by Sophie

Tea is a really sweet and helpful for sore throats and it is always  good for winter my favorite is French Vanilla there is many kinds the most popular is green or black tea normally it is called regular Tea.

 

This Tea would probably be cinnamon or black Tea you can tell by the color or the way it smells.  Tea can have many things to go with it like Honey, Agave, sugar cubes and a couple more I  believe. Tea can also help when you when you have a headache  it helps me because it has caffeine but that sometimes it causes me to have headaches but it could work for you I do not know. Here are some flavors that I know french Vanilla, peach, Orange, decaf,  salted caramel, black Tea, Green Tea,cinnamon,herbal Tea, Mandarin Orange Spice Tea and lemon Tea. And A whole lot more.

     

Snowboarding

by Michael

Have you ever went snowboarding it’s really fun. The first ever snowboard was made in 1977! Wow! And the snowboard changed a lot from 1977 to right now. Here’s a picture of what the 1977 snowboard looks like and a “right now” snowboard.

It’s a big difference you could see right. So here I chose the snowboard because it’s colorful and it’s cool like you could go really fast but you might not like fast I use to not to but not now. I love going fast and another reason is that when I go skiing my brother always says that I need to parallel and it’s really annoying and so it’s really good for me to go snowboarding. The first time I snowboarded I learned how to turn and stuff. So start SNOWBOARDING!  

My Night - Ice Cream and Movies

by Katie

On Saturday, 4/1/17, I went to eat dinner with Alina. After having dinner, we went to Carvel. We got ice cream. Me and Alina had one scoop. Then they went to our house to watch Arrival. Well, me and Alina watched Camp Rock and Pokemon. Camp Rock is a show about music and singing. The people get to perform singing in front of every camper in the final jam. In Pokemon, Ash catches Caterpie that evolves into Metapod that evolves into Butterflee. A swarm of Beedrills were attacking Ash and Misty. Instead, the Beedrills attacked Metapod. Then we went to sleep. Alina didn’t bring her stuff so we had to loan stuff to Alina. When we woke up, we started practicing our song and dancing The Power Of Brave.

The Process of Making Chocolate

by Xiyan

researched on BrainPop

1. After the beans are harvested, they have to be fermented for about a week
2. Then the beans get dried in the sun for much longer
3. Then the beans that have already been fermented and dried in the sun will get roasted
4. After that, the beans are winnowed
5. Then they get mashed into a gooey liquid that’s called chocolate liquor
6. Then cocoa solids are ground into cocoa powder like the stuff we use to make hot chocolate

How to Make the Usual Chocolate We Eat

1. Most of the recipes start with the baker’s unsweetened chocolate
2. Then you have to add more cocoa butter to be added into the bowl
3. Next, sugar and flavorings are added into the mixture
4. If it was milk chocolate we were making then we would add a lot of milk too
5. The ingredients then get mixed all together in a special process called conching
6. Finally, the conched chocolate is heated then cooled on a very complex process called tempering

Glossary:

Fermented - Dried out for a period of time

Winnowed - De-shelled

Conched - Ingredients getting mixed up in a special mixing process

Tempering - The chocolate is heated and cooled

Amtrak Mystery

by Jack

Amtrak is a very big company. There are many types of trains on the rails, many crashes. But there is one that will baffle investigators for centuries. One night, May 12th 2015, in Philadelphia, a typical late-night northeast regional train was carrying in little bit over 200 passengers. It was going around a curve at a shocking speed: 107 miles per hour. The train curved off the rails and bursted into flames. 2 cars were thrown into the bridge and smashed to pieces. The power car was thrown 2 tracks away from the rest of the train and came to a stop. But no one knows why the train was going 107 miles per hour. The conductor, Brandon Bostian, didn’t remember anything that night. But this is the #1 mystery for Amtrak that they will never figure out why it happened.

The Boston Tea Party

by Xiyan

When it was the night of December 16, 1773. The Sons of Liberty pretended to be some Indians and boarded three ships on the Boston Harbor and they threw 342 chests full of tea into the sea. This is today known as the Boston Tea Party.

The Cause of the Boston Tea Party

The American Revolution had started and the king had just passed out a new law, that everyone had to pay taxes for all the Tea they drank, that’s a LOT of Tea, so on December 16, 1773, some of the true patriots of our country decided to dump 342 chests full of tea into the sea.

The Effect of the Boston Tea Party

When all of the Tea was dumped overboard, the British shut down the Boston Harbor until all of the Tea was all payed for.

The Boston Tea Party was one of the most important and famous acts of the American Revolution.
