My New Macbook Air!

Macbook Air

How would you feel if you woke up and remembered that you had to go to boot camp? Excited or sad? Well when I woke up on the day I had to go to boot camp, I was really excited. Why? Because it was computer boot camp! This year every student was given their own macbook air from the school to use for the year. It’s a big responsibility because the school won’t fix the computer if it gets damaged, you have to fix it yourself. We went to all our classes like it was a normal day but instead of learning RLA or science, you would learn about blogging and laptop care. My favorite class was math, because we learned how to use google chrome and google calendar.

In 5th grade, I thought that the macbook wasn’t something you would use everyday and you wouldn’t have such a big responsibility. Last year, the teacher would remind us to charge out macbook pros and we’d leave them charging till the next day. This year, we have to remind ourselves to charge the laptop and put it in our bag before we leave for school. In these two days I learned about how much of a responsibility we have to have this $1000 machine. I also learned about how cool it is to use google calendar. My math teacher taught us this app. She would have us drive the projector to show everyone how to fix problems people came across with the app. That was fun.

Now I learned that having a macbook air is really cool and is a huge responsibility. This learning will impact us in the future. It will help us be more responsible and discover what’s in this new technology and more. I think that the macbook airs will help us a lot with our learning like helping us be more organized and answering our questions.

Kangaroos and Tasmanian Devls

Here it is, the last writing piece for the year. It's about Kangaroos and Tasmanian Devils. This was an independent writing piece which we had to complete in about a week. I choose to do a non-fiction because I liked Pages and just doing it. One problem was that I kind of forgot how to publish a pages doc on the blog. So I checked my previous non-fiction and remembered how to do it. This time around, publishing the pages doc wasn't hard. I really enjoyed writing this non-fiction.

Juan Ponce De Leon

How would you feel if you didn’t achieve your lifelong goal?

How would you feel if you lost your right hand? Juan Ponce De Leon experienced not achieving a lifelong goal and only having one hand.

Juan Ponce De Leon was a brave spanish man. He was a man who lead groups and governed multiple areas. Juan Ponce De Leon has changed and made important differences to Spain. Juan Ponce De Leon changed Spain by killing the Muslims, the leaders of Spain during that time. The muslims had been ruling spain for over 700 years. Spanish people wanted to rule Spain, it was their country! Juan Ponce De Leon also discovered the Gulf Stream in 1513, which was the quickest way to return to Europe from the west. Juan Ponce De Leon was a leader. He was a leader in the Spanish conquest of the Americas. He also became governor of Puerto Rico in the 1500s. Juan Ponce De Leon went on an adventure and found Florida. Sadly he got shot by an arrow and died thinking that Florida was an island, but it wasn’t. Juan Ponce De Leon’s actions changed Spain. He was a leader and discovered places. He is a man to remember.

In life, everyone has at least one struggle. No one’s perfect! Juan Ponce De Leon had struggles during his life. Something he struggled with was losing his right hand! So he had to learn how to type with ONLY one hand. Not only that but he couldn’t do things that need two hands. That is crazy for an explorer. Juan Ponce De Leon also had to fight Native Americans that were on Hispaniola, an island he discovered. Luckily, he got his island back. Another thing that was a struggle for Juan Ponce De Leon was that he didn’t find the Fountain Of Youth. He was searching for this Fountain for a long time. People believe that the Fountain Of Youth would heal the sick and injured. Something good about that was that he discovered many more islands when he was looking for the Fountain! Juan Ponce De Leon had many struggles that he overcame and didn’t overcame. When he struggles, he’ll solve his problems. Sometimes he overcomes his struggles and other times he doesn’t. That’s normal.

Being in Juan Ponce De Leon’s shoes is a bit of a challenge. His life was full of challenges. Juan Ponce De Leon lost his right hand, if I were in his shoes, I’d be really bummed. It would give me limitations like only typing with one hand (if computers were invented in the 1400). Also riding a horse while holding a sword would be hard because you need one hand for the sword, and one hand for controlling the horse. Basically, I couldn’t do things that requires 2 hands. Another thing he went through was that he didn’t find the fountain of youth. If I were him, I’d be sad because it was my lifelong goal and I never achieved it. It’s like planning to climb Mt. Everest and suddenly an avalanche occurred right when you were climbing. Those 6 or 7 years of training is wasted. Now you know how I’d feel if I was Juan Ponce De Leon, it’s challenging.

As you can see, Juan Ponce De Leon faces many difficulties like losing a right hand and not achieving a lifelong goal. He also changed Spain, he helped kill the muslims to make Spain a independent country. Juan Ponce De Leon also found the Gulf Stream, a quicker route back to Spain. He shall not be forgotten.
