The Weak Flower

     Up top in a little flower was a whole nest of bee's. These bee's were no ordinary  bee's they were the weakest bee's you could find. The other ones would laugh at them. They would collect the pollen and the weak bee's would get to eat  the pollen that they collected so they had to do no work whatsoever.

     "Hey pipsqueek can you go grab me some of that pollen Buzz."

     "Ummmmmmmmmm Beatrice I don't know if I should do that I'm one of the weak bee's." Buzz said. But for all your readers information Buzz had the biggest crush on Beatrice. Later in the hive, The momma bee was resting because of what she had been thru the whole day, 100 bee's died from stinging humans and 20 bee's died from getting in big tough fights with wasps. But just to be clear the wasps were the bee's enemies you would think that they would help each other out but they really hate each other.

     That night Billy the strongest bee in the nest went to the weak flower. He sneaked into Buzz's room put honey onto his lip and then put feathers over it so it would look like a mustache he also put pants on him, but by the way when your a human it's embarrassing to not wear pants but when your a bee it's embarrassing to wear pants. When poor Buzz woke up in the morning he got out of bed and everyone started laughing he looked at the people laughing the most, Beatrice and Billy it was very embarrassing for Buzz. When the momma bee came in to see al this noise Billy walked up to momma be and said,

     "In the morning all I did was walk in and saw Buzz in the weak flower with a mustache and pants."

     "Buzz is this true?"

     "NO IT'S NOT I WOKE UP IN THE MORNING AND WHEN I WALKED IN EVERYONE STARTED LAUGHING AT ME!!"

     "For some reason I think this has to do with you Billy."

     "Okay, okay I admit I put that stuff on Buzz Bit it was just a joke."

     "It's not a joke!" momma bee said "How would you feel if you were Buzz?"

     "UMMMMMM..............I would feel... WEAK."

     "Okay fine you would feel weak wouldn't you? From now on you and Buzz will switch places, Buzz will be in the strong group and YOU Billy will be in the weak flower."

    "UM I DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA MOMMA BEE I'M NOT SO STRONG!"

     "Yes I know that's how you will prove your bravery  and smartness."

     For the next 3 months Buzz hadn't been in the weak flower. He wasn't invisible anymore, Now instead of Billy being the "Strongest" Bee in the hive Buzz was the strongest, Fastest and smartest but most of all the most confident.

Trimester Reflection 3

     I have enjoyed so many things. The first that I enjoyed the most was being Mrs. A's student. Another example is Writing. Writing is my favorite because I feel like that's one of the things I was born to do. I love love loved making prezi's, powerpoints, posters and many more projects. What made me really happy was when Mrs. A checked off my work and said I passed.

     What I think was hard was keeping up with all my classmates. Also Having a time period for work so I'm pressured. Lastly, I did not like math but over the months I have grown into it. I grew into it because Mrs. A helped me and never gave up on me.

     I am very excited for summer. I am going to camp stone. I also get to see my brother who I haven't seen in a whole entire year. But what I'm most thinking about is going to MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!

No Space but A Lot of Soccer

     

There was a group of boys that watched soccer on their little T.V. One of the boys had an idea.They thought it was a very good idea.

The Idea

The boy’s idea was to make a soccer team. But did I mention they lived on a floating island in Thailand and space can be hard to find.

Space

They had to have somewhere where they can play to play. So they made a soccer field, but the soccer field had nails sticking out of it and water all over it so it was very slippery.

The Flyer

One of the boys came in with a flyer. On the flyer it had a soccer ball. The headline was soccer tournament. They didn’t know if they should do it… But they did.

1^st

On their first game they won 2-0. They were better than they they thought they would be. They were very proud even though there were disbelievers.

2^nd

They lost their 2^nd game. They tried really hard. But because it was raining they took off their shoes they were still proud. But the disbelievers turned into believers.

