Good morrrrrrning everyone!
This is Taliya. I know that you all probably think that the 4Fives disappeared, right? Since we haven’t posted or written anything in like 2 weeks? Well, we didn’t! We have been like really really crazy doing test prep stuff for our city wide Social Studies exams. But we just finished the tests last week, and now we are going to get back in action!!!!
There are also a ton of other things going on, and I am going to tell you a little bit about each of them. Then, when we get back from Thanksgiving break, we will tell you more about them in their own posts!
#1: Editor-in-Chief. First of all, the 4Fives have been so so so SO lucky to have their very own Editor-in-Chief!!!! Ms. Edie, the most fabulous of all fabulous kids in the world, has been helping us edit our posts. Edie is a 5th grade student at a school in Manhattan. We will be posting an entire post next week dedicated to this awesome girl… so keep your eyes open. ps- Edie, if you are reading this, I am so so so so sorry that we haven’t written any posts or sent you any posts in forever. I hope you forgive us.
#2: Eco-Tech Blog: Since we haven’t been busy enough (ha ha ha ha ha), the 4Fives have started an Eco-Tech blog! This blog is going to be focusing on all of the stuff that we are doing that is related to the environment, technology, and art. We will also be putting all of our La Oroya stuff on this blog. Check it out HERE!
#3: La Oroya Project: Oh my god. There are so many things to tell you here, but I don’t really know where to begin. Well, I guess that I will just tell you that we are still Skyping with Jed, we started a business with the coooooolest person ever, Mary-Margret, we are getting ready to start working with a group of kids in Peru, we designed and illustrated a La Oroya logo, we are starting to plan out our DOCUMENTARY!!!! that we are doing, and we are learning all about starting and being a part of an environmental and social movement. Wow.
#4: Our classroom garden is coming along. We are learning how hard it can be to be a horticulturist.
#5: Some of the 4Fives went on an after-school trip to visit the artist Chris Astley!!!
This was like so so so so amazing! Bee and Ms. Kimball took us there. And you will never guess who was there! It was Edie! Because Chris is her dad. So we got to work on this awesome project with Edie. You can read our post about it next week! I am in love with this project because we get to go back and work there again in just a couple of weeks.
#6: We are getting started on our class water project. Save water!!!! Yay!!!!
Okay. I am sure that I forgot a bunch of stuff. But there are going to be like a million posts coming very soon. And you will get to see a lot of pictures and a lot of videos. I hope that you are excited. Because I am.
Have a great day and a great Thanksgiving. Gobble gobble eat turkey.
Love,
Taliya
