The weather has seriosly improved. In my neighborhood, people are strolling to the park. Some are wandering in short sleeve shirts. It's almost like summer.

Hi everyone!
I am doing an oral report for the Gifted and Talented program about penicillin and the man who discovered it, Alexander Fleming. Fleming was a genius. Penicillin is a medicine that is VERY popular and has saved millions of lives. Fleming was born on a Scottish farm and was the seventh of eight children. As a young boy, he walked 4 MILES to school and received good education. He worked and studied bacteriology at the Inoculation Department. Then, in 1928, he accidently left his window of his lab open when going on vacation and right next to it, his petri dish. When he came back, he discovered mold spores and a strange fuzzy blue mold growing on the dish that had dissolved some harmful bacteria on it. The mold was called penicillium , and you can probably imagine what happened after that.
Alexander changed the way we look at medicine today!

Hey guys!
The Seattle Seahawks won the 2014 Super Bowl! I was expecting the Denver Broncos to win , honestly. I always think of sports as a good way to physically exercise. I used to play on the Woodbridge Soccer League. It really helped me build strength and I experienced playing on an actual sports team! Having good sportsmanship is also very important, and you should play by the rules. Football, soccer, swimming, baseball- whatever sports you chose to play, it requires teamwork!
