Election Day at my school







Hello Readers,

I thought it was going to be a regular day at school. The principal said we were going to have a mock election. The computers were in the rotunda, one of them was beside the office and the other one was beside the guidance office. All the students in school had to vote for Barack Obama or John McCain. After everybody voted, the principal announced on the intercom that Barack Obama had won because he had the most votes from the students at school. I can not remember the number of votes that Barack Obama had or the number of votes for John McCain.

I remember that everybody in my class screamed to the top of our lungs and some of us said yes!

    The results of the polls:

    John McCain - 62 Votes

    Barack Obama - 598 Votes

    Thank you Teacher Smith for your help with pictures and the election results.

The Best Obama Book and Book Signing

Image
Hello Readers, Today we went to a book signing and I was very happy! There was a lot of people, there was a girl tugging at my leg. Nikki Grimes said that she wanted us to dream on. I had a book about BARACK OBAMA signed by Nikki Grimes and illustrator Bryan Collier. I asked, what made you want to write a book about Barack Obama? She paused for a few seconds and said, " Yes I love to write, it would be lots of publicity, and it would bring attention to my other books and writings. Once the research began, she began to like him, she began to understand his message, leaning more led to greater appreciation. Following his campaign ups and downs made my heart jump." The book was a "crash book." In December of 2007, the publisher contacted her and requested 3 weeks for research and writing, as opposed to the usual 3 to 4 months for book research alone. Here is the author's website: http://www.nikkigrimes.com/

Math Test

Hello Readers, I have a Math test on Friday, February 13,2009 about congruent, similar figures, symmetry, flip, slide, turn.

Symmetry is a shape that you can fold in half and it looks the same on both sides. Flip is when a shape is flipped. Slide is when a shape moves but does not change shape. Turns is when a shape has a point that moves in any direction.
