Today at St. Mark’s I had science and art. In science I watched a couple of movies. The first one I watched Dr. Binocs. He told us about how plants and all about them. The second one I watched was a Time Lap. That is where you watch someone plant a seed and then the first one and the last one had the number of days written on the bottom right corner. The first one was showing us how to grow a cucumber. It took about sixty days. The second one did not say how many days it took. But that one was many plants. There were brocoli, tomato, barley and many other plants. The last one or the third one was how to grow a sunflower. It also has the number of days on the bottom right corner like I told you before. In art I made a fancy drawing design on a piece of clay. First we flattened it with the bottom palm of our hand. Then we used these Every-Day tools or thingies to make fancy art designs on the back of the side where we flattened it. Then Mrs. Davis took it punched a hole at the top of it so that the ribbon can go through. Next she’ll right our names on it and next I don’t know what’s going to happen.

Today at St. Mark’s I had science and music. In science we watched Mr. Dillon put radish, green onion, and Lima Bean seeds inside a bag. Some of the bags had watr on the paper napkin and some did not. One had water, light and warmth and some did not. One had no light, warmth, no air and one had air no warmth and light and many other options. In music I learned the song Awake, Awake and sang the song called America which I already know. Then we played a game called Fishtopia. I got to go to purple pond. You have to get questions right to earn bait, you have to feed fish the bait and get it, and you have to sell fish to get cash. You have to spend cash to go to Purple Pond, Sandy Shores, and there’s one other one but I forgot it. I got to go to Purple Pond and Sandy Shores but I didn’t get to go to the last one. I got so many fish. There were red, gray, blue, green, purple, and maybe some other colors. There is even starfish I think. But I didn’t get to get any starfish. When the game ended I got seventh place. Alexander Constantine got first place. I hope you have a great day too. Just like me. Will you?

Today at St. Mark’s I had computer. In computer Idid Code.org. I was in the Mini Projects section. In my level it is where it is a dog named Jorge (Hor-hae). But he is the only thing in the picture. So we get to create what he gets to do. But that is just the first one. On the second one it is where there is Jorge and one flag and you have to get to the flag with the blocks. The third one is one where is two flags and you have to get to both of them without reseting. The fourth one is even harder. It is where there is Jorge and two flags that are diagonal. One is on the bottom left and one is on the top right. The next one is one that I don’t know. Only those four are the ones that I did and completed. There is also a video. The video is the video that you watch to see how to do Mini Projects. I hope you have a super great day. Will you?

Today at St. Mark’s I had spanish and drama. In drama Mrs. G was our drama teacher because Mrs. Massy wasn’t here today. We played a game where it is everybody chooses their favorite food that starts with the first letter of their name. For example I chose My name is Adrian and I like apples. Then everybody will repeat that. Alexander Constantine also did that one. Benjamin said My name is Benjamin and I like bagels. In spanish we worked in our book. We got to use stickers that matches the picture. So for one of them it went like this a Eliana le gusta el perro. That means Eliana loves the dog. I hope you have a day just like mine. Will you?

Today at St. Mark’s I had art and music. In art I played with LaQ I think that’s how you spell it. It is where you have one square or triangle and a connector piece and then you can connect and make things. There are many different kinds of connectors. In music Mrs. Broom and Mrs. Broom were in the music room. Mr. K already taught Mrs. Broom’s class this but now everybody knows it because everybody practiced at school. It goes like this: Cris Cros tomato sauce. Cris Cros my heart is lost. Then i watched Magic School Bus in the Arctic. In PE we went to see the new gym. Then we went back to Lower School gym, ran one lap, went inside, and did some jump roping. We didn’t have to change into our PE shirt at all. My poem goes like this: I’ve heard of a man who lived in world peace. He had a great dream that violence would cease. “We’re free at last” is what he would sing. And throughout the world let freedom ring.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day! For short is MLKJ. Martin had big words. Even though people were trying to hurt him he kept going. He used big words to solve problems. But he was arrested many times. One day Martin moved to Memphis Tennissee. On his second day there he got shot. He died. People still celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. At St. Mark’s my old coach named coach Giler’s birthday is on Martin Luther King Jr. Day which is today. Maybe people still use Martin’s big words. Maybe you will. Maybe I will. Maybe everyone will. Who knows? I hope you celebrate and have a great MLKJ day. Happy Birthday Coach Giler!!!

