Achiments

     I have achieved getting a growth mindset award.  I got good grades.  I got good grades in most of my classes.  I achieved getting through the school year.  I achieved getting perfect attendance for some of the months.  I achieved making new friends.  And I still am friends with some kids from elementary school.  Those are some of my achievements from this school year.

Three Positives Of the Week

     One positive from this week was that I went up on the Map tests.  I also went up on another map test.  Another positive was that I was able to dress down.  Another positive is that map testing is over.    Another positive is that I went to recess on Wednesday.  Another positive is that today is Thursday so the weekend is close by.  Another positive is that so far I didn’t have to go to working lunch.  Those are my positives from the week.

50th Required Blog Post

     It is fourth quarter and I can’t believe that this is my 50th required blog post.  I thought that I would have more by now.  But I do have a lot.  Since I did the slice of life challenge I have a lot of blog posts.  I think that I have about 70 maybe 80.  I think my first post was around September.  I can believe that I have 50 required posts.

Map Testing

     On Tuesday we are starting Map Testing.  Map Testing is not as bad as  PARCC testing.  We are going from Winter to Spring.  This will be our third session with map testing. We do three sessions we do fall,winter, and spring.  It’s not that bad because it is only three tests per session.  But I still don’t like them.  Hopefully these will go by fast.

S.O.L Field Trip

     This Monday we took a field trip down to Chicago.  We went to the Writers museum.  It was pretty cool.  When we first went in we were in readers hall I think.  Then we went by some interactive area.  We got to use typewriters.  There was also a children’s area with children’s literacy books.  I had a great time at the writers museum.

Poem 2

     This is a poem about home work.   I don’t think that doing or having homework is depressing.  I don’t think that anyone likes it really.  I do agree with homework being a deflated balloon.  It is also like the ice cream thing too.  Homework is not fun.  It kind of is like a bee sting.  I agree mostly with this poem.

Favorite Song

     My favorite song right now is Perfect by Ed Sheeran.  I like this song because it is a really nice song.  It is also very catchy.  I also like the theme of the song.  It also has a nice flow to it.  I like the way the lyrics go together.  I think that it has a good message to it.  Once again my favorite song is Perfect by Ed Sheeran.

Poem

     This poem reminds me of the ocean.  And the beach too.  It’s one of those poems that makes you feel more relaxed. It is a simple poem but it is really inspiring too.  You don’t have to think hard to understand it.  I really do like this poem.  Because it is just really simple.  And in general it’s just a nice poem.

Chicago History Project Update

     For my Chicago history project I am doing the Chicago Cubs.  They are a baseball team that play in Chicago Illinois.  The Chicago Cubs play at Wrigley Field.  They were formally known as the Chicago White Stockings.  They have had a few more names.  But today they are known as the Chicago Cubs.  They have played at Wrigley Field since 1914. That is over 100 years old.  The Chicago Cubs have recently won the World Series in 2016.

Fourth Quarter Goals

     Today is Friday and we are getting back our third quarter report cards.  I looked over my grades. I was pretty satisfied with my grades for third quarter.  I don’t think that I have to really improve on any classes.  But I’m not saying that I can’t improve on anything else.  I can still improve on other classes.  I think that my areas to improve are science. And social studies.

Spring Break

     Spring break for our school started at the end of the day on Thursday.  It honestly felt like a long time before break.  The assembly seemed entertaining but I wasn’t really able to see it.  For spring break we had 10 days. I read a few pages over the break but I didn’t read to much.  I wanted to almost finish my book.  Right now I am at page 136.  It has 195 pages in total so I am more than half way there.  Spring break felt pretty long this year.

Spring Break 3/31

     It was Thursday.  It was the day before spring break.  I was sitting in excel hopping the day was going to go by quickly.  I know the day is going to feel shorter because we had shortened classes.  Time was going by slow. Minutes felt like hours.  In art it should go by fast. I thought in my head. Art always goes by fast.  I thought in my head.  I hoped the day would go by fast.

Chicago Cubs or Sports 3/30

     I was picking a topic for our Chicago History project.  I wanted to do sports and more about the cubs.  If I talk about sports in general then I can’t really only talk about the Cubs.  I wasn’t sure which one to pick.  I was going over. And over and over. If what to pick because I really wasn’t sure which one to pick.  After a little bit of a debate in my head I decided to pick the Chicago Cubs for my Chicago History Project.

The Math Test 3/29

     We were about to start the math test.  I was a little bit nervous.  She started to pass out the math test.  I was sitting at the counter. It was kind of a weird spot. Because it was meant for a desktop computer to be there.  I could tell because it had a spot where the keyboard was sapposed to be.  I got the test the questions looked very easy.

Underneath The Door 3/28

     I had free time in social studies and I was doing my blogs.  I looked around hoping that something would grab my attention to write about.  Then I saw it.  It was the door.  I saw a crack under the door. What could you fit under there I wondered to myself.  Maybe a pencil. Or pen.

