Today we discovered:
1. North America has a population of 538,000,000 people. (How does that compare with the other continents? Hmmm.....)
2. North America is the third largest continent. Asia is the largest, and Africa is larger than North America. (Hmmm...I wonder how big North America is in square feet?)
3. Coast redwoods are the tallest living tree. (I wonder exactly how tall? Hmmm....)
4. Sequoia trees only grow on the western side of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. They can live for over 2,000 years! (Hmmm.... What was the name of that famous one...General...? Why was that sequoia so famous?)

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI learned that a Redwood tree can grow up to 200 to 300 feet tall! That's amazing! From the World Book Student, I also learned California has more people than any other state in the United States. I love using the World Book Student. Do you like using World Book Student?
Your student,
Nick
@ Nick,
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your enthusiasm for writing!
Wow! Our state has the largest population compared to the others! What is the population of California?
Thanks for the fact about the redwood tree. (Remember, trees and flowers and plants and animals are not capitalized. I know...odd.
They are common nouns.
However, if there is a proper noun in the name...that word gets capitalized.
Example: Douglas fir (Douglas is a proper noun, so it gets capitalized.)
You asked me if I like the World Book. Absolutely! I love to learn new things and this is the perfect tool.
I can't wait to see what other fun facts we get!
Your teacher,
Mrs. Yollis
:-)
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI just found out that the population of California is 33,871,648 people. That's a huge number. Texas is the second most populated with 24,782,302 people. What do you think the third most populated state is?
Your student,

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteWhen I was on World Book Web I looked up the Stanley Cup and found many facts I didn't know. The Stanley Cup is named after Baron Stanley, but he didn't buy the cup. The governor general of Canada donated the cup to the NHL.(National Hockey League) Each year the cup gets bigger and bigger because whenever a team wins, a circle with all the players and the coaches names gets engraved on it. Then the circle is put on the cup. The cup is 32 pounds and 14.5 kilograms. It is 35 1/4 inches high.
Also I found the lyrics for the Canadian National Anthem. It is called O Canada.
O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada! Terre de nos aieux,
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux!
Car ton bras sait porter l'epee,
Il sait porter la croix!
Ton histoire est une epopee
Des plus brillants exploits.
Et ta valeur, de foi trempee,
Protegera nos foyers et nos droits,
Protegera nos foyers et nos droits.
It's a lot of fun using World Book Web!

Ben
Dear Mrs. Yollis' class,
ReplyDeleteI am a student in Mrs. Lofton's seventh grade class. I really enjoyed reading and looking at your blog! I learned from an encyclopedia online that Australia is the smallest continent and its capitol is Canberra. Also, I learned that Australia's largest city is Sydney. I love learning interesting facts and I hope you all do too! My favorite part of learning new facts is being able to share them with my family, friends, and other students in my class! What is your favorite part?
Sincerely,
Nicole
@ Nick,
ReplyDeleteCalifornia's population is 33,871,648 people! Wow! That number rounds to 34 million! Double-Wow!
Great fact, Nick!
@ Ben,
I love that you learned new facts about your favorite hobby, hockey. I didn't realize that the cup gets bigger each year. That is an interesting tradition.
With the Olympics being hosted by Canada, their national anthem will be heard at the opening ceremony. Thanks for sharing the words!
Your friend,
Mrs. Yollis
@ Nicole,
ReplyDeleteFabulous first comment! :-) Mrs. Lofton's class is filled with fantastic writers!
I also love that you shared a fact from the encyclopedia! Does you middle school have the World Book online? Or, did you use your own encyclopedia? What made you choose Australia? Have you ever been there? Our good blogging buddies are from Australia.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a comment. We love that!

