Joshua’s speech

My Speech

Good morning Mrs. Dietz, Mrs. German, parents, guardians, and 5th grade. My name is Joshua Chavez this is a story about me.

When I first went to preschool I didn’t talk at all. I wouldn’t do any fun activities because I was afraid I would do something wrong. I wouldn’t talk because I was scared I would say something weird. So I was basically really shy.  But at the end of preschool I was a new kid. Instead of my parents telling me to talk they keep telling me to be Quiet!

My first time in Elementary school was for pre k. I was very excited  because when Miss. Bulmash was a pre k teacher she said it will be very fun. When I came I was little bit shy but in a couple of minutes I got comfortable and I wasn’t shy anymore. I remember there was a sand box and there was some toys to play with. There was also a science section. Since I was a little kid I thought we were going to blow things up, but I was wrong.

I remembered when my dad got my Wii game console in third grade for my birthday. When I started playing everything CHANGED. I stopped playing with my toy car, I stopped playing outside, and I stopped playing with my sister. I was obsessed with my Wii. I wouldn’t even let go of the controller. The only time I did let go was when I needed to use the bathroom or I needed to eat or when I went to sleep. My mom didn’t like that so she made a rule… I could only play video games on the weekends. For me that was torture, but when I got used to it, I finally got control of myself.

I am looking forward to middle school even if I’m not going to Neillsville I’m still very excited. I think in middle thing will be more challenging and science will be more interesting and funner. Learning new things and get our own lockers I think it’s exciting to me because I never had a  locker before so it’s a new experience for me.It’s more independent to because you walk to your classes by yourself and you get more than one teacher. You get to pick your own classes.

When I grow up I want to be a physician, a physician is a doctor that helps really sick people and gather medical information. I think a Physician is a cool, sad, and happy job. It is cool because you can use lots of technology. It is sad because some patient don’t make it. It is happy because you save the life of a patient and feel good about it.

Thank you for your time and have a amazing summer!!!

200 Years as a Cobbler

In 1815 when the company started everything was really slow everything was handmade people were getting hurt like that. It will take them a week to make one pair of shoes. They only make boots and buckled shoes and the style of the shoes are Man, Woman, and Kids. The only color they had is black and brown and the material they had  is just leather.

Now, in 2015 we can make shoes really fast and you can pick any color for your shoe and it quick and easy on the internet. Now you can customize your shoe and design it how ever you want. Now they use machine to make the shoe and it’s perfectly safe. The shoes now are are so comfortable than the shoes along time ago.


I think companies will sell flying shoes that will take you wherever you want to go. It will be made out of the most soft stuff that will make the shoe super comfortable and really fun to use.

Physician

Physician

By: Joshua

A physician is a doctor that helps really sick people and gather medical information. I think a Physician is a cool, sad, and happy job. It is cool because you can use cool technology equipment. It is sad because some patient don’t make it. It is happy because you save the life of a patient and feel good about it.

If you want to be a physician you need to graduate from high school, get a college degree, and medical degree it takes 12 years to do all that stuff. The salary a physician gets is 80 dollars per hour but in one week I get 13440.

A physician needs different types of tools like a Stethoscope, Otoscope, Blood Pressure Monitor, Thermometer, Ophthalmoscope, and much more. They use these tool to check if the patient is healthy or not.

I think a physician will still be here in the future because people will get sick every day. The physician needs to save their life so that they can be with their family. There are still some illnesses that are not cured yet. For example, we have not found a cure for cancer. People are dieing because of cancer. So a physician will still be here in the future.

Under The Rug

Under The Rug

One day in a beautiful forest called Seneca State Forest, located in West Virginia there was a big cabin with a wonderful family. There was a old man named Bob and his mom named Mom. Sometimes they go fishing at the river with their friends or go hiking with their brothers and sisters. But… all that fun and excitement will go down the drain on this trip.

One morning in the cabin Bob was really tired from the hike they had yesterday. So he was still sleeping.

“Bob” said Mom.

“What” said Bob.

“Time to eat breakfast” said Mom.

“5 more minutes” said Bob in a tired voice.

“OK but don’t blame me if your pancakes gets cold” said Mom.

Bob ignored her and went back to sleep. He was sleeping for 20 minutes and when he went down stair. Suddenly Bob heard a scream.

“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!” said Mom.

“What happened” said Bob.

“It the Demon Rat AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH” screamed Mom.

The Demon Rat is a small black rat that spits venom and he scratches you with his big nasty claws.

