Today´s SLJ activities was about Snowball poem. A Snowball poem is a type of poem with either 1 word or 1 letter longer than the last line. This is my poem on Summer.
Kwanzaa is an African-American holiday symbolizing the need for a harmonious and principled togetherness in the family, the neighborhood, the nation, and the world.
The seven people in the stamp are representing the guiding principles that Kwanzaa celebrates are unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith.
One of the tasks for SLJ was design a machine that will help to sleep and wake up. Just to clarify, SLJ stands for Summer Learning journey. I designed one and named it The Brainvigorator. This is what I created.
This week for reading, we have been learning about Christmas Carols. I chose to do tasks on Jingle Bells. This is information about Jingle Bells.
Born in 1822, songwriter James Lord Pierpont composed the music and wrote the lyrics for the holiday standard.
When the holiday ditty was first printed by a Boston music publishing house in 1857, it was released under the title “One Horse Open Sleigh.” When it was reissued two years later, the song had the more familiar title of “Jingle Bells.”
Although “Jingle Bells” is now a Yuletide (christmas) staple, there is no mention of Christmas or any other holiday in the song. Some historical accounts report that the tune was first performed for a Thanksgiving service at the church of either Pierpont’s father or brother, but the lyrics might have been too risqué for an ecclesiastical (church) audience. It was the first song to be broadcasted from space.
One of the tasks are design your own bell. This is my bell.
Today, we have been creating a poster about stewardship. Being stewardship is important because Earth is our home. This is my Poster.

By the way we´re living right now, the Earth is threatened by us. We can help the Earth be a better place by doing the right thing. This is a video we watched about we can be stewards of the Earth.
For today, we had to make a reflection on term 3.

For the last few weeks, we had been focusing on a production performance. The title was called Jonah a fishy tail. Everybody got a turn to be seen onstage by doing a dance while singing. There were 7 songs and 4 backgrounds. Our class got to be the sea creatures. We had 3 songs. Our songs was called Belly of a whale, Lord rescue me and Gods love, don´t stop. I was a puffer fish in the middle row. I was excited for the real performance but I was sick so I stayed home.
