Trip to Rome you know that the fountain was built from the same material as the Colosseum? In and the Italian Countryside addition, it has been featured in multiple movies and has even been replicated at By: Chloe Muller, Gr. 5 Epcot in Disney World! But, many horrible things have happened to the fountain. In In 2017, I went to Italy with my mother.

I visited caused the water that fell from the fountain many historical and cultural sites, such as to also be red, since the fountain used a Vatican City, which is the smallest country closed circuit water system. Many feared in the world. It is located in a capital of a that the red liquid combined with the water country. It was worth it to take a guided tour would permanently damage the monument, and learn a lot of new information. I so the water inside the fountain was quickly enjoyed beautiful pieces of art from several drained. Thankfully, there is no damage famous sculptors and painters such as shown today. Michelangelo.

He raided coins from the fountain for 34 years until he was caught in the summer of 2002.

The Colosseum was the place that hosted Gladiator fights. The men fought with each other, as well as animals. They were injured and even killed in the fights. It was a very dangerous activity, but paid well if gladiators were free men and fought well. Sadly, this was done for entertainment and it was as cruel as it sounds. The last known gladiatorial fight in Rome was on January 1, We also traveled to the Italian Countryside, 404 A.D. and had the world’s best gelato, in a small village called Sulmona.

A doctor, an elementary school, a bakery, a butcher shop, narrow, curvy cobblestone streets, and lots of smiling, curious faces. The nearest grocery store is a few miles away, but the village is nice and quiet. The majority of the villagers do not speak English though.

There are the main course which we would eat a roughly 300 different types of Italian pasta. variety of foods ranging from beef to Here’s a fun fact: Pasta is actually not seafood, salad to cheese. Finally, for created by Italians, it was created by the dessert we would eat tiramisu. It is a coffee- Chinese. The only difference between flavored dessert made of ladyfingers soaked Italian pasta and Chinese noodles is that in coffee, layered with a mixture of eggs, pasta is created when wheat flour is mixed sugar, and mascarpone cheese, flavored with water.

PIXEL ART- Kirby

By: Riley Kozlowski, Gr. 6

For my pixel art, I did different power ups for Kirby. The power ups I created were normal, ice, sword, boomerang, and sleep. There were only a few power ups in Kirby’s Dreamland, but later Kirby got a lot of different power up. A few examples of newer ones are ninja, disco, and yo-yo. The reason I did this is because I love Nintendo games and one of their main series, Kirby.

But really, its release in 1993 or what the default looking back on it, Windows 1.0 was barely browser was. Most of it contains programs even user friendly. like Cat Explorer, which focused on loading high-quality images and vector-formatted text, which you could zoom into without it Windows 1.0 was nowhere near user losing its quality. friendly.

There is Windows 98 was the best out of them all. DOC and TXT, which are about the same: but DOC files would soon become Microsoft Office. In 2001, we were introduced to Windows XP. There is a screenshot load of Windows XP you can run clicking here. It ran away from the MS-DOS kind of scripting and allowed them to create imagery within a kernel: It’s just like a popcorn kernel! When it pops, or released to developers to build on, they start adding heat and flavor to the popcorn kernel. Eventually, it finishes popping and is released. Then, you add extras like buttery security updates and a pinch of e-mail programs.

After that, not much is publicly known. There’s only about six paragraphs of the history between Windows 2.x and 3.x as well as the OS/2 format.

Windows 95 was developed after that. Windows was about to get its name. Again, there is a Windows 95 website you can run here. Windows 95 allowed for minimizing, which lets you pause and work on something. This was also the first 32-bit system. Bits mean that 1-bit lets you use 2 characters: 0 & 1.
