1. I've watched a 100-pound kid sit on a cardboard bridge as it broke in half
2. I figured out Mrs. Hudson was stalking us in our blogs
3. I was willing to accept a hug when I won a competition
4. I've sung the Reading Rainbow theme song a million times
5. I rode my bike to school for the last time

This all happened today and now it's time to say goodbye.

Thank you for reading my posts and dealing with my craziness. I thank you all (and the bridge above is the one the kid sat on).

'Bye Peeps.... :( :)

Hi guys, it's me Lilly! For the last time.... Last bloggers meeting. However, I'll be a middle schooler in just a few months! I have some advice for the rising 5th graders! DON'T GET ON ANY OF THE TEACHERS' BAD SIDES!!!! For the future bloggers, GET A COMFY CHAIR! Also, bring headphones and listen to music! It helps! I'll miss Chase, but now I'll be an Owl too! Wait.... Owl Frog combo? That's creepy! Anyways, bye Chase, I'll miss ya. Oh, and, in Engineering club, my team (Molly, Jane, Sam, and me)'s bridge WON!!!!!!!!!!! Bye!

Our bridge!

Good-Bye

I don't have much time but I just wanted to say GOOD-BYE!!!
I have loved Chase Street all my life, and I am sad to leave it.

Good Bye Chase Street

I wish I could stay longer, but life doesn't work like that. I have loved being a tree frog and will forever be one. My years at this school were the start of my life. It was definitely a great start. Everything I know now is because of my teachers at Chase. I can't wait to come back and visit and share what is going on in middle school.

Good Bye

When I'm writing this it will be my last blog post of the year. This is because the school year is ending. Although I am happy for the school year to end and the summer to begin I really will miss Chase Street Elementary. Next year I will be at Clarke Middle and and some of the kids in 4th grade this year will be blogging. Since I've been here 7 years there is a lot to miss. I will miss blogging, going to the library going out for recess and I will mostly miss all of my teachers I've had in the past seven years. I will also miss all of the specials teachers and the spectrum teachers and everybody else.

Teachers I've had:

• Pre-K: Ms. Dunston
• Kindergarten:  Ms. Ellett
• 1st grade:  Ms. Smith
• 2nd grade: Ms. Favors
• 3 rd grade: Ms. Ferrando 
• 4th grade: Ms. Kipling 
• 5th grade: Ms. Stokes

Ms. Hudson said this looked like my personality

My last blog

This is my last blog. It has been great blogging for Chase Street. I always looked forward to Thursday every week because that is when we would blog. Chase Street is a great school. If you ever get the chance to blog with Ms. Hudson you should take the chance. She is really cool and fun to be around. Blogging is fun because you get to skip ELT which is really good because I don't not like it at all. I think my parents made a great decision by sending me to Chase Street. I hope my sister will leave with a great memories like I have.

5th Grade Advice (for fifth graders next year)

• Try not to miss a day of school or you will be behind
• Try not to talk in class or you will sit out at recess (I know this from my personal experience)
• Pay attention in class or else you'll be bored
• Be in blogging and CARRY ON MY LEGACY
• Stay out of drama. It wont help you.
• Do your best so you can go into advanced classes so you get a better recommendation for classes in 6th grade
• Don't waste glue or pencil or dry erase markers (you will regret it in the end)
• Don't play games on the computer unless you are at home (if you do this too much you will lose your computer privileges!)

ADVICE FOR NEXT YEAR'S 5TH GRADERS!!!!!!!

Hello, rising 5th graders if you're reading this, I have some advice. One is to NEVER get involved in drama or get near it. Also to not talk in class or talk back to the teacher. You don't get that much recess time so use it wisely. You should also try and get in advanced classes to get good recommendations for 6th grade. I know I'm basically saying try your best like everyone but I really mean it. Thanks for reading.

For Upcoming 5th Graders

I am moving up to sixth grade soon but I want to give upcoming fifth graders some tips. I still do this but try not to talk in class. It will impact you! Learn as much as you can because it will help with testing and the classes you're in. Have fun but not too much or you could risk getting in trouble. Lastly have a great time since it will be your last year at Chase Street Elementary.

Advice for next year's 5th graders

Some of the tips I have for the upcoming 5th graders is that you should not skip a single day or part of a day of school as possible! The 5th grade is always moving very fast and you don't want to miss any of the learning. Don't talk in class, because if you do you usually have to skip recess. :(  Do very good on tests so you can get recommendations from your teachers for advanced classes in 6th grade. Well this is pretty much all of the things you should do in 5th grade.

