Weekly Post

This week was a good week for me. I was focused in all subjects. I got moved from Nick, who was sitting next to me before. It was hard to sit next to him, he was not co-operating with me. Now I sit with Zach, Riya, and Breaan. We are a good group, because we don't talk to much. Riya is my new reading, writing, and maths partner.
In maths, we did some turning fractions in to decimals. Some times with calculators, sometimes with our minds. Regular fractions, graphic models, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 are some of the maths things that we did.
In social studies, we started the facing slavery subject. Now I know what the triangular trade route, and that Africa started it. We learned all the things about slavery, and the things that slaves had to do. On Monday, we started a three page worksheet. Also, next week, we have a vocabulary test.
In RLA, we did a persuasive essay, with all the new techniques. e.g. prognosticate, anecdote, rhetorical questions. That was due Friday. Also, we moved onto historical fiction, the books that Mr.Buxton are reading to us are, When My Name Was Keoko, and Freedom Summer. I got my first pizza slice today! Non-fiction. Also, for my reading log, I got a plus point! I think I did good on my essay, because I used many techniques. I completed the whole WILF. I also learned about character debates. (Traits, sayings, actions, relationships,and thinking.)
Thank you.

KWL- Digital citizenship

WHAT I KNEW:Today in technology I learned, about the dangers of social networking, and that you should never give away personal information. I also learned to only be friends with people on the internet that you know.
WHAT I LEARNED: Never click on weird advertisements, like: YOU ARE THE THOUSANDTH CUSTOMER! Click here to win your prize! Those can be viruses.This time, I did some SPAM missions. Now I know how to tell whether a email is SPAM or not. How to tell if someone is bad by what they say on the internet. If someone is bullying you on the internet, report them or ignore them.

This Weekend

This weekend, I have soccer practice on Saturday, and a tough Game against 3rd place Young Gunners on Sunday. (we are in 1st).
F1 in Abu Dhabi is happening this week, but the race and qualifying are at 9:00 PM.
The rest of the weekend, I intend to chill out at home.

Weekly Post

This week, my week was on and off. Sometimes I was off task, sometimes I was focused. This week we did a lot of persuasive writing techniques. We are going to start an essay. There are a couple new vocab this week. e.g: prognosticate means predict future. I am starting to critique my book soon. If I want to become a connecting reader, I'll have to do that. I read 45 minutes-an hour a day.
Imagine doing a math test, about division as we did this week. I think that I have a fear of tests, because I am fine in class, but I forget to check my answers. This unit, (unit 5) is about fractions. So far, I have learned improper fractions and mixed numbers. I am doing well in IXL, 8 hours 16 minutes. Mr.Buxton suggested me to do hard work on division, so that is what I am doing.
UN Day: UN Day's theme this year is trying to sell an author. We have to do a persuasive presentation o he whole Intermediate School!
On the bus, many issues are taking place. This girl, her name is Hollie, she always gets bullied. She and I are always the last people sitting at the back of the bus. She is in 3rd grade. When everybody is gone, I teach her how to make friends, and change. She changed a lot, because of me, and everyone is still bullying her. Cammile and I are on the same bus, so we are giving her nice gifts, and making her feel comfortable
Thank you.

Here is a powerplan if anyone needs one:

Slide 8

“Liberty is worth paying for” Says Jules Verne. His books sure are liberty, and this author is worth paying for. Remember, if you like science fiction, Jules Verne has the perfect stories that even come true someday!

This is my closing statement for the UN author presentation.

Remember that it has to be short.

FOR GROUP 2 UN DAY!

Weekly Post

Hi everyone, every week I will post a progress/learning/presentation/homework things.

This week I will start with goal progress. I am definitely reading faster, and making more inferences, and the other things. But I need to remember to do the book club. I think I raise my hand more, bet still shout. For my third goal, my chart is being filled, and I am coming up with more techniques. My last goal is going well. I am keeping my stuff organized.
This week my reading pizza is empty, but I am about to go earn one.
Now onto my very recent book club presentation. My group did the best out of all! We were the only group that  was in the skilled category. We had the most teamwork, and our work was equal. Our prezi showed everything that it was supposed to. We did a interview.
We had a test this week, I hope I did well. Also, we had a substitute for two days, Ms.Addicks. She taught us some stuff about vowels. We started the persuasive writing unit in RLA also.
Congrats to Riya, the student of the week, and Jacqueline for the blogger of the week.
What kind of personality, do you have? Put your comment on a post. Also remember to answer the poll!
Thanks! Alex Danielson, creator of this bog.

