Today I found that my topic is printer cartridges since I wasn’t here yesterday.I also learned that my partner is Justin Davis. I just learned that if your printer says that your cartridges are low you don’t have to change it. Also instead of throwing printer cartridges away you can recycle them. November 18,2015 Today I learned that cartridges takes approximately 1,000 years to biodegrade.And that if your cartridges or cartridge is broke you can take it back to the former store they will fix it. I also learned that 70% of used printer cartridges throughout the world are currently being thrown out. November 23,2015 Today we are going to write a paragraph that is combined with our partners paragraphs. We’re also going to learn a few things about the field trip. On the trip we will have to wear hard hats and glasses. November 30,2015 Today I wrote a paragraph and my partner wrote some bullet points.I had to combine our paragraphs to make 1 big paragraph.It was a lot of work but i got it done. December 2,2015 Today we got done with the questions. Im very excited to shoot our new and very own website. To me we came up with pretty good questions.I did two questions and my partner had to do 3 but he agreed on it. December 14,2015 Today we got on our websites. We typed up a paragraph and bullet points. I typed the paragraph and my partner did the rest. i'm done

I learn today that I was working solo.Mr.Tedder told me that I would be doing the history on the Green monkey. I was a little sad. I learned some pretty interesting facts like the character Green Monkey was created by a fifth grader named Tyler Franklin. November 17, 2015 Today I learned that finding history on Green Monkey was going to be harder than I thought. This is the ninth year in a row that students have did work on the Green Monkey project. Today I did some research on the history of Green Monkey. Green Monkey image has changed throughout years. November 18, 2015 Today I was thinking when I was doing research that doing a blog about the history was going to be hard. Then it hit me Green monkey is a website designed to teach the world about recycling. The Green monkey website is also teaching people to conserve energy. So in conclusion the green monkey website is just trying to teach people how to have a green thumb. Green monkey in September 2006 Green monkey was created by mr. man's 5th grade reading class to teach the world how important it is to recycle. Tyler Franklin, Mr. Franklin’s son help create Green Monkey. November 23, 2015 I am so excited today because I found out that we have a field trip tomorrow. Mr. Man came in and explained the things we should do on the field trip. He said that we are going to have to wear a hard and goggles. I am really excited about the field trip. Except that the fact that there can be mice, cats and not so pleasant aroma. I can not wait until tomorrow! Until tomorrow Prince out. November 30, 2015 Today I was a little disappointed because our field trip was canceled because the person that is suppose to guide us was not there,and Mr. Man had to go to the hospital for his daughter. Mr. Man and Mr. Tedder had to reschedule with First Star. Today we are making questions for the fifth graders to answer, and I am doing good so far. I am so excited because today is Cyber monday. The Prince is out. December 3, 2015 Today I was feeling alright a guess. Mr. tedder gave us back our paragraph that I think it will be used as the summary. I am so excited because my class website will be in cyberspace. And I made up five questions for people to an answer. Well I am feeling all sorts of emotions scared worried because what if our class messed up on something . Well it’s only 100/30 chance. until tomorrow the Prince is out. December 14, 2015 I know it’s been a long time since me and everyone in my classroom did our blogs. The Reason being because me and my classmates has been preparing the website for all of you 5th graders to test out I'm pretty sure website will be out for eyes all over the world to see. today we were typing up our history on their subject. And preparing our paragraphs to go on our website and I’m pretty sure our Green Monkey will be the best Green Monkey website ever. THE FRESH PRINCE IS OUT!!!!!!! December 15, 2015 Today I’m kind of rushing to get my blog posting done because I have to type my paragraph for our website. This blog might be the shortest on yet because not much happened today and I have to leave at 3:45 pm. The FRESH PRINCE IS GONE UNTIL TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! November 16,2015
Today we’re starting to learn that our topic is printer cartridges. I just learned my partner is Isaiah Stennis. I just learned that if it your printer says that your cartridges are low you don’t have to change it. Also instead of throwing printer cartridges away you can recycle them. November 17,2015 Today I’m researching about printer cartridges. I’m also doing a paragraph about printer cartridges. Almost 8 printer cartridges get thrown away per second in the United States.70% of of used cartridges throughout the world are currently being thrown away. Every year 300 million cartridges are being thrown away. November 18,2015 Today we’re doing research on our topic. We also have to write a report to write about our topic. Then we have to write 5 facts so I just got that done quickly. Printer cartridges take 1000 years to biodegrade. November 23,2015 Today we are going to write a paragraph of our combined two