Spanish - He is angry

We just learned that in Spanish I am happy is Estoy feliz and you are sad is Estás triste in Spanish.

Now let's learn how to say He is angry. (Or she)

We can break it up into the three words:
He - Él - sounds like ay-l /?/
She - Ella - sounds like ay-ah/?/
is - está - sounds like ay-ss-tah /?/
angry - enojado - Sounds like ay-no-ha-doh /?/


All together Él está enojado sounds like ay-l ay-ss-tah ay-no-ha-doh.

Basalt

We just learned that marble is a type of metamorphic rock.

Basalt is a type of igneous rock, that means it comes from lava.

If you look at a basalt rock, sometimes you can see lines on the rock and that is the direction that the lava was flowing before it cooled down and turned into rock.

Suni

We just learned about the Springbok type of antelope.
Not all types of antelopes are large, some are very small.

The Suni is only about 12 inches tall, and weighs about 10 pounds.
That's about the size of a house cat!

Because they are so small, they only eat plants, and they have to watch out for bigger animals like lions that might eat them!

Bronchioles

Let's keep learning about the respiratory system!

We now that the lungs are where you store air you breathe in, the trachea is the big tube in your throat that carries air down toward your lungs, and the bronchi are the tubes that go left and right to each of your lungs.

When the air gets to the end of your bronchi, it gets to your bronchioles.

You can almost think of it like a tree. The trachea is the trunk, the bronchi are two big branches, and the bronchioles are a whole bunch of smaller branches.

Jesus' Miracles - Healing in the land of Gennesaret

Full Moon

We just learned a little about the Lunar Eclipse.

A full moon happens about once every 29 days.
Since there are 28, 30 or 31 days in each month we usually see a full moon once every month.

The full moon happens because the sun is shining right on the part of the moon that we can see.
Sometimes the sun is shining on a different side of the moon that is not facing us, and we would not see the full moon.
