Today we went to the aquatic center ! It was fun I played basketball with some of my friends and also boys that are my friends. Sadly, the boys won but we did pretty good for playing basketball in the water. My friends and class had to do exercises but that was ok. We had to run against the current of the lazy river it was difficult . I made it all the way around ! After the aquatic center we went back to our class and started to learn!

In gym we usually play games but this time when we went to gym we brought our bathing suits with us because we were going to the Aquatic Center to swim. It was really fun. Our gym teacher teaches us some swim moves and whole bunch of stuff but when we are all done with learning swim moves, we get to have free time. Also the Lazy River isn’t really lazy. Then we have to leave but we go back the next week. I can’t wait to go back to the Aquatic Center on April 17!

I have a book baggie book that I can read independently. I want to share some information with you about my book. The title of my book is Anastasia. It is written by Carolyn Meyer.
This story is about Anastasia and her sisters Olga and Tatiana. They all are daughters of Nicholas. He’s the tsar. They are at one of the palaces waiting for papa the tsar. To come home from World War 1 against Germany and Poltegue. Anastasia is very worried with her family and she is the youngest daughter.
It takes place in 1904, Russia at the winter palace.
One of my favorite characters is Anastasia because she is very curious and has a lot of feeling. I would recommend this book because it has a lot of real facts and it is just like a diary Anastasia wrote it is very interesting.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day is a very important day. He was born on Jan 15, 1929. He is a wonderful man. I learned that he helped us learn how to get along with everbody because he wanted this nation to rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed we hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal. Also Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. helped us to like people even if there black or white. He also made a famous speech on August 28, 1963. The speech was called (I Have A Dream). Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a giving man. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day I wrote a speech called I Have A Dream. If you click on the line below you can hear my I Have A Dream speech.