LIBRARY SUMMER READING PROGRAM!!!!!

The summer library reading program!

The library summer reading program is the best! This program is all about encouraging kids and young adults to read during the summer. It's always really fun. When you sign up they give you a sheet for keeping up with your reading. after every few books or hours you get a prize. Sometimes you get a bookmark or a book. By getting to 50 hours or 100 books you can help get a trophy for your school. I hope to see you reading this summer!

MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU!!!! 

Today is may the fourth! A whole day dedicated to "Star Wars!" I mean who wouldn't want THAT!

Zoo Atlanta Visit

When we went to the zoo it was really fun. We studied all the animals at the zoo and everybody got to see their animals. I studied the red panda and got to see it but the thing was that it was asleep sadly. I got to see lots of animals and after a while we went to lunch, I was really hungry because we had been walking around a lot. I was so grateful for food. Then we went back to look at more animals. We stayed there till we normally would go home and then we went home. When we got back it was 4:00 pm. So we went home really late. Once I got home I told my mom some things about the zoo. The field trip was fun.

5th Grade Memory Essays!

Hi! Lilly here, and I'm writing about the 5th grade memory essays! Everyone gets to write an essay about either 3 of our favorite memories from our time at Chase Street, or an essay on one big memory of ours! I'm writing about....... NOPE keeping it a secret! At graduation, a few people are chosen to read their essays out loud in front of everyone! I hope I get chosen to be one of the readers! Bye!

5TH GRADE LEGACY PROGECT!!!!!!

The fifth grade legacy project is a project that every year each fifth grader does for the school to remember him/her when they leave the school to go to middle school. The legacy project has gone on for years. For example my two older sisters did their legacy project years before me one of  them did it 3 years before me. My other sister did it almost 5 years before me. My oldest sister,Sophie made her legacy project as a mural which is in the main hallway of Chase Street. My other sister, Ada made a chrysanthemum where each fifth grader in her class made a peal 

on the flower.Our fifth grade legacy project is plaques that we painted in art class,and we painted our face up close on it. We will put all of them together and hang them up in the hall.

MAKER FAIRE

Maker Faire was a blast!! Mr. Sugiuchi's couch bike was there, and that was a blast to ride and watch. The slime station was there and that was probably my favorite station over all. There was so much cool stuff to check out, that I didn't get to check everything out. :(

There was a ice cream station that had the longest line I have ever seen. Sadly I didn't get any ice cream but Madison did and she said it was IIIISSSHHHH good. Anyway the Maker Faire was a total blast, and I hope you all went to the 2017 MAKER FAIRE!!!!!!! If you didn't go this year, then be sure to go to the 2018 Maker Faire!!!

5TH GRADE LEGACY PROJECT!!!

The 5th graders are working on legacy projects! A legacy project is a thing that 5th graders do every year and make something that will be in Chase Street for as long as Chase Street stands. A couple of ones from the past are the mural you'll see in the corner next to the 5th and 4th grade pod and the hallway going to the media center, cafeteria, art and music room, etc. Others are the flower above the doorway, to the right inside the cafeteria and the mosaics of the tree of life next to the wall to the art room. Our project this year is a bunch of small wood paintings with part of our face on them put together. It will be someplace near the cafeteria. Thank you for reading!

Final four basketball

The final four basketball tournament was really intense in competition. The real final four was South Carolina, Gonzaga, Oregon, and North Carolina. South Carolina played Gonzaga and Oregon played North Carolina. North Carolina won vs Oregon and Gonzaga won vs South Carolina. In the championship it was Gonzaga vs North Carolina, and North Carolina came out with the W. But overall there were 68 college teams competing. I wanted Oregon to win because once I realized that they were in the final four it was clear that they had a chance on winning the whole thing. But that is not how things turned out.

Maker Faire!!!

Hi! Lilly here, and I'm posting about the Maker Faire! It was held at Clarke Central on April 1st, from 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm, and there were a lot of people! There was a station where you could make some slime, and another where you could make a bouncy ball! I got to do a few loops on a knitted square, and also weave a piece of yarn onto a collaborative weaving project! A station near to that was where you could get some Styrofoam scrap, and cup it into shapes using a wire with electricity running through it! I cut out my initials with it! There were a lot of other stations too, but I didn't get them all. Sadly, Mr. Sugi and Dr. Kurtz couch-cycle broke before I got to ride. 😭😫😣😢😞 Otherwise though, it was SUPER DUPER AWESOME!!!! Bye!

