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.

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.

Power Plan

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!
