Adam Gidwitz Visit

https://www.adamgidwitz.com

Hi! Today I’m going to tell you about Adam Gidwitz visiting our school.

Adam Gidwitz is an author that writes many books for children. He specifically talked about a book based on a man that he knew as a kid. This man was born in Germany. When he was just 10 years old, his parents sent him away to another country so he wouldn’t die because of the war. He didn’t have his parents after that because they stayed in Germany. This book is similar to his story but the kid in the book has 2 voices that speak to him on his shoulders. If you are interested in reading the book, it’s called Max in the House of Spies (This man was a family friend from when he was a kid).

Planting Trees

Hi! Today I’m going to tell you about a field trip my grade took. You probably already know from the title that we were planting trees.  So let me tell you a little bit about it.

First, it was a really fun experience even though it got REALLY messy. My pants were completely covered in mud. It is also really fun to do with a friend. I did it with my friend Lindsey and I learned that this project includes a lot of teamwork.

The first thing we did was find a tree in a pot with soil already in it. Then we found a spot to plant it. Once we found the spot, we started digging a hole about the size of the pot. We had some trouble because we kept on hitting rock and roots so we had to relocate our tree. Once it was deep enough, we took the tree out of the pot and got out some of the extra soil so we could put it in the hole.After we put it in the hole, we covered it with mulch and we were done. We did the same thing in another place so we could have 1 tree to both of us.

Overall, it was the best field trip I’ve had in a while. Thanks for reading! Bye!
