I go to Panther Plus. Panther Plus is an after-school program for students that need a little push to succeed at the 4th grade level. Panther Plus is where you go to a class for reading and math. In math, at Panther Plus, we play math games about multiplication facts. I'm really good at it because I know all my multiplication facts. I learned my 0-12's in 3rd grade. In reading, our Panther Plus teacher gives us a piece of paper and she reads us a story - like half of it - and then we get a piece of paper and write what we think is gonna happen next. I think it's kind-of fun, because we're thinking and writing at the same time.
This is Dr. Seuss Week. Dr. Seuss Week is where you dress up as Wacky Wednesday, Thing 1 & Thing 2, and a mustache. Today is Thing 1 & Thing 2 Day. On Top Hat Day, everyone was wearing Dr. Seuss hats, and just normal hats, like cowboy hats. After school at 6 pm today is Dr. Seuss Night in the gym. You can dress up as Dr. Seuss characters and in the gym you play fun games, and win prizes, and take pictures, and do fun crafts.
In writing, I'm writing about wolves. They are powerful and mysterious creatures. They hunt animals and eat 3-4 times a day. I'm writing about wolves because they are just like dogs and dogs are fun to play with (but not wolves, because they can scratch and bite you, and stuff.) Writing is fun. It's my favorite thing to do in school. Writing is fun because you can write for like 45 minutes, and you write about your favorite animals. That's why I like wolves, because they look cool and they look fun to play with.
I am a Peacemaker because Miss Luiten chose me to be a Peacemaker. A Peacemaker is where you go outside and help little kids with problems if they need help, or something. My Peacemaker days are on Tuesday. I walk around the playground, giving people PAWS if they're being good - and not fighting or anything. I think being a Peacemaker is awesome. Even though it's not fun losing your recess, it's fun helping kids. I'd rather be a Peacemaker than have recess because you help kids with the rules and help them be safe.

Today is Dr. Seuss Wacky Wednesday. I'm wearing wacky socks. They're pink, white, blue, and fuzzy. And they're warm. My favorite Dr. Seuss book is Green Eggs and Ham. I like that the egg is green and the ham is green - it's so funny.
I like math, because math is fun. I like lattice, because lattice is fun. You use lattice to answer multiplication problems. We're starting to work on fractions. Fractions are fun. They can be hard, but sometimes they're easy.

This week is Dr. Seuss week. Today is Top Hat Day. I like Dr. Seuss because I can read my favorite Dr. Seuss book: Green Eggs and Ham. I think that book is kind-of funny and it teaches kids to try new things.
In writing, we're writing about animals. My animal is a leopard. One day I searched how many leopards there are in the world. I found out that there are only 30 Amur leopards left in the world. And if you want to find them, you have to go to far-east Russia, Korea, or north China.

My favorite thing in math is long division, but it is hard at the same time.
I also like being a Peacemaker at school. A Peacemaker is what helps others. I have to help other kids when they have conflicts and problems at recess. For example, when people were fighting I helped them solve their problem. It is fun helping kids.
I like sitting with my friend during class, because we don't talk anymore and we get our work done.
