Revolutionary War

Revolution Simulation

In our class the fifth graders have been pretending to be in the Revolutionary War. The class has been divided into three groups. The Patriots, the Loyalists, and the Neutralists. I am in the Patriot group. In each group, the group people are supposed to earn pows (dollars). You can make these different projects, like a mottle ship used during the Revolution, or you can make a map of the 13 Colonies, but have to add the main places, you can make a diorama of a battle, and so on. Each project is worth ten pows (dollars) if you made the project by putting your hard work and effort into it. I have made a mottle ship, a map of the 13 Colonies, a mottle of the Independence hall, and a diorama of the Battle of Lexington.

We have had these different congresses. Before each congress you have to write a speech about why the Neutralists should join your side. The Patriots or the Loyalists. At the end of each Congress you choose a side to be on. If you go to let say the Patriots, but you want to go to the Loyalists you can't because you already chose a side. However, if you a still a Neutralist, you can choose a side at the end of a different congress. If you are still a Neutralist at the end of our Revolution project, you decided to stay a Neutralist for the project.

We also have these things where you discuss with your group if it is good or bad for you. At the end of when we all finish discussing, we go over with the class what you thought and came up with, with your group. During the class discussing you gain or lose pows (dollars). The reason for this is that if it was good for you, you would gain pows(dollars), but if it is bad for you, you would lose pows (money). Right now I have 152 pows (dollars). The most in the class and group.

How many pows (dollars) do you have?

What group are you in or have you not decided?

George Washington

A Hero From The Revolutionary War by: BinyaminKatsman

 During the American Revolutionary war George Washington was the commander and chief of the Patriots. People were fighting for freedom from the British with the hand and attitude of George Washington. On 1775 in Philadelphia George Washington became an amazing commander and chief. He was fighting for freedom alongside with other Patriots. He turned an army of people into a military. According to Rosalyn Shchanzer in the book George V.S. George (George Washington V.S. King George the III) George Washington had “1,200 Rebels build a massive fort atop of Breed’s Hill in just one night…” “Even though the fort got destroyed, it was the army that made the British lose 92 officers and more than half their men.” George Washington the commander and chief for the Patriots, became the first President of the United States of America. He is now gone but his legacy as the commander and chief who helped the Revolutionary War come to an end cause remains.

This is George Washington.

             This is George Washington fighting during the Revolutionary War.

The Big Friendly Giant.

In the book the BFG (The Big Friendly Giant) by Roald Dahl the BFG Helps Sophie. In the story when the BFG and Sophie became friends they both stopped the other mean giants from eating children. If Sophie and the BFG didn't meet they never would have stopped the giants, and all of the children would have been eaten up.

I think that the moral of the story is to help your friends and other people when they need the help. For example, just like I said before if Sophie and the BFG didn't help each other they never would have stopped the giants. I think that if people work together and try, almost anything is possible.

Do you agree with me?

Would you have tried to stop the other giants with another giant friend?

Science Expo

Science Expo

At the Science Expo I was suppose to talk about the Puget Sound Region. I drew a line graph of how many acres (Area) of beaches were closed. I also helped with the info graph. The info graph was a picture and I wrote down what's happening in a cretin part of the picture.

 

I really enjoyed the Science Expo because we got to learn new things about different things. I also liked the exhibits, like what Kindergarten did; they made smoothies. The Science Expo was really fun because you are able to learn new things.

Self-Reflection

Literary Essay Self-Reflection

I really enjoyed writing and the ideas that got into my head for the literary essay. I thing that my strengths are ideas and effort that I put into my literary essay. The reason that I think this is, that I really put my effort and ideas into my literary essay.

I think that about nothing was hard for me, because I added what I needed to add. I think that I could have done a little bit better typing, but nobody is perfect. I think that I did a good job with my literary essay and how I did it. 

Self-Reflection

Narrative Self-Reflection

I really enjoyed writing the narrative and the ideas that I put into it. I think that my strengths are writing and not stopping with my ideas of what happened to put in my narrative. The reason that I say this is that, I wrote the narrative with so many details. I also added many different transition words, to help add the ideas.

I don’t feel like anything was hard for me because I had a really fun time writing the narrative and enjoyed everything. If I did have trouble it would be my typing because I am a good at it but not the best at it. I think that I did a really good job typing y narrative and was calm of how long it took me, because it took a long time. 

Trimester

Trimester Reflection #2

 

I am most proud of my Narrative and literary essay that we made this trimester. The reason for this is that, I have worked so hard on these particular projects. My Narrative and literary essay took me a while to finish, but I am proud of what I have accomplished.

 

I feel that I am really good at math and other things like are writing projects. I think that I can do better in math and can improve by learning the different math concepts. I think that by learning more math and getting a little bit more help on the hard things I can really improve my math concepts.

 

What do you think you can improve on?