Independence

     In our class we are doing something called Independence. Independence is wpretend that we were in the war. My team is the loyalist it's not the best side but it's still fun, I think you can geuss the next team obviously a patriot. Josh is the chair person. We get to answer questions about the revolutinary war.

     I have enjoyed Being my character mostly because My character's personality is I am afraid of indians. It's been hard to be able to answer all the questions because I don't know everything. I have also enjoyed being in congress because it's like a real debate.

What do you think? 

John Adams

        John Adams helped in the revolutionary war. He helped us win. John Adams was the 1^st vice president and the 2^nd president. He was a hero because he was against taxes and ked meetings about out it he also was very happy when the British went down. You may be asking why is he a hero, well according to Worldbook.online, “John Adams was the 1^st vice president to live in the white house.” Also, “In the 1770’s the people in Boston chose him as one of their representatives in the colonial legislature.” We all know John Adams was remembered by being president but also helping in the revolutionary war and he was very smart.

Shoshana's 2nd trimester

     I liked writing narratives. I like them because my favorite subject is writing. for example, My family always says that I have a gift. Write now I am in the middle of writing to books. I am very proud of myself. I did my narrative about my Uncle who died. I miss him a lot. I also liked writing my Literary essay. I liked it for the same reason as the narrative. I am also almost done with all of my blog posts cool right?

     I dislike math. I know you have to know how to do it when your older but it's just not my favorite subject. I don't like it because I wouldn't just do it for fun. Writing you can always do it for fun but I'm not so sure about math. I mean it's also hard. Maybe not for some people but for me it it's just annoying.

 What do you like and dislike?

Litmus Lozenge

     I don't agree agree with mrs. Franny. I think that life is never going to be like a Littmus Lozenge because I have never felt sweet and sad before, Its like saying that you can be happy and sad at the same time which I don't think is possible. I also am sure that there is no candy in this whole entire world that can make you have a feeling besides oh this tastes good or oh this tastes bad. Maybe that is true but it can't be oh I'm happy because this tastes good and oh I'm sad this tastes bad.


     I also agree with mrs. Franny. You can feel sweet and sad because maybe you're watching your favorite tv show but your stomach also hurts. Or you finally finish your book but now you have to start a new one. these are just a couple examples that I chose. The fact is who really knows if it's true or false if YOU want to find out ask Mrs. Franny. I wish I could

Because of my uncle Self reflection

     I enjoyed writing. I enjoyed this because It's my favorite subject. I also enjoyed writing this story about my Uncle who passed away about 7 years ago. I liked it because I looked up to him until he died. My favorite part about this project was that you can right it about anyone you want that was close to you or was a really good friend. I was going to do it about my brothers but I chose someone who I was so close to that I just couldn't take it.

     I don't think I didn't enjoy anything. When you right about someone you really cared about whats to not enjoy. was only one thing I didn't like and that was when I was at the end of writing my Narrative and I got to the part when he died. It just makes me sad to think about him but I loved him to much not to. I always was in love with him the day I actually could start to talk and understand words.

Has This Ever Happened To You?

Because of Winn-Dixie Self Reflection

     I enjoyed writing the Essay because I felt like I was the author of the book. It felt as if it took over my brain when I was writing it. I also enjoyed Sharing it with my friend Emma who I did peer revising with. She gave me all 3 or 4 scores which is really good. I enjoyed all of these things because my FAVORITE subject is writing. I like writing because whenever I'm in the middle of writing something whatever I think about what I'm writing I get so overcontrolled and just right it and it turns out great!

     I think writing it on the computer was hard because I get so excited and I may type fast but not fast enough for myself. I also think revising it is really hard because right when you think your done even one you're not and you have to start writing and adding more stuff to it when you thought it was perfect. I did not enjoy revising it because I thought it was perfect in my head and it's always harder to add  more but in the end that is what is really perfect but it's still annoying.

Because of my Uncle

      My uncle is a very nice person. He loved everyone. He also could not stand my mom’s guacamole. He always thought it was missing an ingredient. I always looked up to him. Literally he was really tall. He had brown hair. Then he got old so he got grey hair. You may think that I mention something more than once let that be sign that it was important. This is a story about him.

