Hey guys back here to talk to you about a very sad day. Today is my last day writing to you guys on Friday. Yeah pretty sad, but don't be sad. I had a great year here at Computech. It is one of the best school years of my life. I know that when I'm finished with 7th grade, that I will be going to 8th grade, which is a lot harder. I really don't want harder work, but it has to happen so that I can learn more and be smarter. 

There are some things coming up this year. The first thing is that we will be going to Wild Water Adventure Park next Friday, so that will be fun and I may write a blog about my experience. Then the 7th graders will have the reading counts party to see who made their goal of 500,000 words and who reached 1,000,000 words and who got the most words out of everybody. After that we have the 7th grade awards assembly where the 7th graders get an award for everything they have done this year. I know I am going to get an award like perfect attendance and honor roll or high honor roll. It will be fun and I will remember this school year for ever. Everyone will know that I went to one of the best schools in the nation. Well I have to go now so thanks to everyone who read all of my blogs. You guys are great. Bye!!!

On Tuesday we went to the zoo to learn about our animal. I was really excited to go, and I couldn't wait any longer until we got to the zoo. I then realized how disappointed I was, and how boring it was. We had stations to go to, and that made it even worse. The stations were pretty boring, and we had to answer questions about some of the animals there. The whole day was so boring, and my whole group even agreed with me that the trip was boring. They didn't even let us buy anything there, and we didn't have lunch there, but we had lunch at school. I didn't eat the lunch because it was Tuesday and they serve the lunch that I don't like that day.

The first thing my group went to was the new place called the Sea Lion Cove. We went there and the top of the exhibit was pretty boring because all the sea lions were just swimming. We then went  to the bottom of Sea Lion Cove, and that place was much better. You could see the sea lions swimming under water and the scuba divers looking at us and all the different things underwater. It was pretty cool, and that was the best thing at the zoo. The rest of the trip was boring because I have went to the zoo many times and it gets boring each time I go. The only thing new for me was the Sea Lion Cove exhibit. I hope Computech makes improvements to the zoo trip so the new 7th graders can have a great experience.

We have been working on our zoo websites for our trip to the Fresno Chaffe Zoo. For our websites, we have to make a website about an animal at the zoo and teach the people who go to the zoo about our animal. My group got the Speke's Gazelle. The Speke's Gazelle kind of looks like a deer and has this weird lump on its nose. It is called a nasal sack. I really didn't like our animal because there wasn't that much information on it.

Our trip to the zoo is on Tuesday, and I am really nervous that people won't like our website. We are almost finished making the website. We just need a few things left, and then we will be finished. I really hope that people like our website and learn new things about the Speke's Gazelle and maybe try to save it because it is endangered. After we have our trip, we will fix our website and get graded. I would give our website a B because there are some things we need to fix. We put most of our time on the website, and I hope you will like it. Here is the link to our website. http://computechzoo2013.weebly.com/spekes-gazelle.html

Next week we are taking one of the hardest tests in California. Its that time of year again where we take the CST. The CST tests us on what we have learned so far. I have learned many things this year, but I am really nervous about the CST. I heard that this maybe be the last CST we ever take. Instead of taking the CST, we will take a test called the common core standards test. 

I have taking the CST since second grade. You start taking the CST in second grade. Since this maybe the last CST we ever take, it makes me wonder what the new test will be like. I asked my core teacher about it. She said that it will probably start in the 2014-2015 school year, and it will be on a computer. I think this is a great Idea because it will be easier to answer the questions on the computer, but there are some bad things about it. Some people may use the computer to look the answers up and cheat. I don't think that will happen, but it could.
