Last Week’s Spotlight: Kat Zhu

What’s happening in 401?

Writing: Excellent job writing persuasive essays on soda and vending machines for schools. I always love brainstorming with all of you to learn ideas. Please make sure you give those respect letters to the person you addressed your feelings to. They are beautiful!

Science: Unit C7 is fascinating as the textbook has been updated since last year. The up-to-date knowledge about dwarf planets, the nuclear fusion as well as scary things such as “sunspots” are still being researched and updating today. Keep knowledge expanding. What can you find online to share with the class?

Talking: You are respectable and hard working students; I appreciate every one of you. I appreciate the respect all of you have given as well as earned as a class. Please continue to be courteous and let’s resume the name-calling, (and the candy stealing…ahem! Did you find a way to pay her back?!? Grrr…No, I didn’t forget.)

Veda Bee's Words of Wisdom

Name-calling can be fun when I find fault in others,
but it sucks when it happens to me. No one is perfect. Not even me. I suppose I will focus instead on mastering the art of Zen, caring and kindness. And food and sleep.

Omm, Dudes.

Dear Room 401 Kids,

So I tried to upgrade to another blog site since I've been using this for over 3 years; however, it turns out that I like this better after experimenting around. Blogspot allows me to upload pictures faster...even though it does not have sound. Who needs it when we talk all day anyway?

I hope you like it and I will do my very best to update all the original info for this year.

Thanks for your patience and send me something to upload!

I play wall ball with my friends. I wish that we had more recess so we can get
more active during the day. I hope that I will have a great time for the rest of the

In second grade, I hurt someone twice and he lost all memory of second grade.
Now, I don't fight physically anymore or hit people or hurt them.
I like eating spaghetti with no sauce. Sometimes I daydream and
make stories in the after noon, whether I'm in school or out of school.
I like having fun.

I like to eat snack at snack recess. I can do this weird thing with my elbow
but I don't know how to explain it, but I will show you if you ask me nicely.
My favorite sport is golf and baseball, I think. The cool in this classroom is
that we get to bring stuffed animals if we want and the monitor is kinda cool
because you can turn those lens to something. It just let's you see anything
or even people at the screen and it can get really BIG. I like karate!!!
One more thing...oh yeah, I made up a card game called "Armed Monsters"
...that's all.
