This my final blog post. Wa! Wa! Here’s what I thought about blogging: It was fun to be able to write on a website that other people could read and comment on. In the future when I look back to this blog, it will give me a extreme reminder about my great year in 4th grade. Even though the blog will be un-able to write on and comment on, people can still visit it. Even though the blogging could have been freer, (writing about almost anything we wanted to) blogging was a REALLY FUN thing in 4th grade.

Remember the all about Alice series? Well here’s an addition to it. Over the past few weeks, we have been doing a study of The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz. Now, I march in to tell you why I think it is better than Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland. Hut, Hut, BOOM!!! Sorry, I just got bombed by little pieces of paper. Let’s see what they say. I think the WOZ is better than AAW because: The WOZ takes place in a more magical land, and has a better background of the writing. The Wizard of Oz has a better movie and even though there are more versions of Alice, there is series of WOZ books. The characters in WOZ seem a little bit more magical than in Alice. For example, A rabbit that can talk and a girl who falls down a rabbit hole vs. a girl that is flying in a tornado and doesn’t die when it lands, and a walking talking scarecrow who is stuffed with straw. Now come on. Which is more magical. If you DARE disagree with me, leave a comment and nicely tell me why. If you DARE agree with me, leave a comment and nicely say why. Bye, Bye. BOOM!!!

Over the past few days, my grade and I went on a trip to Plymouth, Mass. to study about the Pilgrims. Now I’m going to tell you about it. On Thursday, April 18, 2008 at 8:05, the 4th grade of the Dalton School got on two coach buses for the 6 hour ride to Plymouth Massachusetts. Once we got there, we went to see the Mayflower II. It is an exact replica of the Mayflower I. We had a very fun time on it. I got to fake pull the rudder. After we got off the Mayflower II, we went to see the rock. We didn’t see the rock because they were doing construction. So we went to see where the Pilgrims actually settled. We also went to the Pilgrims graveyard. After that we went to the Ackomack, where we would be sleeping. After that we went to the craft building, where we saw a woman making a new mast for the Mayflower II. After that we went to see the Wampanoag Village. Twas so fun. (My favorite part of the trip.) We helped a dude make a canoe! I felt fox for. There’s a difference between fur and hide. Fur is like the hair and hide is the inside of the skin/fur. Then we had dinner. We had Turkey Pottage, broiled carrots and grapes. After that we had evening activities. The activities were: quill writing, dressing up like a pilgrim, Pilgrim games and discovery house. My favorite was games. Then we went to bed. The next day I woke up and packed up. We had breakfast, free time and gift shop time. At the gift shop I got a rabbit fur pouch and 7 arrowheads. I had a great time at Plymouth! You should go. Now, before I go, here’s a riddle: The man who makes it doesn’t need it, the man who buys it has no need for it, but the person who’s using it doesn’t know he’s using it. Hint: There’s a hint inside this post. If you think you know the answer, comment on this post, and include the “answer”. I’ll tell you if your correct or not.

Welcome back ladies and jellybeans! Since I’ve done many great things in the past week, I thought I should be even more generous and tell you some more. Well, here goes nothing. Since I last wrote to you, my partner and I have done numerous illustrations for the scenes that we thought of. What I’ll do today is show you the illistrations with the scene number next to it. Here goes nothing.

The Rabbit Sends in a little Bill

Number 1

Number 2

Number 3

That’s as far as we’ve gotten so far! Chao.

Hi! Guess who’s back? I am. Now, back to the series. Last time I told you about how we read the book. I also told you about the movies we watched. You don’t remember the movies? Here’s a list of the movies we watched to refresh your brain. The 1900 House, Betty Boop in Blunderland, and The Young Visitors. Today I’ll show you my progress since the last post. My status at the last post: Just starting the scenes. Now I just started the illustrations. If you don’t get it look below. If you do get it look below anyway.

This is my progress:

The Rabbit Sends in a little Bill

1. The rabbit yells at Alice (Mary Ann) to get him a new pair of kid-gloves.
Rabbit : “Mary Ann! Mary Ann! Get me a new pair of kid-gloves!”

2. Alice gets him a new pair of kid-gloves and finds an eat-me cake.
Alice: “ Oh, an eat-me cake if the drink me bottle made me smaller this will make me….”

3. Alice eats the cake and gets bigger. She punches her fist through the glass.
“…..bigger”

4. All the animals that are working for the rabbit are terrified so they send in a lizard named Bill.
Rabbit: “Oh look a giant fist we better get bill to see what it is.”

5. Alice kicks Bill up the chimney.
Alice: “ Hello Bill, nice to kick you!”

6. The goose calls for an ambulance to take Bill to the hospital.
Goose: “Hello hospital we need an ambul… oh you’re here already.”

7. Alice finds a drink-me bottle and drinks what’s in it and goes back to her normal size.
Alice: Look a drink-me bottle! It will make me smaller! I’m very uncomfortable.”

8. Bill comes back with a sling and crutches.
“Oh my leg, my arm, my head, all because of you Alice.”
Rabbit: “ Get her!!!!!!”

9. Alice runs away and finds a big dog.
“ Hello Doggie. you are awfully big. Oh look a stick, want to play fetch?”

10. Alice throws a stick so the dog will go away.
Alice: “Fetch doggie!”

11. Alice stands there wondering how to get back to her normal size.

Do you like it? Yay! I didn’t do all of this though. My partner Hannah helped me. To see her blog click here. Come on you know you want to. You really want to. Go on, don’t be scared.

Come back next week! ( Or else ).

From Jan. to Feb. Edinger House studied forced immigration. It was a very interesting process. We went to the African Burial Ground, where lots of people that came to New Amsterdam against their will were buried. Someone’s dad came in to talk to us about Africa. He owned a restaurant there. We looked at my teacher’s book: Sarah Margru Kinson. It was about a girl who got kidnapped by the white men. She lived in America for several years and then she went back to Africa. The forced immigration study was one of the best studies of the year!
