WEX Fictional Story Reflection
My story was about a 7 year old girl named Kay. First, she brushes her teeth, and finds her stuffed bear, Beary. Then, she wakes up late, so she rushes to get to school. Since she was late for school, she is late for school, and her teacher gets SUPER mad at her. She is sent tothe principal's office and has to talk to Mrs. Durnblack. Kay claims that her mole gives her "evil powers". Mrs. D gives her detention, and Kay creates a stick creation. Finally, detention is over and her record is cleaned. Then, comes the last day of school. She is caught daydreaming, and is also a little conserned that she is not ready to leave 2nd grade. Finally, in the middle of the summer, she gets a letter from her teacher that tells her how proud she was of Kay.
I was so proud of this story. I could totally feel how Kay would feel all throughout the story. Through all of her crazy mis-haps and adventures, I could tell what Kay would be feeling. I also really tried to relate with other people, as well as myself. I really hope everyone enjoys my story, and my character Kay. She is very crazy!

Breathing Through Straws
Today in science class, we did an expiriment with straws. We had to breath through wide and thin straws doing different activities. The graph to the left shows how many breaths I took during each activity with each straw. Here is my reflection:
Some of the activities were harder to do while breathing throgh the wide straws then others. The one that was hard to do was running in place. While breathing throgh the straw and running in place, it was harder to keep going than the others. The small straw effected me differently than the wide straw. I think the wide straw allowed more air to come in and out. The small straw didn't allow much air to come in and out. I think we only breathed out of the thin straw for 20 seconds instead of 1 minute for safety reasons. Sometimes people get light-headed if they don't get enough air. I also think that we were not asked to run or walk with the thin straw for safety reasons. When you become more active, your breathing changes. It becomes faster. The reason why you breathe faster when you are active is because your body needs more oxygen. So, your heart starts beating faster to get oxygen to the body. And since your blood goes through the lungs and your heart is beating faster, you must breathe faster.

Heart Rate Activity
Today, we did an activity where we needed to count our pulse. First, we checked our pulse when we were resting, and then we checked our pulse after we did 50 jumping-jacks. On the left is my results. Here is my reflection:
I noticed that when I became more active, my heart rate got really fast. It was much, much faster than the rate I had when I was resting. My heart rate changed when I was more active because my body's cells needed more energy when I exercised. To be able to make more energy, they need oxygen and nutrients.
