson Projection map more than any other map.

Blog #1 Astronomy is awesome!


Ever since I was a little kid, I have loved looking up at the stars at night. Sadly, since I lived in New York, a sky full of stars was scarce due to light pollution. Every time I went to Georgia, I would spend practically all night staring up at the beautiful twinkling stars.Now that I live in North Carolina, I am able to look up almost every night and see a star shining back at me. I have tried to get a better look with telescopes that I have had throughou my life, but apparently
K-mart doesn't offer high-quality telescopes. One day I hope I can buy or borrow a telescope advanced enough to see the stars, but for now I have to admire them from lightyears aways.