Tuesday, March 27, 2018

The Pen 3/27

     I was getting a pen to fill out my slice of life ticket.  I grabbed a pen.  I started to write on the ticket.  Nothing was showing.  I tried once again.  It still didn’t show anything.  I was going to try one more time.  If it didn’t work this time I was going to put the pen back and get a new one.  I started to write.  I pick up the pen.  There was still nothing.  I put back the pen and grabbed another one.  That one did work.

Dress Down 3/26

     I was in the car.  I saw some kids wearing different clothes that were out of uniform.  I got into the building.  I was at my locker and I saw a lot of kids wearing different clothes.  As I was opening my locker.  Someone asked me why I didn’t wear purple.  And I said”well I didn’t know that we were suposed to wear purple”.  I didn’t know that we were able to wear purple.

What to Choose? 3/25

     She called me to her desk.  I was a little nervous because I didn’t know what I was getting called up for.  She said that we got to choose an incentive pass since we did the go for the gold challenge.  I didn’t know what to pick there were so many options.  I was going over it in my head what do want to get.  It was harder than I thought to pick something. Then I finally decided.  I picked the switch excel class.

Space Cord or Blogs 3/24

     Dodge it dodge it. I said to myself in my head.  I was playing space cord on cool math.  I knew I had to go do a slice of life.  But I really wanted to play space cord.  So I said to myself that once I died in the game I would go do the slice of life.  I really wanted to also do blogs because I needed to get them scheduled for the weekend.  Then I realized that I also had to do a blog post for Friday too.

Ice Cream 3/23

     I saw ice cream toppings.  Are we going to have ice cream. I thought in my head.  There were bowls with spoons in them.  Those were the toppings.  I was sitting at a table with my friends.  We all thought it was ice cream.  Then we saw the teachers pull out two big tubs of ice cream. There was chocolate and vanilla.

Finally Falcon Dollars 3/22

     I was at the front. I was filling out my slice of life.  She told me to stay there for a moment.  She had falcon dollars at the table.  I wondered what they were for. They were split up into different piles.  She gave me the falcon dollars. I was so happy. Now I could go to recess.

Wednesday, March 21, 2018

Boss Baby 3/21

  How did we agree on Boss Baby. I thought in my head. Its not that I don’t like Boss Baby I just don’t want to watch it again. I thought.  I wish we picked Daddy Day Care or free Willy like the other blocks did.  I haven’t seen those movies so I wouldn’t mind watching them.  I thought.  Why did we pick Boss Baby.

Pitch Perfect 3 3/20

     Come on come on. I turned to my left. I saw fire. I heard girls and boys screaming. I was so confused.  Then I saw in the background that there was something on fire. Then, I saw that some girl tripped over a bee hive. I was laughing. It was so funny.

Tower of Destiny 3/19

     I jumped over the spikes. Then I had to jump over a block. All while dodging blue things that can make you lose a life. And some monsters that also could make me lose a life. So I went for it. I timed it so that when I jumped I wouldn’t hit the blue thing. I jumped and me timing was ok. I just barely missed the blue thing. I got the box to open up the latter.

The Clorox Wipe 3/18

     Once again I was looking around the room. Trying to find something to write about. Then I saw the Clorox wipe. And then I remembered when I was in math. And someone had drew on the table. So she asked someone to clean it up. Someone else was already doing it but then I asked to do it. I was washing away someone’s led.

Finished books 3/17

     I was looking for something to write about. Then I looked over at the wall where we put the title of our book it we finish it. Then I started thinking to myself. Wow we are already at 172 books.  Then I look at block three they were at 157. And block one was at 73. I thought to myself that total hasn’t been updated since a long time ago. Were probably at 400 already.

Friday, March 16, 2018

Falcon Dollars 3/16

Please pass them out.  I said in my head. I hope she passes them out. I said in my head. I really need that money for recess. She brought the bin out. Then she went right back to her desk. Then she stood up again. She started passing them out. I was so happy. I honestly could even remember the last time we got falcon dollars in the morning.

NoRedInk 3/15

     Get it right, get it right. She only needs like three more questions. Please Please just get it right. She was about to click it. I covered my eyes. She clicked it.  My eyes were still closed I didn’t want to open them. I started to uncover them. I looked at the screen, it was right. We were both saying yay.

Math 3/14

Well math should be easy I’m good at that. I don’t struggle in math.  Is it 13 questions? 14,15,16 Ugh.     Well I mean math testing last year wasn’t that hard it was only 13 questions I think.  My mind just kept going back to having to sit in excel for over an hour. Why could I just do whatever I wanted at the end. I wondered. Once again my mind wouldn’t stop going back to why is PARCC testing a thing.

