We are busy trying to keep up with all the challenges. Many of us are working on posts–some from last week and some from the first few weeks. Even though we are bit late in posting, we are still working hard and promise to publish all of our posts very soon.

We are learning a lot about blogging and starting to bloom as frequent bloggers. Writing great comments is still a bit of a challenge for us.We love Miss W’s suggestion of adding Compfright to our blog. It is so much easier to find and add images…and give credit.

Finding time to visit everyone is also a challenge. We are a bit disappointed because we haven’t really connected with one or two classes in particular. So if anyone out there wants to be our regular blog buddy, please get in touch. We’d be happy to visit your blog every week and comment on your posts.

We’re off now for spring break now! To those who celebrate Easter, “Happy Easter!” What are you up to for your spring vacation?

Minecraft is fun. What is Minecraft? Minecraft is a video game and the entire game is made of blocks or made up of block stuff. The object of the game is to survive and get better gear and stuff. So you can fight monsters and get stuff in caves.

There is a creative mode so you can do and get any thing and do anything. There is also a survival mode and you have to mine and craft stuff. Also if you want when you’re in survival you can play on peaceful mode so there are no monsters and your hunger won’t go down.

Minecraft is very popular and many kids play it. You can also meet your friends if you play online.

Ballet

I love dancing but my favorite type of dancing is ballet. Ballet can tell stories and show your emotions. For example Swan Lake is a sad story but with a happy ending. Swan Lake is about a princess named Odet and she gets turned into a Swan by an evil man, and at sunset she turns into herself. I am going to be Odet this year in Swan Lake.

In ballet you start with flat looking shoes and when you are about 10 you get point shoes. You always in Ballet start on the right foot. All the steps have a meanings. For example Padisha means step of the cat. Ballet makes you calm and it is really hard. But at the end you become very strong and you can be in plays like me.

In Ballet you dance to classical music. Ballet is really fun and you might be able to do it some day.

Who loves soccer?

Soccer is a popular sport. Why? It’s good exercise and fun. It’s also fun to watch your favorite team. Lots of people play soccer and soon if they keep playing they can become a really good or maybe even a famous soccer player!

Soccer is a good way to exercise because you sweat in soccer, and you run back and forth. That means you need lots of water. Before a game people drink water, eat a good healthy snack, and get a good night’s sleep to be prepared for their game.

If you ever are going to play soccer you have to wear the right gear. You need cleats, long socks, and shin guards to protect yourself when something hits you hard.

A lot of people do soccer for fun. Especially famous soccer players. I am going to show you two soccer teams. The one on the bottom is called  LA  Galaxy. The one on the top is called Mexico.

Qué les dirîa?

People in for Mexico cheer for the team Mexico because they are from Mexico but not always. They can cheer for different teams too. People in Los Angeles like to watch and cheer for LA Galaxy.

Lots of famous soccer players use the ball called a jabulani because that ball does not have patches or hexagons. We can use many different type of soccer balls. Here are some balls that we were talking about that have no patches.

Do you like soccer? Why?
