Poetry Lesson

In writing class we learned about poetry. For example: prose, meter, free verse, diamante, cinquain, etc. I already know a little bit about poetry, so I’m interested in learning more.  We combined two writing classes together, because the teachers said is fun to teach together. We watched a Brain Pop video and practiced writing different kinds of poems. We learned new vocabulary too!

After all, I think this was a great lesson. Although we took a vocabulary quiz, we had fun making our own poems. I’m looking forward to learning more lessons!

 Here is one of my poem that I wrote:

         Diamante Poem- Opposite

Black

Evil, Dangerous

Killing, blooding, dying

Chocolate, Pencil, Panda, Teeth

Playing, Laughing, Dreaming

Bright, Fresh
White

2012 Amazing çlåss HikE :)

           

Do you like hiking? I like it because it is good exercise. This year, we went hiking at Matilija Canyon. At first we went to Mr. Lang’s house. Mr. Lang is the 6th grade teacher. His house was awesome, and some of his little house was made of wood. Even though was cold up there, we got to have some tangerines. After that, we went hiking and creek crossing. 

         

I was with Miss. A, the horseback riding teacher at OVS. She turned on the radio, and the music was okay. Finally we went hiking on Matilija Canyon. The narrow trail was about 5-6 miles, and It was not hard for me because I was busy talking. I got bug bites because I was wearing shorts. We had lunch at the creek and, it was exciting to cross the creek!

We started to hike more after lunch, and we saw banana slug! It looks just like a tiny banana moving slowly on the ground. When we were done hiking, we went and play in the river. Mr. Lang started to throw moss at a person, and that’s how we started the “moss fight!” I throw one on Jacob’s head, he looked around. Jacob is a boy from sixth grade. It was so funny how all the sixth graders fight against Mr. Lang! haha :)

         

We had fun time at Matilija Canyon. Although I got bug bites, but I had a fantastic time hanging out with my friends! When we got back from hiking, the teachers let us have soda. I felt exhausted from the class hike, but I will never forget the hiking trip on Matilija Canyon.

My Holiday

During the holiday break, I went shopping with my family.  I ate a lot of delicious Taiwanese food. I missed it so much. I also watched fireworks at the end of the year, but it was really crowded.

When I get back from the airport, my mom prepared Taiwanese food for me to eat, and it was amazing. I’ve always wanted to eat it. I went to my aunt’s store. She sells drink and desserts. I think I gained some weight.

I shopped with my family, and the line for Japanese food was huge. We waited for about 40 minutes, but it supposed to be 10 minutes. My dad was mad, so he talked to the line person. She let us go in front of the line. There was three food main themes. One of them is Japanese, Hollywood, and I forgot the other one… It was a good exorcise.

There will always be fireworks at the end of the year in Taiwan. We count from 10 to 0, and the fireworks start to show. This year, I went to 101 (101 is a really tall building in Taipei) It was wonderful, and I video taped it. There was bunch of people, so we could not find a good place to watch.

I had fun spanning time with my friends and family. I went back to my old school, and it was really fun. I wish we can just have one more week. This holiday break reminds me the life in Taiwan, and I enjoyed it!
