Mock Debate

My class was doing a Mock Debate in Social Studies .We debated   about   if   Phillips Park   was   replaced with apartments, how our community would feel about it. My class was divided into two groups and one half  went   into the middle room and the other half stayed in our classroom. One of the groups was the Housing Development Association. The   group I was in was the Nature Conservancy. They were trying to convince the Housing Developmental Association to not build the apartments because the animal habitats live in the woods by the park. The Housing Developmental Association was trying to build the apartments because they thought that the new families in Mount Vernon could live there. Then it would help more schools that don’t have a good population.

At the end we collected our thoughts and debated. We argued about how it’s not good to build the apartments because it could pollute the air and it also could be bad if the people’s trash that lived in the apartments would get in the river.  It’s good to build the apartment because there would be a daycare in the apartment for the children that need it. I have really enjoyed social studies this year with the debate.

Gym

My favorite thing to do is gym. What I like to do in gym is dodge ball, but I don’t like getting hit in the face or hitting people in the face either. When I play dodge ball I always stay back so I don’t get hit. Then when most of my team is gone, I grab a ball and start throwing them. I also like playing soccer too. When I start playing, I try not to get the soccer ball out of bounds so I pass the ball to my team instead of kicking the ball out of bounds. 

My other most favorite thing to do in gym is Great Wall of China. I sometimes walk across when no one is looking. Also in Great Wall of China when I get tagged, I build a wall so no one could get through us. I like playing Great Wall of China because I can sometimes get through the people really easy.

Miami Tribe

There are six different tribes and they are the Wyandot, Miami, Mingo, Ottawa, Shawnee, and the Delaware Indians. I am studying the Miami tribe. The Miami Indians tattooed their bodies. The Miami Indian houses were wigwams. The Miami Indians also grew white corn from Mexico. The Miami Indians are related to the Delaware, Ottawa, and the Shawnee Indians. The men that were in the war were very brave warriors. The Miami Indians were the second tribe to enter Ohio. The Miami Indians lived mainly in Pickawilliny. Women were known as great farmers. Their fruit orchards ran for miles along the river valleys. Little Turtle was a great leader of the Miami Indians. The Miami Indians tribe is a fun tribe to learn about.

Gym and Dodge Ball

My favorite subject is gym. Our class played dodge ball this week. The rules are: don’t be a poor sport, everyone is a winner, and when you throw the ball it has to be shoulder or below.  It was awesome even though we didn’t do girls vs. boys, but we all were still having lots of fun. It was fun when you got out somebody and caught a ball.

       Our class has been learning about cardio and an interesting fact is that if you do more cardio you have more energy. When you exercise you get a better night of sleep.
