WHAT I LIKE ABOUT HOME SCHOOL!

I like being home schooled because I can learn so much better. I like home school because I can stop and ask mom what does that means. I like home school because I can learn more. I like it because I learn grammar, math, reading, writing, work shop, how to fix things, cooking, how to talk to people, engineering, and much more.

I like it because I have a great mom and dad who teach me new things and they are trying to make the best for me. I like it because its is so much fun. I like to thank them for helping me being the best I can be.

Thank you mom and dad  ....... Love Tarrik

TANKER CREATION FOR BASE STATION

My Lego Starwars Tanker

Sitting in my lego room I starred at six tires on an older lego design and the idea for a new creation began to formulate in the corners of my mind. Without a game plan, and only a vague idea of what was to develop I started visualizing a new Starwars tanker for my lego station.

Reaching down I removed the tires from the truck and reassembled them on the base of my newly developing tanker.  Next, I started searching for lego parts that would formulate the base to stabalize my new tanker design. Through trial and error a new heavy duty cannon that had the ability to spin 360 degrees was assembled on a 4x8 flat to allow for a gunner seat. The seat would allow the clone gunner to shoot in all directions.

Next, I began looking around for pieces that would allow for a upwards and downwards movement of the cannon. This along with the ability to move forwards and backwards gave the tank the agility to protect the base for all incoming attacks.

Knowing it needed the ability to shoot in daylight or night, lights were added. I love the new addition to my Starwars lego base station. Designing new creations gives me a feeling of accomplishment and joy. Here's until we meet again.

MY FIRST FLAT TIRE - FUNNNNNNNNNNNN

Working at the Desert Rose Inn

Yesterday afternoon my father and I were remodeling the floor at the hotel lobby. When a elderly women came in and told us that she has a flat.

I went to the work shop to gather some bolts and a socket wrench. After getting the neccessary tools, I walked to her and asked her if she wanted me to do it. and she said yes!

I walked to the horsetrailer and removed the blots from the tire. than she asked me what is my name?" I told her that my name is Tarrik Tumeh." I asked what was her name "she told me my name is melissa." We shook hands and i continued to removeing the bolts. when takeing off all the bolts off I put a brand new tire andput the bolts back on the tire.

She tried to pay me, I said" I did that to be nice.'' She said that is very nice of you to do that. I said no problem! I'm glad to help! She got in the truck and drove out of the hotel parking lot.

It was a good way for the day to end.

BLUFF WHIPPER SNAPPERS @ MOAB PUMPKIN CHUCKIN FESTIVAL

BUILDING A TREBUCHET

Building these simple machines introduces fundamentals of math and physics using levers, force, torsion, tension, and traction. You can find instructions and diagrams on how to build authentic working model catapults.  Additional projects include learning how to lash and make rope and how to construct and use a hand sling and a staff sling. The colorful history of siege warfare is explored through the stories of Alexander the Great and his battle of Tyre; Saladin, Richard the Lionheart, and the Third Crusade; pirate-turned-soldier John Crabbe and his ship-mounted catapults; and Edward I of England and his battle against the Scots at Stirling Castle.
