I Love Flowers

Flowers are amazing! You can find flowers anywhere. There are different types of flowers: Daisies, roses, tulips, sunflowers, and many more.

There is pollen in each flower in the center. Bees and butterflies pollinate flowers which means they take pollen and make new flowers.

The parts of a flower are it’s center, pollen, petals, stem and leaves. Flowers decorate the earth. Flowers are special to the earth because they are natural and they are colorful.

If you grow flowers these are some tips: make sure it gets enough water (not too little and not too much), you also have to let sunshine reach the flower, that means don’t put it under the shade unless it is too hot. Most of all take good care of the flower.

What I Learned About Native Americans

Yesterday, someone in my class’s uncle, who is Native American, came to talk about how he lives. He brought a drum that he made with wood and buffalo skin. I learned that it took him about 6 months to make his amazing traditional outfit. The outfit is made of leather and has beautiful bead work. I also learned that when his relative died he cut off his hair and attached it to his outfit.A drum similar to the one that was brought to the classroom

A Book I Recommend

I recommend the book “Descendants.” Descendants is a very good book because it’s about 4 friends Mal: Maleficent’s daughter, Evie: evil queen’s daughter, Jay: Jafar’s son, and Carlos: Cruella De Vil’s son.  They go to Auradon from the Isle of the lost and figure out being evil is not as good as being good. I do not want to give away Malificent’s plan because you might want to read it. Here is a poem: The main character is Mal. I am rotten to the core she says to herself. Mal wants to prove to her mother she is evil, but she does not know why she can’t be a devil. Mal falls in love, but spell was tough. Mal says, it is so amazing to be nice.😆

The Beautiful Blue Morpho Butterfly

I was a Blue Morpho Butterfly last year.The life cycle of a Blue Morpho Butterfly is: Hatches from a egg, forms into a caterpillar, wraps in a chrysalis, then forms into a butterfly.

The Blue Morpho Butterfly is classified in the Lepidoptera group and is an insect. The Blue Morpho Butterfly is a very special type of butterfly.

The color of the Blue Morpho Butterfly is blue, white and brown. The male’s wings are not really blue! When the sun reflects on the butterfly’s wings, it looks like light blue. It’s really a beautiful type of dark blue. The male morpho butterfly is more beautiful than the female because the male has dark blue wings and a more impressive body design. The female brown wings and an impressive body design but not as impressive as the male’s body design.

The pitcher plant is a plant, but it can eat insects! It catches prey by making nectar to attract insects into its unusual leaves. The pitcher plant can be many different colors. It usually is green and purple. The pitcher plant is an endangered plant.

The Rain forest has many endangered animals because people are cutting down the Rain forest.

What I am Thankful For

I am thankful for West Lin because West Lin has beautiful nature such as flowers, trees, bushes and any type of plant in nature.

I am also thankful for my sisters Kayla and Jayna because they are always there when I need them and because they help me with homework if I need help. I love my sisters and I love West Lin! My sisters are very funny and kind.

I am also thankful for going on vacation with my dad’s side of the family because not everybody gets to do this as a tradition, but I do! I love going on vacations!

The Amazing Fremont Bridge

The Fremont bridge is a arch bridge and is one of the tallest bridges in Portland.The Fremont bridge has two decks. There is a lower deck that is for cars moving east and there is a top deck that is for cars moving west. The Fremont’s top 381 feet  above the fremont-bridge-d300crw08027-s

salty water. There are no sidewalks on the bridge. The Fremont bridge was built in 1973 for a large amount that is $82 million. That is a large amount right? Can you believe that more than 90,000 vehicles use the Fremont bridge each day.

When the Fremont bridge was in construction, the tall, large middle span was built about one mile away at Swan Island. The Fremont bridge was taken up the river on barges, then the bridge lifted 175 feet into place. The center span weighs 12 million pounds. It used to be 10 times heavier that the previous record. This exact event went right  in the Guinness Book of World Records.

People had a disagreement about the name of the bridge. Everybody thought it might be good to have a person who traveled, so they picked John Charles Fremont. He explored Oregon in 1842. John Charles Fremont was called “the pathfinder.”

The Fremont bridge is my favorite type of bridge!!!

All About Me

Hi Ranchers! My name is Rhianna. I am 8-and-a-half years old. My birthday is February 9th, 2007. I have five people in my family: Kayla, Jayna, my mom, my dad, and me. I am the youngest cousin and sister. My favorite color is pink, but mostly hot pink. My favorite subject is math and art. I like to do art after I do homework. I love to just sit down and draw and color.

People swimming

People swimming in the LOSC swim club                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          My favorite activity to do outside is swimming. I am on the swim team and there are levels. I am in D1 and I passed pre-swim and novice. I go to swim practice on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Jayna is in D11 which is harder. My dad taught me how to dive and how to make my strokes better at our swimming pool at our house. I can dive off the blocks now (at least working on it.) I used to be scared of water and I took swim classes and I learned how to swim. My mom talked to me about joining the swim team, so I did. I was super nervous, but I went and it wasn’t so bad. I did my first meet at the coast in the summer and did a 25 freestyle and 25 breaststroke.                                                                                                                                                                            I forgot to tell you, I take Indian dance class and I do so many performances in front of the crowd. I got nervous at my first performance. I have two friends in my dance class, their names are Nidhi and Tara. We play when we are waiting for our older sisters to be done with their dance class and our parents pick us up. Every Sunday we go out to dinner after dance class. If we don’t have time, we won’t go.

Every summer I go on vacation with my dad’s side of the family.                                          Last summer, I went to Alaska on a cruise called the Norwegion                                           Jewel, at one stop I was a flower girl at my aunt’s wedding. Going on                                  vacation with my dad’s side of the family is a tradition!!!

                                                                I love my life!!!
