We just went to the museim of science and indrestry . It was really fun. We first went to the weather area. There we went in this wind thing. You step inside and the wind will go up to 80 miles past you. That was really fun. There was also a color room iin the weather area. You step inside and can change the colors around. Your shirt, pants and even eyes will change color. We also saw fake lightning there and there was something like a cloud/tornato that was spining around in the area. Our main purpose of being there was learning about simple machines and we had our lesson on simple machines after lunch. It was so cool and we learned about the different types of machines. After our simple machine lesson we went around to see baby chicks, what it might be like in the fuchure, a wispering place where you could wisper in the room and you could still hear each other loud and clear, and we went to one other place too but I can't remember what it was called. I had a really fun time at the museim.

It was Saturday my favorite day of the week! Also, on Saturday we have a very consistent breakfast. Pancakes and juice. Dad always makes the best pancakes,and the texture of the pancakes always makes me feel happy. I walked downstairs. Every step i took made me hungrier. As i reached the bottom step I was surprised. It was an extravaganza down here. There was a huge layered cake on the counter. Mom was dancing to music and Dad was making pancakes. How could I forget? Lily's birthday. The morning would start off with pancakes, then we would go on a jaunt around the block. After lunch we would go on the zoo expedition followed by Lily's party. Lily would have 50 kids over. She was so amiable. I, on the other hand, am super vivacious as well as indomitable. After the party we would go to see Peter Pan. It would be a super day. The doorbell rang. " I'll get it!!" I shouted. I ran to the door and opened it. " Grandma, Grandpa!" I cried. They stepped inside and I lad them to the kitchen. They sat down and talked to Mom. Just then Lily walked in. She was wearing a bright blue dress with flowers in her hair. " Happy birthday!" we shouted. " Morning to you too!" smiled Lily.
The day passed quickly and before I knew it, it was bed time. I didn't want to go to sleep yet though so after everyone was sleeping I set up a tent in the backyard.The stars were shining brightly above me. Today had been the best day ever.

Greenbriar is the best

Right now I want you to imagine yourself at a school called Greenbriar. I want you to do this because it’s the best school ever. Surrounded by books and math supplies, Greenbriar school easily helps you learn a lot. Let me stop babbling and tell you why Greenbriar is better than any other school in the world.
The first reason Greenbriar is so good is it has drinkable water. Some schools in other countries have water, but it is polluted or just bad to drink. If children happen to drink the water it will make them sick or if they don’t drink the water at all they could get dehydrated. With either of these things- getting sick from the water or getting dehydrated they would have to stay home from school and miss their learning. Then what could happen is the children miss their learning, and not be as smart- then when they grow up they wouldn’t get good jobs. As you see you can drink the water at Greenbriar so you are very safe from getting dehydrated or sick.
Another reason Greenbriar is so good is that Greenbriar has very good supplies. If a pencil breaks-just get a new one. But in some places it doesn’t work that way. In some places you get only one pencil for the whole year. If one breaks you can’t get another one and most learning is writing your ideas down. If I didn’t have a pencil everything would get so jumbled up. I would need a pencil so I could write down my spelling words in a spelling test. Also I would need a pencil for a vocab test, math, and more. What in the world would I do if I didn’t have a pencil? As you see pencils can be really important and Greenbriar is filled with them.
So if you have been imagining correctly you can see how good Greenbriar is. Now are you ready to come to Greenbriar and be treated better than you sever imagined?

Our life in America

In class we just wrote a story that was called Our life in America. It was about a family called the Markowitz family. They immigrated from Russia and life was hard for them. In America they lived in a tenement crowded with people and the dad worked in a factory. They kept their Jewish custom as well as being American and learning American custom. When the family came to America the name Markowitz was shortened to Marks. I think it must be real hard to immigrate. Imagine being in a boat for weeks, cramped in a tiny space. You might get sick. It's also scary. There might be storms too. Then once you get to America you go through inspection. One person is sick and they get sent back to where you came from you and your family could get separated. But if you do make it through inspection you still are getting poked throughout your body. From the moment you walk off the boat you are being watched. That must be hard! America does give a better life for people but it is hard. You might not be able to find work and for some immigrants work means long hard hours. You get tired. Lots of immigrants work at sweatshops. Can you imagine work being so hard you need to go on strike? If you can imagine that, try imagining life being so bad that you leave your country. I can't imagine that. Well I got to go now, bye!

