Week 5

1 comment

Categories: Uncategorized

Hello

This week, I built a Stucture out of my every day items. I took legos, binders and toilet paper rolls to build a sculpture. Unfortunately, it did not come together that easily. I tried to balance the toilet paper roll on its side but I kept failing. I broke multiple pieces of legos and stopped many textbooks and binders, in the end, my structure looked not beautiful,  but very unique. From this experience I have learned to never give up on things that you want.

Week 5

Hello all

Over the long and grueling break, I have reflected on myself a lot. I take for granite every day that I am well. I feel very bad for the people that have been suffering. On the other hand. School has not been nearly as stressful as it normally is. Though I sometimes forget to do some assignments, i prefer the relaxed style of learning. Hopefully these next few weeks can be a relaxing as the last few.

Week 4 (SANDING)

Categories: Uncategorized

Hello all

This week I had the chance to begin to sand my front, back, and both sides. It required a lot of focus but I was happy with the result. First Ms. Giroux handed me a dust mask, when I put it on, tons of hot air rushed into my face once I breathed. To make matters worse, once I put my goggles on, they immediately fogged up. Even though I thought this would slow me down, it made me stronger. After waiting for 10 minutes, it was my turn to sand on the belt sander. When I turned it on, it seemed very imitating because of its loud, roaring noise. I was ready, I put on my glasses and my mask and pushed my wood against the machine. It worked, I was overwhelmed with joy. Overall this was a great experience for me.

Designing My Box

Categories: Uncategorized

Hello all

Today I started to work on my box. It was a very challenging process that required a lot of focus and determination. Once I decided what the dimensions of my box were, I started to draw them out on a piece of paper. My hands were shaking when I made the lines because I was so nervous that would mess up. I was so focused on perfection that I forgot to let loose and have fun. Once I finished I was very relived because I knew that the most grueling work had been done. The next day, I had to submit the exact dimensions of my box on a google form. This was way less difficult than the other part. Later in the week, week got to work with hand planners. There role is too smooth out wood. When I used it, I enjoyed it a lot because it was very satisfying and addictive because of the noise and pieces that it made. Overall, it was a great week and hope that more weeks can be a great as this one.

BYE.

Ellis Island Trip

Categories: Uncategorized

Hi

Our class went on a field trip to Ellis island. Ellis island is a place where immigrants from Europe would be sent through around 1900.  Its history is incredible and we were lucky enough to be able to go there. The whole trip was inspired by our immigration unit that we had done earlier in the year. My whole class already knew a lot about immigration and the Ellis Island process but we were still psyched to actually go there. The trip took one whole day and here is my experience on it.

We all had to be at our school’s front circle at 7am. I was not happy with this because then you have to wake up early so that you won’t be late. When everyone arrived at the buses, Ms. Edwards split us into groups with a chaperone. When we got on the buses we were all starting to settle down because we were all going to have to be on the bus for an hour and a half. Then when we finally got the the dock where we would board the ferry, we were all told to stick next to our chaperones at all times so that we would not get lost. Then our chaperone gave us our ticket as we went through the security checks. After that we waited for the ferry to come that would take us to the island. When we got on the ferry someone said that the ride would be about 15 minuets. The I thought, oh that not that bad. I was starting to feel a little sick on the boat since we were sitting on the top of the boat. Then we finally made to Ellis Island. A few more minuets and I would have vomited. Then we we got off I heard someone say,” The boat ride back will be 45 minuets.” I was nervous. Then we had a little snack and talked. After that we walked into Ellis Island and a man was there to give us a tour. Then he walked all around and talked about Ellis Island. When the tour was over WE got to explore with our chaperone, it was a museum. Then we watched a movie about Ellis Island, It was really cool. The we sat and had lunch right next to the water. After that we had to try to find one of our relatives that had traveled through Ellis Island. I found my Great Grandparents! Then it was time to head back. Then somehow we missed the ferry that would take us back, but some kids and there chaperone were on that boat. Then we boarded the next boat and we didn’t sit on the top and I felt fine. Then we took the bus back home and that was It.

Overall this trip was really cool and entertaining. I would definitely go back with my family one time. This Trip was really special to us fifth graders because the is the last field trip that we will have in elementary school.

Bye 🙂

5th Grade Field Trip (Pollo a la Brasa Misti Restaurant)

Hi

My 5th grade class went to a restaurant called Pollo a la Brasa Misti Restaurant. The food was super duper good and if I could I would definitely go again. Senor Johnson organized the trip, he taught us loads of Spanish before the trip. I feel like I could go to a Spanish speaking country and talk with everyone. The restaurant was a Peruvian restaurant, that means the food that is cooked their is cultured from Peru. My favorite dish that was served was the Lomo Saltado because there was steak, rice, and french fries in the dish and those are all some of my favorite foods so when they were all combined it tasted liked like heaven. We were also served a drink called Chicha Morada, I did not like it. I was too bitter for me and I just stuck with water. It was was cool because all of the the waiters and waitress’s spoke Spanish so we spoke to them in Spanish too. It was so fun. Overall the whole trip was a blast. A special thanks to the PTA and Senor Johnson for making the trip possible.

Where I’m From

Hi

When Ms. Edwards said that our poems we would write for poetry month would be called “Where I’m from” poems I instantly thought we would talk about the simple things in your life like, where you live, and how many family members do you have. I was wrong She explained to us how for the where I’m from poems you need to write about where your really from like the things in your life. I didn’t really know what to think of where I’m from poems, but I thought I would have to dig way down deep in to me. Luckily Ms. Edwards gave us an organizer to help us figure out what will will write about and to make our poem better. After our first draft was due for our poem we got to give our poem to other classmates so that they could read and tell me things that I did bad and good in for my poem. After a few more days of editing the process was over. I had my poem! From this experience I learned how to really dig down into yourself.

Bye

I have seen other people make these games and I was really into it. The game I made is called a platformer. In a platformer you need to move the character above obstacles and the goal is to get to the end of the level. I had fun playing this game so I think that you will have fun playing too. Use the arrow keys to move. Enjoy!! 🙂

This project was really fun to make because I was randomly Thinking of Christmas so I decided to make a Christmas pong game. I thought a normal pong game would be too boring so I decided top make it multiplayer. The goal of the game is to keep the presents off of the red. The first player to 10 hits wins. You play by Using the right and left arrow keys and using the a and d key. It is really fun and great for holiday fun!! 🙂
