When we got to Summer’s house we went to her attic because that’s where we are going to do it. We were stuck on our task but after a while we knew what we should do, make a ball fall into a basketball hoop. After we knew are task we went to the basement to get stuff for our rube goldberg. So when we went to the basement we wanted to use Caleb”s toy (Summer’s little brother) because we could get a lot of stuff. We used his toy cars, some of his tracks, his basketball hoop, his ball. After we got all our stuff we went upstairs.

 

After we got upstairs we started to build but we realized that we needed more steps because we only had 3 steps! Summer’s mom said that there was a box with all rube goldberg because Summer’s older sister stuff but we couldn’t find it, but then we realized that there was jenga tiles on the floor. Now we had 4 steeps 4 more to go! Summer had a small ball so we used that so now we are at 5 steps! Then we had magnetic tiles so we uses those for a tunnel. That was 6 steps we used a cardboard block thing, tape. That’s what we have so far.

 

Rube Goldeberg # 1: Our Plan

I’m doing my Rube Goldberg with Summer and Hannah were doing it at summers house. We were thinking we should use some of Summer’s little brothers toys. Basically a rube goldberg is a chain reaction one example is dominos  another example is knocking a tape roll all of those examples are chain reaction . Were doing it in summers attack we are using her brothers toys like a little car and we are using one of his race track. It’s a little hard to finish our sketch and everything because we are never free.  We could only do it at Summer’s house because she’s allergic to my Dog and Hannah’s cat. Today we are going to Summer’s house because we’re all free because my soccer is later and Summer’s plan got cancelled.  Are task is getting a basketball into a hoop I feel like we should do our rube goldberg a little more complex.

We are so excited to do our rube goldeberg when we went to summer’s house we got straight to work we were so excited to start a really fun activity. Right when we went upstairs we were totally stuck on our task we thought we would never be able to do it.

 

 

 

Kindness Challenge

In school this week we’ve have been working on this kindness sheet that showed us how to behave in school and at home, it showed us how to act to adults who are trying to always help you. I think it was a really good idea that we been looking at the sheet because it was a good lesson on what’s pallite and how to show good manners.

I think kindness is really important because it defines you and the way you act more people would like you. I also think that the kindness challenge means we could be more helpful, nice, respectful and be more nice to everyone even if there not nice to you. One example is you can say thank you to the crossing guard instead of just walking without saying anything. Another example is when the lunch people give you your food don’t just stand there without saying anything use polite manners.

I feel that if you are respectful and kind person people will always remember you as the really king respectful person. Trust me you don’t want to be the one named the mean and disrespectful one. Whenever you are king but if you are mean there is something called karma and you don’t want that either. I hope someday everyone is kind in this world!!

Martin Luther King was a very important leader in our life he changed the way we live today. He is a person we will always remember. Martin Luther King was very strong man and never gave up. He was a big role model to everyone. He gave speeches that made people really think what’s happening. King got assassinated by Ray on on the second floor balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. Martin Luther King  was a very smart intelligent guy. King was born on January 15 in Atlanta, Georgia. King made everyone’s life feel like freedom. Kings parents were really good parents teaching him what’s right and how to act. He told black people what they should believe in and that is doesn’t matter if you have a different religion you just have to be nice. In one of Martin Luther King’s speech he said how upstanders are the one who help and bystanders are the one in silence I thought this was very important because he was saying if you stand up to what’s right good things happen and bystanders are left alone in the silence. King joined a group with other Black religious leaders to form the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). This was smart because he was with other black  people who wanted to change the way they were treated and wanted to fight. King was released from prison. Martin Luther King went to prison 30 times! He went 30 times because of the unfair treatments he was sticking up for what was right!

I think our team did pretty well but we could do a little better on not fidgeting. I had a great experience on our presentation it was fun to speak and also to see other groups I think our team did pretty well. All of my group mates did very well on speaking everyone was very clear and point forward. My favorite slide I did was my inspiration board I liked that one the most because it was long and I remember that slide a lot!  

The presentation was really great experience but it was a little scary speaking in front of the whole class and parents. Over all every group did a outstanding job with a lot of enthusiastic!  I really enjoy speaking in front of a crowd. Everyone in my group did really well on memorizing and no one was hesitating.

This is our presentation=

We read the “Book of the Month, One Plastic Bag, by Miranda Paul is about a girl named Isatou Ceesay.  She really wants people to not use plastic bags because it is not good for the environment. She lived in Gambia is really beautiful.

We also watched a “TED Talk” about a team of sisters named Melati and Isabell Wijsen who made it their mission to get rid of plastic bags in Bali by the year 2018. Something that is really impressive is that they are only 20 years old and they reached their goal one year ahead of time!

 

Winn-Dixie

Some similar things about the movie and the book are they both have the lonley party and winn- Dixie also gets lost when the party is going on. Another one is Amanda’s brother drowned when he was 5 years old.  Another similarity is Otis goes to jail in both the book and the movie. Yet another similarity is that  Gloria Dump still has a mistake tree.

There are some differences between the book and the movie, too. One difference is that when the rainstorm occurs, Winn Dixie hides in Gloria Dump house. In the movie, Winn Dixie runs away. Another difference is that the preacher comes t the party in the book. However, in the movie, Winn Dixie runs away instead.
