ekrivitzky24's learning journey

Today I went on a field trip to the  Urban Ecology Center. What happened is they got a different school (we went with them last year) to hang out with us and interact with us. We partnered up. I had a lot of fun!

This post is about what I am thankful for. I’m thankful for my neighbors across the street. I’m thankful for my yummy food. I’m thankful for my GRATE SCHOOL and for my AWESOME TEACHER! I’m thankful for my sister, my mom, and my dad. I’m thankful for the two hospitals that helped me when I had injuries. I’m thankful that at least two chicks hatched because the incubator went off for seven hours because there was a power outage for one minute and turned off the incubator until we got back to school. I’m thankful for my seven friends and family.

We are hatching chick eggs. It takes 21 days to hatch a chick. What you do is put eggs in to an incubator for 21 days and candle the eggs on day 7, 14, and 17. Candling is you take a candler/special flashlighq and try to look in the egg to see what is going on.

Adon Lippman I think that Reflex is better than Dreambox. Reflex is better than Drambox for a few reasons. Those reasons are that Reflex actually challenges your mind way way way more than Dreambox. It has stuff that Dreambox does not have like division multiplication. I hope you will get it for our school.

This is my house for the Community project. Let me explain how it got to this. First, we earn fake money but we can also get deductions. After weearn for a month, we pay for the houses. We pay eather $250 or $264. We bought the houses, painted, shopped and decorated. I’m living in the house now. We have partners and each person gets 2 weeks in the house. It is fun living in the house.

It’s global experience! For global experience we studied Argentina.What I studied in Argentina was Iguazu falls.I will tell you some facts I learned.1 Iguazu falls is on the border of  Argentina and Brazil.2 Iguazu falls is actually 275 water falls making it one of the largest water fall ranges in the world.3 Iguazu means big water in Spanish.4 Iguazu falls is actually the second largest water fall rang in the world.5 Iguazu falls is surrounded by a rain forest.6 The water falls come from the Iguazu river.  I can’t wait to do Global Experience again in 2 years.

Yesterday my class held and pet 8 week old puppies! The puppies were SO cute! The puppies wrestled and played, and barked. It was so cute!

Yesterday, we started weaving. I have weaved a lot. My patern is rainbow strips. We are weaving because peopledo it all over Argentina and Argentina is our Global  Experience . Global Experience is when the howle school study’s  a country and people from other classes look at there rooms that look like other countries.

For global experience we are studying Argentina. We have made maps we have hung up the flag for Argentina IN THE FUTURE ARE ROOM IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE ARGENTINA! We are learning a lot about Argentina. Like what animals they have.

I am trying to persevere. I am trying to persevere because even right now blogging  is still hard for me to persevere. I also have a hard time persevering stuff like Writer’s and Reader’s Workshop. I think 2018 will be great!
