Have Fun 🩷
In language arts, we read a book called The Westing Game. In The Westing Game there’s a girl names Turtle Wexler who likes to do stocks. Mrs. Sprague and Mrs. Donnelly worked with us to set up formulas in a spreadsheet, then Mrs. Donnelly let us spend $20,000 fake dollars on stocks. The stocks I invested in were Netflix, Starbucks, Nike, Target, Costco, and Amazon. My final gain was $755.13.
My TED Like Talk was some book recommendations. The books I had chosen to talk about were the Warriors series, the Wings of Fire series, I have a blog post about both of those series if you want to check it out, I also talked about Orphan Island, Front Desk, and the Lockwood & Co. series.
At the beginning of the project we watched some TED Talks and chose what we wanted to share. Then we researched about our topic and created a presentation. After we finished our presentation, we practiced then presented. 
After we presented, classmates would have some questions and compliments.
It was a fun experience and I liked presenting to the class.

The first book we read in language arts class was The Last Cuentista by Donna Barba Higuera. The book is about a girl named Petra Peña. What happens is that her, her family, and some other people have to leave Earth and go to a planet called Sagan and leave behind everyone else because Halley’s Comet is going to destroy the Earth. The ride to Sagan takes hundreds of years so all the passengers except the people that are taking care of them need to basically go to sleep for the whole ride. When they wake up, Petra is the only one who remembers Earth. She has to keep stories alive and save the people. To keep stories going, you have to tell them to other people then they pass them along and keep the stories going and alive.
My ideal world is my version of perfect. Everyone is happy, there’s candy meadows, people can fly, everyone is at peace. I have another blog post about my ideal world, check it out! Ideal worlds really depend on the person making them, they are really fun to make.
After we had made our ideal world and our cuentos, we made books! We had Peg Gignoux come and she helped me and my class make books. We did ink printing then we collaged, then we did folding and cutting, and putting on our covers.
Thanks for reading! I hope you read The Last Cuentista!
