Building our colony took a very long time. However there were problems. Since I am the strongest person in my colony, I helped carry all the heavy things, stabilize all the buildings, and put on the roofs of some house. I also helped a slave and indentured servant build the big house. We had to get up at dawn and work till dusk. We did not really have much free time to do what we pleased.When we finally finished, we felt really tired. But we also felt proud.

The State Test (RAP)
The State Test is cruel
and that is not nice
the people who make it
really hate mice
It is all very dumb
and really is bad
we all think it’s bad
so don’t be mad
It’s over now, so chill
you don’t need, to stress
just pay your bill
and you won’t be a mess!
Colonial America – Pt 2 – Persona
We are doing Colonial America in class. It is really cool!. This is about who I am, what I do in my freetime, and my backstory…
I am a soldier. I am 18 years old. My mother died when I was born. And my dad got shot by the Spanish armada. So I went to the Southern Colonies because I didn’t have anyone to live with. I live by myself in a little house next to the blacksmith and slave quarters. In my freetime I work at the blacksmith as a gunsmith. I make the guns I use to fight off the natives and the Spanish. I am friendly with all the slaves and indentured servants. I work for Scott Peterson (The Plantation Owner). We have an militia that I am the head soldier of.
I really enjoy being a soldier because we are starting the american revolution. I will be a big part in this. I am very excited!!
Colonial America – Pt 1 – Overview

I am really excited because we are starting to build our colony! I am really excited!
Stargirl
We are reading a book called Stargirl in class by Jerry Spinelli. My thoughts on Stargirl are that, One, I think that Leo and Kevin are curious about Stargirl and what she is doing, and two, Leo is very determined to try and find stuff about Stargirl that is unknown. I think Stargirl is a very interesting story about a school that is boring, and Stargirl comes and lightens the mood. In this school no one wants to stand out. They just want to blend in, not to be noticed. I think this book is very interesting and confusing… But I like it! I think the moral of this book so far, is that you should not be afraid to stand out, just be yourself.
My 6 Word Memoir’s
“Be yourself, others can’t judge it.”
“You are unique, only one you.”
These 6 word memoir’s might mean a lot to other people and their lives.
The Brilliant Deep
We read the book, The Brilliant Deep. It inspired me:
I really liked the story the brilliant deep because it had lots of details and it described the coral and how a little boy named Ken cared about it and also how the coral is alive and helping the environment. This made me realise, if you have a passion, you should believe in it and follow it. Like in the book, Ken’s father had a passion for engineering at NASA, but Ken had a passion for the ocean. Later in his life, he started a group called the Coral Restoration Foundation. It was a group of people that cared and had a passion for for the ocean and or coral. And they also wanted to help out with the coral reef’s. “It only takes one.” One person can make a difference. Ken as a little boy enjoyed his passion, and as he grew up, he spread it to the world. This book really inspired me! If you have a passion, follow it like it is the best thing in the world.
The Best Food I’ve Ever Ate
Steak. When I first had it, I felt like I had just won the biggest achievement in the world.
I had eaten 2 WHOLE STEAKS! It was so good! As soon as it touched my mouth, my taste buds felt like they had exploded from the good taste. Barbecue sauce burning in my mouth. It was… AMAZING!
Now steak is my favorite food, (well of course!) but now whenever I see steak burning on a barbecue, my mouth waters almost instantly!
Steak is truly the best food I’ve ever ate!
