After School Tutoring

I go to tutoring Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. The people who help you are Mrs. Trainer and Mr. von Kamp.


In tutoring we have fun and it’s helpful for people that need to get better grades in school. My suggestion is to go to tutoring because you can get tons of help. In tutoring you can finish your homework and so you won’t have to do it at home. My grades have gotten better by doing reading.

What It Means To Be Different

     Yesterday was emotional. Sam Drazin came to the school to tell us about his life as a child. Sam was born deformed with Treacher Collins Syndrome which caused him to have tiny ears and his jaw not fully developed.

    

      He had a difficult life as a kid. Sam had to get seven surgeries they included nose, mouth, ear, surgeries. Sam couldn’t hear. He needed to use a hearing aid. His eyes were slanted.

     

He gave us a message to never judge people by their looks and what it means to be different.

Lyme Village Pioneer Days

    An amazing thing I did during my September is that I went to Lyme Village. Going to Lyme Village was an amazing experience, mostly because I got the chance to teach 4th grades how the people lived back several hundred years ago. I even learned military drilling and I didn't even know about it before this. I even wore the type of clothing that they wore back then. The best was that I even got a day off of school, but I also had twice the work as a regular day at school. I still liked that I got the chance to teach and learn something new to me and 4th graders.
