What grade do I deserve?

I think the grade I deserve is in the range from a 90 to a 95. I think I deserve a grade in between then because I try my best and hardest on the blogs. I pay attention in class, so when I do the blogs I know my information. My spelling and grammer is also good. I do a spell check every time when I finish a blog. I think I do really well on my blogs. I wouldn't say I need a low grade, but I know I don't deserve a hundred because I'm not perfect on the blogs. I do try my hardest though, so I think I deserve a really good grade.

What is my favorite of the four Earth Sciences? Why?



My favorite of the four earth sciences is geology. It's my favorite because it deals with everything around me. I have to walk on the land, I get to touch animals and so on. I also like geology because I think it's easier to learn.