Today at St. Mark’s I had science and library. In science I watched three videos. The first one was about the life cycle of an apple. The second one was about how plants grow. The third one was Bill Nye the science guy I think. We didn’t finish that one. In library we went to the black box theatre. We watched John Robert Allman talk about how to make books and what books he made. It takes at least two years to finish making a book. Then we got to make our own book. I wrote S is for Star Wars by Adrian R. Zhang. Then on the back I wrote A is for Anakin. Then I wrote about Anakin. Then I wrote B is for Barris Offee. Then I wrote about her. Then it was time to go.

Today at St. Mark’s I had spanish and drama. In drama I watched people do their show. There were at least two people. My group was the only group who didn’t get to show because we aren’t really finished. But all the other ones were very funny. I think my group will show ours the next time we have drama. That will be next week. I know what skeptical and bombard mean. Skeptical means you don’t believe it. You think it’s fake. Bombard means overwhelming. For example if someone is asking me so many questions then I am bombarded with questions. In PE Doc wasn’t here so coach Giler came back to coach first grade. We ran two laps and then we played pinball. On the first round of pinball my team won because we had Sioux and Blake. Sioux probably hit all the pins down in PE. The score was 3 to 2 or 1. The second round we didn’t have enough time to finish the round. But my team got the most pins down. The score was 2 to 1 I think. So we won every round and the whole game.

Today at St. Mark’s I had spanish, art, and music. In art I drew a polar bear that I am going to glue on my landscape of the Arctic I made in the last art class. In music we learned about Elvis Presley. He was born in 1935 and he died in 1977. He had a very short life. Elvis had a brother. But he was stillborn. That means that his brother died when he was still born. Elvis got a guitar when he was only eleven years old. I know one of Elvis’s songs. It is called Blue Suede Shoe. We watched two Blue Suede Shoe movies on the TV in music. The first one Elvis was holding a guitar. In the second one he was holding a microphone and he had a band. His hairstyle was also different. In one part of the movie he kissed a girl in the audience. I think that was his wife. But I’m not sure. We also practiced some instruments in music. I hope you have a good day too.

Today at St. Mark’s I had art and drama. In art I started making a landscape of the Arctic. We drew the line in the middle as the ground. We drew mountains that were small so that it looked like they were far off in the distance. Then we took the same white oil Pastel that we used for the small mountains and the line for the ground and turned it on it’s side and colored on the bottom to ake it look like snow. Then we took a gray piece of paper and we cut it in half but we cut it in curves. Then we took one at a time and used the real Pastel and colored it up and away using different colors to make it look like the northern lights. But to make it look more like the northern lights we used our finger, started on the color and swiped up and away. We did one row on the top and one row on the bottom. I only did one row of northern lights and I did not swipe. Later we will make a polar Bear and glue it onto the paper. In drama I played two games on the stage. The first one was called Shipwrect. The way you play is when Mrs. Massy says Starboard you go to the right. When she says Port you go to the left. When she says Hoist the Sails you use your arm and hands like you are pulling the rope so the sails go up. When she says Man Overboard you do this in slow motion and say uoaaouuaouaouosavemeeblublubblubbblubbleblubb like you are falling into the water. And there is a lot more but I don’t want to say them and act them out. The second game was called Headbandz. It is where there is four people in four groups. One person from every group puts the headband on. They put a card on the headband but he cannot look at the card. Then the other people look at the card and act it out. After one act, The person with the headband has to guess what the card is. Then they keep going until the person gets the card correct. If the person does not get the card correct for a while then the other can start giving clues and hints. We just keep going in number order until it is time to go. You can just keep going until it is time to go. you dod not have to do your turn and then another persons turn or do them all at the same time. I hope you have a day like this when or if you go to St. Mark’s. Will you?
