  1. Good post, Summer. Your post was very detailed and told us all the answers to the questions, but you still could have posted a video to go with them. You could have also shown your work for number 11. Otherwise, a great post.

  7. Nice posts Summer! I really liked the way you used the colour to highlight the important facts. One thing you could have done differently is for # 19 you just put the answer next time you do a post you should show how you got it because that could really help some kids. but keep up the good work.
