Our fantastic experience with Izzy

It was so cool that we had a dance teacher it was better than having jump jam. I liked how we done our worm up and it was fun and I loved it. I absolutely love how Izzy taught us the two dances and she was motivative and she would always want to get our heart pumping. I just want to say thank you to Izzy for teaching us all of those groovy moves.

In Korea the year 1951 there lived a little boy that

might have been a refuge because
this little boy lived in a war zone that was just deserted.

He liked to sing but he was very lonely he liked to find
rusty metal to make army people.

He always liked to be in the army one day when he grows up.

The boys that lived in  korea was possibly the only child there.

Walht: summarize and take notes.

This week we revisited writing a summary and taking notes.
My teacher read this story to us and we had to write a summary using the ‘W’ words.

Here is my summary:
In a chicken coup there lived two chicks named Hansel and Gretel and there pour old grandpa.
There mother was taken recently from them by the fox. Hansel and Gretel just got back from the
corn field and there coup was trashed and there grandpa was gone.
They had enough of the bird napping so they went to train the art of ninjutsu.
They found a house there lived a strange looking man and he asked them to come in.
The chicks looked again and saw the fox come out of his cloak and the fox threw them in with
their mother.
Hensel pick the lock and they all took a run for the door to lock him in.
The two chicks thought that they should protect the chickens from getting birdnaped.

Reflection:I have a little understanding. I need to relearn how to write a summary in my own words.
