LE Big Day of Reading by Naqiya

This week all of Leading Edge did a pajama and a reading day. The point of this was to get a relaxing day after winter break so you can show up in your pajamas and to activities regarding reading. This special day is a very fun day because everyone can just be in their pajamas and read. Some of the reading activities we did were; reading a story in math called One Grain Of Rice and we had to double a rice of grain for each day and tell the total, in P.E we did the partner mile our partner would read while the other one ran. In science tech we learned about historical fiction, in expressions we did found poetry.

So basically in the partner mile thing what we did was we all brought out books and we each ran or walked a big lap and in that time our partner was supposed to read. This time for the partner mile there was no limit so you were just supposed to run as many laps as you can.

        

In math we read a story called One Grain Of Rice. And so what our job was that we were supposed to find out how many grains there would be at the end of thirty days.

And since every day the raja doubled the grains it was a little hard to do the whole addition in the end.

In Science tech we went to the media center and talked about historical fiction and the sub genres. We talked about historical fiction because it was the genre that we were going to read next.

So what we learned was that even in historical fiction there are many genres and some genres mix a little bit with fantasy and science fiction which gave a shock. (I hate historical fiction).

In expressions we did found poetry. The idea of found poetry Is to rip out a page from a book and use a couple words to make it into a poem. My poem was depressing because it went to the dark side of human nature. A little violence but amazingly cool.