F.Y.I., this is not the Couch-Cycle that Mr. Sugi and Dr. Kurtz made.

Maker Faire

Maker Faire was really fun. My friend D'yana and I had an invention there. Our invention was the Insta-Du, which is a gadget that does hair in seconds except it was only a model. All the inventions there were amazing. There was a Lego piece separator because Legos always get messed up. It was almost hard to believe that kids around my age made them. Dr. Snook was there and was letting kids make slime. There was also free ice cream! It was really hot and the ice cream was really refreshing.

My Doodle Book!

Hi! It's me Lilly, and today, I'm posting about my Doodle Book! I have it on me at all times, along with my erasable pen! When I get an idea, and when I can, I'll draw a single panel comic! And, now, presenting..... LILLY'S DOODLE BOOK!!!! 😁

I'd, show, you more, but it's hard to get the photos! Another one I drew shows the problem of when a kid writes a story, and all the sentences start with "Then..." It's kind of annoying when that happens. In the panel, that's happening, and the rest of the class is asleep, and even the teacher! Another one, which is similar to the top right one, is the back cover, where Voldemort says, "THE END!", and everyone says, "WRONG!" Thanks for reading! Bye!😁😁😁😁😁

Maker Faire is coming up! I don't know about you, but I can't wait. The fourth and fifth graders here that have won 1st, 2nd or 3rd in their class for frog tank (our kid version of shark tank) will have a stand to set their invention on. I'm also one of them, with my invention called Space Meter, which is an app that hooks up to cameras on lights in parking lots so you can see all the available spaces. It costs 20 cents every time you use it, but if you want a day pass it's only 1 dollar. I know there will also be a basketball that is also a personal coach, lots of robots, a scientist that blows things up, food, the STEAM truck and lots more.

It's April 1st (yes it's April fool's day, but it's not a joke) on Saturday this week and it will be from 2:00-4:30 at Clarke Central High School. I hope to see you there! 😁😄😸😊😉

BOOKFAIR!!!!

Soon there will be an event called book fair. Book fair is where for a week the media center/library turns into a bookstore for about a week. One books that I'm excited for is Making Bombs for Hitler. This book is about the main character's sister being taken away and she has to work for the Nazis making bombs and she has to make a choice: sabotage the bombs to save strangers' lives (and if the Nazi party finds out they'll kill her), or she can make the bombs and hopefully keep her and her sister alive.

IT'S THE BOOK FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.aaronblabeybooks.com/sites/default/files/images/books/covers/pigcover.png

The Book Fair is coming! It's going to be amazing and there are so many new books! Some of the new books are Stick Cat, Pig the Pug, Making Bombs for Hitler, Pink is for Blob Fish, Fort Solitude and many many more. There are also posters, erasers and coloring books. One rule though is that you can only get an eraser, bookmark, or pencil if you get a book first. I would always recommend getting at least one book. There are always so many to choose from and there are shelves and shelves and shelves full. Sometimes you pick out the perfect book and there are some that are not your type. I hope you can go!

Book Fair!!

Hi! It's Lilly, and I'm posting about the book fair today! The book fair super fun, and I always end up with a lot of books! Some books I'm looking forward to getting are the next two books in the Upside Down Magic series! The first book was really good! It's about a girl named Rory, whose magic is kind of weird, and messes up a lot. Another book I'm going to to hopefully get is the book Go Gaming! Go Gaming Is a guide for all sorts of mobile games! There is also a lot of other books too! Bye! 😄

Book Fair

Book Fair will be Monday March 20th - Friday March 24th. There will be many many many books to chose from. Not all of the books are on the flyer, there are hundreds of other books you can see as well. The company as usual is SCHOLASTIC. The book that I am most excited about is the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid, because I have read the entire series, and I really like Jeff Kinney's books. I am also excited about the book Ghosts by Raina Telgemeier.

Spring Break 2017

My spring break was great! First I went to St Joseph's Island with my family and my best friend's family. It was great but when it was time to go I was sad, I had bug bites all over, and I was a different color. So I kinda wanted to stay but I kinda wanted to leave too. When we were about to leave I found out we were staying 2 more nights. I was happy but since my dad wasn't able to go since he had to work I missed him so I was ready to go home. I collected so many shells though! I am so glad that I was with a friend because it was really fun. Lastly when I got home I was so excited to go back to school because I was going to be able to see Mrs.Wilcox! Spring break was awesome.

