For Thanksgiving we had a whole week off of school. My family and I went out of town to our grandparents house in Chico. The first day that we were there my grandma and I made chocolate chip cookies. We had a lot of fun. On Thursday we made turkey and all the trimmings. I was really good.

     It's the middle of November. The leaves begin to change color and the weather becomes cooler. I love fall it is one of my favorite times of the year. I also love November because we get so much time off of school. This week we have a four day weekend and we only have to go to school three days and then we have a whole week off for Thanksgiving.      I love Thanksgiving. This year we are going out of town to my grandparent's house. on Thanksgiving day we usually go on a three mile run called the Turkey Trot. I know that most people think we are crazy running around the morning of Thanksgiving and most people say at home with their family and eat really good food. Our family is very active. The whole family runs in this race and the ones who can't come anyway and take picture and cheer us on. Even our grandma runs with us. But sadly this race is in Fresno and for Thanksgiving we will be out of town with the not so active side of the family. So call me crazy, but my brother and I are going out by ourselves and running. Then after our run we will go home and eat with our family.

     In computer class we do many things. Lately we have been woring on our digital portfolo, which is a part of my website were you can view some of my work that we have been doing in our classes. for example, on my core page I  wrote a refelction on our recent simmulation. I have pictures and a summary of the lesson.
      We have also been learning how to use Microsoft word. We haae mulitple viedos to watch teaching us the basics on how to use Word. The viedos tell you the best way to create a Word document. While watching these viedos we have to take Coenell style notes. We have to take these note to help us learn the content better. It helps me out a lot because, When I need to take the test the night before I review the notes. this is much easier than watching the vieods over again. it is also easier because with Coenell notes my parents can eaisly quiz me and help me learn even better. I like taking notes on things like this.
