Fantasy Reading Unit

We are about a week and a half not the fantasy reading unit. Basically it is a span of five weeks were we are only reading fantasy books. I decided to read the rest of the Heroes Of Olympus series. From book 3 to 5. I have finished book three in the series and I am about halfway through the my second book. I plan on finishing it by Saturday this week. I don’t remember exactly were I left of but I think I am around chapter 26. After we finish each of our books we have to write an analytical paragraph. It is basically just a mini essay. We also have a grade read aloud called Maximilian fly. I think it is a pretty good book. And I have come up with a lot of theories. So until next post, bye.

Due to this the leaders of Russia and America Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill himself got the nickname the big three. And he was the first to be by France is side when fighting.

Bye Bye Plastic Bags

I thought the book of the month one plastic bag by Miranda Paul had a very smart idea. The people recycled plastic bags and turned them into purses and that helped Gambia. My favorite part was when they made the purses with the plastic. Image result for one plastic bag

We also watch a ted talk on plastic bags. Were two girls talked about how they started to end plastic bags. They made two campaigns that helped stop plastic bags. The two girls are from Bali and they accomplished their goal one year ahead.
