This year in LA, we started reading Wisdom Tales. They are basically what they sound like, tales from hundreds of years ago that each have their own set of morals. After we read through around 30 tales, we all picked a tale we likes to turn in into a comic. I chose a tale called Feathers.
We used multiple apps to make our comics, but if you want to make your own all you need is a drawing app, (procreate, sketchbook, etc.) And comic life. Comic life is basically an app where you can put in your drawings, and there are many fonts and designs to choose from.
Thank you for reading, I hope you can make a comic of your own!
There are many sports to choose from, but my personal favorite is field hockey. I play for Bull City Field hockey, and my team just recently had a tournament in Virginia. My team has two hour practice sections on Tuesdays and Thursdays, where each practice we work on one skill, like wall passes, and then we scrimmage.
Field hockey takes a lot of different skills, and the skills can be different depending on what position you play. One of the most important skills for all positions are pulls. Pulls are when you pull the ball back and forth quickly. Pulls can help defenders stop attackers from getting the ball and scoring. Pulls can help midfielders pass to their teammates. Pulls can help forwards get around defenders and score.
Thank you for reading, I hope you can try out field hockey soon!
Chinese is a very hard language to learn. But with our teacher Guo Lao Shi, it is a very amazing learning experience. During all of the hard work we’ve done we have lots of fun. We are very proud of all the work we have done this year!
One big part about the Chinese language is the characters. When learning characters, you have to follow a very specific stroke order. Characters are very specific and very challenging to master, but when we work hard it all pays off. When writing Chinese characters in a traditional form, we use brushes and ink to make calligraphy. When doing calligraphy you have to be super careful by holding the brush right and getting the perfect amount of ink and water. This skill is very challenging to do because when you mess up a little bit the whole character is ruined and have to do the steps all over again perfectly.
One of my favorite things about Chinese class is that we don’t just learn they characters, we learn culture too. Last year, we did a dragon dance and we got to perform it in front of the school. This year we are doing a super fun surprise this year but we will not give it away. During Chinese class we made many delicious foods like dumplings, ice cream, and spicy Ramen.
In our Chinese class we have tests and quizzes very frequently. At the beginning of this year we had a whole review lesion test with about 50-60 words. Then more in the middle of the year we started to have tests on characters and speaking. 我喜欢吃苹果。That means I like eating apples.
Thank you so much for reading our blog. We are very proud of all the work we have
Ever since my sister left for college, Thanksgiving has been more important to me than ever. It’s one of the only times I ever get to see my sister and spend time with my family. This has helped me not take even the basic things for granted, like having my family around. Another aspect of thanksgiving is the history around it. Did you know that thanksgiving originated from Europeans and the Wampanoags having a feast together, In 1621? Another fun fact about thanksgiving is that turkey wasn’t originally on the menu. This Thanksgiving, I had two weeks off of school. (A much needed break.) My sister flew down to North Carolina, where our family lives, on Wednesday with a lot of homework to do. On Thanksgiving day, we all shared what we were grateful for. Here are a few:
