ELC

Our class went on a week long vacation to Finland, Mn. We went to a place called Wolf Ridge ELC ( Environmental learning center ).  It was 3 or so miles away from lake Superior and the camp was in the middle of a forest with wildlife all around. Some classes we took there were Stream Study, Beaver study, Climate change, Small mammals, Superior  view hike and competitive orienteering, ropes course and rock climbing. Some of the classes may sound boring, but the weren't. The teachers there were really great and during all the classes we went outside to do something fun.

Copyright

In class we had learned about what photos you can copy and how to do it legally. We learned that you had to give credit to the one who made it as so.

Court

The health care reform is now up to the supreme court on having to have health care by 2014. The courts decision to repeal this Reform will have major impacts on the presidential election.

Spending Money

Money is used in so many ways. It can be used for groceries, computers, games and even to get out of jail. Some of the ways I use money is by buying games or for subway or McDonalds when i'm eating on the way home from a trip. Money is always hard to save for me, but ways that I can save is by buying less at fast food restaurants
