Hey everyone!!!

Today in World Geography we had a Map test. I think (and hope) I got a good grade! I have really enjoyed World Geography this year, and I am so happy I had Ms. Hollrah as my teacher. Today after school I went to an awards cerimony where I won an Outstanding Student in World Geography Award!!!!!!!!!

This week in World Geography we did our East Asia Maps. Also we completed Guided Readings and Geo Alive packets. They were all due today. We also got our 3 readings for a socratic seminar we are going to have on the One-Child Policy in China. But this time our socratic seminar is going to be on the website, so its going to be different. I think it will be better though, because I really don't like talking in front of a lot of people, so by typing out my opinions I think I will be able to get my point across better. 

Over the summer I am not sure what I am going to do. My family and I goto Brazil every summer, but this year I have so much dance stuff, that we might just stick around here. I usually enjoy going to Brazil because it is a good way to escape the heat. (because the earth is tilted on its axis when its summer here it is winter there) I'm not sure but I think I am going to melt in the summer heat...

Hello again!!!!

This week in World Geography we ended our unit on the Indian Subcontinent, and started the unit on South Eastern Asia. I got a 96 on the test so I'm happy. We also had a project due Wednesday. It was called the Map a Meal project, and it was kind of fun. I can't believe that the year is almost over! I'm going to have to start studying for finals soon. :-(

Ok so now I'm supposed to write about the place that we have studied this year that I would like to visit. That is hard, because I can't choose. Someday I want to take a year or two out of my life and just go EVERYWHERE! But if I really had to choose, then I would go to France, Portugal and Spain.  I would go to France because I am studying French and it would be a nice way to practice my french. Also I have some cousins who live there. I would go to Portugal because my grandmother is from Portugal and so all her side of the family lives there. Spain is right next to Portugal, and I've heard, and seen on TV thats its really pretty, so I want to go there. I would visit historical sites, parks, and would eat their traditional food.

Hi everyone!!!!

This week in World Geography we continued with our unit over The Indian subcontinent. We did some Guided Readings (which are like review handouts that actually make you read the textbook to find the answers) and started our review. We have a Unit test on Monday and I am going to study for it. 

Ms. Hollrah assigned us to write about what we want to be when we grow up, but I am not sure. I haven't really thought of a career I might be interested in. I definitely will continue dancing, but I know that dancing really isn't a career option. Usually the life of a dancer only goes until they are about 35, or 40 if they are really amazing. My ballet teacher when I was 6, 7 and 8 always told us that, and that she has a degree in Chemistry. I always thought that was really cool.
