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...

A Little Bit About Me 2020

Hi, my name is Diya Sudhagar. I am currently eleven years old I have four people in my family including me. I have a little sister named Isha, who is in second grade at Welch Elementary. I also have my mom and dad. An area of interest that I have is singing. I came to be interested in it at a young age, maybe around 2 or 3. My parents enrolled me in Hindustani Classical Music when I was around 3-4. I am still learning now and I have performed many times. I listen to so many songs, when studying, eating, car rides, movies, restaurants, etc. I feel just that music is a special part of me. My talents are reading, imagination, organizing, singing, and dancing. I use my talent of organizing to stay neat while doing schoolwork. I use the talent of dancing to dance with my family and friends when we put songs to dance to. My imaginations used when I just want to daydream/imagine things that aren’t true. For instance imagining…. meeting famous people!!! My reading ke...

Apple Picking

Around the end of August my family and another family went apple picking at Kuipers Family Farm. It was the perfect time to go, not too hot, not too cold. A new attraction they had were Sunflower Fields. There were so many beautiful sunflowers. My favorite part about the sunflower fields 🌻 were that each person could pick a sunflower to take home. My little sister's flower was tiny, while mine was medium sized. Whenever we go there we always get fresh donuts from the farm. I would say doing going here is a yearly tradition. Picking fresh apples from the apple trees, and eating them is scrumptious. At the end of our visit all the kids go on a train ride across the apple trees, tunnels, and beautiful flower fields. Facts about many farms Many times fruits are picked earlier than they should be or have been sprayed with chemicals, but at farms you can pick them fresh without any chemicals Farmers will have to grow 70 percent more food than what is currently produced to fe...
