Colonial Life

Dear Diary,

Today I made a dress for Nina my Daughter she leaped with joy. I am very dreadful because I have to make soap, the last time I did it I burned myself with my fellow homemaker. It smells horrible and is very messy. It was kind of difficult for my husband to work because of the snow, and it was hard for me to wash our clothes and dry them. Today all of the homemakers went to go haul water, after that i told Nina to go heat it, and she burned herself.  Today I made a mistake I put one of the wet clothes outside and it froze. So it’s kind of hard being a homemaker, but it is still cool to do.

Me vs Online Me

When I’m not online don’t usually do not seem as tough as I am when I’m playing a online game with other people, but when I am I try my best to seem tough and like I’m  not frustrated, but I actually am. Most of the time I’m either playing online or playing offline, (mostly online). I seem chill and calm, but I actually am a little anxious and frustrated, When I’m play with someone on the computer they don’t know I feel so they assume  that I’m okay or cool with it but I am sometimes stressful. As you can see some people aren’t the way they seem online as they do in real life I’m that way to. So that is me vs me online.

Jamestown or Plymouth

Plymouth because there wasn’t much fighting it was more peaceful even though there were harsh weathers. The pilgrims were in Massachusetts seek freedom to worship, while the people from Jamestown seek gold and other metals to get wealthy, while the pilgrims from Plymouth came to colonize. Jamestown only had males while Plymouth had males and females. That’s why I choose Plymouth.

9/11 Reflections

9/11 is when the terrorist hijacked 4 passenger planes they crashed 2 of the planes into the Twin Towers, one in the Pentagon, and one in a field in Pennsylvania. The plane that crashed  in Pennsylvania had passengers who fought back and steered it in a field and saved many lives. The 2 planes that crashed in Manhattan made the Twin Towers fall. When one of the planes hit both of the towers a lot of people jumped and some got crushed from the flying debris. The plane that hit the Pentagon killed children and soldiers. It was one of the biggest attacks since the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

So Long 4th Grade

The most important thing I learned was long division. My favorite project was lighting a light bulb up with a battery. I was most surprised by the hard questions in 4th grade. The thing I disliked most was the writing STAAR Test.
