L.A. Scribe
Today in l.a. we got our notebooks from the westing game collected by our teacher Mrs. E. We were reading the westing game for three weeks and we finished todat 6/7/07. Since we all read and finished the book we got to watch the Westing game movie called Get A Clue. We watched it for about 30 minutes and there is still one hour left in the movie. We saw the caracters Turtle, Grace, Sydelle, Jake,Angela, mr. plum, Barrny N., Otis, James Shin Hoo, Doug Hoo, Chris, and Mr. Sam Westimg. It started out on halloween, when turtle explained how her family and the other heirs had to move to an apartment next to the westing house in sunset towers. After that Turtle, Otis, and doug went to the Westing house that had been abandon since Westing got in a car crash years ago. She found him in the house and when she saw him he was dead and he fell on the ground almost squishing her. Turtle went in the house bacause Otis and Doug thought she couldn’t last two minutes in the haunted house and for every minute in the house she would get a dollar. She lasted 9 minutes so she got 9 dollars.
Math Scribe
Today in math we started to take our tests. This was not just any old test because it was our end-or-year-essesment that we take every year to see what we have learned all year. On the test it had things like fraction converting, fraction multipying and dividing. There was also graphing, and triangle measuring, estimating degrees, and making angles and 360 degree half and whole estimates. The test took about 3 days per-person and it had 9 pages. It was easy and hard as-well depending what questions you were on and how well you remember to do the problems.

L.A. Scribe
Today in l.a. we reviewed persuasive writing and what you should do in our stories to persuade our readers. We also underlined important points on a worksheet of ways to persuade anyone that reads our papers. I learned a couple facts in this sheet like there also has to be a introduction that still introduces the paper but tells what you are trying to persuade. Did you know there are also still body paragraphs, and a conclusion in this type of writing ? Well it is true! Yup, there really are middle and end paragraphs, just like there are in other types of writing like expository. There were also bulleted points that said to give many details of why you want this reader to go along with your idea or belief/opinion. I mainly learned in this class of learning about persuasive writing, was that tell the reader exactly what you want them to go along with, state your details why, and stick with you reasons with topic.
L.A. Scribe
Today in L.A. we read a paper on Chief Joseph who was an Indian a long time ago and how he wanted to stay in his part of the U.S. with his tribe instead of having to leave which Nez and his people wanted,because they wanted the territory with a source of food/hunting, fresh water, and open fields of protection from wild meat eating animals. Chief J. made a long speech about how important it was to him that they stay and how he wasn’t going to fight Nez and his people to get the land.He also said how many people from his tribe ( which he is the leader of ) are all dead and how he surrendered to fighting.

And lend a hand.

Because they care.

Math scribe
Today in math we made a coordinate grid out of the room and ” bossed ” around our friends and told them to go to certain points on the grid by our footsteps being either -1 or 1 at a time. We went across first ( horizontal ) then we went up or down ( verical ) depending on our ordered pair derections to follow given by our friend. We did this the whole class following a coordinate grid like this one below.

Crude Awakening
Did you hear about crude awakening and what it is ? Well I will tell you about it either way. Crude awakening is bad, people use to much oil and it is causing the world to run out. There is only 2.6 trillion barrels left of oil in the world which is 42 gallons per barrel and it is worth different amounts of money depending on what country or who sells. Oil also sells by year. Oil is made out of a rock called malstone or oil shale. Have you ever heard of M. King Hubbert ? He observered that the flow of oil comes to a peak, then declines just as fast as it got there. Did you know that as well as other items like water or sometimes store bought items that oil is delivered by truck ? Do you know where all of the oil is ?

Turkey
Dear friend,
I am going to tell you about my home in Turkey like our old President Kemal Ataturk also known as Mustafa Kemal, and how he changed Turkey. I will also tell you about how everything is like here and what we do.
javascript:tinyMCE.execInstanceCommand(’mce_editor_0′,’mceLink’,true);Did you know about Kemal Ataturk ? Well he was a president of Turkey for 15 years and he was also the first preident of Turkey. when he died. Kemal changed many things in Turkey like our clothes he changed our clothes to a European style, and he also changed the capital of Istanbul to Ankara. You may be surprised to learn that our tradition of wearing fezzes and vials were no longer to be worn. Fezzes were flat toped hats that men wore to prey and women wore vials that covered their faces while in public.

Here are some facts that i didn’t tell you before about Kemal changed was the Roman alphabet, everyone in Turkey had to learn how to write that way in 3 weeks. Another fact is that Kemal was titled republic but was actually a dictator.Well it is time for me to end this letter now because i have to go prey then have some Turkish delight.
I am glad I got to write to you from Here in Turkey to the U.S.A and i had a lot of fun doing it too. I hope you learned about how it is in Turkey with Kemal Ataturk and the life here. Maybe someday you would like to come on a trip and see how it is in person.
Your Friend,

Channel 3 Country Camp Reflection
Guess What ? Yesterday my sixth grade class went to channel 3 country camp. We did a lot of interesting, challenging, activities to do through-out the day. The first activity we did was the initiatives, which were challenges to do with our groups, such as the meat grinder, spider web, all around, and the Mohawk walk. Another activity we did was the egg drop. I remember when my egg dropped and when they opened up my capsule i said ” nooooooo, he was so young. “The egg drop was where you had to make a capsule and then our teacher through it down from bloody rock with the egg in it and everyone was hoping their egg would survive.That is what we did at channel 3 country camp on Thursday.
