Spelling Lesson 31:Proofreading

Proofreading

When light passes through a glass prism, it is bent, or refracted. Light of one specific wavelength, however, bends at one specific angle. Sunlight has a number of wavelengths, so when it passes through a prism, it separates into many angles. Forming a vivid band of colors. A rainbow is an arc of color that appears in the sky when sunlight passes through raindrops that act as a prism. Rainbows may look like physical objects you can touch, but they are an illusion - a temporary, if spectacular display of the sun's light. Trying to find the spot where a rainbow ends will forever elude those who search for it.

Gilligan! Also known as Gilwey! He's so cayute, I wish I would've taken a cuter picture of him though. :c

Anyway, he's such a barkleruffer, but Jakey loves Gilligan, he's in the other room watching Sesame Street. But when he isn't watching t.v. he's usually in there playing with his HUUUGE train-set, which has a ton of cars and is on a table that's just the right size for Jake and has a train track on it. See that orange and green table behind Gilligan with the stuff on it? That's Jake's train set.

This is a picture of our new computer set-up, Hannah's computer is on the right and mine on the left. I get the pen tablet~ IN YO FAYCE XD JKJKJK It's because I like using the tablet better than the mouse.
