A Change For School.

I think that every school has good and bad things. Many schools can have more things than others or have a different schedule. CIC is not the biggest school that exists, but we have a lot of things that many other schools don't. For example, we have a soccer field and we are surrounded by nature. Many schools want these things, but are not able to have them, because of their location and resources. In CIC students may want a pool, a tennis court, air conditioner, and many other things. I am part of the CIC community, and I would love to have a big gymnastics gym at school. I think that it would really take up space, time, and also money, and the CIC administration may say no. Nevertheless, I will give some reasons why CIC should have a gymnastics gym.

I think that having a big gymnastics gym would be good for the school, because CIC could offer more sports for students to choose from. We would also be able to compete against other schools. I think that the competition part would help a bit with the school's reputation. When parents from other schools see how good the school's sports are, and how nice the students are, maybe they would decide to change their kids from one school to another. Having more students at CIC would, furthermore, benefit the school because we would have more students paying. The more money the school get, the more things we can get, such as the swimming pool and the tennis courts other students want.

For all the reasons mentioned above, I believe that CIC should create a gymnastics gym, and buy the special equiptment needed for this sport. I would like to have the gym for the next school year. To get the money we need, I think that the school should do more fund-raisers, more pep-rallies, and STUCO could make some special days, so that the students pay a bit and they could collect money and then give it to the school. Sports are about team work, and since this is a sports related activity, we should all work together. Plus, Gymnastics ROCK!!!!!!

Endangered Animals!!

There are many animal species that are endangerd and disapearing. There are major causes like: Habitat destruction, Introduction of exotic species, and Overexploitation. Habitat Destruction: When there are fast changes, the habitat starts to destroy, an example is the climate change. Another reason is that almost every region of the world has been affected by humans. Humans destroy natural habitats for constructing, farming, mining, and other activities. Introduction exotic species: Natural or indigenous species, are the ones that are born and grow naturally in one place, they are naturally adapted to the climate they live on. Many species are introduced by humans, accidentally or on purpose, but they may cause serious alterations in the eviorment, and harmful damages, maybe they eat a indigenous specie from that place. Overexploitation: Those are the species that are being used for trading. Due to the trading of animal parts, many species are beginning to suffrer high rates of overexploitation. Examples of these are Whales, for their fat, Rhinos for their horns, and Tigers for their skin.

SAVE THE ENDANGERED ANIMALS!!!!!!

Technology and Humanities

I think that this blog will be very useful, because now we can read all of our classmates opinions, and we can do activities with it. Another reason is that we need to be very organized, now that we are in middle school. Maybe it also makes the class better, instead of writing all day and reading articles. A suggestion for our humanities class is that we work more in the computers, instead of Ms. Thomas looking for the articles. Maybe we could all look for an article, and then we vote which one is better. Another suggestion is, that maybe instead of writing the summaries of what we read in pencil and parer, maybe we could come down to the computer lab and work. Another thing is that Ms. Thomas ask us to bring our laptops or maybe the school could buy some for the humanities department. I think that all the suggestions I gave here are really good, and maybe the school and Ms. Thomas will consider some of these.