paragraphs. We also learned about the fieldtrip. How we are going to have hard hard hats,goggles,it’s going to stink,no souvenirs,and to listen. We also have a permission slip that we have to get signed. http://www.earthday.gatech.edu/Printer%20Cartridge%20FACTS.pdf November 30,2015 Today we are combining the two paragraphs from our partner. We also didn’t get to go to the recycling plant. So we are just going to reschedule for another time. Back to the topic we also have to combine our two sets of facts. We also have to make six facts for our website. December 2, 2015 Today we have to come together and make the five questions based off of our paragraph. We got our research papers back. We had to add more to our paragraph. I’m excited that my web site will get published to the world. December 14,2015 Today we are adding our paragraph and our bullet points to our website. We are just one step closer to posting our website and I am so happy! I think that this has been a good experience for me. December 15,2015 Today we are just revising are paragraph and bullet points. I hope that we get picked by Mr.Man to do our expereiment. I think it should be easy. Justin out November 16 2015
Today found out about our project which is using motion/ automatic lights. My partner is Elijah Warren. On green monkey schools I found out by 2020 it will be energy efficient to use automatic lights. Also each year 600 million light bulbs are disposed of into landfills in the United states.Motion sensing lights are best where there is no “traffic “like the garage,bathrooms, stairway, porch,front door,basement,attic {if you have one}, and the laundry room! November 17 2015 Today I did more research on motion sensor lights here is what I found: Motion-sensing lights are great for lighting areas that you only use briefly. Since they only stay on as long as you need, by automatically turning off after a few minutes, they prevent wasted electricity and help save energy resources. In fact, the top sources of energy in the US are fossil fuels, which are harmful to workers, pollute air and contribute to global warming. By conserving energy, you also save the environment from the dangerous effects of fossil fuels! ` November 18 2015 Today we finally get to work with our partners. As I mentioned in my first blog, my partner is Elijah Warren. We talked a lot about the pros and cons of motion sensor lights. Installing indoor motion sensor lights can present you with several unique benefits. However, there are a couple of setbacks with indoor motion sensor lights as well. Here are some of the pros and cons of indoor motion sensor lights.One of the major benefits of indoor motion sensor lights is that they can save you significant quantities of electricity. When you walk into a room and it is night time you won’t have the hassle of trying to locate the switch just in time to stumble or trip on something. Sometimes you want to walk into a room and not have the light come on, but when it is in the middle of the night, for example, sometimes you do not want the light to come on. November 23 2015 Just to recap, our project is about motion sensor lights and the convenience of them. for those of you that don’t know, a motion sensor light is a light that turns on at the “sight” of movement. There are two main benefits to motion sensors in your home: convenience and safety. In the case of a home break in, motion sensor lights may detect criminals who would have otherwise gone unnoticed. motion sensing lights are an effective way to improve your home security without wasting money on a security system. November 30 2015 We were supposed to go on a field trip to First Star Fiber before Thanksgiving break but it was postponed because the tour guide wasn’t there. Mr. Tedder [our teacher] had to take a half day and Mr. Man [our science teacher] had to leave also. But if we still went there would be no tour guide to take us through either so i’m glad that “worked out”. We are supposed to do the question part of the website today so after this blog posting i’m going to do that. December 2 2015 Today we got our papers back today with all of our research and paragraphs! I am very excited on how far we’ve come in the past few weeks! We were supposed to get into groups and work with our partners today but that opportunity was blown because we all talk too much. So we will eventually put up our website questions another day which is disappointing because I was looking forward to that. December 14 2015 Today Elijah and I put up our website questions. We were supposed to do it Friday but Mr. Mansour sent the administrative rights to someone else so we had to wait till today. After that we went with Mr. Man to do our calculations about how many hours of light are used and how many are wasted. We still have a LOT of calculating to do but we’ll figure it out. December 15 2015 Today Elijah and I finally did our calculations on how much light is wasted, conserved, and used from the beginning of the year all the way until now. Not to my surprise, thousands of hours have been wasted, and about 11 hours a day the lights are on. Now as the whole school, most likely over $700,000 have been spent on electricity, now that’s a LOT of money, more than most people make a year. November 16,2015
