Computer Class

Today in computer class I learned that being caught doing something bad on the internet can be scary. I also moved up a level on my typing goal. I can now type 13WPM with 100% accuracy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Extraordinary Week

Today is UN Day. Our class teamed up with Ms. Clayton's class to make an ANIMOTO about six international authors. Our group was assigned to Eva Ibbotson. She's written The Secret of Platform 13, Journey to the River Sea, and The Great Ghost Rescue. I did slides 7&8. I can't wait! 

With my goals, I have some work to do. My goals are slipping a little. My cursive is up to date. I just have to stay focused.

 I've done a great job on my Math Olypiads. I got a 4/5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One question was ADD+ADD+ADD=SUMS. SUMS = ?. I got it right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Persuasive Essay

I think this is a perfect example of a persuasive essay in the form of a speech.

Enjoy!

What I Learned In Computer Class Today

Today in computer class I learned about spam emails. If an email is misspelled and you don't know the person, it's likely that you got sent some spam. Good messages should be about topics you know about from familiar people.

Last Week

Last Week was a week of learning and adventure. I lost the Championship of head to head this week, but I am proud to come in second and think Riya deserved to win. I think I did a good job on my math test too. In the math races this week I was happy to see my team come off with a win of the finals and I can't wait to see how we do next time.

I was happy to get graded with a skilled category after my book club's presentation on The School Story. I did not expect us to do that well! I especially liked the deeper thinking we did in finding the heart of the story. If someone would like to see the presentation they can find it under the award winning presentations gadget.

Talking about my goals, I've made some progress. I can now type 12 words per minute with 100% accuracy. My cursive is also getting way better, and I'm still on that goal. I think my vocabulary is also getting  better. Guess what enticed means!

Thanks,
George
