Compass Learning

thelearningodyssey.com CompassOdysseyODYbyCL-0612Compass learning is a website. Also, so you can’t go and lie to your teacher about doing your homework she\he can print something out that says if you went on how many minutes the date you went on what activities and if you pass the activitie or fail it. One thing is so you just don’t practice one thing like reading theres five sections for reading math social studies and science and one that your teacher puts in. Then in some things I’ve discovered that you can do at the top of the screen before the actitivies it will say level 2 3 or 4. Also, for your login you have a student Id number for your username then you have a password then your school which starts as ODESSY but then you type in your school. Then there is a app for compass learning on the app store so then you go to search type in compass learning by CloudMosa download puffin academy then you can get to compass learning. So then when you login at the top to make sure its you it will say hi then your name with no spaces. Then you pick a actitivite then pick another one inside that then another inside that to complete then there are lots to finish. Those are some things about compass learning.

Theme

You can find themes in many things. Some things you can find theme in songs stories and books. Some themes are courage, acceptance, and perseverance, friendship, responsibility, compassion, cooperation, and honesty, and kindness those are some themes. Most people when they think about theme they think books not really songs or movies. Theme really means the message or THE MEssage. Or theme can be a life lesson but most of the time that is called the moral or life lesson. We have been learning a lot about theme like finding it in books paragraphs and even songs and long books. Those are some things about theme that I know I hope you remember those things about theme.

Did you know that is is so sunny there that California make at least half of the Us’s fresh fruit. Also, did you know that earthquake-prone San Andreas Fault runs down California’s length.

Wheelchair Cavs

players videoIn school today we had a assembly. The people who came in was the wheelchair Cavs. There names were Sparkles (Dan) Darren Shawn and Vince.  It was really cool. In the beginning they told us about how the wheelchairs they use for basketball and how regular wheelchairs are different. They are different because the wheelchairs they use have slanted wheels so they go faster and the wheelchairs they use also have shorter backs so they can tilt back. Regular wheelchairs don’t have that. One thing I thought was cool about the wheelchairs they use they can fall backwards. Then they played and showed us there disabilities. Sparkle’s disability was his spine didn’t grow all the way. Darren’s disability was that when he was in the military someone lay a bomb on him and his leg fell off so he didn’t really need a wheel chair but he uses one. Vince’s disability was he was in a car accident and broke his spine. Shawn’s disability was he fell off a ladder and broke his spine. Then they called up teachers to play so Mrs. Campagna came up. Then after that the assembly was over.Mrs C and players

Special Olympics

Hello,

This week is Disability Awareness week and I just watched a video about a girl in the Special Olympics. One thing we have in common is we both do sports. I think in she got treated badly because she was really shy and didn’t really talk. The theme in her life is maybe perseverance because she didn’t really talk a lot so she probably felt a little out of place. Another theme in her life in courage because she might of not had a lot of friends. She just started talking not a while ago. So she probably just started getting people to understand her and getting friends. She probably felt scared when she didn’t talk I’ve felt scared before when on my radio there was things like people doing bad things other people. That is another reason we are alike. One other reason we are alike is I’ve been about shy to talk to people when I don’t know them that is one reason we are alike. The video made me feel happy because she talked in the video. The video was about her. The beginning of the video was about her writing on a glass wall then in the middle she was golfing then cracked a hole in the glass wall and it broke and fell down. That is what happened in the video. Here is a link to the video http://www.specialolympics.org/Speechless_PSA.aspx
