Jamestown Nightmare Reflection

Jamestown was a nightmare because the Native-Americans were bad people. They bow and arrowed the English. The Native-Americans were good at gorilla warfare so the English could not shoot back. The English had special armor. The suit weighed 26 inches, the hat had a rim around the bottom to protect them from bullets, and the sword had a special handle so if it hit their hand it would not hurt.


 Pocahontas saved John Smith and the colonists life because she bought the jewelry that he offered and they got corn in return. After that he went back to the fort that John Smith and the colonists had built to give the colonists food. When they first built the fort they started off with 100 people and by the end they ended up with less than 50. They died because they needed water and they only had salt water. They drank salt water which was bad. It caused their brain to get a signal to drink more and then the salt caused the brain to drink all of the organs water.


John Smith and his colonists panned for gold. They went down to the lake and did not find any gold. One of the colonists, (the name was not specified) had a large bullet in their leg and then smaller bullets spreading up to 5 inches. By the time the colonists shot 1 bullet the Native-Americans bow and arrowed 10. Once Captain John Smith was sitting by a tree smoking tobacco and somebody put fire on the tree. The fire caught John Smiths powder bag and shot his leg out. They said that it could of possibly saved his life though.


John Smith an the colonists did not voyage after that. They stayed in Jamestown. Captain John Smith was the owner of Martha's Vineyard and he named it after his daughter. The reason Jamestown was a nightmare was from the Native-Americans. After they settled in Jamestown, they should never be haunted again by the Native-Americans. Their are people living there and they are proud Captain John Smith settled there.

My Presentation!

Today I did my project on explosions with my classmates (Mitchell, Davis, Mason, and Alyssa). My grading -     7 out of 10. I am giving myself a 7 out of 10 because I did not talk a lot and when my videos were happening. I was supposed to talk and I did not. I think that I need to improve with body language and hand gestures. I think that the thing that I was good at was looking at the audience and not staring at the board. I did once accidentally give false information. The Tsar Bomba was a 50 megaton bomb design I said a 100 megaton. Here is the link of our explosion wiki - http://explosivelywiki.wikispaces.com/

My Musical Day!

Today I came into school and right after I put my backpack at my desk it was time for morning meeting. We talked about our day and then did a whip. The whip was if you had a magic wand... I said I would fly! After that it was time for FLVS. I did my math oral and my advanced module test I got a 21/25. Then I did some Spanish. After that we had brain break. We played heads up 5-up because it was raining outside. After that it was time for PBL. I made my explosion video and then put it on the wiki. After that we had lunch. My mom packed me a FEAST! I had soup and sweet potatoes and fruit, etc. Then it was time for kickball. Kickball was hilarious! Everyone slipped! I fell and hit my head it hurt but I am okay now. We won 7 - 5. GO BUTTERFLIES OF HOPE!! Then it was time to come back up to school. We did more FLVS. I did Spanish and got a 20/20, woo!!! Then I did a voice activity but I did not finish it. After that we had music. We played ice ice baby, viva la vida, and three little birds. We played fantastic! Then I came back in to school and Mr. Randy decided to have story time. But before that I needed to print the ice ice baby lyrics so everyone knew when to sing with me. Then Mr. Randy did 2 stories and Jordin did 1. They were funny! I was sitting on the ground and then moved up to a chair. I offered Anastasia to come sit with me because she was on the ground. So she did! Now here I am writing my reflections! That was my MUSICAL day!

My Accomplishments!

My accomplishment in the second block was 2 maths. I am rating myself a 9 out of 10. I was focused but sometimes I was not as focused.

My Self Directed Score

I am giving myself a 10 out of 10 because I was very focused and got 2 assignments done (almost 3). I did Language Arts and math and I got a 100 on both.

Self Directed Means...

Self directed means being able to direct yourself to new challenges and school work. You can self direct yourself to be an independent reader. It also means to be able to do things by yourself.

Daily Goal: my daily goal is to finish the lesson's in semester 1 of my classes by today.
