Personification

Lately we have been writing pieces of personification. Personification is when you make an object or a thing sound like it is a human. We weren't allowed to use animals though.
Here is some of the personification that I wrote.




The Pen
The old pen once again scribbles across the page.
 He sadly thinks about his chipped of plastic.
He awkwardly never says what he wants because his mouth always gets pressed against paper.
 He thinks he is useless.


The Balloon
The bubbly, positive balloon floats in the air.
Her young cheeky personality attracts everyone.
She loves everything that's positive.

The Wind
Out in the playground the wind laughs without thinking.
She's lonely so she sneaks about scaring people.
She is very patient for she always waits for her next victim.
Her ghost like shape helps her to stay silent when she's a total klutz.

New Years!

Welcome back to 2014!!! I did lots of fun things over the holidays. The best thing was Christmas!
Now I'm back at school and learning everyday. We have been learning about how other countries celebrate the new year. For Iran we made little grass heads. Iran makes little gardens to celebrate the new beginning of the plant. Next we did Japan. We made fans with Japanese symbols which people in Japan put around their doors. The last one we did was India. We wrote our goals on a little triangle because in India they write prayers, goals or wishes on banners, cut out as triangles. Then for homework we had to choose our own country and write, make and draw something about it. I did Quebec, Canada. In Quebec people go out with friends to a frozen pond and go ice fishing. I enjoyed my homework and learning about other countries. I can't wait to learn about what China does for New Year!!!
