Quarter One Week Nine

Hi, this is Silas. This week was kind of good for me. Today we went to the beach to look at the gigantic front that is sitting off the coast of Oman in the Indian Ocean. It was awesome! We saw clouds, which were very grey. I suppose that they are full of rain!

I have made great progress this week on my toothpick bridge. It doesn't have a roof. Instead my walls are slanted to make a triangle. I just realized a problem though. Oops, nevermind, no problem.

This week was kind of just an end of quarter review and wrap up and stuff. So yesterday we went to Magic Planet. That was awesome! Magic Planet has bumper cars, a ride called the jumping star, shooting games, driving games, a jungle safari car, and there are horses, a playground, and air hockey. It is so much fun and, best of all, they have a deal on the weekdays that mom really likes because it is cheap. And it is right behind our house.

We made a movie this week called "The 13 Colonies". You can watch it at the link below:

Our cat, Jebel, has been learning in our school. She did the blog last week out of movies and, although Mom tried to load it, it wouldn't load. So we are hoping that it loads this time. This week the cat has been sick with a cold which is really gross. Sometimes she sneezes and a string of snot comes out of her nose and hangs on her face. Disgusting.

Oh, another thing I did this week was I made a movie on xtranormal. It was the first time I used that site. It is about Squanto NOT going to help the Pilgrims. He, of course, did go to greet them in real life and that probably saved the Pilgrims, but in my video, he goes hunting instead. In the movie, history meets disgustingness. Squanto goes with another Indian from the Wampanoag Tribe. They go into the forest. The fellow Indian sees a rabbit, but Squanto says he will get it later. Then Squanto says, "I've got to do something." The other Indian says, "What is it?" I will leave you with the suspense.

What if Squanto wouldn't help the settlers at Plimoth?

This week was also Trick or Treating. I dressed up as Harry Potter. Tehva was a ballerina. Tian was Pocahontas. Cady was Bloody Mary (also known as Mary Tudor or Mary I). We dyed my hair black as you can see from the picture here.

The thing I hated doing most this week was getting all of my reading summaries and vocabulary exercises into my reading lapbook. I don't like doing that lapbook at all! I never know what to write. I never remember what I read in the books that I have to read for school. Actually I do remember but it hurts my brain to pull all of that information out again.

Next week we have a school holiday! It is Eid (the one where people go on pilgrimage on the haaj) so we will have the whole week off. However, we are supposed to go camping, but I DO NOT WANT TO GO! I hate sand!

The End.
