Today In my class we were working on pie charts. But we were doing samples with skittles. We each had ten and it was our sample. The first one down below is the the less accurate one because if the sample is larger then it is more efficient. This is the other chart - the class chart where ten people from our class add up how much skittles they had and put it in that color for example the ten people had 32 in total. We would put that in our class sample. Here is the other one.

Last week in school my class did a week of tests! It was called the Iowa Assessment. I think I did pretty bad on vocabulary. I also think that reading was probably what I did the best on. I think that math was kind of a good subject and I'm probably gonna get a decent score. And the tests were also timed. Most of them were 30 minutes. There were one or two that took 35 minutes and each day there were about two tests.
The last couple days I've been building a crystal but it isn't really one because it's man made. Anyway when I made this crystal I used these ingredients: Borax, Wide-mouth glass jar, pipe cleaner, string, pencil, scissors, boiling water, food coloring, tablespoon, and an adult assistant. I made my crystal yellow and it turned out pretty good. Then my class observed it and it was kind of cool. Then that same day when I brought that home I did something called shrinky - dinks. It was where you draw a picture on a piece of plastic then when your done you cook it and it shrinks it and it's really cool. I made a Christmas tree and fireworks. Here is the picture of me (I look cool right?) with the shrinky - dink and my crystal :)
These last couple days I've been working on a Persuasive writing piece. Mine was called "Kids Should Have A Phone" I had five paragraphs. The first paragraph was my thesis which tells what I know directly about this. My other three were body paragraphs or why I thought kids should have a phone. Then my final paragraph was a conclusion. Here is my Persuasive writing below. Hope you enjoy :) For the past few days I've been working on a project on World War 2. It was a very intense battle and the project was on an Animoto and here it is below. But the project had to be on the two different perspectives of the war so first up is the allies then the axis and have fun and learn :) Click to set custom HTML #Bookitfoward is a thing where you send a book that inspired you and give it to a person who wants the book. The book that I was inspired by was Wonder Rj Palacio. The book inspired me because it really teaches bullies what bullies really are. And also learn this. Never judge a boy by his face. It's always better to like them for their personality not their face. In the book it talks about a bully who does really mean things to a kid named Augie. It helped me understand what it really means to be a bully and to be a kid who always gets made fun of because of their face. But it showed me how mean and aggressive a kid could be to a kid and if you read it you would understand how sad it would be for a kid to be made fun of and always being called bad names. But I hope this taught you all a lesson of a bully and a kid being made fun of because of his face. But this is basically what I chose for my BookItFoward book. But thanks for reading this and I hope this inspired YOU to read this book and to do #Bookitfoward :) AND HERE'S THE BOOK TRAILER BELOW :) AND THE PICTURE OF THE TITLE This is a thing I did on John White and it was about him and it was a journal entry and it had two of them and it was pretty like a diary except it talks about him and gives info about him too and here it is below.July, 13, 1587
I, John White was chosen to be a captain by Sir Walter Raleigh. Then I chose wisely and picked skilled workers and I felt confident about it. Then later that year I went back to England to get some supplies and because England was fighting Spain my ships were not allowed to return to the colony. But I must go now, I need my supplies. June, 21, 1590 Three years later in 1590 I returned to Roanoke and I didn’t find any settlers even their houses were gone. The word Croatoan was carved on a gatepost of a ruined fort and before I could search the area the weather turned bad and I could not search the area, but I believed the settlers might have moved to the island of Croatoan or they might’ve joined an American Indian group with that name. I had a feeling of shock and I wasted my time and got supplies for nothing but I never thought something like this would’ve happened and it surprised me very much. But I must end this journal entry, I have to tell people about this and get away from this weather but again I didn't know this would happen. For my thanksgiving weekend there were actually a lot of interesting things. First my cousin came to my house and we ate a turkey but unfortunately the turkey wasn't fully cooked and my cousin left before we could eat it. Next it was Friday, black Friday. I finally got a mic after the other ones were broken and my brother got a controller that's red and lights up. And the best thing that happened was that I was getting a new TV on Wednesday. It's not only a normal lame TV its a voice control one and kind of like a computer because believe it or not you can actually get Netflix and all that cool stuff and that also means I get to have more time to play video games in my other old TV. Then Saturday and Sunday were pretty much normal days. I woke up early and played video games all day I also noticed my dad working in the house and the rest of the day was normal. Until when I woke up on Sunday I realized it was the last day before my weekend ends and I go back to school and study and stuff like that so when my brother woke I realized I played for only an hour and I knew that wasn't enough time but like always I was nice and gave the controller to him and after that I couldn't play my console anymore because I realized my parents never let me play during the day and only let me play in the morning but then I got over it and that's how my weekend was like. for more information go to
for my social studies unit I was learning about three different English settlements and so eventually I did a project on it and here it is below. Click to set custom HTML My weekend was kind of fun. I went to Kansas City to play a soccer tournament which I will explain later. But for now i'll talk about what happened when I was driving to Kansas City. It was kind of normal actually but very uncomfortable in my car because we had lots and lots of stuff packed up in a van. I brought my computer which was on my lap. I also went to sleep but not for so long. I woke up at about... (I really don't know what time it was) but when I woke up I saw my parents stopping the car and going to star bucks without me! Well it was because I was fake sleeping at that time. But when they came back I just went back to sleep. We finally stopped but not at a hotel. We stopped at the soccer complex where my brother and I were playing. (I thought I was playing but i'm gonna get to that in a second) When we were there my brother was already in his soccer clothes and we started walking to his field while my mom and I were going to my field but when we went there no one in my team was there. It took us about ten minutes when my dad finally called and he told us that my soccer game was actually at NIGHT!! I was shocked because I've never played at night. So we went to the car and I relaxed for a while until my soccer game came which was in the morning because I had two soccer games that day. After the game ended it was about one to 7. My team lost. After that my brother had his next game and he lost that game. (by the way my brother lost his first game too.) So after that game we finally went to our hotel. My sister and my dad went in the hotel to talk to the dude to give us a room. We got our little key ticket thing and went to our room. We went in and I closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes I was so shocked. It was big. All the other hotels I went to was the size of a bedroom but the one I was in had a living room a kitchen and a bedroom. And the hotel had two T.V's! We relaxed until my final game for the day came. And we lost again :( Then we went to sleep in the hotel and woke up early the next day and we were heading to my brothers game. But before that we had breakfast. And the breakfast was good too. Anyway we went to the soccer complex and I just stayed in the car the whole time. When my brother came back he told me he lost his game again. And it was his last game. Then it was my turn to have my game. And we lost. But I tried my best. Then we went back to my real home and the way back was normal. We slept in the car we were uncomfortable and it was pretty much the same thing as we went to Kansas. But when the night was here I saw so much beautiful stuff. They were all beautiful. Then I saw on another lane (which was the lane to Kansas) there was traffic. It was so huge. Man were we lucky we weren't going to Kansas. Then after that everything was normal. We finally reached home and we put on our clothes to sleep, brushed our teeth and um normal stuff like that. But that's all that really happened this weekend. PEACE.
