King George, What Was His Problem

I think that Benedict Arnold is a little self centered. I also think that Benedict Arnold and General Gage have a rough relationship, especially because General Gage has a higher ranking than Mr. Arnold. The Americans were very smart by climbing the trees and shooting the British soldiers from above. Will the Americans win another show down with the french on their side?

 

Charlie’s Wish

I think Charlie wished for a different thing than she usually wishes. I wonder if she wished for more friends. I think Charlie likes living in Colby because she finally has someone to share her problems with. So I think Charlie wishes to be with her family in Colby. I also think she wished for her not to be lonely any more. She wants to make more friends be with her family and be happy just like the Odom family.

Teatown Reflection

Teatown is a super fun place to learn about nature.

I liked learning with the town model and seeing what we are doing to the Earth because I would always like to know what I’m doing and trying to fix it. I learned that you can take toxic, but natural things and turn them into fertilizer. You can plant trees or even flowers. The fertilizer strengthens the soil to make better plants grow.

I learned that water is connected to land, like the geosphere (Rocks), atmosphere (Air) and the biosphere (Life).The three things I named are all connected to the Hydrosphere.  The second thing that I learned about water being connected to land was if we have more fertilizer we could plant more trees, bushes or even grass to have more filtered water. let me tell you how it works. If you have grass in a sloped lawn and it was just raining the water at the end of the slope would be mostly clean because the root of the plants job is to hold. To hold the plant,but it can also hold loose soil in the ground. the bigger the roots the better your water will be.

I think the sand box should be a little bigger because if there are to many kids in a class some kids might not be able to stick there hands in at all. kids have to rotate, but one kid doesn’t want to give up there spot. I also think each student could build a model to see how the water cycle works like getting a cup and putting water in it, cover the open part of the cup with saran wrap and place a few ice cubes on top and do other activities. At the end of the trip we check on our cups to see what happened and predict what will happen next. (We all get to take the models home so we can test it out again.)

Read Aloud Reflection – #3

Halloween is positive for August because he gets to feel free and keep his head up in the halls because he’s wearing a mask. August knows that if he wears a mask doesn’t have to hide his face anywhere he goes as long as it’s Halloween. On Halloween August can be anyone else but him. He could hide his face in a fun costume he could even touch people like high five them or just give them a hand shake. Halloween is very positive to August.

Read Aloud Reflection – Wonder – #2

A precept means: rules about a really important things.

If you fall get back up and try again. Never give up on what you believe in.

August is at lunch and meets a girl Summer. Summer’s friends tries to get Summer back at their table, but fails. Summer talks to August and they create a Summer only table. They list all they names that are related to Summer. Think August really likes Jack Will because he tried to convince Summer that they should include Jack Will.
