Water Cycle rap!

Journey of the water
It’s so special that
No one can live without it…
There’re…only 6 processes
Which keeps on circulating
Support life, and help us from living.

Yo let’s go…
First, on the top, is… evaporation                            
Water heats up in river, lake and ocean.
They turn to air vapor, then fly right up to the sky.
And the following step is… condensation.
Water gets cold, it change its formation
Into those enormous round clouds
Heavy droplets are going to fall down.

They say what comes up must fall down                         
Precipitation that’s what I’m showing u now.
so much water has condensed, that the air cannot hold it 
it falls back down in the form of rain, it hits the surface and find its friends.
They run downhill into their streams, surface run-off that’s what it’s mean.

Didn’t show Infiltration, and that’s a big mistake.
It’s a process that everyone needs to know
When water hits the soil it soaks right down
Because the force of gravity it hits the ground.
   And finally, is the process of discharge
That’s when the ground water, brings it back
to the ocean, where it originated and it start all over…

Journey of the water                                                 
It’s so special that
No one can live without it…
There’re…only 6 processes
Which keeps on circulating
Support life, and help us from living.

If you get the water cycle put your hands up
If you get the water cycle put your hands up
All of those are the 6 steps u need to know ( need to know)
And if you get the water cycle put your hands up
If you get the water cycle put your hands up
Now that u understand it, u can sing it with me !!!

Journey of the water                                                 
It’s so special that
No one can live without it…
There’re…only 6 processes
Which keeps on circulating
Support life, and help us from living.

Assignment #1 Blog post

          My summer was pretty awesome, but on the other side, it was very boring too. When summer started, I kept wondering how boring it’s going to be, but guess what, I did a lot of things and also studied. For the whole summer, every day is the same routine; I woke up at 10 A.M, got out of my bed and start a new day. I had tutors who come to my house to teach me every day. I think it was a very good idea to study in the summer because summer is quite long period; it’s very easy for us to forget simple things that we studied. I learned a lot of new knowledge as well as reviewed old things, but that’s not the only thing I did. I went to play basketball nearly every weekend. It helped me to be fit a lot. On the 20th of July, I and whole big family went to Da Nang. There were relatives from America, too. They visited us every 2 years, that’s why my family held a trip to Da Nang. This place very beautiful but also very hot. We stayed at a 5 stars resort, it was expensive, but it worth the money. The view was gorgeous, I took hundreds of photos. I also ate a lot of food, and got myself some more “kilograms”. This was the only vacation I took with my family, but I enjoyed it a lot. Time passes really quick, it’s already August, which means I have to say good-bye to my relatives in my America, as well as getting ready for school. I prepare all the things I need a week before school, it was very excited. So that’s my summer. I really enjoyed it. It was great.

          There are a lot of things that I’m most looking forward to this year in Social Studies class. First, I am looking forward at be organized and neat. I think it will be very important in the future to do things in an organized way. I am also interested in learning how to speak in public, as you said; to speak in public is even scarier than death. We must get used to it, and be confident. Another thing I want to know is about how human interact with the environment and how it change over time. For me, this is a very important course. This is the last year of middle school, and high school is a whole different level. I want to be well prepared for high school and success in this subject. Overall, I hope this year will be a enjoyable and awesome year, and to learn a lot more with you, Mr. Blake.
