What I liked about my font is that all my characters have hats on top of there head. How a made it was I made a draft then I put it on nicer paper and did it better then claire put it on the computer. The theme to my font is the top hats on evryones head. My name to my font is HAT!!!
I choose this piece because I worked really hard on it. It was challenging but it was still really fun. The challenge for me was printing out all the pictures and choosing the right one. I had to do a lot of small details like making the water because if I mess up then I will draw on my islands in the map. The learning habit I focused on for this piece is perseverance because I really just wanted to do the map. But then it looked really good with the pictures so I actually really wanted to do it. But the pictures were not working. The printer was stuck. So I persevered through it and it finally worked.
My favorite part of the year so far is Humanities. I like it because we are watching a video from the big bang to the present day. I am looking forward to our class trip to Ashokan. I am having trouble with my world language. I don;t speak it very well. one goal I have for the year is to be able to speak spanish pretty well. I enjoy recess. I am learning to play 2 hand football with my friends, and it is really fun. So far I really like 5th grade.
Over the summer I read a book called Frindle. The author is Andrew Clements and he is one of my favorite writers. The setting takes place in a class at a school. The school was called Lincoln Elementary School. The main character is Nick. The main problem is that Nick is a troublemaker going into 5th grade. The teacher can see everything behind her back, so Nick can’t pull any pranks on her. He decides to make up a new word for Pen. The word is Frindle. Now instead of saying Pen, people say Frindle. The teacher does not like it so if anyone says the word Frindle they will be staying in after school. Nick has a plan and makes over two hundred kids say the word Frindle in front of the teacher so it will be over flooding the classroom.
What changed the direction of the story was that Nick could not pull pranks so he made up a word. That word got so big that it ended up in the dictionary and he got famous. The character has to make a very big decision by keeping with the word and getting in a lot of trouble or backing away from the word and not getting in trouble. But he kept with it and he became famous and he did not get into a lot of trouble. The conflict is that the principal wants to put an end to the word but at the end of the book the teacher was actually on her side. On page 97 the quote says “I was with you the whole time.”
I enjoyed the book a lot. It was probably the top three books ever. I really liked this book because Andrew Clements is a great writer. One example of how I liked the book is that it had a lot of details, like it said, “One fall day when the leaves were brown, green and red there was a boy named Nick walking down his school street to go to school.” Another example is that the author gets you really into the book. Like he would have some parts when Nick thought he got in trouble but he was really not. My last example why I liked this book was that it was interesting and funny. He made me laugh a lot because of when they made 200 kids stay after school. I would rate this 5 stars. It was a great book.
The End
