World Vision.

Hi everyone. On Friday, Miss Pollock brought 18 students to a conference (including me) called "Make It Happen". It was a real eye opener. We learnt how to fun raise for our community, school and other places in the world. I've chosen to fun raise for World Vision. On the weekend I was With my family for our Christmas Reunion. around dinner, I decided to pull out the world vision catalogue. i told them about the field trip what i was doing it for and what i wanted to do. at the end of the night i got $ 350.00!!!


I'm planing on restoring 2 child solders because my cousin is currently in Afghanistan. Along with that i will most likely be getting clothes for a whole village!!! I hope You will follow in my foot steps and help a child in need.

Slam Poets

Yesterday was our first session with the slam poets. It was soo much fun. Greg and Beth were fantastic characters that will teach us how to use poetry in a way that you can't describe, but only by poems. Miss Pollock, asked us to write a 3,2,1.

3.
things that you are looking forward to learning, developing or using in your poetry over the course of our Slam workshops.
 
- hope to learn how to make it sound more like a poem. Putting a rhythm into my poetry.
