nascarloverover 7 yearsI like This Movie a lot!- Mrs. Banksalmost 8 yearsMy favorite part of the movie was near the end when they were attempting to drive the truck with all the fish in it to escape from being sent to an aquarium in another part of the country.

Strawberry Moon-Did you see it?Friday, June 24, 2016 at 7:48 am

Summer Solstice And Strawberry Moon Make For A Perfect Day!
Today, June 20, happens to be the first day of summer or summer “solstice.” Derived from the Latin words “sol” for “sun” and “sisto” for “stop,” it is the day when the North Pole is most inclined towards the sun. As a result, residents of the Northern Hemisphere enjoy the longest day of the year. The opposite, of course, is true for the residents of the Southern Hemisphere who will experience the shortest day of the year. What makes today’s summer solstice even more unique is that for the first time in many years, it coincides with a full moon.- nascarloveralmost 8 yearsI love the look of the moon!

SkinTrack Technology Transforms Your Arm Into A Smartwatch Touchpad
Controlling and interacting with content on a smartphone or tablet is a relatively easy task given their large screens. However, the same is not true for smartwatches which are proving to be more of a fashion statement than a piece of useful technology. Now a group of researchers from the Human-Computer Interaction Institute’s Future Interfaces Group (HCII) at Carnegie Mellon University is trying to change that with an invention that transforms the arm into a touchpad.

BEST reads ever! (See my two below!)Wednesday, June 1, 2016 at 1:18 pm
Mrs. BanksPlease choose your 5 favorite books and write a review for each one. Make sure that you include a quick summary of the book and why you liked it. Remember that this is going to help guide others as to whether or not they like the book so be very detailed in your description. It might also be a nice touch to describe what genre the book is to attract readers to their favorite types of books.