     It was one night at my house with all the chairs tucked in ready at the table with the food on everyone’s plate when my Uncle saw my mom making guacamole. He just couldn’t resist. He grabbed the salad dressing and poured it in the bowl and mixed it around. By the time my mom got back everyone had a grin on their face and was chuckling. My mom turned around and saw my uncle roar with laughter. She looked in the bowl with guacamole and saw the salad dressing and she started giggling to.

My uncle said, “What’s done is done!” and that was the end.            

     A few weeks later my uncle came in for dinner one night and brought salvo (my brother) a magnet with his name on it. At that time I was looking around the house thinking wow those chairs have nice patterns and those lights are very bright. A minute later I was crying my head off. (I was 3)

I was screeching, “IT’S NOT FAIR!!!!!!” Every second.

MY dad walked over and said, “Its okay I will get you one.”

“NO!” We all stared at our uncle. “It is not okay to be jealous.” I stopped crying I stopped crying and just stared. “Okay?” He said.

“OKAY!” I said with a jolly voice. After that we put the magnet on the fridge and I smiled so wide as if I got a toy I wanted my whole life.

     My uncle also makes people laugh when they are sad. My brother came home from school with a glum face. My uncle asked him what was wrong

My brother said,” I don’t want to talk about.” So my uncle started telling jokes, and my brother started laughing. Once again my uncle has made someone smile.

     My uncle would go to his neighbers house every morning. He would talk to them, tell them jokes and make them smile. Cause that’s what he loved to do. They tell him that they were the best jokes. Because they were.

     My neighbors noticed that he wasn’t going to their house in the morning. He had fallen asleep and never woke up. My uncle Salvo had died. When we found out we were devastated we didn’t know what happened all we felt was sadness and despair. We try not to think about it anymore but it’s hard not to. I was only 4 years old. He taught me to feel confident and happy and never sad I’m still working on it but it will kick in at one point. He is the one that taught me to believe In myself and that’s how it will stay for the rest of my life. 

Because of Winn-Dixie

     Everybody needs a home. In because of Winn-Dixie By Kate DiCamillo Winn-Dixie helped Opal be able to talk to someone about her life besides her dad. Opal helped Winn-Dixie have a home, this helps Winn-Dixie because he used to be homeless. They both help each other because they both are missing a part of their family so they need new family members. It’s because of Winn-Dixie that Opal has new friends. It’s because of Opal that Winn-Dixie has new friends. It’s because of both of them that they have new family.
     Opal learned a lot about friendship with Winn-Dixie and Opal learned about friendship with people she didn't even like. You can make friends whenever you want to you just have to find some. Here are some examples of how Opal and her friends can make new friends. Opal would say you can be friends with someone if you try. Amanda’s little brother died so she always had a pinch face, Opal didn't know that Amanda’s brother died so she always thought Amanda was snotty. Amanda would say even if something sad happened to you that doesn't mean you can't have a friend on your side. Amanda needed someone on her side because everybody thought she was mean, snotty and pinch faced so no one was on her side. Dunlap & Stevie would say maybe if you are mean to someone that means you want a friend. They were really mean to Opal because she was new but in the end Stevie was  trying to be nice but his brother Dunlap didn't want him to so Stevie was trying to be nice while he was mean. Just remember someone is always on your side.
     When the book was over it seemed as if the whole town was Opals friend. Especially Winn-Dixie who is part of the town and Opals family. Gloria was Opals friend and she always told her it’s okay to make mistakes. This is important because if you make a mistake and you keep blaming yourself and you never forgive yourself then who knows how it will turn out. Mrs. Franny was Opals friend and she helped Opal how to feel sweet and sad at the same time with the Littmus Lozenge. A Littmus Lozenge is a sweet candy that Mrs. Franny’s Great Granddad made when he wanted a treat that tasted sweet and sad. Odus was Opals friend and he taught her that not everyone is a bad person. Odus said that because he got arrested for something he didn't want to be bad he did it to make people smile and he got arrested for it. Winn-Dixie was Opals friend and he always was on her side because she saved his life he could've put in the pound and he would have to suffer if it wasn't for Opal.
     Don't judge a person on how they look or act maybe they have something on their mind. Some point somebody judges you on how you look or act. Almost the whole world has that experience. Did this ever happen to you????

