Jessica's Dream Blog

Today, I'm going to write what I learned this week. This week in ELL class I learned about Christopher Columbus. Columbus was the person who discovered America. Columbus did some bad things, too. He killed lots of Natives Americans. He treated the Natives like slaves and brought diseases to them. People voted to transform Columbus Day into Indigenous People's Day. A person called Mayor Suzanne Jones said "The day should not be about the people who came, but the people who were already here." I agreed with this person very much. After I learned about the story of Christopher Columbus and some facts, Mrs. Berzinskas - my ELL teacher, told me to write a outline before essay. Although I made a mistake, but Mrs. Berzinskas help me fix it later. I learned Christopher Columbus this week. I wonder what I'll learn next week.

     This was my second years at Webb. Now, I'm seventh grade. This year, I'm very glad that I met lot's of old friends from last year and some new friends like Iris, Jessica, Nino and, Haipei. I like my schedule very much, everything is arranged. All the teachers were very nice and kind. This year my cousin doesn't ride the school bus with me anymore, because he board at school. He probably got homesick. Last year, I didn't join after school activity, but now I join tennis and workout. I think I love it very much. ELL is always the difficult part for me. I want to challenge myself this year. I will learn more new vocabulary and read more books, especially grammar. I have to study hard. I hope my English will better then before.
