Pirate101

Do you want to learn about Pirate101?   Well,  it is not only awesome but it supports learning too.  Pirate101 teaches kids about strategy.   In this game the goal is for your Pirate character to get treasure from the different worlds.  You are given pirate missions.  Sometimes you have to battle enemies and other times you can earn companions or pets.  There are 7 worlds.  As you start the game you meet Captain Avery and you  must go to Skull Island to find his jade amulet.    You learn strategy skills  as you play.  For example,  when  you’re in a battle with swashbucklers  and musketeers, who would you attack first?  You would need to attack a musketeer first because they don’t have “Vengeance Strike” or “Reposit” dueling skills.  This game is also about having fun.   You  can play up to 65 levels.   I’m at level 40 and I am in Mooshu.   I have played for almost a  year now.

Gardening

Last Friday we went to our school garden and we planted beans, beets, and lettuce.   We also did a little packet about gardening. Once we were back in class, we watched Bill Nye “The Science Guy” on gardening.   At my home I have a garden. My Mom and I plant beets,  green beans, sugar snap peas, lettuce and carrots.  I like to watch the plants grow and love to pick the vegetables!

Being a Leader

Being a leader isn’t that hard —you just have to use the 3 B’s:   be yourself,  be kind, and be respectful.  Those are the rules. A good leader needs to be on task.  Last year we studied “Great People.”  My person was Nathan Hale.  He was known as America’s first spy.  He disguised himself as a colonial teacher and was captured by the British troops.   He gave his life for his country and he died at 22 years old.   Here’s a photo.Hale

My goal

Today in class we were talking about our goals.   We watched a video about your goals and strengths.  Nelly was having trouble with commitment.  This is my goal.  I want to beat Jackson S.’s team.  They are really good and have not lost a game all season.  I’ll practice 20 minutes extra a day on my baseball skills.  What is your goal?
