All About Me

This is my All About Me piece. I worked really hard on it during Writers' Workshop. My favorite part was making the cover. I'm working on a retelling of The Gingerbread Man now.

Alex's Lemonade Stand

I got 60 bucks donated to Children's Cancer by helping my teachers work at Alex's Lemonade Stand during the 2nd grade play. I hope the kids feel better from cancer.

Writers' Workshop Everyday

Everyday I write in Writer's Workshop. First, I wrote about Small Moments. Then, I wrote How-Tos. Now, I get to do real writing--non-fiction!

The Small Moment I wrote about was my friend Mac the day he got hurt. He had to go to the hospital and get 29 stitches. My favorite How-to is How to Make Chocolate Milk. We made chocolate milk in class and all of us got to take a try. Mrs. M-----makes really great chocolate milk! Another How-to I like was How to Make Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich.

When I finish my non-fiction writing, All About Me, I will put it on my blog.

Making my Wigwam

To get ready for Pow-Wow I made a wigwam at school. My teacher had a sign hanging on the board that said How to Make a Wigwam. I read the how-to and made my wigwam. I made a wigwam because my tribe lived in a wigwam. My tribe was the Lenape tribe. It was great!

My Greatest Pow-Wow

I had Pow-Wow at my school on Friday. My day started out getting ready in the classroom. I put on my Native American clothes and got my face painted. My favorite part was the Native American turtle on the front.

I went outside for Pow-Wow. I danced. I danced the skunk song and a moon and sun song. I went in a Tee Pee and Peaceful Waters and Gentle Flower told me about the Native Americans. I held a feather and said, "My name is Shining Moon and I am thankful for my brother."

Then, I went inside for resources all around different classes. The teachers were dressed up too. My favorite was food testing. I ate Native American food.

At the end of the day I was so tired from my Pow-Wow but I loved it so much.
