No one is perfect, so here are things to work on.

• Stop putting my hands on the floor
• Keeping my back straight

Tell me in the comments below, what I could work on because I'm not good at crunches.

Message for Wonder

It took us about 4 months to read Wonder. We would read it during read aloud. Mrs. Clayton would read it or we would listen to it on the computer. Whenever we listened to the computer, we would be on our computer "chatting" on Today's Meet. I really enjoyed Wonder because we can relate to problems that August (Main Character) has. August has a lot of bullying problems and he has a problem worse than bullying, he has a deformed face. Wonder is about his first year of school. 

I think that the message of the story is don't judge someone by how they look. At the beginning of the story, August was being picked on by other 6th graders because of how his face was deformed. Some students thought that he was stupid because this is his first year of being in a school. Before school started, Mr. Tushman got 3 students to tour August around the school. One of them started telling August, "This is an eraser, this is a pencil...". Students act like he is like sticky cheese, like in Diary Of A Wimpy Kid. Instead of the "cheese touch", it was called the plague. August was like the cheese, so all his friends would have the plague. They just made this up because he looked like he wasn't right for this school.

That is why I think that the message of Wonder don't judge someone by how they look. Next time you go into a library, check out Wonder By R.J. Palacio. I am sure you will enjoy it!

Title:The Tiger Rising

The Tiger Rising is AMAZING! A book filled with a lot of adventure. At level S and is a great book for grade 4, 5, and 6. The Tiger Rising has the best setting ever, a school and a motel. Children can relate to thing that happen in this book. This book is filled with danger, so do not try things in the book at home. You have to read it!

Shh!

Over the past few weeks, Mrs. Clayton and us were working on our persuasive writing pieces. We worked so hard and finally got it done. In this essay, I will be persuading you to lower your volume during bus rides.

 Some things that I think I did well is using repetition. I think that because I used it throughout the essay. In one of my paragraphs, I used repetition only. Another thing I think I did well is adding lots of mini stories.

 Things to work on can be to use more transition words. I only spotted some transition words in the beginning of paragraphs. I also might want to work on including facts to my essays.

I hope you all enjoy my essay!

UN Day Celebration

UN day is here. Each class was assigned to make a project that was shown on the UN day celebration. This is the video my and Mr.D's class made together which we used for the UN Celebration at the auditorium. There were many enjoyable presentations that were made by other classes. If you are wondering which author I was working on, it was the first one, Gary Paulsen. Hope you enjoy!
