Next year in the 6th grade we will have  program called 1:1. 1:1 is were every kid has their own computer. I am really excited to get computers of our own because right now with all the stuff we have to keep up with in computers and in our binders, it is a lot to think about. I think it will be really good to get experience now so we know how to work computers when we are older. I think it will be easier to learn because everything will be organized. The school work will not be as confusing because it is all the work is in one place. I want to become more better at learning how to fix computers when they are broken. I want to learn how to become faster at all of the stuff you need become better at. I am really looking forward to get MacBook Airs.

In the southeast, elementary schools should have organized sports teams. A school could bring in money by offering private lessons. You could add the money into the school funds to better the school. In addition some kids don’t get the chance to play sports because their family doesn’t have the money. School sports would be free for the kids that go to that school.  Sports also offer the opportunity to improve athletic ability, and it is often a good experience and good activity for growing children. It is good for building discipline and staying healthy. Those are just three reasons why there should be sports teams in elementary schools in the southeast.

            Some people think there shouldn’t be elementary school sports teams in the southeast. They argue that growing children can’t risk any major injury. Kids that are smaller could be easily hurt by kids that are bigger than them. It would also cost more money for smaller schools like elementary schools to buy all the equipment for the sports. Elementary schools only make so much money, so it would be hard to afford everything that they need for the sports. Kids could also be badly influenced by other teams. A team of children that are good could be badly influenced by a team of children that are not as well behaved. These are just a few reasons why some people think kids shouldn’t be able to play sports at their elementary school. However, I think the benefits of playing sports at school out weigh some of these potential issues.

         Have you ever thought about how life today and life in 1976 are the same? Right now your probably saying that there are not a lot of things that would be the same because of the technology now and the technology in 1976. There are a lot of things that are the same such as today we have cars and then they had cars. Most parents now have strict  rules and most people then had strict rules. Another thing that is the same is that we both have running water. those are just a couple of things that are the same between now and 1976 thanks for reading my post!

Ode to a Football

I pick you up feeling my fingers dig into the soften leather

I wind you up and I heave you into the air just like a feather

Tasting that dry frigid wintry mouth

Just wondering what you will do if you are headed south

Examining the way you spiral with ease

I hear the wind blowing you into the trees

I sprint to come get you

When all that I see, is a pile of leaves

I finally find you stuck up in a tree

But I can’t get you with all of my reach

I will climb up the tree to return you safely home with me

On the way home we will both yell WWEEE!!!

Hi my name is Will. My essential question is “How did the Israelites survive their journey?” I chose this this topic because I didn’t known almost anything about how the Israelites survived. I also wanted to know the little details about this topic. It looked like a cool, fantastic, and exciting topic to learn about. You can learn a lot about my topic in the next paragraph.

     Here is some information about my topic is Moses asked the Pharaoh to let his people go from slavery in Egypt. Well the Pharaoh of Egypt said no. So God went around at night and killed every first born son of the Egyptians. Finally the Pharaoh let Moses and the slaves go. Right as the Israelites were far enough away, the Pharaoh changed his mind about letting the Israelites go. As the Israelites got to the Red Sea the Egyptians caught up to the Israelites. When they caught up, the weirdest thing happened. The Red Sea split into two seas. The Israelites had enough time to get through the Red Sea but the Egyptians did not. They got caught in the ocean and many of them drowned. When the Israelites got to Mount Sinai Moses and the Israelites received the Ten Commandments. they carried the Ten Commandments in a big box called The Ark of the Covenment. According to the Ten Commandments and the Exodus if you obey god he will protect you. The Israelites continued on their path for 40 years before thy reached the Promised Land {Mount Nebo}.

In my progect Ihave a couple of things that went well and some that didn’t. One thibg that went well was he path that I drew. One thing that didn’t go so well was I was going to burn the edges so it looked looked like it was from a long time ago but Iran out of time todo that. One other thing that didn’t go well was the title that I wrote on My physical progect. What happened was I ran out of room so I used white out. Then I tried writing over it but it didn’t work. I fixed it by putting construction paper over it and writing on that. Thats what I though of my progect. Thanks for reading this.
