CLASS TODAY

In class today we have an evacuation drill. Mr. Schick was ready when we walked in the room. He told us what to do and what not to do and he helped find where i was supposed to go. Then we came back to the room about 10 minutes later and said that he had a special job for me. He said that I had to make sure he could see all the words for his song. He and his daughter redid a song and made it there own. Mr. Schick was the rapper in the song and he was so good!!!! I honestly loved it. Then we took notes. 

Slum-dog Millionare

We finished the movie Slum-Dog Millionaire. I had seen the ending before but i had never seen the whole thing. I have to admit it was sooooo much better the second time. Latica and Jamals realationship was so perfect. The whole thing was just eye opening for how they live in India. I loved watching this movie!!!
