Today we went to the Christalite Methodist Home for our second time in the school year. My group's craft was making rings and it went well because once we taught them how to do it some people got the idea and did it by there selves  and used there hands to point to the things they wanted.They had a fun time too with all the rings they did and did a great job. Even though some seniors  spoke a different language they used there hands to communicate.   The difference between this trip and the last one for me was that last time I was really confused on how to teach them the instructions because it was may first time. On the second time I went I knew how to teach them so I could teach them more easily about how to do it. I also learned on the second trip that you can use your hands to communicate with the seniors on the first time I was thinking how can I communicate without words and freaking out. What I really enjoyed the most about today was that when we said the ins...

     Today we read the The Lion and the Mouse  Aesop's fables. The theme of this story was friendship. Friendship can do anything because if you have friendship you can count on people that they are with you and count on them to be there. In The Lion and the Mouse  since the Lion didn't eat the mouse the mouse got away and when the Lion got trap and the mouse wasn't eaten the mouse saved the Lion.

So when we make crafts or something I think it is friendship and just sitting side by side to each other.    Our class goals for our next visit to the Methodist home could me: Try to show our time more meaningful To try to ...

We have just finished our non-fiction presentations. My group were experts on Germs. Here is Group Presentation . The most interesting thing I learnt about was that not all germs are bad. Some can actually be good because I read it in a book and the information had facts about germs. My job in my group was to talk about how to keep germs from invading in your body and talk about what I learnt to my group in the books because tat's how you work as a team. What I would do differently next time is to not worry about if you forget your lines because if you do then you get overwhelmed and a little scared and then you can mess up even more. I enjoyed it because it was really fun learning about germs and how they move around. Also making the presentation because I learned what other people learned in the presentation.
