A Scary Recess =_=

This snake is similar to the snake we saw at the playground

Today is such a scary day! Guess what?! During recess time, my friend Audrey saw a garden snake! Of course, all of the fourth graders crowded around the slides, where the snake kept slithering. 

Playground that the snakes were found

The recess teachers told all of us to stay away from the snake. Finally, the teachers called two of the school janitors, and the janitors brought some tools (I can't name them). Suddenly, two garden snakes peeked out from a hole. TWO!! Surprisingly, all of the students kept standing, watching the janitors catching the snakes. 


After a while, a janitor caught the larger snake! Not with his hands, but with a tool. We clapped our hands loudly as the janitor threw away the snake in the woods down the hill.


Because the other snake is tinier and skinnier, it took a long, long time for the janitor to catch it! It's so scary!


3.29.2012 is a scary and awesome day! I wouldn't want to forget this day because it's the first time I ever saw a snake in such a close distance (there's always a glass between the snake and visitors in the zoos...)! Luckily, the janitor threw the snakes quite far away! Hope they won't bother us anymore!

My Research Of Poodles And Dachshunds

  My research of Poodles and Dachshunds is almost done! Yipee!

  The research is a book club project. The book I read for several weeks is called Flawed Dogs, and it's quite good!


  I could choose one of the options to present my project--poster board or using computer. I chose the poster board option because it's easier, but I need to decorate it. 

                                                                 A miniature poodle

  First, I need to gather TONS of information about Poodles and Dachshunds, which is extremely hard! I'd also need a research conclusion, at least four colored photos about the dogs, and 5 similarities and differences! 

 

  One day, my mom and I went to St. Michaels, a huge store with millions of art supplies! We bought a neon-green poster board, and several dog stickers. All of them are AWESOME!!

  This project is 'kind of' hard because I need to make up my OWN sentences about Poodles and Dachshunds, decorate the poster board, and present it in front of my WHOLE class! OMG!!


  I can't wait to see my finished project! Here's a HUGE surprise--I got a 100 on my Titanic project! Isn't it great?! :]

My 'kind of' Worst Grade In Math T_T

Omigosh!


I got 94 for my MATH benchmark!!


I mean, I can't believe that I got the best math grade in my whole class!! My math teacher, Mrs. Hveem told us that the math benchmark is REALLY, REALLY hard.


But I don't think so........ I missed 3 questions. 3!! I made 2 silly mistakes, and there is 1 question that I actually know how to do, but I still missed it. So sad.......


One of the silly mistakes' answer is 104, but I forgot to put the '0' in it--14. Why am I so silly?!


For the good news, my math grade is the best in my class!! YAY!! The best grade in fourth grade is a minus one, so I'm 'pretty' good. :D 


I'm gonna find out who missed one question in the math benchmark, and got the BEST grade! Wonder who she is.....(I think it's a girl) >.<  She sure is EXTREMELY smart!! Really, really smart!!


Still, it's my worst grade in math! Most of the time, I got 100 or 98, 96...... Now I got 94!! At least that is an A. 


I am SO happy with my grade, and surprise, too! Please, wish me luck for the real STAAR (State of Texas Academic Assessments Readiness) test after spring break~~
