Challenge: Dog Washing Machine

Invent a new way to wash dogs without getting your hands dirty.

Maybe you could use:

- robots
- pull switch hoses
- flexible poles

Draw a picture and write a short paragraph of writing about it.

For example:

My dog washer has a hose with three compartments in it. One is for soap, one is for water and one holds air. There are also three buttons, one says soap, one says water and one says dryer. You push what you want and hold the trigger, and wash the spot! This is my hose.

Challenge: Bird Table

Design and custom build a bird table for any bird.

Consider:
The weight of the bird
Food storage
Shelter.

Then, once you have designed the table write a short paragraph about the table.

For example:

My table has a flat board with four poles. These poles help hold the triangular prism shaped roof up. The roof has two windows on either side, for light and shelter. On the flat board I have made a box for food storage and shelter. This is my bird table.

Achy Breaky Heart

You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes when I'm gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone

You can tell my arms to go back onto the phone
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lilps to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more

But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff who's fist can tell my lips
He never really liked me anyway

Oh tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Myself already knows that I'm okay
Oh you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me today

But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy.

Young man, there's a place you can go.
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough.
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...

And just go there, to the y.m.c.a.

Young man, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was down and out with the blues.
I felt no man cared if I were alive.
I felt the whole world was so tight ...

That's when someone came up to me,
And said, young man, take a walk up the street.
There's a place there called the y.m.c.a.
They can start you back on your way.

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