The High Museum

The High Museum is a museum in Atlanta that has many portraits, paintings, murals, and statues. There were some murals from a person that the 5th grade researched and his name was Hale Woodruff. He made three murals and the first mural was called Rising Up and the second mural name is called the Court Scene. We also saw work from an artist named Radcliff Bailey who created art based off of his past experiences. The person who made this all happen was Ms.Dean (the school's art teacher) so the whole fifth grade thanks you.

DR SEUSS

Did you know that Dr Seuss's birthday is next Thursday on March 2? Our whole school will be celebrating  by eating food and dressing up relating to his books. Another fun fact I want to bring up is that, he was also a political cartoonist between 1941-1943 and made many that he put in a magazine in New York called PM. He lived from March 2, 1904 to September 4, 1991. He was a great author and made many books. He wrote many political cartoons too during World War 2 and promoted against Hitler and before we entered war asked our country to do something about this madness that was going on instead of sitting back and not caring. He was awesome and had lots of really cool quotes. I hope you celebrate too.

High Museum

Yesterday the whole fifth grade went to the High Museum on a Field Trip to Atlanta wich was a really long bus ride. One exhibition there was called Cross Country it was a bunch of really meaningful pictures from the Great Depression like Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother. We also saw some really big murals by Hale Woodruff that were about slavery and how bad African American people were treated. But I think I saw only one mural that showed white men and African Americans working together. We also looked at some really cool furniture than looked really comfortable to sit in but we could not or we would be kicked out of the museum. There was also some cool art that we could get in, like little space ship that you could slide down.

High Museum

The High Museum field trip was a fantastic, fun, and tiring field trip. We saw many famous paintings and artists like Hale Woodruff's three murals, and the Cross Country exhibit. The bus drive to the High was about two hours. If you don't know where the High Museum is located, it is in Atlanta on 14th street. We also saw sculptures and furniture. We also received a ticket to go back again FOR FREE, so thank you High Museum for that. We spent about one hour and forty five minutes looking at the artwork. This field trip was so worth the long bus ride, and definitely recommend going to the High Museum for a day. There is so much to look at!! Thank you Ms. Dean and all the 5th grade teachers for organizing and planning for us to go to the wonderful High Museum.

Dr. Seuss!

Hi! It's me Lilly again, and I'm posting about Dr. Seuss comics! Something really cool I found out about in library today is that Dr. Seuss did political comics in a newspaper that no longer exists called PM! If you thought that he just wrote/illustrated children's books, you're wrong! Also, Dr. Seuss' books had messages related to things happening in the '40s! In The Sneetches, Dr. Seuss was actually writing about segregation! The Butter Battle Book, is about the Cold War! The Lorax is about the environment, and Horton Hears a Who is about how you should protect people, even if they're different, and especially if they can't protect themselves!

https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3718/13517562993_fe977466aa_b.jpg

I think it's really cool how almost everything Dr. Seuss wrote was more than just silliness! I already thought that he was amazing, but now I think he was even more amazing! I'm going to put up a few of his political comics now, but that's about it otherwise. Bye!

The High Museum Of Art

We went to the High Museum on February, 22 with the fifth grade and got to see many beautiful different pieces of art. Everything we saw was real. We got to see the actual murals by Hale Woodruff, and it was amazing. They were huge murals and they each filled up a whole wall. I couldn't believe that I saw them. I also saw the Migrant Mother picture from the Great Depression. I was so blown away by all of the cool art I saw there. Aside from the art I have a brother who goes to a boarding school called Rabun Gap Nacoochee school and I was wearing his old jacket from there. When we went into the elevator a women went with us and asked where I got my jacket and I told her and she said that is where she graduated from.  It was pretty cool. The visit to the museum was fun.

SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS

https://c1.staticflickr.com/6/5173/5513043127_389d31b4c0_b.jpg

I just read the 12th book of series of unfortunate events. They are really great books. They are about 3 kids whose parents have been killed in a fire. They are being constantly passed from relative to relative because VERY, VERY, VERY bad things have been happening. They had pretty rich parents so they have been left an enormous fortune that their first guardian is trying to steal when the oldest child comes of age. Their names are Violet who is a great inventor, Klaus who is very well read and very, very smart and Sunny Baudelaire who has the sharpest teeth ever, which help them in many ways. This book is awesome and I would recommend it to ages 6 and up. Also there is a Netflix version that if I were you I would watch after reading. This picture right above this is the cover of the first book.
