Writing

Let's try writing that's not BORING! That means I don't want to hear about EVERYTHING! I want you to ZOOM into a MOMENT IN TIME...Let's see the difference!

BORING!!!

Last week, we went to Tiger Woods Learning Center. It was so much fun! We got to learn about marine science and even dissected a squid! We got to use programs on the computer and also learned to golf. I can't wait to go back on a Saturday and learn to golf some more!

ZOOM IN!!!

When I heard we were going to dissect a squid at Tiger Woods Learning Center this week, I was so excited! On our day to dissect, we patiently waited for our teacher to explain what we were looking for. We had to watch a slide show and be able to identify things we were taught on the slides. She handed out a tray to put our squid on, tweezers, scissors, and some gloves. I could see the excitement on everyone's faces. Some people, I could tell, were even kind of grossed out, but not me! When the teacher passed out our squid, all I wanted to do was touch it. Finally, we were given the okay and I carefully observed the squid with my partner. Wow, what an interesting animal!

OR TRY THIS ONE!!!

Today at Tiger Woods Learning Center was my day to golf and I had no idea what to expect. Our class filed down the stairs and outside to a place called the driving range. It was a cool, misty morning but the sun was out and I could see dew on the grass. First, we stood around the putting range in a circle and met our instructor, Mr. Gonzales. I noticed he had a strange looking club with a long head on it. We had to be really quiet so we could listen to his instructions. After a few putts, he took us over to the place where we would be swinging and hitting the balls. He showed us how to hold the golf club and how to line ourselves up to the ball. Then he partnered us up and talked us each through three swings with the ball while our partners sat on the ball baskets and waited for us. Then, our partners switched with us and we continued until Mr. Roman called us back into the circle. He brought out this huge club called a driver. After he put it on the tee, he swung back and hit that ball so far, I lost it in my eyesight! When I saw that, I knew I wanted to golf again!

EATING LUNCH AT TWLC

Eating lunch at Tiger Woods Learning Center is way better than eating lunch at school. First of all, instead of eating in the cafeteria, we get the choice of eating outside or inside. If you eat inside, you can eat at tables that have high chairs. I almost have to jump up to sit on one. If it's nice outside, you can sit at a round table with umbrellas. If you want, you can sit next to whoever you want to. They don't feed you at Tiger Woods, you have to bring your own lunch. But it is great because, I know I am going to get something that I really want to eat. One thing I noticed about Tiger Woods Learning Center is they have vending machines. But they only sell healthy snacks and drinks like veggie chips and protein bars or water, lemonade, and iced tea. I wish my school could be more like Tiger Woods because then I might eat my WHOLE lunch everyday.
