What I most enjoyed about the trip was that all the animals were super cute. Especially, the bunny and the hedgehog. Now, when I see some garbage on the ground as I am walking by, I won’t just walk past it, I will pick it up and put it in the trash can.
In school we have been reading “King George, What Was His Problem.” I like it because it teaches me a lot about the American Revolution, but also adds a little humor to it as well. The book makes me think about if all of these big and little events in the American Revolution didn’t happen, then nothing would be the same. A question that I have is that why did some of the soldiers of the Continental Army leave the army in the beginning, just because they were losing the war. If they had kept fighting, then maybe the Continental Army might have won the war quicker.
This is a political cartoon about The Midnight Ride, but Paul Revere stops to eat a snack while British soldiers pass him, therefore it is called “The Midnight Snack”.
I choose to do my political cartoon about this because I thought of all of the major events of the American Revolution and I chose The Midnight Ride. Then I thought about how I could add some humor to it, I came up with “The Midnight Snack”. I am doing this project in the perspective of a loyalist so I showed how Paul Revere did a bad job. This is what I came up with.
We have just started learning about the American Revolution. I have learned a lot of things these past couple of days, but what I’m most interested in learning more about is The Boston Tea Party. This is because I find it interesting that the colonists would take that risk and get rid of SO much tea!
When I created a colony poster, I learned not to use very many words, and that each person in the colony has something different to say about it, depending on what job they have. When I made my colony, I learned to work together and listen to everyone else’s ideas, since we worked in a group. I also learned that since I was working on the Southern colony, my group and I needed to include things that you would’ve found in the Southern colonies. My poster connects to my colony because I mention that we have very successful crops, and we put lots of crops on the colony. Also, I mention cotton tobacco and corn, and in my colony, we put lots of those crops on it.

After finishing the book “Wonder,” one thing that I’m holding onto and going to remember is that sometimes things can happen that you’re not expecting to happen. You may think that you can’t possibly get an award, but then, you get the best award! Always believe it’s possible because it is, if you try hard enough.
I think Charlie’s wish is for her family not to be so broken up. Her dad’s in jail and her mom isn’t taking care of her so she had to move to Colby to live with her aunt and uncle. I think this because because Charlie said that she wishes for the same thing every time, and her family has been broken up for a long time. She keeps on wishing for the same thing because her family is still broken up.
I made an infographic about an explorer. My explorer is Leif Eriksson. In this project, I had to gather facts about Leif Eriksson on a padlet. Then, I had to take that information and put it into an infographic. An infographic is a way to show information in pictures too. It took a lot of editing, but it was really fun.

Here it is…
What I liked most about Teatown was the sand table because I liked playing with the sand. Also because it was cool that the higher you put the sand, the more colors it changed. I also liked that when you put your hand over the sand table, blue color appears on the sand, acting as water. 🙂
Land and water are connected because all the chemicals that people use on land, when it rains, all the chemicals run off into the ocean, lakes and rivers 🙁 . For example, oil leakage from car accidents and oil from factories. Another way land and water are connected is because when trees are pulled up, the dirt is scattered on the ground. When it rains the dirt gets in bodies of water.
I think each group should spend a little bit of time at each lake or pond. That way, if one body of water is more interesting than another one, everyone gets a chance to see it. I also think that kids should get to do more interactive things when you look at the lake or pond.
This Read Aloud Reflection is the 3rd in a series of posts about the book Wonder.
Halloween is a positive thing for Auggie because everyone wears a mask. This way, nobody can judge you by the way you look. The people who see you can get to know you first. But when Auggie starts to put on his costume, he suddenly feels like he doesn’t want to wear it anymore. I think that ever since Summer told him that she thinks her costume is too dorky, Auggie has been thinking about the bad things about his costume. His costume still smells like paint, it is hard to put on, and his mom had to fix the costume into looking like Boba Fett since there weren’t any in the store. 🙁
