Lit Circles with a partner.

I liked this "Lit Circles with a partner" thing because it helped me understand what I had to improve and I also got to help my partner. We got to work on our partner work skills and also improve our questions, passages, and connections buy reading my partner's questions and try to write something as good as my partner's work. This was the best part. We got learn how other people wrote things. I only one problem, I accidently erased my partner's connection, so he had to do it again. If i didn't work with a partner, I wouldn't have asked someone to do extra work.

Literature Discussions

In humanities this trimester, we had to read chapters of books and write a passage, question, connection and find a vocab word for each time we finish read. The discussions help us understand the book better and predict what will happen next.

The discussions help us understand the book better. For example, when I didn't get what happened to the characters in the story, the discussions help us because other people reading the same book explain what happened in the book during the discussions. Also, when we don't understand a part of a story, then I wouldn't enjoy the book much, and I think the Lit circles helped me a lot.

Literature circles help us predict what will happen next. When people are together, and share our thoughts about the book and share what we think was important, we could add all those facts together and come up with a prediction of what we think will happen next.

Because of these reasons, I think Literature Discussions are good and they help me with my learning, thinking and helps me improve my discussing skills.

Lines of Symmetry

Picture of me holding a case. It has a line of symmetry. It runs to the opening where i am pointing to to the opposite end of the case.

I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS

I was taking a nap when I heard a SQUISH! It sounded like my grandma's fart, but it was twice the loudness. Also, my grandma went out to get some food. Our house is built under a new mangrove tree now. Before we moved, we lived under a old old mangrove tree. It always gave me an eerie feeling.
We got our new home when giants came and planted mangrove trees.

Squish Squash. "I will now show you how to plant a mangrove tree" said the guide giant. He dug a hole and planted a tree. I ran to tell my mom that a very nice giant planted a nice house for us. My mom told me to pack up my things so we could move straight away. When I reached my room, I heard squishes and saw a boot deep down in the mud sinking fast. I screamed. I grabbed my stuff and ran out the exit. My mom was waiting for me there. We saw giants sinking, planting trees, getting muddy and killing crabs by sitting on them accidently. My family stuck together. After hours, we reached our new house by the last giant went squishing out. The house is cleaner, bigger, and even close to the pool and also close to high land. Thank you nice giants!! Thank you for your kindness and thanks for killing our enemies, the crabs.

ROSEE GOES TO THE RESCUE

     I was four at that time. I was in a preschool in korea called 'kids' College'. I was the smallest kid and also the weakest kid of the whole preschool. My best friend was taller than me but he was very weak too. Unfortunately, lunch time was the most scariest time in preschool  for me and my friend. I got out my lunch   box. My friend hates what his mom packs him so we always share my food. 

     Suddenly, my friend said he had to go to the bathroom. He said he should be back in a second but he didn't come back. There was a strong feeling pulling me. I had to go look for him. I ran around the building but there was no sign of him. I looked outside the window. There he was. He was surrounded by Edward, Ben, and Richard. They were the scariest, biggest and strongest kids in preschool. This meant something bad was going to happen. 

     I ran down the stairs and struggled with the door. After a while, I finally got out. When I put both feet on the grass, my legs were like jelly. No kid ever tried to stop the bullies. So, I was trying to go back but my legs won't obey me. They were too busy wobbling. I decided to step forward. It worked. I guessed that I wasn't allowed to go back so I slowly walked towards the gang. I heard my friend cry. I was scared. But I couldn't let my friend get bullied so I poked Richard and waved. I went closer to my best friend and told him to get a teacher while I try to distract them with my new necklace. Without any complaint, my best friend ran. If he kept running with that speed, it would have taken about five minutes for the teacher to come save my dear life. Unfortunately, he slowed down on the steps. So it was like ten minutes until the teacher came. 

     Also, the bullies didn't get distracted by my necklace so I got a punch in the head. I got a big bump with blue and purple surrounding it. 

     By the way, I kind of forgot my best friend's name but it started with a 'P'.

How did early humans use art to express their prehistoric culture?

   People in the olden days didn't know how to speak so they expressed their feeling through art. Also, some scientists believe that it was part of worshipping gods. Here are three types of discoveries made.

    The first one was a picture of some art and carving tools people used to draw and express themselves. They might have used berries and fruits mixed with animal fat to draw. The white rock kind of bone is kind of round on the tip so it can be used to make fine lines. There was also a rock where it was used to make sculptures.

     Finally, a cool example sculpters of bulls. They are most likely to be made in a cave. It is also shown that kids roamed around it. The Bulls was probably a gift to the gods in a ceremony. The ancient people probably used one of the carving tools in the picture.

      As you can see, the way ancient hominid people expressed their feelings are unique. I never knew that art would have been very handy in the olden days.

Among the three choices, Arceologer, Geographer , and historian is to be an arceologer.

The reasons are:

1. So I could dig, explore and have new and fun adventures!

2. So I could travel around the world in search of ancient objects!

3. To learn about other cultures.

99.99% ABOUT ME!!!

Hi, my name is Rosee Park(So Young). Did you know that this is my 7th year at ISKL? I was born on February eighth, 1999 at 2:17 in the morning. I was bright pink in a diaper which took up at least three fifths of me! I went to an American international preschool in Korea. Then, I moved to KID'S COLLEGE because the teachers in the old preschool scared me. Later, I move to Canada when I was about 3 or 4. I lived there for a short while then moved back to Korea for about 1 or2 years. Then i came right here to this wonderful place! MALAYSIA!

   I have a very annoying brother in 12th grade. His name is Eric. I believe that i am smarter than him. I want to be older than Eric but unfortunately Eric is 7 years older than me.
    I really like the Beatles alot. Especially Paul McCartney. Infact, I have all of the Beatles albums. I also like Micheal Jackson.

I am very talkative but I try not to do that just for a good grade.

SO far...... I like all my teachers. Especially Mrs. Reiser. She is the BEST!!!!
I am serious. Best subject so far is humanity. It is because humanity challenges me and makes me do my best.

I LOVE MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!
