Do you have dark bunny vs. Dr. Origami in 3d . kids talking excitedly mr. Ratburn class. Before we start using the smartboard, i must read the instruction manual. Which, um, might take some time. If you like, i can stay after class and help you go through it. Thank you, alan, but i think i can manage. See you after class. beeping whirring beeping brain well, thats it, weve gone through the whole manual. It says here, pseudometa corp. Guarantees that hugo is 100 accurate. How is that possible . I mean, nothing is 100 accurate. Normally id agree with you, alan. But ive never seen anything like hugo. He really is amazing. Thank you, nigel. Youre welcome, hugo. Today well learn about the early history of our very own elwood city. Does anybody know what it used to be in prehistoric times . Oh a landing pad for aliens . hugo buzzes im sorry, that is incorrect. Elwood city was a swamp. Mr. Ratburn now its a bustling town. But what was it that spurred its growth . Anyone . beeping hugo . The growth of the logging industry was what drove the development of elwood city. Thats right. When the first steampowered sawmill was built here, elwood city was catapulted into the industrial age. And the man who had this sawmill built was none other than our founder, jacob katzenellenbogan. Im sorry. That is incorrect. students gasp i beg your pardon . You said that the man responsible for building the first Steam Powered sawmill in elwood city was jacob katzenellenbogan. buzzing that iincorrect. No, it isnt. Im quite sure, hugo. Perhaps you do not know what the word incorrect means. students muttering synonyms are mistaken, faulty, wrong. Yes, yes, i know what the word incorrect means. The man who had the first steampowered sawmill built in elwood city was named francis wheaton, known as wheaty to his friends. Was born in 1866. Thats enough, hugo. I guess ill just have to take your word for it. That is an excellent choice, nigel, given the fact that im 100 accurate. Mr. Ratburn wrong . I cant believe it neither can i. Hows the testing on the hugo 3. 0 coming . Heres the latest error report. Hmm, missed a few dates, some facts. 98 accurate is good enough. Well call it 100 . beeping but that would be a lie, dave. Whos going to care about a little two percent . People who go to libraries . If our Marketing Strategy is right, hugo will replace libraries. laughing gasps brain i tried researching early elwood city history on the internet, but there wasnt a lot of information. Some things can still only be found in books. Here. Elwood city past, present and future. Brain the opening of the first steampowered sawmill was reported by the elwood city gazette. Aha elwood city gazette. Spring 1902. The equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are. . Arthur . Of equal length . Correct. And just for fun, can anyone tell me what asian country has an equilateral triangle on its flag . Yes, well, it is a toughie. How about you, hugo . Are you stumped as well . The equilateral triangle is featured in the flag of the philippines. Hmm. Thats correct. Ability. Ability. Mr. Ratburn excellent, francine. You might consider entering this years spelling bee. Speaking of which. Hugo, what was the winning word in last Years National spelling bee . Cymotrichous. Cymotrichous. It means having wavy hair. Shall i put it in a sentence . No, no, that wont be necessary. Lets move on. What is the largest painting in the world . Mother earth by swedish artist david aberg. What is the smallest . Fish, by j sha.

The tidnit. tidnit playing sighs very good, hugo. Thank you, nigel. Hugos amazing i cant believe it whoa, hes the best yes, here it is. Elwood city gazette, 1902. You should find what youre looking for in here. Thanks. Its just wonderful to see someone researching the oldfashioned way. Aha ill bet you didnt know that, did you, hugo . Ive got him where i want him crazed laughter good morning, everyone. Today we will start with a pop quiz. students groaning not to worry, its just for hugo. Theres only one question, and it concerns the subject of. Puppetry. In the traditional turkish shadow puppet plays of the ottoman period, there were two main puppets. One was named karagoz. What was the name of the other one . beeping hugo doesnt know mr. Ratburn finally stumped him. Hacivat. The name of the other puppet was hacivat. cheering chair moves well, hugo, i guess. You win. Brain wait you were right the man responsible for building the first steampowered sawmill in elwood city was jacob katzenellenbogan but hugo said. I found a copy of the elwood city gazette from the day the sawmill opened. Here it clearly states that jacob katzenellenbogan was the owner and man behind the project. But in the caption, it misidentifies francis wheaton, the architect, as the owner. Thats probably why hugo made the mistake. hugo beeps that is incorrect, alan. I am not capable of making mistakes. I thought you might say that. Thats why i looked for jacobs last living descendant. Hugo, meet alfred katzenellenbogan. Heres a document that proves my greatuncle was the man who had that mill built. That man must not be alfred katzenellenbogan. What . take it back, flatface its all right. I can handle this. Hugo, im afraid its time to admit that you are not 100 accurate. Lets discuss this calmly, nigel, but i can give you my complete assurance that im. rapid beeping hands on user gringle onschmoopy. I seem to be getting slow. Er. Daisy, daisy, give me your answer. Oh. Goodbye, nigel. explosion students cheering mr. Ratburn won mr. Ratburn class, class, its not as if it were a competition. Mr. Katzenellenbogan, would you share some of your memories of early elwood city with us . Id be delighted. Once, my greatuncle took me on a tour of that sawmill. The noise was so loud i stuck cotton in my ears. And now. My name is jaden, and this is my thirdgrade class. And thats our teacher, miss jones, and this is our Interactive Whiteboard. Its connected to the computer. I dont like when the whiteboards smarter than i am. Miss jones kind of knows how to use the Interactive Whiteboard. Were all set. class cheering jaden were studying pioneers, so we were doing a big trivia game on our Interactive Whiteboard. What do they call cowboys in spanish . A. Vaqueros, b. Adobe, c. Farmer, or d. Spaniards. Team we think its a. Miss jones yes, that is correct. cheering the pioneers were people from a