Nicky's wonderful adventure

Nicky loved candy. It seemed as if she ate it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She also had it for in-between snacks too. It was as if candy was her only possession. Don’t get the wrong idea though. Other than what she ate she was a normal kid. Most surprising of all was that she always went to the dentist and she had no cavities. Nicky’s mother was a dentist and her father was a doctor so they required her to eat well so she didn’t get sick or get bad teeth, but since she was perfectly healthy and she had no cavities they saw no reason why she couldn’t have so much candy. This story takes place on a Sunday afternoon. She just had, had a meal of chocolate and she decided to take a walk. When she got outside something very strange happened. When she closed the door to her house she found herself in the woods. She was very scared but she decided she would venture out into the woods. She felt enchanted, like she was under a spell. She scarcely heard the crunching of the leafs behind her and she realized a little bit to late. When she looked up she saw a huge jaguar looking at her with scrutinizing eyes.Nicky had very keen eyes and noticed that the jaguar had blood trickling down it’s side. She screamed though and ran away. After a while she found a tree and it was very plentiful with apples. She ate one and in a second she was back on her street and the enchanted feeling was all gone. She thought it was a good time for a trip to the candy store and so she elucidated to her mom that she wanted to got to the candy store. Her mom agreed. When she was at the candy store she was in a quandary whether to to get jolly ranchers or more chocolate. She decided to get jolly ranchers and she left the store. As she walked home she felt very happy for some reason.

Blizzards

In school we are learning about weather. We each got a type of weather to study and I got blizzards! They are amazing. Until I started to research this type of weather I never really knew what blizzards were. Ok yeah, I knew it was a bad storm with lots and lots of snow. But I didn't know all the scientific things that made up a blizzard. Did you know winds in a blizzard can get up to 35 miles per hour or more. Also blizzards can go on for more than 3 hours. That can be scary because there could be lots of white outs pluss family's could be separated. Some are at work others on the road. Trees might fall down and so could power lines. I dislike blizzards because the are very cold but I like them because you get out of school, you get to play in the snow and after a long day in the snow you can get some hot chocolate. Well I need to go now but I hope you learned something about blizzards! Have fun in YOUR next blizzard!

The Nightingale

Have you heard, the Nightingale is coming to town! I can't wait, at my school we have a school musical each year. The only grades that are in the musical though is the fourth grade and fifth grade at our school. I'm in luck this year because I am in fourth grade and I am doing the musical this year. The musical is the Nightingale. It is a wonderful story about a kingdom that a beloved emperor rules. In our play though a empress rules. She has heard of this wonderful nightingale and wants to see it. The nightingale is brought to the empress and keeps it there for a while. A little while latter a package arrives. A mechanical nightingale is in the box. Soon everyone likes the mechanical bird better. The real bird is banished from the kingdom. The mechanical bird breaks though and the empress grows sick. She is about to die when the real bird comes back and sings for the empress. The empress becomes better and everyone is overjoyed. So that is the play this year and I am very exited.

I have just finished the book Albert Einstein. It was a very good book and I enjoyed the book very much. It is about Albert Einstein from the time he was born to the time he died. The book happened to be a biography for my book report. This book was wonderful and was very interesting. For one I didn't know that the great scientist played the violin. Also I didn't know that he quit school at first but then went back because he wanted to get into a university. I never really knew much about Einstein and never thought to learn much about him. Then I decided he would be a good person to research, and boy am I glad I did, Albert isn't just a scientist with crazy hair he is much much better than that.

What I learned from Ginger Zee

Good afternoon! A meteorologist named Ginger Zee just come to our school. She loves her job. I know you are asking me what a meteorologist is. A meteorologist is someone who studies weather. They predict weather by sending a weather balloon into the atmosphere. Once the balloon runs into the storm it takes a picture and sends the picture back to the meteorologist. The meteorologist uses the picture to help predict the weather. My class and I have a question though, what if the weather balloon pops? Do you know?I learned also that meteorologists don't study earthquakes. I hadn't known that. I also never thought about tornados going different speeds. Then I asked the question and she told me you can't say a specific speed because the speed varies. I learned a lot from Ginger Zee and even more than I am writing down.I hope you enjoyed and learned something new from reading this.
