We are doing a Blogging Challenge.  The Blogging Challenge gives us a mentor who will watch our blogs and tell us hints, tell us things we can change and do on our blogs. We get to look at other class’s and students’ blogs.  I looked at a class blog from New Zealand called Millions of Thumbprints.   Please visit their blog at http://millionsofthumbprints.edublogs.org/.

We are doing a Flat Stanley project.  The boys get Stanley and the girls get Stella. We are sending four Flat Stanleys or Stellas to Tanzania, one to a family member, and one we keep over Spring Break.

Where are you going to send your Flat “Self?”

In my class on Valentine’s Day we had a party. We did Bingo. We gave out valentines. Our moms or dads came. We ate toaster waffles. We watched a Valentine’s video.

What do you do on Valentine’s Day?

For my Great People in History Project I am going to be Leonardo Da Vinci, the inventor and artist. I chose him because he was an artist and an inventor and I admire him because he made the designs for millions of different inventions.

Here is a painting of Leonardo Da Vinci.

This is a drawing from Leonardo’s notebook of the first tank.

This is a picture of a replica mini-model of his tank.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT LEONARDO DA VINCI?

On the first day in Paris I went to the Eiffel Tower. I bought a model of the Eiffel Tower there.  It was built for the Worlds Fair as a tourist attraction. I think it is interesting and very tall.

Have you ever been to another country?

My resolution is to get better at soccer and reading.

I want to get better at soccer so I can become a goalie.  I want to get better at reading so I can read Harry Potter # 5-7.   The reason why I want to read Harry Potter # 5-7 is so I can watch the movies # 5-8.

What is your New Year’s resolution?

I saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens over Winter Break. My favorite characters in Star Wars are BB-8, C3PO, R2-D2, Stormtroopers, and Rey.

I liked the movie because they used some of the old sets from Episode 4, 5, and 6.

My favorite part in the movie is the first time you see BB-8 and Rey on Jakku.

Have you seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens?
