Weeks 34-35

This week we learned about the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, and Moldova in Geography. In history we learned about one of the emperors of the Manchu dynasty who really wanted to compile all of the great books of China so more people could be knowledgable of the science and literature, etc.  He compiled 36,000 volumes of what was considered to be the best of China's writings. He had 7 copies made so they could be in different libraries around China. He also worked to actively suppress/destroy any negative writings about the Manchu dynasty, since they were still unpopular among a lot of people since they were seen as outsiders who invaded and took over. 

We came up with some prompts for ChatGPT this week. It was really interesting to see what we could get. We had it write poems of various types. We also got access to Google's Bard this week. We haven't played around with it as much yet but so far it's poems are much worse than ChatGPT's. 

Max: This week one of my songs was In the Hall of the Mountain King. It was pretty simple to learn because the left hand is simple, but it is a really fun one to play. I read issue 100 this week in the Ultimate Spider-Man comic series. I passed where my mom had read to when she was reading this series. In math I am working on mixed numbers and converting them to improper fractions and also vice versa.

Mali: I am still reading the Ricky Ricotta book 1. I only have a couple chapters left. In Math I am working on decimals, well I was but I finished that section. I made an animation this week and also recorded and editing a video of me getting my room cleaned up.
