Have you ever been disappointed by your school? Will the principal or teachers not listen to you?Then come to Greenbriar. Greenbriar is a school where the students have updated supplies. And best of all, we have nice teachers.
Updated supplies like computers are very important. They are important, because they let you access blogs. Blogs are great tools for writing, because you can write more in less time when you type. Typing lets me express my ideas much quicker than with a pencil and paper. This means that I won’t just have the opinion of my partner I can talk to someone in Germany. Then you can get different comments that will help make your writing better. This makes you learn more, which is the point of school.
Nice teachers are crucial for all schools. They are important because if the teacher isn’t nice you will be focused on the teacher (not your work). In all situations this is bad because then you can’t do your best work. If this happens you will get bad grades. Then comes angry parents and teachers.
Now that I have told you this I hope you will think twice about the school your child goes to. Maybe even have them go to Greenbriar.

In class I read a story about a family that was having difficltys with life in Russia. These problems were pogroms, these are groups of people that attack and kill people. In addition to that one of the family members had to go to war. This was very bad because there were very bad conditions.
They soon decided to get out of Russia and sail to America.That is what they did. The trip was difficult, but they finally made it. Sadly their trip was not over, they had to take a fairy to Elis Island. There they would be checked for serious diseases, if a very bad disease was found that person would be sent back without any family.
When they got to their "house" they found it very small.Sadly that isn't even the worst of it, the ,men had to work at sweatshops. They weren't well payed well even though woking hours were long.Overall the Markowitz family enjooyed their new life in America.

This week I also finished up ISATs. If you have never heard of them the n now you will learn.They are big tests in the end of February and the beginning of March. In many ways they can be scary and annoying but they aren't that bad. Those were the most interesting thing I did this week.

This week I was sick on Monday and Tuesday, on Thursday a half a day and on friday no school!! During this week I did a lab in math, it was about volume. We would fill up a graduated cylinder, put marbles in the water and measure the displacement.
We also did art, in art we made clay pots and carved ancient Egyptian people on the pot. We were only were allowed to use black paint because we were trying to draw like Egyptians.I had a lot of fun doing this project, I think you should try it.Tell me how it turns out!
That is what I did on this very very short week at my marvelous school, Greenbriar. Maybe you could try to do the lab at home or talk to your teacher about doing it in class.Have a great time!!

While reading the last chapters of Frindle I was wondering about the part when Nicks father's friend offers a deal. Part of the deal is that however much money the friend makes off of frindles Nick get 30% of it. The other part of the deal was that Nicks dad would have to give the friend permission to use the word frindle on the pens that he sells.
Now, I was wondering why the friend would be so generous to give Nick so much money. I was also wondering why only one of Nick's friends were shown in detail when he was said to have a lot of friends.That is the entire book of Frindle.

In class we are reading chapters 9 through 11 in Frindle. While reading these chapters I was wondering why a reporter wrote about the new word,(also the name of the book)Frindle.This reporter wrote about this like it was a war between dictionary followers and Nick's followers. I would be on Nicks because it would be fun but challenging. It gets way more interesting but that part is in chapter 12.I'll keep you posted!

Stranger Danger

At my school there was a stranger danger warning and my friend and I were the cause of it. One day at recess my friend and I were playing by the fence when an odd car drove up to us. The person inside told us to come over to him using a motion so no one would notice him. My friend and I decided that this was not safe so we went to see our friends. They didn't believe us that made us feel really bad so we asked another friend of ours. He told the teacher with us, I was glad it was over with.
During class in the afternoon the principal came over and pulled me aside and asked me some questions. Then after school the police came to my house to ask me some more questions.
The next day at school I had a lot of explaining to do but I managed. I hope that was my last time with stranger danger, for a while.

Frindle

My class is reading a book called Frindle. Frindle is a story about a boy, his name is Nick.He is in middle school at Lincoln Elementary and he wasn't exactly the best or the worst kid in class he was the one who gave birth to a the "new" word.He decided to change the word pen,it drove the teachers crazy.
I thought that the part of the book that I read was very funny because the teachers had on clue what was going on.It was also funny because everyone loved the fact that the word was geting noticed more and more.
I would tell you the whole story but that would ruin it if you read Frindle,so I won't tell you the rest. Have fun reading!