Tuesday, March 13, 2018

PARCC 3/13

What if I have to write a long paragraph? I wondered. I really hate writing long paragraphs on test. Especially PARCC tests. But on the bright side I think that I only have to write things like that on the ELA test. I think that I will do well on the math test. My best subject is math so that shouldn’t be to hard. Oh man why did PARCC testing come so early this year.

IXL 3/12

     I was looking over the problem. It was a hard question I could tell because it had a lot of words. I was in the nineties. So I knew that if I got it wrong, sadly I would go down to eighty. And I also knew if I got it wrong it would make me really frustrated. So I went and asked my teacher Ms.Haury. She was a teacher so I knew she would help me not get it wrong. She was reading the question. We figured out the problem together. We figured out the answer. I clicked on it. We were both shocked it was wrong. About 30 seconds later we both started laughter really hard.

Sunday, March 11, 2018

WINNER 3/11

     Ms.Haury was calling winners for the slice of life challenge. I really wanted to win. I wanted to get some pens. She put her hands in the box. She was pulling out the name. She was about to read it. She said my name. I was so excited I was really hoping I was going to win anyways. So when I did win I was really happy. I grabbed a box of nerds and SpongeBob stickers.

The Elephant 3/10

     I was looking for something to write about. So I looked around the room looking for something to write about. Then I found it. It was perfect. It was not something I wrote about before. It was an elephant. On the carpet there is a elephant just on the floor. It looked so sad. He was probably thrown on the floor just waiting for someone to pick him up.

Math Test Check 3/9

     I was checking my test. I made sure that I checked the front and back. I made sure I put either squared or cubed. But there was one question that I checked right before I was going to stand up. I had a mini heart attack. Oh no. I quickly then realized that I didn’t need to actually put anthing. Because I was only finding the height.

Blogger 3/8

“What do I write about”, I wondered. “This is a slice of life it shouldn’t take that long to think of something to write about” I thought. I looked around the room hoping to find something to write about. But I just couldn’t find anything to write about. Then I spent a couple of minutes thinking again. Then I realized my teacher had said that someone else wrote a blog just about them thinking of what to write about. It was perfect. So then I decided that I would write about me figuring it what to write about for the slice of life.

Working Lunch or Recess? 3/7

     I’m in a debate. “Should I go to working lunch or go to recess”, I wondered to myself.  I want to go to working lunch so I could be close to finishing my art project. But I also really want to go to recess because I have a volleyball game after school. So if I go to recess I could get some practice in, but if I don’t go to working lunch I won’t get my art project done and it’s due on Friday. I had to think about it for one or two minutes. Maybe working lunch is a better choice. But recess isn’t a bad choice either. I couldn’t decide.

The News 3/6

     I was watching the news at around five or six last night. The weather lady was saying that it was sapposed to snow. She was also saying that it was going to snow about 1.5 inches last night. Then the other news people were saying that it was also sapposed to snow a lot down by the Atlantic Ocean. They were also talking about the states like New York, North Carolina, Virginia and I think a few more states down by the coast. I turned the news off. And I heard the rain falling. And I also think that it snowed less then an inch.

Rain 3/5

     I heard drops falling. “Was it rain”, I wondered to myself. I walked into the hallway. I listened closely. It was raining I could definitely tell that it was clearly raining. It was raining pretty hard. I could tell because the rain drops were coming down fast. And because it was louder than normally. It was pouring outside.

NoRedInk 3/4

     Just this last week. I was working on my least favorite website NoRedInk. And I was doing a hard topic. I was struggling so hard to try and figure out the evidence and reasoning. But they both just seemed like the same thing. Every time I got it wrong I would just get more and more frustrated at myself. Then I was about to quit it. So I went and asked my teacher for help. She explained to me what I was sapposed to do. After that I understood it much better than I did before. I did finish it so I don’t have to worry about it anymore.

Locker 3/3

 I went to my locker. I was putting in my combo. I got to the last number. I tried pulling it open. It wouldn’t budge open a bit.  I put th combo in again. It still would not open. Was I putting it in wrong? Is this even my locker? I tried for a third time. Finally I got it open. I was so relaxing, but kind of mad at my self because it’s the middle of the year and it shouldn’t take my three try’s just to get my lock open.

Dress Down 3/2

I woke up this morning. I woke up a little bit later than I normally do. I had realized that today we get to dress down. I went to my dresser I looked at what I wanted to wear. It didn’t take me that long to pick out what I wanted to wear. I was really excited to wear regular clothes instead of a uniform. I finished getting ready and was out the door. And on my way to school.

The Rain 3/1

     I was leaving for school. I walked out of the house. I could see the rain falling, it was pouring.  I didn’t have an umbrella. I didn’t want to run out but I knew I had to. So I counted down from five. I counted 5,4,3,2,1 run! I ran to the car getting all wet. But I had my hood on so I didn’t get to wet.

