C4K #1 Emy K’s: I Believe No One Should be Bullied

Emy is a fifth grade student. She is a victim of being bullied and in her blog she was speaking out about her incident. She explained that she hated going to school, because of the fear of being bullied. But what I found what was unique about her story was her bullies was her friends. Her friends would call her names and push her around. She finally broke down and told her mother what was going on at school, her mother was unhappy, but took matters into her own hands and went to the principal. The bullying stopped. I explained to Emy that I too was a victim of bullying. However, I was in middle school and I played soccer, and a few girls would bully me. I told her I thought that they were my friends. I told her that I thought it was fascinating to know that even though we live in a big world we can always find someone we can relate to.

C4K #2 Christine: My Scene- Starting Dancing Contest

Christine created a story that took place in three scenes.
Scene 1: The story was of Ran’s Birthday Party, it started as three friends (Christine, Yeon, and Jae) playing a Wii dancing game while Eugene was the judge and in the audience was Perky, Mary, Jakie, Zinnia, and Annie. The members in the audience was cheering and getting a little too loud and the dancers shouted “Bee Quuiieett!” The audience members sat quietly, but were board, but the dancers were having fun.
Scene 2: Minutes later Friends Eugene and Perky said “Guys let’s take turns dancing, and play 15 minutes each.” Ran replied “Sorry this is My House, My Birthday Present, and My Day.” Once the song ended the friends did take turns.
Scene 3: Everyone was able to have a chance on the Wii, ate dinner and feel asleep at Ran’s house.
-My response was after reading her story reminded me of being a kid again and going to sleepovers. Now my daughter is the one experiencing friend’s birthday parties. It was a great story to take me down memory lane.

C4K #4 Alli: The Government Shutdown

It looked as if this was a group project containing Alli and Leona. The two of them discussed how the Government shutdown was so important, but not just for parents, but for kids too. They had found an article from Time for Kids that said the last government shutdown was 17 years ago and it lasted for 21 days. Their driving question got me thinking “How come the government can’t compromise and we as 5th graders can?” Alli and Leona think that the government should compromise and everyone should move on and live their lives.
-My response was that I enjoyed their post, and that they did a great job. I also hope that our government can make a compromise.
