In Language Arts this year we read a book called The Last Cuentista. The Last Cuentista is a book about a girl on Earth named Petra who has to evacuate from Earth due to a crash from Halley’s Comet. Even if you survive the comet strike, the Earth would be uninhabitable. Therefore, Petra plans to evacuate earth to a planet called Sagan on a spaceship that looks like a cricket. This trip will take three hundred and eighty years.
Midway through the book we were assigned to make our dream planet (or our ideal world). My ideal world had the best of my imagination including: hot snow (where you can ski but not be cold), broccoli that tastes like watermelon and purple skies. Now that should be everyone’s dream! My planet would be in a universe close to my friends. You can get to other planets in my universe with a short rocket ride that leaves every hour. See my blog post for more details.
After the assignment about our world, we made our own art book about it with an amazing person named Peg Gignoux. Ms. Gignoux is an expert in art and taught us how to make our world come to life. One method that we used to make our paper background was a technique called Akua printing. This is when we roll paints on a plastic pad, get plants and flowers, then put paper on top and roll it with a roller. Since the paints could stain our clothes, we had to wear aprons. After we made our Akua prints, we pasted it into our book to make scenes about our planet.
In conclusion, I really learned a lot and enjoyed this project. It makes reading much more fun and interesting when you get to use your imagination to build worlds and then turn it into art. I think it would be great to do more projects like this in the future.
In Language Arts this year we read a book called 
In the beginning of May we were assigned a new project. We had to make an educational slideshow. We are allowed to choose whatever topic we would like to. The presentation had to be five minutes long. We were allowed to use images, props etc. For example, one person was doing a presentation on lacrosse and he brought in all his gear. 
In Science we learned about heat and heat transfer. We were assigned a project and it looked exciting. I could wait! We had to make a heat shield.This heat shield would have to protect a raw egg or “eggstronaut” as my science teacher would say. We have to protect the egg from the heat of a blow torch! But there are rules we have a certain amount of credits we can spend on materials for example tin-foil is 15 credits per eight inches. We only had one hundred credits. The heat shield also could weigh more than forty five grams and had to be within one cm thick.
Have you wondered what you could do with your Legos? One day my mom came up to me. She said,”Jack, you need to start doing charity work.” We brainstormed for almost a week and eventually decided that we were doing something with Legos but we needed a partner. So we chose Graysen. Our Final Project was to present a slide show to the school. The slide show asked people to donate Legos. After that we will sanitize and give them to the Boys and Girls club. The Legos will be given to the kids. The kids will be able to play with the legos on Lego Wall, a Lego is a board that you can build Legos off of. What is the Boys and Girls club? The Boys and Girls club is a nonprofit organization that gives kids a safe place to stay after school. They have educational, outdoor and fun activities!