Moral of the story

     Hugo cabret is in trouble. When you steal stuff it does not end so well. In Hugo cabret Hugo realizes when you steal something you get caught eventually. For example, Well you have to read the book to find out. Hugo learns that it's okay to be friends with someone you don't exactly  know yet. therefore, He did not need to be so mean to Isabelle. I think that hugo could have been a teensy bit nicer. What do you think? If you read the book leave a comment.

     I think the moral of the story is don't judge a person on how they look. I think this because Hugo judged Isabelle on how she looked and who her god parents were. I don't think that is nice because he didn't even know her. Maybe he should have not doubted her in the first place and her with him. I think YOU would like the book. What do you thin?

Winn-Dixie

     I think the Preature changed because he used to be really safistakated. Even though he is still safistakated he is more fun. I think this because he used to be a person who would not make jokes during church but he made a joke about Winn-Dixie and the mouse that he caught. I also think he opened up his heart to Winn-Dixie. For exampl, he went out looking for him when it was pouring rain and they looked all around town. Lstly, I think that the Preature got more sensitive. I think this because he never used to talk about Opals mama but at the end he would talk about her a lot.

Reading Thinking with Evidence

     I am reading The Invention of Hugo Cabret Bye Brian Selznick. I like how in the book Hugo is a theif just to get Stuff for his machine. I don't like how papa gearges treats Hugo. I wonder why he treats him that way? I think that maybe papa gearges could treat Hugo better than that. My favorite part so far is the key. YOU will find out what the key is if you read the book.

     I think that Hugo is a nice boy but he should not steal stuff from other people. I wonder what the drawing is? Maybe if YOU read the book you will find out what it is. My other favorite part was when all the pictures scattered everywhere. I learned that if you need something really bad you still should not steal.

Islandwood

     My Islandwood experience was awesome.I met new friends such as Mia and Zack. We also learned about wildlife. I had such a good time. For example, I got to sit in the chair of wisdom. I also got to draw out a really cool tree that looked like a spider. Therefore, It was pretty fun to draw. More importantly, I got to do lots of fun art. Lastly, I had fun!

     My FAVORITE experience was meeting new people. My flied instructor Patricio But his nickname is Paco was really nice. I met new friends two. I really loved meeting Talia who is a girl that might come to our school next year. She is really nice + she got to sit with us for meals. My most favorite experience WAS  MEETING NEW PEOPLE!

Eco-columns

     Our class was learning about Eco-coloums. We got to make A mini Eco-columns. Inside of them they had fish and snails on the bottom part. There was also algae and some other plants. on the top part there was baby grasshoppers and we planted grass on the top.we got to feed the fish and my partner and I put our hand on the thing that held the fish and the fish followed our finger.

     I learned that everything relays on each other. When we were watching a video in class it said if you keep taking away animals all of them will die. the fish relay on the water and food. the grass relayed on soil and water. the snails relayed on the algae for food. I LOVED this project even though the fish died it was still really fun.

  

             Have you ever made a mini Eco-columns?

Trimester reflection

     I like writing and reading the most. I liked making mini Eco-coloums and feeding the fish in science. I really like leading the Assembly's. I also liked doing book buddies. Another example is, I like learning about different  writing skills. But most of all I LOVE writing narratives and fun fiction stories.

   Whats been challenging for me is math.I don't think anything else is really challenging. I am so good at writing and reading the only thing that is left is MATH. The thing that challenges me in math is fractions. Mostly everything else does not challenge me.