Hi my name is Hayden and my partner is Keynan. Our Project is vampire loads. Vampire loads is the waste of energy. Also what I learned about the other websites is all of the stuff they did about food, monitors. November 17,2015 Today, Mr Tedder and Mr. Mansour helped us get our research about vampire loads.What I learned about vampire loads is that the typical american home has 20 electrical appliances that bleed consumers of money. That’s because the appliances continue to suck electricity even when they’re off, says a Cornell University energy expert. His studies estimate that these so called “ vampire” appliances cost consumers $3 billion a year--or about $200 per household. November 18,2015 Today Keynan and I researched about vampire loads.I found a lot of facts. Here's what I know, Try to use power strips. Don’t leave chargers plugged in.Vampire loads are scary because home electronics,TV,computers and monitors,DVD players,digital video recorders takes up about 15% of your household electricity. November 23,2015 Today Mr. Man told us about the field trip to the recycling place. Today what I learned on my website is that vampire loads are appliances that continue to draw out energy from electrical socket of some kind of device. November 30,2015 Today in class Mr. Tedder ask us to do about 6 questions.Also we did a paragraph and 4 to 5 bullet points.What I learned for the day is to use power strip to save vampire loads.(not to use vampire loads there bad).My partner wasn’t here so I had to do the questions by myself. The field trip was canceled so it was rescheduled. December 2,2015 Today in class Mr.Tedder handed us our paragraphs and our 5 bullet points.Today we had to do our 5-6 questions.Thats what we did for the day. December 14,2015 Today Keynan and I added our paragraph to our website and bullet points. I hope people would read our website and I they will like it. December 15,2015 Today we had to add some things to our website. Later we will do some things on our website. November 16,2015
Today we got our partners. My partner is Hayden. Hayden and I are going to do great on our project.I think this Green Monkey project is going to be a piece of cake like all my assignments.I did not know that vampire loads add up to $100 to $200 to your annual electric bill. November 17, 2015 Today we researched for my report. I learned that vampire loads use up lots of power. They use up about 120 to 150 watts of electricity.Tomorrow we’ll get to start part ners and combined our facts. November 18, 2015 Today Hayden and I compared each other researched. We finished all our research too.I learned that to be able to stop power strips you got to buy an Advance Power Strip. And not to put so many power cords in the power strip or there will be a fire. Having Hayden as my partner is awesome. November 23,2015 Today we had to combined our research and turn it in as one paper. Tomorrow the class will go on a field trip for the project. And Mr.Mansour explained the rules. December 2, 2015 Yesterday i was not here,so Hayden the rest of the work. He had to make at least five questions for our website. Now that I am back Hayden and I can get back to work. We really didn’t have to do much. All we had to do is fix a spelling mistake, and make five more question for our website. December 14, 2015 Hayden and I assignment today was to put our paragraph and facts on our website. I hope people will love our website, but they are going to love it anyway because me and Hayden are so cute that people can’t say no. December 15, 2015 Our assignment today was to check the website to look for any mistakes. I saw no mistakes so me and Hayden were done. November 16, 2015
Today is Monday and Mr.Tedder paired us up with partners. My partner is Isaiah Forte and we are working on lightbulbs and which ones are the longer lasting ones. I was just on the Green Monkey Blog and I found some very interesting facts that got me thinking that I really wanted to do this. I really like the blog postings and websites about recycling. We won’t be partnering up today but tommorow we will get together and I will already have a headstart on facts. I learned that LED means Light Emidding Diode, they save the most energy. Incandescent light bulbs cost the lowest but use up the most energy. So this is the first blog posting of my website. November 17, 2015 Today is the second day of research and I was really hoping to get with my partner today but we are working separate today. Today we are working on more facts about lightbulbs so I will tell you. LED light bulbs last the longest, save the most energy and cost 20-30 dollars. Also did you know Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb. 1 Common 60w incandescent bulb last about 1,200 hours. 1 LED lightbulb lasts 20 years, That is amazing. November 18, 2015 Today we got into partners and started researching more and more about lightbulbs. We also started sharing facts so we both could get caught up with our information. We looked through many websites, like, http://greenmonkeyschools.weebly.com/lightbulbs.html, and http://www.fplsafetyworld.com/?ver=kkblue&utilid=fplforkids&id=16188 . We still have much learn about light bulbs.Did you know LED Light bulbs save the most energy?.I learned that 1 ICD light bulb last 1,200 hours. I also learned that LED light bulbs are the most energy efficient. November 23, 2015 Today we got permission slips to go to First star Fiber. It sounds like a fun field trip and we are going tomorrow. Also again we are researching lightbulbs and which one cost the most. To recap I will tell some more facts about light bulbs. Did you know thomas edison invented the light bulbs. Also The more the watts the less bulbs