This week in academy we did lots for fun things. I thought that this week was the most hands on and most fun week that we've had in a long time. In art we were finishing taping our little movies about the Academy and what we do in it. My partners and I are completly not done with ours. We only got to interview 3 out of the 4 teachers that we wanted to and we havn't filmed all of the different scenes that we wanted to. Every time that we get the chance to film anything the teachers are always in meetings.
This week in science we were working on the periodic table and working with the elements. We were learning about the parts of the elements atoms like the; protonse book was probubly the; nuetrons and electrons. We had to do this paper and answer questions on them. I had already learned all of this stuff from 7th and 8th grade so i found it prety easy to do.
In english this week we were finishing up our Of Mice and Men book. I thought that the best book I have ever read from school. I was always so interesting, there were never any dull parts when I read it. The ending thought really wasnt what I exspected, I thought that they were actually going to live the future dream that they kept talking about. I really thought that they were going to get a house and live of the fat of the land. when george killed him I was really sad and I had my mom read the last chapter and she cryed. My aunt has down syndrom and she acts like that all the time; isnt able to remember things and sometimes gets really mad and it sort of scars you. I just kept thinking at the end what I would do if my aunt killed someone and what the different posibilities would be. I really felt a conection when I read the book which I have never felt reading any other one befor.
In social studies this week we were just learning about rivers and how important they were. Some of them I didnt realize were soo important to the people that lived around it. I thought that it was very interesting what we learned in social studies this week.
This week I would have to say was a pretty good week. I really learned lots about the didfferent parts of the atom and the rivers constribution to the people. Also I forgot to tell you that we got to watch the movie Of Mice and Men if we were all done reading our book by friday. I finished mine on wednesday so I was in the clear. We didn't get to finish the whole movie on friday but what I'v seen I thought was preety good. Lots of my friends who have already seen the movie said that it was sort of lame and they said that it was really borring. At first, in the first half an hour it was kind of borring but got more interesting once they got there job on the ranch. Lots of the parts of the book werent in the movie and also some of the characters were not what I excpected them to be or look like in real life. Such as lennie, they said that he was a big man and when I heard that in the book I was thinking that he was this big fat guy. Also the black stable buck I didnt think would walk with such a hunch back. Other wise the rest of the characters were portade just as I thought they would be from reading the book!
