Tommy won the performance category, and Frenya came in second for the trifold one. Charlotte and her partner, Olivia C. came in second for performance. Everyone's was awesome! We got to see them before library was over and I spotted some that I really enjoyed! I will be sure to include pics and in a link. ;)

Mega Update!!!

YES!!! My partner and I won the performance category for Book-a-Palooza! Mrs. Hudson told us the scores were super duper close, though. It was super tense for me when the judges were grading. 

Now let me tell you about the bloggers' projects:

•  Me (Tommy) and Spencer's winning video performance about The Jedi Academy :https://youtu.be/Ur5dxu4DJ7I
• Pierce and Bird did a performance of Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library
• Charlotte M. and Olivia C. did a performance of The Westing Game
• Penelope and Maggie did a performance about the book Wonder
• Josie did an art project for The Hunger Games
• Frenya did a trifold about the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series

                                                                                                                                                                 This is Tommy, over and out.

Update!

Hola!
       Today I am going to do an update on what's going on around Chase Street! So, today Mrs. Hudson announced the winners for Book-A-Palooza, art club is doing masks, engineering club is learning about new tech, and team sports is playing games. The week after next we are having an author visit by Carmen Deedy. I am very excited, because I love her books! Last weekend, we got just a tiny bit of snow! I was with my mom in Augusta, so I was not able to spend the snow day in Athens. In book clubs, we are reading two books, one is Number the Stars, and the other one is Milkweed. That's all for now!

Clubs!!!!

I'm going to write about clubs today. These are the bloggers' clubs:

• Penelope, Charlotte, and I are in art
• Tommy, Josie, and Frenya are in engineering
• There are no bloggers in team sports.

I like art because it is fun. It does not have a seating chart. And we get to make fun projects. We are making masks. It is very messy and hard. Those are some reasons that I like art club.

Book Clubs

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/be/1945-05-08_The_Stars_and_Stripes_Extra_Nazis_quit_anagoria.JPG

On Fridays we have book clubs. The books we read are Historical Fiction.  The people who are in my book club are Josie, Charlotte M., Spencer, Charlotte S., Alayna, Saraya. The books we have read are NightJohn and Esperanza Rising. NightJohn was my least favorite book, because it was very violent. NightJohn is about a slave that knows how to read and goes around and teach other slaves how to. Esperanza Rising is about the Great Depression and Esperanza moves to America and had to work hard at a camp just for Mexicans.

Author Visit!!!

On February 10th we are going to have and author visit!! We have already had this author visit before but I am super excited because she was really funny last time that she came. It is CARMEN DEEDY!!!!!!! Some books that she has written are Martina the Beautiful Cockroach, Agatha's Feather Bed, The Library Dragon, and a book that Mrs.Hudson is reading to us, The Secret of Old Zeb. One of my favorite Carmen Deedy books is Martina the Beautiful Cockroach which is about a beautiful cockroach who is trying to find a husband. I suggest that you read it and other books by her.

Bye,

Josie T.

Update!

Bonjour! 

Today I am just going to tell you about what has been going on at Chase and around us, since I am clueless about what to write.

The Book-A-Palooza project is due tomorrow and my partner Pierce A. and I are done! It feels wonderful to be done early and ready to present! We did a stop motion video that was based on the book that we are doing, Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library. It looks good so far!

In book club we have started a new book called Milkweed. It is about a gypsy boy in WW2 who is in Poland. It is really good so far and I recommend it.

Thanks for reading this blog and comment!

Au Revoir!

Art Class

Hey artists,
     This week I'm doing something in art that I thought was pretty cool. We are doing a picture of an idiom listed. An idiom is a saying that means something else than what it states. We first picked from a basket of idioms then we illustrate them. For example, it is raining cats and dogs.You would draw cats and dogs falling from the sky. I got apple of your eye. I am planning to draw a person with one apple insdead of a pupil.

                                                        Go do some painting,
                                                                Charlotte M.

My clubs

The club I am in is art club. It is very fun. We are making paper masks. It is a very messy project. It is a funny club because of the people in it. I was in engineering club last time. I think I like them the same. They are both very fun. That is my opinion on the clubs.

THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE

Hey guys, 

Today I'm going to blog about the Presidential Debate! I am a political nerd, so I was really excited to be doing a blog about it! First, I'll start with who is leading in the polls:

1. Donald J. Trump

2. Hillary Clinton

3. Bernie Sanders

4. Martin O'Malley

5. Joe Biden

6. Lincoln Chafee

7.Lawrence Lessig

8. Jim Webb

These are the people who are leading in the polls. The debate is getting more and more personal. All the candidates are attacking each other with things they did in the past. It's really Donald vs. every other candidate running. The Republican party is actually beating the Democratic party, although it's really close! That's all for now!

                                       Goodbye,

                                                Penelope
