Nanowrimo Showcase 2nd Period English–Mrs. Velde

In math class, we created a design on a graph using linear equations. I created the Dallas Cowboys’ famous Star. If you would like to view the design, Click Here!

5th Grade was a good year. I liked switching to all five teachers. I’m glad that I kept good grades all year and never failed a class. The teachers were fun, and they taught us a lot of new and interesting things. If there was one thing I could take back this year, it would be sliding into a base while playing kickball because I broke my arm doing that. Since that happened, I missed out on Field Day, the rest of the baseball season, and I couldn’t do P.E. for the rest of the year. Despite that, this was my favorite school year ever!

My classmates and I worked on a project to show how to do a google search without getting other irrelevant topics. Honestly, I didn’t except the ratings to be that good. I didn’t get a lot of time to work on it because I was absent a few times. We still did pretty good.

In the story “Thatagirl”, a Minor League team called the Chattanooga Lookouts faces a Major League team with the name of the New York Yankees. In this time period, the Yankees had some of the greatest players of all time with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. The Lookouts had just signed a female pitcher named Jackie Mitchell. A young girl named Hazel lived in a house near the stadium that the game was being played in. She always wanted to play baseball with Timmy and some of the other neighborhood boys, but they wouldn’t let her play because of her gender. Somehow, she gets tickets to the game beside Timmy. They make a bet that if Jackie Mitchell strikes out Babe Ruth, Hazel could play baseball with all the boys. After four pitches, Babe strikes out, and Hazel finally got to play with the boys. Since this was in 1931, they didn’t give her a chance to show her athletic ability until she won a bet. If the story took place in 2015, she probably could’ve played with them without winning something. In this story, one of the things you need to learn is to never judge a book by its cover!
