Partner Book Club Reflection

My favorite part of working in a partnership was being able to share ideas with each other and they actually knowing what I’m talking about. My second favorite part was being paired up with my friend so sometimes I could call her and we could work on are jots together.
The most challenging part for me was deciding on the reading. I usually wanted to read 25 pages and she wanted to read 15. So we had to come to a compromise. We ended up usually reading 18-25 pages every night. At the end it was pretty fun working with my friend and working in a book club.
My favorite book that I read with Sophia was “ Ways To Make Sunshine.” It was the most interesting book in my opinion. There were a lot of different characters and a lot of different things happening. Those types of books are my favorite kind of realistic fiction. My least favorite book was “ Meena Meets Her Match.” I didn’t really think anything interesting happened. The most interesting part was when she got seizure but they didn’t make it a big moment it was less then a page!
I think I was pretty good with my jots. I tried to expain my ideas and do different stuff everyday! Like predictions, retells, challenger sidekick and advisor, character web. Story mountain and a lot more stuff! It was sometimes hard to do two or three pages but I usually managed to do one sometimes two or three! At the end I enjoyed to jot.
In the books that I read with Sophia I didn’t really see any mirrors! I didn’t think any of the characters related to me. They all had a completely different life food illnesses and problems. Like in “Meena meets her match she got seizure and I don’t have a sizer. Another thing that is happening is she is in a big fight with her best friend and I am not. I don’t think I ever gotten in a fight with my best friend! Probably because she lives in new jersey and even though she lives in New Jersey I live with her for seven weeks every year and have a lot of play dates with Willa. Another book I can’t relate to is “Sleepover Squad.” Emily is not aloud to have a sleepover and i’m basically aloud to whenever I want. The last book I read with Sophia was “Ways To Make Sunshine.” My favorite book I read. She is moving into a new house well I am not. I there is only one mirror she can’t see her best friend a lot.
I think the most important part of working in a book club is being able to read your jots to someone who actually knows what your talking about, Reading what is agreed upon and being able to know that you will have time to read that much and I think the most important thing of working in a book club partnership is taking turns listening and talking. That’s what I really think is the most important parts of working in a book club partnership.
I learned that I enjoy working with someone. I thought it may be a little worse at first but at the end I actually really liked it. I learned a lot of thing by working in a partnership. I really really liked it!

Expert Book: Women’s College Basketball

I came up with “ Women College Basketball” because I was going to do one all about basketball. Then I decided to do it just with a few popular teams. It took me a few days to come up with Women’s College Basketball! I was watching a Stanford game against another college I do not remember. I think they won 99 to 84! I was expired! Then I did some of the other colleges I knew Pen state, Stanford,  Harvard, USB and Northwestern. In the end I decided to choose Stanford, Harvard and Penn State! I couldn’t wait to start jotting my ideas about each school.

I had to brainstorm the table of contents, chapters, slides, links, paragraphs, pictures and much more! It took me around three to two months doing everything! 

A few things were difficult for me. The thing that was the hardest for me was spelling everything correctly! I went over the whole entire book like 10 times! I tried to make it look really good and that meant the spelling should be correct. Another thing was hard was that I had two glossaries and I did the same pictures for both pages so then you can go back to the page you were on after you learned the word. But the pictures had to be at the same spot. That really made me struggle. The last thing that was difficult for me was editing, making everything look good. It was really hard for me!

I needed the most help with glossary linking in my glossary, adding pictures in my glossary and it really just made me struggle.

My favorite part of writing my expert book was just typing. I found it fun just to type what I’ve been working on for months. It was just fun to be putting down on the piece of paper. I like to type and I just like to just let things that I worked on for a long time go on a piece of paper with all my corrections. That was so fun for me!

During the process of writing my expert book. I fingered out that I was a pretty fast typer and liked to put pictures everywhere and add a lot of links. It was a fun, long and exciting process to talk about something that I liked a lot and knew a lot about. It was fun to be adding better and newer stuff to things that I know about. It was really fun.

I learned that I am pretty fast at typing and putting enough words and picture space and much more stuff I tried to fit everything. 

I felt amazing about my final project. I loved everything in my books the words, the pictures, the jokes, the links. I felt really good about everything. I felt really proud too. I tried my hardest and it felt really good about every part of the process. It was really fun. Everything that I did in my book I enjoyed. I hoped you liked my book.

This is my expert book.


Thank you for reading!

Maglev Reflection

In are original design are car had four striped magnets all around are train and one donut magnet in the middle. Are train track had two striped magnet and three donut magnets. I think it was really close are first try but what was holding us back was are constraints where we can only use ten magnets. We took away the donut magnets because the striped magnets were really powerful.We put the striped magnets closer to the edge and the train started to levitate!

 Are solution was, we used only four magnets, four strp magnets. We put it closer to the edge and it worked it started to levitate! We worked together and when are plans did’t work we did the engineer design process over and over and over until it worked. 

The hardest part for me was when we all had to decide what we should do to make it better. I liked that different people in my group liked to do different things so we all got to do what we liked to do. I liked to work with a group i think it was fun!

 

 

 

 

Personal Narrative Reflection

I think I use really good punctuation. Like when my grandma said “CHARLOTTE come here so we can pay for your ice cream,” or “I can’t wait, we’re only at scoop shop,” we took a sharp turn right with my hands swaying in the air.In every sentence I ether used periods, question marks, exclamation mark and much more.

Probably the hardest thing for me was editing. I liked my story just how it was. But I tried to edit the ending and I think I made it better. 

 

There’s No Bad Gummy

I can’t wait, we’re almost at Scoop Shop!”

We took a sharp turn right with my hands swaying in the air. I pushed open the car door as the car said, “You arrived at your destination.”

I looked left to right with a smile on my face. As we walked across the street my Grandpa said, 

“What are you going to get?’’

“Cookies and cream ice cream,” I said. 

 With a big push on the door I ran to get cookies and cream ice cream before anybody else did.

‘’YES!’’ I said with a big push on the lever. SWISH in a flash it was filled to the top.

Then I went to the toppings table. I took a big scoop of gummy bears while licking my lips.

 ‘’CHARLOTTE!’’ my grandma called, “Come over so we can pay for your Ice cream.” I hurried over.

“Thanks again for paying for my ice cream,”  I said with my eyes shimmering.

“My pleasure sweety,” my grandma said and handed me my ice cream.

 I took a big bite, “YUM!”  So I took another bite. This is heaven I thought. So I took another bite. “EWWWW!” I screamed. I was shocked I didn’t like it! So I decided to investigate. Red,blue  and…

“EWWWW!” I spit out the gummy. While sticking out my tongue. It was an icky, gooey ORANGE GUMMY!

I’m never going to have any gummy bear ever again, I thought. But the next day at my kitchen table,”I can’t believe I was actually going to give up on you, only the orange ones,” I muttered. I grabbed a big handful of gummy bears poking around to see if they were any orange gummy bears. I took a deep breath in and threw a pile of gummy bears into my mouth.

 

“Uhhhh so good “ and licked my lips.
