C4K #3: Osana
Osana had a blog post about a famous, British explorer, Sir Francis Drake. She provided a picture and a very detailed description of his life. She said that Sir Francis Drake did a lot for Queen Elizabeth by stealing spices, Spanish treasures, and getting her land. I can see why he was an English hero. He was a great explorer.
C4K #4: Care
Care wrote about what it might be like to be invisible. It was very creative and showed lots of imagination. She talked about how she wanted to scare her teacher, then go to a restaurant and make the dishes fly all over the place, then steal a rental car and go to an amusement park, then go to a birthday party, get ice cream, and go see how big Mt. Everest was. I thought this post was really interesting and made me think about what I wanted to do if I were invisible.
C4K #5: Sophie
Sophie wrote a blog post about a book she had read called “Out on the Edge”. She talked about where the book took place, a summary of the plot, her favorite parts, and what she thought the message was. The book had lots of twists and turns. I thought her book review was very well written. Her thoughts were very detailed and I could see she really enjoyed the book. I noticed in her other posts that she was interested in romance and romance books. I thought her book report sounded very interesting and reminded me of books that I also read.
C4K #6: Omar
Omar wrote a blog post telling a creative story about going back in time to relive a part of your life. It was about a football player who had a chance to win the “big game” with only ten seconds left. Before he catches a pass, he wakes up and discovers he was dreaming. But then he goes to the game and everything happens the same way, but before he catches the ball he finds he is thirteen again. The story was very detailed and showed that he had a creative and wonderful imagination. In his teachers blog, he wrote “Writers edit, revise, discuss, and revise again. And writers need a place to publish that revised material. That’s what blogs can be used for.” I reinforced this idea and told him that although he did have some spelling and punctuation errors, those are minor and he will get better with that each and every time he writes. I really enjoyed reading his story.
C4K #7: Dakota
Dakota is in the fourth grade and in one of her math classes she had to participate in the O.R.E.O project. The O.R.E.O project is “Our Really Exciting Online” project. They had to lick off all the icing in an oreo and see how long it took them. Then they had two tries to see how many oreos they could stack. Then they had to stick the whole oreo in their mouth for fifteen seconds and explain what it was like before they could eat it. Then they had to make a sculpture out of the icing. It sounded like she had a really fun time with this project. She gave good details about her records and how long it took her to do the parts in the assignment. I was also really impressed on how well her writing, punctuations, grammar, etc. It seemed like she was really enjoying math which makes me really happy because I love math!
