My PE work sample

Hi!

Every month I meet with my Sky Mountain teacher and talk about what I did for the month and give work samples for Math, History, Science, PE, and Language Arts.  This is what I wrote for my PE work sample:

"I am going to Atlanta because my Aunt is having a wedding.  I'm doing two dances with my cousins.  One of the dances goes like this:  first you clap two times and scratch the air two times.  For your feet you jog in place.  Do that three times.  The step after that is when you swing your arms back and forth 14 times.  While you are doing that, march in place.  Then do the clap, clap, scratch, scratch move again one time and after that, point up and move you hips.  Do that again.  The next move is when you push down with your arms and kick with your foot.  Then do it with your other foot with your arms up instead of down.  Then you clap two times and scratch two times.  That is the first song in the performance."

I finished The Tail of Emily Windsnap.  It's about a girl who turns into a mermaid because her dad is a merman.  So she is a mermaid and a human.  Her dad went to prison because humans and merpeople are not supposed to get married.  Emily found him and talked to Neptune.  Neptune said they could take her dad out, but they were supposed to  live somewhere else.

I read a book about the penguins that live on the Galapagos Islands.  They are called the Galapagos penguins. These penguins are tame.  They are not scared of people because we have been nice to them and feed them. Some people hunted them but they were sill friendly The Islands are near the Equator that's why it is hot there. They spread their wings and face the wind to cool off.

Penguins can’t fly because one time they knew how to fly and they flew somewhere. Then they learned how to swim so they couldn’t fly back. When penguin chicks hatch they are gray, fuzzy and blind. The chicks stay with their parents 30 days until they fledge. Fledging means when they learn to swim. Galapagos penguins are 21 inches and almost 5 pounds.  The males are bigger but that's the only difference between male and female Galapagos penguins.
