The Kids Business Book

1. The kids set up the business because, They wanted to earn money for what they do.
2. The kids set up particular businesses because, they chose the thing they would like to do and, they earned money off of doing it.

Minnesota Orchestra

1. This site might be interesting to kids. It is very informal and detailed.
2. I like this site because it gives off alot of information. The site has when the Orchestra started playing and how many people are in the orchestra.
   
3. I do not like that there is no interacting pictures of the orchestra.
4. The site did motivate to want to go the field trip. It did because, I've never been to the minnesota orchestra and I'd like to go.

Think and respond

1. That winning isn't everything and she could figure out to win things on her own
2. In the end and beginning of the story Mari felt like she needed to find a way to make her project look realistic and special.
3. You need to be dependent on other people because maybe something bad might happen or you need advice for something. You could be in a bad situation like Mari and need to be dependent of other people.
4. Teachers should judge students projects on how creative and how much they thought out the project. I know this because, most students who get good grades use their creativity and thoughts.
5. I flipped through the book before I read it. I looked at he problem Mari had and guessed what was going to happen. I did this because I like to know what happens before it begins.

Picturing America

I think they tried to teach american history like this because it seems more interesting to show pictures of american history than rather reading it in a book or encyclopedia(ECT...).

From these pictures you can learn how they dressed and what things looked like then. The cities and homes look different than now. The homes and cities looked more older and less small than now. The people wore wigs and long cloaks then also.  

I think the pictures were selected to show that things in american history were more older and historical than now. People then were American Heros too so, they could've picked those pictures for American Heros.

The pictures that I like are Falling water, and View from mount Holyoke, Northampton, Massachusetts, after thunderstorm. I like these pictures because they are about nature and they are beautiful.

Painting with a hammer

I think that this video painting with a hammer was named this because, The man in the video was making art with the silver. He was using  tools like hammers to make art. That is why I think this video is called painting with a hammer.

Lebanon Silver Mine

In stop 2, ("The Lunch Room") The miners used a double jack sledge hammer. They would see by having candles in the mine with them. At stop 5,("The Changing Room")  Miners would change there wet mining clothes for new dry clothes after they were done with their work. There was a fireplace in that room so they could dry their clothes. In stop 7, (" The Tool Shed") I recognize the hammer at the bottom. They could've used that for mining silver and other minerals. In stop 12,("Powering The Mill") The mill had been powered by water and the creek near by.

Silver of the 18th, 19th, and 20th Century

These pictures look the same in lots of ways. They both look like they are used for some sort of drinking set. They all are made from silver and are in tea form. They all look like they were used a long time ago like, in the 1800's. The silver drinking sets