ELA Class

I walked into ELA class. It was quite. I was a little confused. It’s never this quiet. Normally when I walk into ELA people are normally talking hanging out and moved all over the classroom. But not today. Nobody was able to move from their seats. And nobody was talking. The teacher didn’t even tell us to be quite, the teacher walked into the classroom and said” I wish it could always be like this”.

Should Pitbulls be Banned From Certain Places?

 Pitbulls and other aggressive dogs should not be banned from certain places.  Aggressive dogs should not be banned because any dog can become aggressive. They can become aggressive from their owners. And finally, they can become trained not to be aggressive.  Any dog can grow up being aggressive. An owner can be aggressive around a dog causing them to become aggressive like the owner.  Owners can take their dog to a trainer and they can train them not to be so aggressive. Aggressive dogs should not be banned from certain places.

Uniforms?

Should we have uniforms in schools?   I don’t think we should have school uniforms.  If you don’t have a school uniform or don’t know what they are I’ll tell you right now. You might see kids wearing specific clothes unlike other kids. If you do they are wearing a school uniform. Some dress code rules are more specific than others.  Some students might just not be able to wear certain clothes, but other schools make kids wear polo shirts and khaki pants. I don’t not agree with school uniforms. I don’t think we should have tgem at all. For example, people say that it prevents bullying but it really doesn’t because people can still bully you about other things.

Snow Day

     We has a snow day last week on Friday. Since it was Friday we had a three day weekend. It was nice.  But I have heard rumors that we have to makeup the day in the summer, which I don’t want to do.  It was nice that we didn’t have school but the snow was terrible. There was about nine inches of snow on the ground there are still piles out there right now.  The piles in the parking lots are really high too. They look taller than a car. I kind of wish that we didn’t have the snow day that way we didn’t have to make up the day in the summer time. Or make it up on a holiday that we have off.

Captivity?

     Should Killer Whales be kept in captivity? I believe that Killer Whales should not be kept in captivity. They should live in the wild because they live longer.  It says that Killer Whales in the wild live to 50 to 80 years old.  In captivity it says that Killer Whales that have lives at SeaWorld die around 13 years old. They also don’t get to swim in as much space. Coming from swimming in a huge ocean compared to a pool, they don’t have much space to swim. Killer whales could swim around 100 miles every single day. For those reasons I believe that Killer Whales should not be kept in captivity.

Vending Machine

     Recently in my school they have put in a vending machine. It has healthy snacks. I know that there is Snapple in there. But I’m not sure what flavors though. I’m also not sure what snacks are in there either but I know that they are healthy snakes. I walked past it today and there was not much food left. I think there was three option of what to get. It seems to be very popular.

BlackFish Review

      I think that BlackFish was a very informative documentary.  They talked about how they would lie about people’s deaths. They would say that it was a trainer mistake or a trainer error. I don’t think that these killer whales should be kept in captivity. I also think that they should have taught the trainers what to do in a situation where there could be a frustrated whale. If they knew how to do things like that less people would have gotten hurt or killed. In the movie it said that they already knew that some of these killer whales have hurt people why would they still have kept them. I think they should let go all animals that are kept in cages.  Because just imagine what it would feel like to go from having the whole ocean to swim it to going to a small little concrete pool and have to be trained to do tricks for a show every day. In conclusion I think that Killer Whales and other animals should not be kept in pools and closed off areas.

Fiction vs Non Fiction

If a story is fake or not real then it is a fiction story.  If a story has facts and is real than it is non fiction.  Fiction books can also be chapter books. A fiction book has a genre in it also.  A non fiction book doesn’t have a genre or a plot in it. A non fiction book could be used to help you with research, like if you need to learn facts about a sea lion you could find a non fiction book about sea lions and it will give you facts on a sea lion. Non fiction books also have a glossary. The glossary can help you find the topics that are in the book. A fiction story has a plot too.

Winter Break ❄️

Over winter break I had a very relaxing time. I didn’t do all the things I wanted to do over break but I did a few things. Unfortunately I didn’t finish my book or read the five pages every night but I did read over the break so I completed that goal. And I also dint publish and blog posts either. I got to spend lots of time with family and friends. I was able to welcome the new year with my family and friends. I really enjoyed my break this year.

New Years Resolutions? 🎉

     New Years Resolutions. Did you pick a New Years Resolution? I know that I didn’t. A New Years Resolution is something that you promise to be committed to. It also similar to a goal. This year I decided not to pick a New Years Resolution because I know that they are hard to stick to.  Some resolutions can be more complacted than others. If one day you decide that you are going to have a lazy day and not do anything and if you have a resolution that requires you to actually get up and move around you might not complete your goal for that day. 

Genocide Presentations

     I think that the most important thing that I learned during this project was that these events happened. Most of the genocides that we...
