Vocab

Today was the best field trip I ever had. At first I was really scared to ride on the rides at the amusement park. At first it was a big water slide I gripped the strapped  on the side and closed my eyes and felt water and air splashing on my face and my heart was beating like I never had and I then I herad a sploosh and I felt like I was about to drown and I slowly floated back up and knew I did it!  When we were going back I jerked my shirt to get the water out and and I felt the burlap and that was how I overcome my fear.

Discussion     

This week we talked about why Mr.Pendanski called Zero stupid people thinks it is because Mr.Pendanski is mean and makes fun of Zero but I think it is because zero can’t read or write and he desn’t like to answer questions.  We also discussed about  Zero going back to camp I think he will die and and I also think that Stanley will die with Zero because I think he is not that mean to just leave Zero.

Connections

A lot of my classmates  can connect to the part when Zig Zag forced Stanley to eat his cookie and I connected that it was like my mom focing me to clean up my room, but Momo’s was different she had a connection of when Zero can say fat  without Stanley telling him it reminds Momo that  sometimes we know something even before Ms.Martin tells us.

From Mr.Sir’s Dairy to Stanley  (Diary)

Can you just imagine how that stupid Stanley?! He cost me my sunflower seeds and my face. Can you believe that?! He must have some kind of plan I bet it is to tell the Warden lies and said that I found a bucket of gold and Mr.Sir took it and at the end of the day I will be having hundreds of scars on my face all because of him. I mean does he even know what my name is? It is Mr.Sir and it is like the king of the kings. I should be treated the best and I be the boss of the Warden! Just wait Stanley I will get revenge!!!!!! And at the end of the day you are the one that will get blamed and hit my the Warden!  I Will GET REVENGE!

From Mr.Sir to Warden (Diary)

Did you see my face? The Warden did it! Now it looks like I am a pirate. I bet she is getting revenge. And bet god made her for war because her name is called War then den so she is evil and she would be perfect for hitler’s wife. I was just trying to help and see if she sees any kind of characters in Stanley and she told me she doesn’t care and that I have changed so much for her and she told me she like me better when I smoke?! It is so not fair.

 

Evelyn’s Nanowrimo

 

During the month of November we wrote a novel here is the Excerpt: I thought of the dream and knew it won’t be true how can it be true I am health I am like the healthiest kid in my class how can I have cancer the one of the biggest bully came and said who are you talking to? Nobody I sobbed he said no no no nobodoy? Yeah right he answered then he said hey you guys this girl is a freeaak he yelled everyone agreed like YEAH!!!! I wanted to cry but if I do they will call me a cry baby and write it on my locker after I clean it and I don’t want that to happen he went back to his seat laughing like haha. I took a deep breath and thought it is so unfair but, life is never fair so I guess this is normal but, I should stand up for myself it is the right thing to do I have been waiting for like 3 years for a upstander and nobody came not including my mom and my sister called Coral.. Nobody! The bus stopped and when I got off the biggest bully took his sharpie out and I knew he was going to write on my locker again I took a deep breath again. I took my sanitizer spray and my mop the bully turned around and said Hey! Cleaning lady! He spilled his fruit punch all over a part of the bus and said you better clean that up the bus driver won’t be happy and left laughing the driver said clean that up! So I did clean it up I didn’t want to ask the cleaning lady to help so I did it myself and the other show off said OMG she is so stupid she could just call the cleaning ladys. I took a deep breath and they (started their conversation like you know they are like so stupid they don’t clean well if I were their boss I would already fire them said the ringleader the followers agreed like Yeah!

Reflection

I always think about things in my life to get more idea. Like I always think about mom being mad or Ethan putting his dirty socks on my sheets. I sometimes stop the music to make me focus because I always think about the music and want to sing with it and makes me forget about my writing. Sometimes I wear the jeans that is very tight and you can’t really stretch it so I would go back to my seat or take a deep breath.I really like this project and I really think others will do too. First I know a lot of kids like to listen to music and plus I am a kid too. I know that most of the kids want to make their parents proud I know because that is how kids would want to be the student council president, vice president and secretary or it is because they want to show off or they really care about if they will get in college. I really want to be a writer because it was something I never thought I could do and I am pretty sure other student would not think of too.

I would want to do this project again but, I would want Ms.Martin to type too and instead of just sitting there watching us type she can do one too. And since I have been reading some myth books and I really like it f I can do this project again I want to make a story up about myths. And since myths are not true then it will be a fiction one and I will type a fiction one if I can. Sometimes I really don’t like using computer so much so I would like to write it on paper then type it.
