Posted in Show and Tell Friday

I did Show and Tell (hosted by CanadaGirl) twice. I don't think I'm going to be doing that anymore. It's not that I don't like S&T. I love it! I think it's a great idea. I think it's a great way to meet new friends. But the problem for me is that I can't think of much of anything to show and tell about. I don't have that many things that are special to me. I can't think of many things to post about. Of course, now that I just said that, I'm going to be getting all kinds of ideas.  So maybe I will do S&T in the future, and maybe not. It all depends.

Here is my S&T:

That is my gigantic teddy bear I got for my fourth birthday, with a ruler leaned up against him to show how big he really is! This bear sits up on the top of the bookcase in my room, gathering dust.  He always has been a little bit too big to sleep with, anyway!  Recently, though, my sister Amy put her alligator up there with him, so he will not be so lonely, LOL! I used to pretend that this bear was my husband sometimes when I played house (well, hey, I don't have any brothers!), and I remember at least once having one of my dolls get married to him.

I hope you enjoyed my show and tell this week. If you would like to join in the fun, go over to CanadaGirl's blog.

I have seen a lot of people doing Show and Tell Friday, and I finally decided to give it a try myself (oooooh, scary!!!). I don't know if I will do this every week or not, but I will today.

My show and tell is much different than everyone else's, I'm sure! Here's the picture:

 

"What in the world?" you ask. Just hold on -- I will explain. For computer programming in school I am doing doing Computer Science Pure and Simple. There are two books. Right now I am still in Book 1. You use MicroWorlds Logo Software, which is a computer program designed to teach kids computer programing. You learn simple commands like "forward", "back", "right", "left", and so-on, that you can use to create programs with.

The picture that I showed is an assignment. One of the lessons in the book is to design and build a skyscraper using the software. It took me a while, but I did it! You can't see it in the picture, but I also had a button you could click on to make it draw the skyscraper. Programming can be very fun, but it is also very crucial to get everything perfect. If I would have missed ONE command on the skycraper pictured above, it would look very different. Or there might not be a skycraper at all!