long time ago who went from the eastern part of america down to the western part of america. This group of kids came up with the questions for the trivia game. Why do People Choose to settle in the west . Then we return them to miss jones and shell type them onto the computer and the computer will tell them to the Interactive Whiteboard. And then there was two teams. Wed read the question and then wed tap the right answer that we thought it was. Miss jones awesome, you are right. The first picture round was the Pioneer School room. We had to take out the things that did not belong. If you want to drag something, you use your finger and you slide it wherever you want. Jaden its bigger than a computer, so you can do more on it with more people than you can do with a computer. So you have your wagon, and youre packing up to move west. They need tools. Jaden we had to put the right stuff in the wagon to go west. I think they would take the rocking chair. Fantastic. Were going to do the violin. Miss jones yes, correct. cheering jaden using the Interactive Whiteboard made learning about pioneers more fun. And now. Dw is not the most patient person in the world. To see what i mean, all you have to do is bake cookies with her. Dw are they ready . Are they ready . Are they ready . Are they ready . Are they ready . sizzling careful, theyre still hot blowing rapidly and to see how really impatient she is, all you have to do is go on a car ride with her. Dw are we there yet . Arthur no. Dw how about now . No. Now . Dw and holidays are the worst. Presents, presents, presents arthur dw you have to wait till mom and dad get up. Another time dw gets really impatient is when. Dw is the show starting . Not yet. Why not . This opening is going on forever. Make it start now just a few more grains of. Now, now, now kids laughing alfred, i said wear a tie, not a pie laughing i can never figure out why they find that picture box so amusing. Neither can i. Its a completely meaningless display of sounds and images. It cant be good for you. I know lets distract them with the noise box laughing okay, its my tv time. No, it isnt is too and youre too old to watch alfred both groaning arthur dark bunny was a rerun hey, this is better than the show. piano playing mei lin can play the piano . Just a few notes. But thats not all. Say hello. Hehwhoa and watch this. Push the lever, mei lin. burps giggles see . Shes a genius, just like her older brother. Wow, thats amazing i wonder if kate can do those things. Say hello, kate. Come on, say hello. speaking gibberish what on earth is she doing . I dont know. She seems to be having some sort of fit. Ahh there. That snapped her out of it. Good thinking, kate. Dw come on, kate. Just one wave. Like this. sighs sheep bleating arthur, we have a problem. I think kates broken. What . I spent half an hour doing this to her. And you know what she did . Nothing she didnt even burp. Shell do all that stuff when shes ready. Kates just fine. But what if she isnt . What if she turns out like you . Whats that supposed to mean . Oh, you wouldnt understand. Arthur i turned out pretty well. Dw pretty well isnt good enough. Its only good enough for people like you. Kate, somethings definitely the matter with dw. I was thinking the same thing. She stood over me going like this. For what seemed like forever. What do you think is wrong with her . Lets see, it all started when mei lin played the noise box. piano notes eerie music electricity flowing speaking gibberish hmm. pop curious. If thats the case, then perhaps a different set of sounds can make her better. Capital idea. Lets try it out. Thanks for coming, brain. I just need to know if kates above average, below average, or. Just averageaverage. Im happy to. Child development is fascinating ive always wondered what stopped my peers brains from developing as mine did. This simple peg board is for measuring intelligence. All you have to do is put the peg into the right hole. Like so. Kate. speaking gibberish i think she wants me to put this thing in the hole. What on earth for . I dont know. She must be having one of her fits. Nows the time to try out our theory see if a series of sounds cures her. banging no. No, thats all wrong you want to. Here, try this triangle one. banging gasps huh . louder banging she failed, didnt she . Oh no my poor little sister oh dear. That didnt work, did it . Ill say. Its only one test, dw. Hardly conclusive. Lets do some object permanence experiments. Whats that . Most babies think that if they cant see an object, it doesnt exist. Advanced children tend to know its still there. speaking gibberish whyd he put the ball behind his back . But are you sure its behind his back . Could it be. Right here oh, pal laughing too true how can anyone say for sure where a thing really is . speaking gibberish ahh poor child dont worry, kate.

Ill tell you what i was doing studying, working, and studying some more at least, i think thats what i was doing. I dont really remember. But i turned out like this somehow. And now kate needs me dw needs me but it could be ages until we find the right combination of sounds. There must be Something Else that can cure her but what . I dont know, pal. But ill find it. Shes my sister. I cant see her suffer like this. whining doorbell rings very good, mei lin and how does a lion roar . roars roars back roars come on, kate roar with me roars no . How about the pig . oinking meowing roaring crowing like a rooster kate it gets worse every day. Can you help us, mei lin . Whenever binky behaves oddly, i tend to copy him and for some reason that seems to calm him down. still making noises i wouldnt know where to begin. Oh, lets give the cat the pig legs cats are very piggy, after all. Mei lin i like it laughing oh thats rich dw no, kate, the pig bottom goes with the pig top. Here, let me show you. Would you just leave her alone already . Dont listen to arthur, kate. You know im just trying to help you, dont you . Actually, arthurs right. Sometimes babies do the most Amazing Things when you just ignore them. beeping laughing kate, im just going to ignore you now, but its not because i dont care, okay . sighs oh, how old is your baby . Seventeen. And shes my sister. Ahh giggling in a deep voice oh speaking gibberish making animal calls crowing woof oink roar kate shes my older sister. Down, dw heel i just want you to know.
