The Farm Movies

I chose this one because I thought it was important to share my experience at the farm.

Land of Liberty: The Play

I chose this one because people may want to see pictures and hear about the play.

A Visitor from Nepal

I chose this one because the earthquake is really hard for some people.

A Busy Week

Farm, Day 3

The Fourth Grade Play: The Preview

I chose this one because the preview was really cool, and maybe people would like to see the play.

2014 Reflections

I chose this one because it is important to see what we thought before winter break.

These are my two favorite book reviews.

This is my newest and my favorite.

This Book is Not Good for You

That is my favorite because the way I used the slides, and because it was different than the rest of the book reviews. I used the slides in a way that transitions one part to the other.

This is my 2nd favorite.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix

This is my 2nd favorite because it was my first book review and my writing got a lot better. My writing got a lot better because my little parts of the book got people on edge to read the books that I read.

We wrote this poem after we read the book Kai’s Journey to Gold Mountain. The book is about a boy going to San Francisco, and through his life in Angel Island. After that we were to write a poem in Kai’s perspective. This is it, Ta da!   

We got this picture and one sentence of what the girl said before Jacob A. Riis took her picture. Then Dan and Jen told us what to write about what she thought in just a few sentences. They also gave it to our parents at Curriculum Night, they got the same question. But my parents were way off! It was really funny to see there answers to the question too.

This drawing is off of a line in the poem The New Colossus. In the fall I thought this poem is just to help the Statue of Liberty be built. But now in June I think it really captures the essence of immigration.

This is my New map. I made it in June!

This is my Old Map. I made it in September.

We made a map from what we knew, and know about geography. Knowing about the places in the world are important for immigration because immigrants are from all different places and there is a different journey for everyone, sometimes depending where they are from.

This is my Wiggly line writing. The way we did this is that first we got a wiggly line then we are supposed to draw something out of it and make a story. As time went on we edited the first one and then made a sequel. We edited the sequel and then added the first story and the second story combined. And that created this, ta da.

Mars

Geraldene the Tofurkey walks on to the space shuttle. She is nervous, but excited. She is about to be the first Tofurkey to go to Mars, she straps the seat belt tight. She knows she is vital to the future of the Mars program.

She slowly breaths in. “shshshshup.” Then she reaches for the taco paste. “Yummmm! Then she grabs the bottle of juice. “Ahhh. That paste was good.” She breathes in again but this time there is a gulp at the end. Mission control calls in, “Geraldene are you ready?!”

Geraldene gulps but then she reassures Mission control, “yes I am ready.” In her big, bulky space suit, she reaches for the red switch, it says ‘accelerator’.

She takes one big breath. Then she flicks the switch. The machine starts the countdown. “10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1”

Years later, after much exploration.  Geraldine sees Mars,  she is scared but excited, brave, but worried. Maybe she will live, maybe not.

“Mission control. I see Mars coming in“, Geraldine says excitedly! “Oh my, Houston we got a problem. Some asteroids are in my way to Mars”, Geraldine hastily says shortly after.

“Geraldine use the Mars missiles 1 2 3 4 5 and 6. “This should move the rocks,”  replies mission control.

Geraldine pushed the button that says Mars Missile number 1. The missile shots out, so fast that the fastest person in the world can not keep up. One small asteroid blew up.

“Oh, no there are not enough missiles” , says Geraldine worriedly. “Well I am probably going to crash and expire shortly after, so I might as well write my will” ,concludes Geraldine.

Will

by Geraldine the first tofurkey to Mars

• Everything goes to my lazy brother Gerald and his cat Ham.

“Oh my my predictions were right! I am going to CRASH!”

“BEEP BEEP BEEP!” goes the rocket.

“Mission control! Come in I need you!”

“SZSZSZSSZSZSSZSZSSZSZ”, replies the radio.

“Oh no, everything is going wrong! The rocket is burning, I won’t survive”, sadly remarks Geraldine. “AHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

This is what I am proud of…

I am proud of this because I thought I did a very good explanation of what a quadrilateral is. I think this is a very good explanation because it explains how many angles makes a quadrilateral, if it is a polygon or not, and an example of one. But the thing I am most proud of is that it will help people understand what a quadrilateral. I am excited for 5th Grade because we will be doing what we did in 4th Grade.

This is what I need to work on…

I need to work on this because the question is not very clear. The question is not very clear because I need to add the explaination of an 8X6 juice box container. Also I need to explain the problem better. Something I am nervous for math in 5th grade because we are doing the same thing but more complex.