Book Club Presentation

Script

George:This is George Janke reporting to you live from the ABC News headquarters in New York City! Today we’ve got a live interview with Cassandra Day and Zoe Reisman about their new book, THE SCHOOL STORY. Now here is top reporter Alex Danielson with the scoop.

Alex: Hi everyone, my name is Alex Danielson, bringing you an interview of Natalie, and Zoe. The the two of you ,tell us a little about yourselves.
Breann: Hi, my name’s Natalie. I am twelve years old. I love writing. I live in New york city, and I have to walk all around it. My... Dad...died. But I’m not going to talk about that.
Sabine: I’m Zoe Reisman. i’m 12 too. I’m pretty much the best arguer I know, because I win every single one. My dad is a lawyer. I was Natalie’s agent for this project. My pseudonym is Agent Zee Zee Reisman. I love in-negotiating with people. As I said, I always win.
Alex: Of course you two collected help from other people. Who where they?
Sabine: Mrs. Clayton, of course. She’s the one that got us this far. Without her, we wouldn’t be here right now.
Breann: You forgot, Zoe. Your father! Without his help we wouldn’t be here either. He was the lawyer!
Alex: I heard it took a lot of effort to get this book published. Could you tell us more about that?
Breann: True. It took a load of work and perseverance. Mrs. Clayton, the helping adult, Mr. Reisman, the lawyer. Me, the writer, and of course, Zoe, the agent. She was brave enough to in-nagotiate with my mom’s horribly horrid boss, Letha Springfield. I would rather die than doing that!
Sabine: It’s true.
Breann: And Mrs. Clayton did a ton of stuff. She got us the office for all the work we needed to do. And she payed for it! Second, She helped us in our time of need. When we found out that
Letha, my mom’s boss, was going to edit it, we exploded with fear. But Mrs. Clayton gave us an idea. Thats when Zoe’s agument came in.
Alex: What is the experience of publishing a book? Many people out there want to know.
Sabine: Too complicated. There’s so much work to be done. But with the right help, an agent, you can do it. You just gotta try.
Breann: Ugh, Zoe. Always gotta point yourself out.
Alex: What do you think about when you see this book?
Breann: My dad and cheaters.
Sabine: The masterpiece of a 12 year old magician.
Alex: Zoe, why were you so very intended to get the books published?
Sabine: Well, you see. Just by reading one chapter, I could tell that this story was destined to get published. And would ya just LOOK at us now!

Alex: Lastly, When do you intend to publish another book.
Breann: WHOA there, slick. Don’t even get me STARTED on that!
Alex: (laugh)
Alex: Thank you very much folks, this is Alex Danielson from ABC Network interviewing Natalie Nelson and Zoe Reisman. This interview is finished, but news about this new great book, The School Story, is still to come. Back to you, George.
George: I’m interviewing Letha Springfield, former boss of Hannah Nelson.To start, Letha, could you tell me about yourself?
Rachel: I am an ex-chief editor of shipely Junior books. I’m really nice, from, well from my own perspective. I have a talent of being a writer... really more a editor. Don’t forget yelling at other people.
George: Well, I’m just wondering how you didn’t get the job for being editor of such a great book, The Cheater? You were ranked higher than Hannah Nelson.
Rachel: The Agent, that awful Zee Zee Reisman, said that she wouldn’t let Shipely publish the book unless Hannah was editor.
George: Harsh, why did you agree to that?
Rachel: well obviously this was such a great book and I didn’t want to waste a good opportunity so I had to give Hannah the job.
I sort of have to because she sort used to work for me. She editor and all I just think I’m better.
George: Okay then, Alex do you have anything to say?
Alex: nope, but we’re closing up. See you next time on ABC news.
