This photo is when we pretend that we were Incans and trading things we brought from our house that we don’t need. We trade things like what the Incans did in they’re market a long time ago. This is a photo of me waiting for someone to come trade something with me:

Book Review About
Main Street: Welcome to Camden Falls
By Allison Chen
Ann M. Martin’s full name is Ann Matthew Martin. She is born on 8/12/1955. She was born in New Jersey. She is now 59 years old. Her birthday sign is Leo. She graduated at Smith College. She has a sister, Jane. She was a teacher and an editor before she became a full-time writer. She was inspired by Roald Dahl.
The main characters in this book are Flora and Ruby. This book takes place at Main Street. This book is about Flora and Ruby living with their Grandma, Min, because their parents died in a car accident. The girls made friends and Flora found out things that belongs to her mom and her relatives from long time ago.
The theme of this book is Family. The author talks about things that relates to the two sisters. Mostly her mother. The author describes that by writing about how Flora can hear her mother talking while she is sewing. They had a hard time.
I like this book, because it is very special and I sometimes could relate to Flora and Ruby. My grandma’s cat died and that was really sad. When their parents died I could feel that, that is very sad. I think you guys should read this book because it is a very good book and this is a very fun book too.
This is my book trailer I made for my book project, this book is called Main Street: Welcome to Camden Falls. My whole class made a book trailer for each of their book. We made this in I-movie. It is not too hard to make it because the computer does the rest of the stuff for us. Hope you like it! And remember to give us a thumbs up and subscribe on youtube!! This is the book trailer I made:
This is my Book Presentation. Our whole class made these amazing Presentations! Hope you like these fantastic Presentation!

My Mini Mayan Movie
In Social Studies, we were studying about the Mayans and so we created a movie about Mayan Architecture. I made this video with Antonio. We used I-movie to make this video. We worked very hard on it. This is the movie below. Hope you like our video!
Me in Machu Picchu
In IT class we learn how to do Photoshop. Our teacher took a picture of us at school and the background was white so it was easier for us to make this picture. It is easier because we could just use the Magic Wand tool to select the same color and delete it, and we used the eraser to erase the part that wasn’t selected. It was a IT project, and we tried very hard on it. It was really fun doing this project. Do you think that I was really there?
The Gone Pond (Lotus Pond Story)
On a Tuesday morning our class went to Lotus Pond for a field trip. But something happened… There was no water in Lotus Pond.
“Leave it to us,” Chloe said.
“What?” asked Miss Chagaris looking confused.
“Sammi, Julie, Chloe, Hiram, Morgan, Marino, Allison, Brian Lin, and I are all members of the children FBI,” Antony said.
“Are you guys sure?” asked Miss Chagaris, looking toward us.
“Uh-huh,” we all nodded.
“All right then.”
So the rest of our class went back to the school. We dashed to the tiger beside a temple and asked him if he knew who drank up all the water. The tiger said the two dragons did it. We went to see the two dragons. The dragons were angry that the tigers told us. The dragons did it on purpose. They wanted to let all the fishes die. We were very furious.
We were trying to figure out how we could make the water come back again. Suddenly, Hiram said, “Oh! We could pray to God and maybe he could help us make the water come back.”
“Yeah, that’s a great idea!” I said.
“Let’s pray,” said Marino.
“Dear God, please let the water go back to Lotus Pond,” we all said. Closing our eyes and folding our hands. “In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.”
Then, all the water came back to Lotus Pond. We made the dragons promise us not to drink up all the water again.
My Mandala
In Math class, we learned how to draw a mandala. My mandala is named, “Wild Dragon”. Our teacher, Miss Chagaris, showed two videos with us that teaches us how to draw a Mandala. Our whole class made this together. We all started out with a tiny circle (which is called a seed) and then patterns. This is a picture of my Mandala:
If you want to draw a Mandala too, then here is the two video:
