Exploring Mars

        The good news keeps coming in. On Sunday at 12:05 A.M. Opportunity,the second of two exploring robot rovers landed on Mars. NASA has been working hard to make the Mars mission a success and it seems to be paying off. Scientist soon recieved data and photographic images of Mars' landscape and setting soon to scientist 106 million miles away on Earth. Scientist believe that if they find areas where there was once water on the planet, they also find evidence of past life on Mars. Some scientists think that the now cold and dry Mars, could have been warm and wet enough to have supported life. Earth, a day lasts 24 hours. On Mars a day lasts 24 hours 39 minutes and 35 seconds. Every 36 days on Earth, Mars time falls 24 hours, or one Earth day behind. The mission the Mars had cost about $820 million. Can you imagine $820 million dollars? Would you like to know if there was once life in Mars?

Mrs.Davis' Post

     Hello! Here I am again.Today when we got to class Mrs.Davis read us the letter she wrote to the group "Think Possibilities." It was a very neat letter. Mr.Richardson also sent a letter with some tips of what he thinks blogging is. I will write them down......

#1. Find and read material that is relevant to your life.

#2. Capture the essence of this relevant reading, give credict to its source, and synthesize those ideas into piece of writing that advances a personal, perhaps greater understanding of that topic.

#3. Publish that writing for response and for perhaps pushing someone else's thinking on the subject.

#4. Read some more.

     I think that those tips were great. I hope many more people write their ideas about what they think blogging is and many more! I really like that someone wrote their ideas to us. Having a weblog gives me a place to put my writing. If someone read my writing and talked about it, I would feel proud. I think I need to read a lot of interesting books, magazines and look for words in the dictionary. I like writing bcause I can express myself.
