This week we did our Word Parade. I was elegant: it means to be pleasingly graceful and stylish in appearance or manner. We went to two different classes and the office. I was nervous and excited at the same time. I thought everyone did a great job! I wish we could do this again.
This week in class we learned all about Marco Polo.He was a famous merchant.Marco became famous because he wrote in his journal.He wrote all about his travels in his journal.Marco his father and uncle traveled to China on the Silk Road,they brought back many beautiful silks and gems.Unfortunately he died at the age of 70, which is really old for back then.He died of a disease because they didn't have good medicine back then.
This week we presented our Power Point presentation's on nonfiction books. I did hippo's, but other people did things like robots, the Titanic, lizards, pandas, owls, giraffes, camels, and phones! There are bunch, because that's not all! They were all great. I liked them all!
This week in writing we have been working on our Personal Essays. We did surveys to prove our thesis statement. We need three things to prove our point in each sentence with three paragraphs so that's nine sentences in total, its not too long and I think its perfect.
This week in Health we were learning about calories and fat.We were learning about how to find the amount of fat in a certain item. Say you got a cookie and it had 10 grams of fat you would divide the number of grams by 5 to get the amount 2 teaspoons. It may not sound look like much but if you use baking fat to measure it out it looks disgusting. Say you went to Burger King. You could get a Double Whopper with cheese a large fry and a small shake. That is a total of 2,060 calories and 23 teaspoons of fat. That is alot.
