  With Mr. Deberry we learned:

 

Main idea or subtopic, compare and contrast, cause and effect, and problem and solution. We learned how reading non-fiction is different than fiction so we have to read in a different way.

 

In our reading lesson, my favorite part was creating slides and researching about our topics, because when we make the slides we got to add transitions and add pictures.And I liked researching because we got to find information on different websites.

 

My group was studying tornadoes, then, hurricanes. My group was Akif, Alex, Brody, Me, Emma, Jerry, Nathan, and Shannen. We had to work hard to finish. I felt all of our hard work paid off and at the end, there were about 8 or 9 hands up.

And I thought we did a good job.

 

When we were studying hurricanes my subtopic was hurricane safety.

When we were studying tornadoes my subtopic was tornado damage.

 

We did this thing called flipgrid, where we take a video of ourselves talking about a reflection on the unit. Here’s the link https://flipgrid.com/c7400c

Ecosystems:

An ecosystem is an area where living and nonliving things interact with each other. For example if there is an empty soda can and a  (alive) dog then the (nonliving) soda can is interacting with the (living) dog.

 

Producers- Producers produce food for themselves.

Consumers- Consumers eat the food.

 

Decomposers- Decomposers decompose organic material.  

 

Decomposers, Producers, and Consumers:

Decomposers play a very important part in our planet because they break things down, take leaves for example the earth would be covered in leaves if mushrooms didn’t decompose them.Producers are like grass, the sun grows it and then the grass is food.The consumers like owls eat lots of things from mice to snakes.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                      The important book about:

                                                       James Cook  

 

The important thing about James Cook is he sailed around the world twice, he circled the icy terrain known as Antarctica, and made three voyages.

His first voyage was in 1768 

Cook was a commander on an expedition to the south pacific.He was to sail scientists and sailors to explore planet Venus.(Not to like sail them to Venus just sail them to where they need to go to get there).

Cook’s second voyage was in 1772

in July, he sailed from England to the coast of West Africa.When He hit the tip of South Africa he continued South.As he was sailing he saw icebergs he tried to continue on with his journey but he was cornered by the ice so he couldn’t head any further South so he went North he spent a few months on the ocean and explored Tahiti,New Zealand, and Tonga.

Cook’s third voyage was in 1776.

He left England in front of two ships.They headed up the south coast of then sailed to the tip.He sailed to Hawaii Cook was amazed how well they could sail.                                                    Cook died because one of his ships was taken he tried to get it back but that was the end of his journey.He did all that, but the important thing about James Cook is that he sailed around the world twice.

Hi I’m Chase and I like soccer, basketball, and dodge ball. I wish there was a league that I could sign up  for dodge ball, like how you can sign up for a league for baseball. I like soccer because you can really start to get aggressive and I don’t get in trouble (Depends what type of aggressive you use, and who you use it around).

My favorite animals are: Snow leopards, cheetahs, red tailed hawks, and every cat there is. I’m allergic so I can’t get one but I can still like them.

It would be really cool if humans could fly and dogs cost no money! I will be writing a lot about things that might be in the future and things I think of.

See you on my next post!
