Fireworks Fun

Our hands on homework for week 5 was to have some fun with fireworks! Not real ones, but to draw pictures, write poems, play with some online firework games and to share photos from family Guy Fawkes celebrations. We even had some fireworks made in Minecraft! Here are some of our creations.

Kaelyn's Questions and Answers

1. Describe a time when you needed to apologize and how you felt about it?

 When I said " No" to many times to my parents and I felt a little bit annoyed with them, also sad the same time.

2. Has anyone ever apologized to you? Did the apology help you feel better? Why or why not?

My Mom. Yes it sort of did, but I knew she would do it again.

3. Do you think flyball is a good way for Newton to get enough exercise?  What lessons do you think Newton will learn from his flyball team? 

Yes it involves a lot of running around, jumping. Dogs need that.

4. Why do you think Cooper bragged about himself and made fun of Newton? Is Cooper being a bully? Why or why not?

He wanted to show off and make him seem so important. And all the other dogs seem weak and bad to him. Sort of. He is being some mean some ok.

5. What do you think Jabber and Kylee are trying to express with poetry and violin music?

They are trying to be like someone famous.

100WC - Kaelyn's Entry

As night time drew nearer, the hawk was hovering above the tree stump with narrow eyes. It landed on a twig without a creak, everything was silent. Sarah froze still her big, black eyes on the hawk. Even the birds stopped chirping. Pitter, patter, pitter, patter. It had begun. The tragic thunderstorm was going. The hawk fluttered off the twig and swooped down with it's beak open. Sarah inched forward, the hawk landed with a thump! Just mm from the Sarah's head. Sarah ran for her life. The maniac hawk followed. But what the hawk didn't know was that Sarah had back-up.