ReplyDeleteI love to eat ham. So I looked up the history of ham on the World Book Web. I never knew that ham came from the back of a hog's hind leg. Do you know any interesting facts about ham? I think I will have it for lunch tomorrow.
Your Student,

@ Sydney,
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great comment about one of our national symbols, Uncle Sam.
After your comment, I started thinking about other U.S. symbols and I looked up the bald eagle. I noticed in the sidebar on the left that there are sound clips and videos. I clicked on the bald eagle video clip and got to watch our national bird soar! What a wingspan!

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteYes, I did learn something new, and it was about grapefruit. I learned that people around the world eat grapefruit for breakfast with tart(having sharp taste).It was really shocking when I read that! I also learned that our country produces fourty percent of the world's grapefruit. The fruit was being shipped throughout the United States by the 1900s. Did you know any of the facts I found out? If so, which one?
Sincerely,
Kayla :)
Dear Mrs Yollis,
ReplyDeleteWhen I was on World Book Web I looked up China. It was surprising to find out that 90% of China’s population lives on the eastern half of the country. Also, did you know that most people in China live in rural villages, but not the people who live in Beijing and Shanghai. Beijing and Shanghai are two of the world’s largest cities.
Your friend,
Ben
@ Kayla,
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting topic you have chosen! I enjoy drinking grapefruit juice, but I don’t like eating them. The word tart is used to describe the taste. It means that a grapefruit has a sharp taste. I did know that the U.S. produces a lot of grapefruits (forty percent), but in my research I discovered that Florida produces about 80% of the U.S.’s crop. Interesting! Do you enjoy eating this citrus fruit? (Five minutes of free-time for you on my website!)
@ Ben,
Thanks for another research comment! I will now owe you ten minutes of free-time on my website!
China is an interesting topic to research. No, I did not know that 90% of the population lives on the eastern half of the nation. In the World Book Encyclopedia, it said that China has 1 1/3 billion people. What does that mean? How many zeroes is that?
The Chinese invented the compass and paper which is another interesting thing to think about!
Thanks again for being such a great researcher!
Yours truly,

Dear Mrs. Yollis,

All these facts are so awesome! Don't you think?

ReplyDeleteI studied polar bears, and they live on frozen sea on Norway, Alaska,, Canada, Greenland, and Russia. Adult males are 6.5 to 8.5 feet tall, and some weigh over 1,300 pounds! Female polar bears measure to 6.5 feet tall, and weigh 330 to 550 pounds. Polar bears can smell seal dens on top of thick ice and snow.
I also studied grizzly bears which mostly live in Alaska and Western Canada, and very little live in Idaho, Wyoming, Washington, and Montana. Adult grizzly bears all are 6 to 8 feet. Adult males are 400 to 600 pounds, and adult females weigh 250 to 400 pounds. Grizzly bears are sometimes called silvertips because they have white and gray tips on there fur.
Another noun I studied is Cuba which is the most enormous and one of the overall beautiful island in Western Indies. High mountains and rolling hills cover one-third of Cuba, and this gorgious island also has fasinating colorful coral reefs.
Last but not least I studied Haiti and covers one-third of Hispanola that is named after an Indian word that means high ground. Haiti's capital is Port-au-Prince.

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteOn World Book Web, I looked up hawks and I would like to share some of the information I found. Hawks are related to vultures and eagles. Male and female hawks raise their babies together. Hawks eat little animals, reptiles, insects, fish, and other birds. When a hawk seeks its prey it swoops down like a bullet and grabs it. That's really fast! Some hawks eat their prey whole, then spit up pellets, small balls, of bones, feathers, fur. Hawks build their nest in trees, cliffs, or even on the ground. The female hawk lays one to three eggs, then she keeps the eggs warm and the male hawk brings food to the female until the eggs hatch. Every year, some hawks migrate to warmer places. sometimes, only the young hawks migrate on their own. Some hawks migrate in flocks or a group or some hawks migrate independent. Most hawks live in North America, and the most common type of hawk is the red-tailed hawk. The red-tailed hawk lives in countries, but mostly in woodlands. The northern harrier and the goshawk live throughout the northern hemi-sphere. Those were the facts I wanted you to know.
