C4K November

On Nov 6 C4K #10 I commented on Mr McClung's Class on Oct 26th in Berlin. The classes discussion on there social studies class was...the effects of the conference of Berlin that would ultimately decide what portions of Africa would belong to whom in Europe. In class we talked quite a bit about how the balanced relationship between Africa and Europe became so imbalanced over time. On Thursday we will discuss what happens next in the story of Africa after it was cut up and divided up.

Hi my name is Vicki Nelson I am a student in EDM310 at the University of South Alabama. I was reading your post on the conference of Berlin and the decisions that need to be made on Africa. I was wondering if you could elaborate a little bit about the imbalance that you were talking about Africa and Europe. I haven’t been keeping up with it and I wrought you could collaborate on it some. I will see if I can some back a check to see what happens after Africa was cut up and divided in to two.

On Nov 13 C4K #11 I commented on Mrs.Yollis' 365 Project 293 I Love Nuts! What she had written on her post was I really enjoy eating nuts like walnuts, almonds, and peanuts. When I cracked open this walnut, I was surprised to find my favorite shape...a heart!

Do you enjoy nuts?

How are walnuts harvested?

Dear Mrs. Yollis,

My name is Vicki Nelson and I am a student in EDM310 at the University of South Alabama. I love nuts! My favorite kind of nut is almonds! I enjoyed the picture you took of the walnut. It is unbelievable that you actually cracked it open and it turned out looking like a heart. That is really unbelievable. You had asked the question, "How are walnuts harvested?" What I had found out was that you harvest walnuts in the early fall from September to October. Knock the hulls from the trees once the shells are full, or gather them off the ground as soon as they fall. Remove the hulls using gloves. Then rinse with water to remove tannin. Spread the shells in the sun to dry for two to three weeks. And that is the process on how to harvest walnuts. I really enjoyed your picture and have enjoyed looking over your blog. You have some wonderful children and I hope that I become a wonderful teacher like you one day in the future.

On Nov 16th C4K #12 I commented on Billy B W @ PT England School. On My Holiday Story post. And this is what he had to say..In the holidays I went to Coromandel and when I got there I went for a swim with my cousins. It was cold like an ice cube and when we got out me and my cousin were cold and I stall jumped in. We went to the creek and it was cold. When it was my cousin birthday it was cool.

Billy my name is Vicki Nelson I am a student in EDM310 at the University of South Alabama. That is in the United States. I see from your post that you are from New Zealand. And you and said in your post that during thst holidays that you went to Coromandel is that in New Zealand. Is the water always cold there or just some ties during the year. I have some property on the river and the part of the river that I live on it is cold all year long because it has springs that flow threw it. I like the picture that you drew it is very pretty. However I noticed that you had black clouds in the sky was that because it was fixing to rain is that why the water was cold. I am just trying to figure out the story to your picture. I have never been to New Zealand. But maybe one day I will be able too. I would love to go visit. I love to visit other states. Well it was nice talking to you. I will talk to you later.