you have to use. I will try to keep a lookout of things at the recycling center. I used the sitehttp://www.fplsafetyworld.com/?ver=kkblue&utilid=fplforkids&id=16193. November 30, 2015 Today we got to come up with questions and write our paragraph with bullet points. We might get to have our questions solved by other people. I did not know there were so many facts about light bulbs. Now i know that light bulbs are a huge part of this world it provides light and the ability for us to see, or else the world would have been dark. We didn’t go on any websites today, all we did today was write, write, write and that was actually a good thing because we got caught up on alot of stuff. December 2, 2015 Today we were working on the answer choices for our questions. We both had to write them, after we turned it in we noticed that I accidentally wrote a blog posting instead of a paragraph for our questions, so now we have to re-write them to get a better score. Also we are very excited that we get to make our own website about light bulbs and publish our own questions. December 14, 2015 Today we got called to do our real experiment on light bulbs and we are very excited to be doing it. We first got to try out our 4 main light bulbs we noticed that the CFL light bulb was really taking up a lot of room with light. Then we tried the LED light which blinded us we knew that that would be the best light to use when your house runs out of power. So for now on we will start telling people to use LED because it is very helpful. All the other light bulbs I didn’t mention because those are usually called reading lights. December 15, 2015 We really got caught up on everything because Mr.Man pulled us for our experiment. he helped us with all of our work. Right now we are finalizing our websites so they can be published. We have learned so much about light bulbs and what they can do to give you a brighter world. I hope that people will stop wasting light bulbs so they can be recycled into better things. November 16, 2015
Today we learned our topic. Also who our partners are. My partner is Kevin Newsome. Our topic is which lightbulb is the best to have. That is what we learned today. I looked through the green monkey site and i noticed that there are all types of topics like landfills,trash,food,Ect.. I also learned that there is a lot of work that needs to be done. Did you know that LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, well it does. November 17, 2015 Today I started researching for a paragraph. Mr.Mansour gave me a bunch of websites to help me research. What I learned is that CFLS light bulbs are the cheapest ,but cost the most money. I also learned that Thomas Edison Invented light bulbs. I learned that LED light bulbs are the best to use November 18, 2018 Today we got into partners to research light bulbs. We also shared facts to help each other out. We looked through many websites, like http://greenmonkeyschools.weebly.com/lightbulbs.html, and http://www.fplsafetyworld.com/?ver=kkblue&utilid=fplforkids&id=16188 . We still have much to learn about light bulbs. Did you know that CFLS light bulbs are the cheapest , use the most energy? I learned that 1 ICD light bulb lasts 1,200 hours. I also learned that LED light bulbs last 25,000 hours. November 23, 2015 Today we got a permission slip to go to First Star. We also got together with our partners. Mr. Mansour came in to give us a brief explanation about First Star. We have to write a 8-10 sentence paragraph. We also have to have 5 bullet points. For light bulbs the more th watts the brighter the light. Tomorrow will go on a field trip to First Star. I will keep giving facts about light bulbs. I also will have some facts about First Star. I used the site http://www.fplsafetyworld.com/?ver=kkblue&utilid=fplforkids&id=16188. November 30, 2015 Today we started working on our questions for our web site. We also started and finished our paragraph and 5 bullet points. We learned that working together is a faster way to get work done. Did you know that ICD light bulbs are the 2nd best to use? We didn’t use any websites today. We also didn’t get to go to first star last week because they weren’t prepared. It was a setback for our science work. December 2, 2015 Today we didn’t get to work in partners. We also got our paragraph back. We have to add more to it because we got 7/10. Right now i’m working on my questions for my website. I also have to work on my research paragraph. Me and my partner both have to work on some questions. That is all we have to do today. December 14 , 2015 Today we did our experiment for our light bulbs. Some of the light bulbs were really bright some were really dim. The experiment went awesome. The experiment was fun bcause we got to turn of the lights and look at lights. The dimmest light was the ICD light bulb. Did you know that CFL has the second best light. LED has the best light while using the least power? December 15 , 2015 Today we have to start on another step to finishing our website. Kevin and I are almost finished. All we have to do is finish our chart. when we finish our chart we have to put it on the website. I really want to see what the Green Monkey Schools project is going to look like. I’ll up date on the rest tomorrow. November 16, 2015 Today Mr. Tedder gave us our job we are suppose to research on. My partner is Jakhi and myself. Today we saw Green Monkey Vlogs and I learned more things. Me and Jakhi are learning about the percentages who recycle.
