Would I like to mentor with mrs. Harvest again

Yes I would, since I never got to do it today I think it would be interesting to give it a try and pair up with a third or fourth grader.

Thursday the 19th

Today we had a read aloud, read paper sheets that talked about writing and reading, heard from seven kids about the Burberry books.

Year round school 2.

I think year round school is not a good idea. For one reason is there would be no summer camp during the year, even if there was it would only be for about one week, since you only would have one month before you would have to come back and do school break work. Also it would cost more money to keep the school running during the summer because you would have to pay the teachers during that time and purchase air conditioning. It would also have the same amount of days as a traditional calendar school as a 180 day school year, but it would have no summer to relax. So I think I year prune school is not a good idea.

Zip line course in Puerto Rico.

One day in Puerto Rico, me and my family decided to do a zip line course on a mountain.  We had to buy the nine course ride for each of us, then we got in our zip line gear. They said we had to do learn how to go through the courses. They gave us a really strong glove, and said "hold this hand on the rope." As soon as I started I zoomed right to the other end of the zip line. Then they wanted us to go backwards, incase we stoped, they said grip the line and face the way you would if you were going down and keep on going up. Finaly after practicing it was time for rope two. It was only a little bit bigger than the last one. It was very short. Then rope three it was longer,faster and steeper, at the end was a pad on a tree the location was in the trees my mom went first them my dad then me, I zoomed down it and I was going so fast that the brakes for the zip line didn't stop me I crashed right into the tree. It hurt for a few seconds but the. I got over it and moved on to the next course. It was over a small river in the forests kind of, I was first to go down the line, it was a cool rope wasn't to steep but it was long. So I got on and did some spins while sitting down so I could see the entire woods, there were tall trees all around me and at one point I was over the river, finally I tried to land with my feet stumbled a little and were done.  After the next four courses, we finaly got to the final course. It may have been the highest course, really long, wasn't that steep, and you got a ok view. I was 2nd to go. My mom went first I saw her zoom all the way down. Then it was my turn, I hooked up and went down the course.  I spun around a bunch of times right in time to land. Now my brother went, he started out ok speed, got slower and slower until he was stuck right in the middle of the line. I had no idea that would happen. He was stuck for a few minutes, started to climb towards the beginning then he took off down the rope. And landed on the end platform. Then my dad went, he went Down really fast. We were all done with the ropes. We took off our gear and left. That was the time I zip lined for the first time.

Year round school

I feel year round school is just as good as traditional schools. Expert research from Bradley McMillan, collected data in North Carolina, proving that year round school students achievements were no higher than in traditional schools. As expert research again kids that go year round have just as much of a chance to loose information then kids that go to a traditional calendar. And finally in Salt Lake City as statistics year round schools only made 50% adequate yearly progress while traditional calendar made 80% adequate yearly progress. So I think year round is just as good as traditional calendar schools.
