This is my book review on the book All the Answers by Kate Messner. I worked really hard on this for three days. First we got to choose what book we wanted to write about. Then we started our planning page. That took me one day to do. Then we wrote our book review on Google Docs.  All this was really fun and I worked really hard!

 

Book: All the Answers

Author: Kate Messner

Recommended by: Allie

Have you ever wondered what all the answers were to all the questions you have? Well in the book “All the Answers by Kate Messner” that happens all to a girl named Ava with her magic blue pencil.

In this book Ava Anderson, the main character finds a magic blue pencil in a family dunk draw. Also, Ava’s dad wants to make a world famous thing. Ava finds out that the magic blue pencil is good and bad.

My favorite part of the book was when Ava’s sister Emma calls herself names like Emma – my – name – is – Uranus. Also, when Ava f

inds out something about her mom.

You will like this book if you like when people have problems and when books have suspense. I give t

his book a 5 out of 5 star rating because it keeps you interested when Ava has a lot of problems going on at the same time.

Welcome to my Cultural Universals project! This project took me about 6 weeks. First we chose our country me and my partner chose Peru. Then I went to the library to take books about Peru. Then we started studying about our country. Then we got to choose if we were going to do Adobe Spark or Book Creator. I choose Book Creator. Then I started working on Book Creator. I took me about 2 weeks to do. I had to revise a lot. That was the most challenging part. I hope you enjoy!

This is my graphing project. I surveyed my classmates and asked them, “What’s your favorite Season?” I tallied my results and created a huge poster sized bar graph. Then I made a Google Slides Presentation. In my Google Slides, I created a bar graph and pictograph to display my data. One thing I enjoyed about this project was coloring in my bar graph. One thing I found challenging about this project was drawing the bars and making them straight on my poster sized bar graph. I hope you enjoy viewing my final Google Slides Presentation.

After we put our book in Google Slides and added photos in the Google Slides. This book took a long time to work on and revise. I hope you enjoy my book!

I believe that everyone should have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. In my persuasive piece, I shared my reasons, which are that they are family dogs and they are smart dogs.

In my project, I recorded my voice with photos in a google slideshow to go with my persuasive essay. It was a fun project, I liked editing my piece, But it was a bit challenging recording my piece but I got it eventually! I hope you like my video and agree that everyone should get a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel!

 

Green or White?

This is my first blog post. In our first writing unit we learned about making leads, making endings, and using dialogue. I choose this story because it was the most excited event in my life.  If you are wondering how long this story took for me it took 4 weeks. 

 

 

One bright afternoon at Camp Robin Hood after green and white broke, we were all standing in front of the dining hall for the…JELLY BEAN PICK!

“YAY!” I screamed out.

After we all lined up, Woody and DC started talking about the rules for Color War (Green and White).

“Now without further ado, time for the Jelly Bean Pick!” Woody said, shouting into the microphone.

Everyone started SCREAMING their heads off after Woody said that. ( I was screaming VERY loud too.)

Then it was time to announce the people on green and white.

Woody, the head director, called the two Tumbler captains and the two co-captains up to pick the first jelly bean. Since there are two of each, they had to do rock, paper, scissors to pick the jelly bean. The jelly beans inside the hat are green and white so if they pick a white one they are on the white team.

“Rock, paper, scissors says shoot,” said Lila and Marni (The two team captains.)  

Guess who won!…Lila!

Lila reached her hand deep inside the hat. Quickly she pulled out a … WHITE JELLY BEAN! She is on the white team!

Beforehand she picked people to be on her team, now it is time to announce the people on her team.

“On the white Tumblers there is Allie, Carly, Brooke…” said Woody.

What!? Did they call my name!? Did they say Allie!?

“I am on the white team! Hooray!” I shouted.

“Now for the green Tumblers,” said Woody. “Marissa, Maddy, Esme…”

After the Tumblers went, all of the other groups went.

Then it was finally time to find out what counselors captains were on which team!

I was shaking with fear because I really, I mean really, wanted Kerri and Mikey. Kerri slowly put her hand in the hat.

“The bean has been picked,” said Woody in a little yell. “It is…Fight white Fight!!!” shouted Evie and Josh.

“Go green go,” shouted Kerri and Mikey.

Why didn’t I get Kerri and Mikey?, Actually, it is fine that I got Evie and Josh because they are so active. I thought.

I jumped up and down in excitement, “Color war, YAY!” I shout. “Color war! Color war! Color war!”
