Adventure in the Xenotes (Part 1)

 What is a Xenote or the real term Cenote?

A Cenote is a natural pit or sinkhole formed from the collapse of limestone bedrock which exposed the ground water. Cenotes are found in rain forests.

Our tour guide led us through 4 Xenotes. The first Xenote was zip lining into pretty deep water. I had no idea it was so deep and I did many rounds of zip lining. We started on a really tall cliff. There were 2 types of zip lines with different poses. 

I first did the sitting one or referred to as the Hammock Splash on. I expected the water to be freezing but it actually was not too bad. The next time I did a Superman pose on the hammock, basically you are lying down with your stomach facing the ground, and then holding on to the sides you would become Superman or Supergirl. After that I did a pose where I would stand up on one foot on the hammock all the way into the water. That was a very strange experience. The pose i did not do was hanging upside down into the water because the group had to leave. I was the person who did it the most. Remember when i said we started on a tall cliff one lady jumped from the top of it into the water. That was scary, I am brave at jumping, but not that brave to jump from like 25 ft high.


Stay Tuned For Part 2!!!!!

6th Grade

Knock, knock Who’s there? Justin Justin who? Just in time to login to school for the day. I started 6th grade in the beginning of September. Due to remote learning my classes have been taken remotely. In class we learn something new every day. I always wonder how 6th grade would have been if this global pandemic had never happened.  All of my teachers are really friendly and nice. Why did the Chromebook look so sad during math class?Because it had so many problems!! Just like that remote learning can have many problems but my teachers keep me engaged in class lessons or doing classwork. I really appreciate all of the hard work they have done to make 6th grade enjoyable. I enjoy listening to Hoot&Hollers(book talks) in ELA. In science I enjoy playing Blooklet and learning about the mysteries of light. In math I enjoy being able to understand function concepts easily. In social studies I enjoy learning about culture's, similarities and differences.  Even though, th...

One Word 2021

I find it hard to remember resolutions, and maybe it's the same for you. My teacher assigned us to choose one word that we could reflect on during 2021. My word is persistence, which means to keep on trying when things get hard. This could reflect on homework or tests. If you get something wrong, you should at least understand what or why you did it. This could also reflect on blogging or just day to day life. Failing to get a soccer goal or not hitting a game change ball in tennis. None of this means you should stop there will be other opportunities to try again. Just learning from you mistakes is what matters. Getting into an argument with a friend doesn't mean you should never talk to them. This word inspires me to try my hardest and you should too. Tell me your word of the year in the comments below!!!

The Outsiders

The Outsiders.                          Written by: S.E. Hinton.                       Reviewed by: Me                                    In school we had to read this book in second quarter. It was so good, it had many plot twists and kept me reading. I wanted to finish reading the book as soon as I started. Ponyboy was part of the Greasers. There were two big groups in the neighborhood, the Socs, and the Greasers. The Socs were rich, spoiled kids, while the Greasers were poor kids. Many times the Socs jumped the Greasers when they were walking alone. Pony's parents died in a car crash, so the only family he has left is his fun brother Soda, and his oldest brother Darry. One night Pony and another Greaser, Johnny were in the park. They meet a bunch of Socs are there. They st...
