 A few days ago me and my family watched  a movie called  'The Lorax'. The moral of the story explains   almost  everything that the town did to our backyard. This  is the story of  'The Lorax'.   In this story , there is a place called ' Thneedville'.  there, there were no real trees. But,  two people, Ted, and  another girl,  still cared about trees.  So, one day, Ted snuck out of town to try and find a real living tree.   Then he met a man. All the trees were  gone because of him.   This is his story.  When he was young, he lived on a farm with his mother, his father, and his 2 brothers.  He had a dream,  to make, and sell a 'thneed'. So he set off to find matirials for his 'thneed'.  After crossing through deserts, and so many other places he found the place where the trees grow. So, he befriended the  animals and fed them marshmallows. Then he cut down one of the trees,  used its fluff to make a  'thneed'. Then, thunder and lightning  struck the tree stump, and out popped 'the Lorax'.  "The Lorax'  found  him harvesting the  fluff off the tree.  That night  'the  Lorax'  tried to  calmly sail him away on the river, but that did not work.   So  the man made a promise, to never cut a tree down again. Except, when he tried to sell his '' thneed" no one wanted it.  It acadentally  landed on someone's  head, and that person looked great using the  'thneed' as a hat.  Everyone wanted a thneed, so he broke his promise  and cut down all the trees.  Then the environment started to change, the water became polluted soon all the animals left. Before the  Lorax left , on a stone  he  engraved the word 'unless'.  But, the man had a seed. It was the last  seed.  Ted  snuck back  into town . He planted the  last seed  in the middle of  town. All trees started coming back. The animals  came back, and so did the Lorax.The moral of  the  story  was: unless  someone  like you  cares a whole awful  lot  about  something, nothing is  going to  get  better.  Thats the  story  of the Lorax.

 On sports day our school  does activities outside. And,  to help out,  kids from the campus school come  over to  giude us through the activities .  My  faveorite  activities  were the long jump,  the  3 legged race, and tug - a - war. In the long jump  everyone was dashing  and soaring across the sandbox. my longest jump was 190 .  and in the 3 legged  race
everyone was zooming for the finish line. And, I got last place, but I really  don`t mind.  and  in  the Tug - a- war it was girls  against  boys.  and the girls lost.  but, there are more boys than girls in class.  And thats what we did on sports day.

  In social class I did a poster about India.  in  the southern plains  they can  grow rice beacause there is so much rain. And  in the Northern plains to grow the crops the pepole depend  on the monsoon.{A monsoon  is a wind that brings rain.} If the monsoon brings too much rain the crops will flood away,and if there is to little rain the crops will not grow.  Also  in  the  mountains many of the people have become sucsesfull rabbit farmers because  the rabbits can live at very high standards. And in the mountains many trees have been cut down.  And the women wanted to save the trees. So they started the chipko movement. {Chipko means " hug"}.  So every time the men tried to cut the trees  down the women hugged the trees. Then the men finally started listening to them and  stopped cutting  down the trees. And thats what I know about india.

This month I read a new book. it is called ' Geronimo Stilton and the Bandit Cats'. If you are wondering Geronimo Stilton is a mouse who works for the rodents gazzete on mouse island. the rodents gazzete is the news paper for mouse island. In this story you would also meet Trap, Thea, and Benjamin. Trap is Geronimo`s cousin, and his faveorite thing to do is basicly is eat and make fun of Geronimo!  And Thea is Geronimos sister, and her faveorite thing to  is motorcycle, and help her brother with the rodents gazzete. And last but not least, there is Benjemin. Benjemin is Geronimos niece. Benjemin is always so cute his uncle Geronimo can never say no to him!  and Benjemins faveorite thing to do is visit his uncle,Geronimo.  In this story  Trap  wanted to go see a mysteious , moving, silver island. Exept it turned out it was a cat pirate ship! The cats locked the mice in thier dungon and got ready to eat them!  Lucky for them  Benjemin had a plan. With Geronimos pocket knife Trap filed the bars, Benjemin kept watch for cats , and to stop them from hearing them filing the bars Geronimo and Thea started singing. In the end Geronimo  , Thea, Trap and Benjemin were back home on mouse island.It is a very good book. I think i`m gonna get another book tommorow!

In daily 5 we do reading,  writing,  word work, and my personal favorite, technology.  In technology we can work on our blogs, listen to books, and do math. In reading,we read books and get pulled out by Mrs sahlin for reading goals.  In word work we get a whiteboard and write words we spell. And for writing we write things for new blog posts and write story's. And that is daily 5.
