Avatar 3D!!!!!

My dad took me to see AVATAR 3D! It was like the movie was in the room with me and my dad! There was a guy with tiny legs who couldn't use his legs so he got in a blue person and used him to do stuff. In the Avatar village they ride horses but their horses have 6 hoofs instead of 4 which I laughed at but then my dad said that I shouldn't laugh at other cultures so I stopped. I got Junior Mints because they are my favorite. The bad guy in the movie had a gun that had a knife on it! I bet it shoots that knife if you press a button on the side of the gun or something. Dad said that the blue people were supposed to be Native Americans but I don't think that any of them were blue so I think my dad was making one of his jokes. When we left the movie there was a basket to put your 3D glasses in but I wanted to keep them so I put them in my hoodie pocket and threw my candy box in there so it would make a sound like glasses dropping. I can't wait to wear my 3D glasses around and see stuff pop out at me!!!!

Spring time

Hello my name is Randy. Today I saw spring is here well almost. I saw many things that said spring time is here. First I saw a bunny. In winter bunnys do not play outside because it is too cold and they are small. Also I saw little bumps on the trees. Those are called buds and they are baby leaves. I was not a bud though because I am not a leave. Finally I saw and heard birds, too. Those are signs of spring because they live other places when Chicago is cold. Bears hibernate in winter and that's an other word for nap only longer. I didnt see bears though but I know spring is here.

A Note From Ms. Fay

Hello, Readers! Welcome to this internet blogging site! As a teacher, I always try to come up with new and inventive ways for my students to express themselves, learn and play. When I was in fourth grade, my teacher, Mrs. Applebottom, had us write logs of our adventures about the town. How passe! It's the 21st century, hello! My net savvy students will be carrying the Applebottom torch, but with a fun new techno spin!

My fourth grade class will be practicing writing this quarter by writing essays about all the neat things they see around the great city of Chicago! There are so many cool activities to enjoy here, and they'll be seeing it all (if they remember their permission slips!!)

So get ready, kids! Put down those pencils and paper (got to be green!) and pick up a computer (figuratively of course unless it's one of those lap-tops!), a camera, and your imagination!

We hope all you readers in Cyberland leave lots of helpful comments and maybe even your own Chicago stories to help these awesome students learn and grow!

Thanks a bunch of banana cream pie,

Ms. Fay
