It was the first day of Heathcote School and kids were rushing to see the new playground equipment they installed over the Summer. They also installed a new “Spinner”, the kids call it.

It turned out that kids were falling off of the spinner and getting sent to the nurse’s office. This was dangerous when kids were not supervised by adults.

The school decided to ban the spinner for a few weeks. This annoyed a lot of the kids but some thought it was good. Carlie, one of the students says “When the spinner was banned, I thought it was for the safety of the kids”. Lilly, another student, says that she thought that it was for safety and she predicted that the spinner was coming back. Lilly was correct. After a few weeks, the school put the spinner back.

Now, there is a monitor for the spinner and a limited amount of people allowed on. This is better than the way they did it before the school banned the spinner because it is safer, and as fun as the one before.

Why do I like cheese so much? Well, I like cheese because of its taste. I have a lot cheese favorites. These are the cheeses I like the most: (They are the Roquefort, the Muenster, and the Camenbert)

These are not ALL of the cheeses I like but they are part of the really-like-and-have-to-have-it group of cheeses. As people say, France is the home of cheese and I, as a matter of fact come from France! I go there every Summer and go to a  very-packed-with-cheese cheese shop. There is a window  on the floor that leads to a cheese cave where GIGANTIC cheeses are found:

I really love cheese because it is fresh and salty and at the same time, tasty, and I REALLY, REALLY cheese!

I think the new bridge was the focus of the title “Bridge to Terabithia”. One example is that Leslie swung on the old rope and since it was old, it fell. That was how Leslie died. Jesse wanted to build a more stable bridge so that nobody would die again if it ever rained a lot. Another example is that since the old way to get to Terabithia was gone, Jesse had to build a new one. This time it was a bridge, not a rope. These examples show that the new bridge was the focus of the title “Bridge to Terabithia”.

This year, we studied a lot of information on Colonial life. I was specifically interested in slaves. The class had to do informational books on subjects. I was fascinated by how slaves were treated and I learned a lot of information I never knew before. I studied a lot using compare and contrast techniques and did a lot of hard work. After a lot of effort, work, and editing, I was finally finished with my whole informational book!

I hope you enjoy my book and learn a lot of things!

Justin is very curious about small things. He likes to think about things that are very small like how the teacher looks at him when he is thinking about something that happened in his life and how Noah reacts to how Justin makes a new friend. He thinks about how people like Penelope Ann Murphy react to what he did which was he told his mother how Penelope stole her mother’s Ballet shoes for a school project. He thought about how Montana C. stood up for him while Penelope was crying about what he did. Justin thinks mostly about what people do or say and how people react to what he says or does.

It’s a brand new school year! I’m super excited! I also miss my old teacher. This year is a bit like last year on Fridays because we don’t get any homework on that day except for reading! I am also very excited for the special events this year! My teacher is super funny and she says sometimes that she is really crazy! We have already done so many projects so far. My teacher loves books especially books by Kate DiCamillo! I love my fourth grade teacher!
