Box Day

We are having box day in our class. This is when our teacher puts everything we have to finish in a chart on the Smart Board. After we finish an item we cross it off, at the end of the day everything that's not finished is homework for Friday. But this week we are lucky because there is no school, on Friday or Monday. We the students get a 4 day long weekend, but the teachers have to work on Friday and Monday, they are very lucky. Our class has been using a place on Twitter called #comments4kids, this is where teachers put on their class blogs, and other people go there' click on a link and go and comment on a blog. It is very good and our teacher put our blogs on it to. Our class twitter account is the Major Tweeters, we are looking for followers. Well Good Bye and have fun with your lives.

YouTube Should I Or Not

Rémi Gallard is a French football trickster, and prankster. He has gained lots of attention in the French media, by performing soccer tricks, and later putting prank videos on you tube. He disguised himself as a football player, in the 2002 Coup De France final match. He went down on the field and took part in the winner celebrations, and even shook the hand of the French president. After he quit his job he began having fun and creating videos. He started displaying some of his soccer skills by doing trick shots, and later went into pranks like the kangaroo video . He has appeared at sports events and has also been on a few game shows. He gets caught by the police a lot. Then he`s bailed and keeps going. He has lots of guts to do some of the stuff he does. The only reason people don`t beat him after he does something, is because he`s quite famous in French media, but sometimes he dresses in costumes, and sometimes it hides his face, so sometimes people dont know who he is till after. One thing is he gets a lot of support from his friends and viewers, some videos have millions of viewers, In total he has 523 million views. So to me I dont think he really regrets it because he just keeps going.[like the energizer bunny] Because of all the support he doesn`t feel bad about it because it makes so many people laugh. Gaillard's motto is "C'est en faisant n'importe quoi qu'on devient n'importe qui" in translation: "It's by doing whatever that you become whoever". So after that he is now known as a prankster all over the world because of the videos. He calls himself a clown and he`s good at it so he gets money and supporters so he doesn`t really feel bad about now. And to me I dont think he`ll be to sorry about it in 10 years.

My First Term and Goals For The Year

Two things I have learned this year is-

1. In math I learned about Integers and how to add and subtract them.
2. And in social we did projects on a country so I learned a lot about Germany

Two things I am proud of is-

1. My social project with my brochure and flag that we had to quilt.
2. The sheets we did while doing Integers because we were doing 2-3 class each with 30 questions.

Two goals for the next term-

1. To do my homework when I get and not wait till the last minute,to do this when I get homework I will do it at home right after school or supper that night even if it isnt due for two days.
2. To study for my tests better by taking my books home making sure things are all together and making sure I study and to do start studying a week before the test each night for 20 min.

The End of Combining

This week we finally finished combining. This year I drove the combine by myself, Grandpa had helped me and I drove it all alone on the first day. I drove the New Holland CX840 and my Dad drove the Case 2388. We started at 11:00 on Sunday morning and we went for 15 hours straight, it was a long day. I never came out till 12:30 and then we finished one piece of 40 acres and then 80 acres that was farther North. This crop up there was our best crop of wheat we had it ran close to 50 or 60 bushel an acre. Then we had to move homeright in front of our yard. this crop was our worst crop because it had been hailed and then there was little bit of goose damage. This was the worst field for our trucker because he is right across from the yard so he barely has to haul but when he was up north he barely made it back in time. When we finished combining it was 3:00 int he morning Monday. We were tired and we went up to my grandmas house. An hour later it started to rain. The rain never lasted long but it dampened everything down. The next afternoon I had to bail the stuff in front of our house. I made around 40 round bales and then I wanted some square bales to use for 4-H. After we made the square bales I had to start hauling them with the truck. There was 45 bales and I hauled each one and had to stack it in the barn.

Harvest

Yesterday we started combining. We have been swathing for awhile, because I felt like it's been too wet to combine. We started with canola. I got to drive the combine by myself for the first time. I drove before with my grandpa in the combine but last night my grandpa had to scare geese off the other unharvested fields. We have two combines: one Case 2388 and a New Holland CX 840. I drive the New Holland. To test if I was ready, Grandpa made me dump the combine into the truck still moving. After I did this, he left me. While Grandpa was gone, the bin was full so my dad and the trucker had to stop so they could move. I was harvesting by myself and filled the combine and had to sit and wait for the truck to come.

The Week

It was raining this morning and the forecast is for rain and cold for the rest of the week. On Saturday we started swathing with the pulltype swathers. We have one pusher swather that is a Hesston 8100. This week at our school we have people from La Tabatiere, Quebec. They are on an exchange fom there. This week they are at our school doing activities, and 2 weeks fom now our students will go there. The ages that are there are gr.9-12. Today they went on a trip to a cattle farm and to Vetern to the cattle market there. The wet weather isn't good for the harvest; crops are already a couple weeks behind and the rain just keeps pushing them back. Some people have started combining early crops but the major crops like wheat, and durum aren't ready. Some barley is ready. With the setback on harvest, the Quebec kids might not see lots of harvesting.