“Hissss” said the Demon Rat.

Bob immediately grabbed Mom’s arm and ran out the door to the camp fire.

When they got there Bob said “What happened how did the Demon rat get in there.”

“Well I was cutting some cheese for lunch then Demon rat crashed through the window.” said Mom trembling

“I’m going to see if the cost is clear okay” said Bob

“Okay” said Mom

Bob slowly went in the house and saw the Demon rat going under the rug. He got a mug and threw it at the Demon rat but he missed “Crash” the mug was so loud that it scared the Demon rat and ran out the window. Mom came in she said “Is it gone” and gave Bob a big hug. Everything has normal from then, but two weeks passed and it happened again. The Demon rat was in the house searching for cheese. Bob was coming down the stairs and he saw the Demon rat. When the Demon rat saw Bob the rat went under the rug. Bob got so angry that he grabbed a chair and smashed it on the Demon rat he smashed it so hard that it crushed all its bones.

“What happened?” cried Mom.

“I killed the Demon rat!” said Bob.

“It came back?!” said Mom.

“You deserve some pancakes” said Mom.

“Yay!” said Bob.

Clear Spring Park

Clear Spring Park

Clear Spring Park is next to the Scenery DR in Germantown it was made in 1981 it is a small park, there are trees for kid to climb on. There is a basketball court and a picnic.

I think Clear Spring Park is positive because kids can play and have fun and have birthday party. You can relax and sometimes the ice cream truck comes and give out ice cream. The park is really safe there are policemen.

Clear Spring Park is a fun place for kid to play and go on the monkey bar and swing on the swings and slide on the slide. Or have a party in the picnic area and play in the basketball court with friends. Kids can relax and have a picnic. Sometime the ice cream truck comes and give out ice cream to everybody. The park is really safe there are policemen in the park so goes wrong they are will stop it.

So Clear Spring Park is a positive thing in Germantown.

The Mythical Quest

The Mythical Quest

By: Joshua 

One day Steve and his best friend Jack were going on a quest in a cave to kill a Minotaur, Cyclops, and a Chimera because those three monsters were stealing their resources. Luckily Steve was prepared and brought jugs of fresh water, rope, a sword, a torch, and strong boots. Jack brought a bow and arrow and a grappling hook. They saw a sign next to the cave it said “ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK” But they ignored it.

 

When they went in the cave Steve and Jack tried to look around in the dark cave. When they went further they saw a Minotaur, a half man and half bull it was 16 feet tall his horns were the size of bananas. Trying to find something to eat. Steve pulled out his sword and attacked the Minotaur. The Minotaur got angry smoke came out of his nose and attacks. Jack helped Steve and shot the Minotaur with his bow and arrow. They finally killed the Minotaur and went deeper in the cave.

 

They were walking for one hour then Steve started to notice skulls on the wall. He wondered someone had to put up the skulls. One minute later they saw a big cyclops, a cyclops was a giant with one eye, they immediately split up. The cyclops was banging his club all over the place. Jack shot his grappling hook around the cyclops legs the cyclops fell down. Steve tied his long rope around the cyclops arms so he wouldn’t get up then Steve chopped his head off. They were getting hungry so they ate half the cyclops.

 

Now they are looking for a chimera, the monster has a head of a lion, a head of a goat, and a head of a snake. Steve and Jack were walking for half an hour until they heard a loud roar “ROAR!!” they ran towards the loud noise and sure enough it was the chimera!!! First they sneak attacked the goat head the goat head was chopped off. The snake got angry and the snake wrapped around Steve and Steve dropped his sword. Jake grabbed the sword and throws it to the snakes neck. Now its just the lion head so Jack shot the lion with the arrow and it went through its head.

Civil Right Movement

The Importance of Civil Right Movement

By: Joshua Chavez

 

The Civil Rights movement started in the 1950’s, Before the Civil rights black people weren’t treated equally and segregation in schools forced colored people out of white people school.

 

Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr was a great man but was arrested many times. He was born in Atlanta, GA. He was educated in Booker T.
Washington High School. When he speaks it sounds like he runs the country. Before he became famous he was a pastor at a church. In August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr was on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial giving his famous “I have a Dream” speech at the end of the movement. About 200,000 people went to see Martin Luther King Jr give his speech. He influenced African Americans all over the USA to join him in peaceful marches and protests.

 

Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks was a brave woman that became an icon for the Civil Rights movement. She was born in Tuskegee, AL. She was coming back home from work. She was getting on the bus and found a seat then a few minutes later, a white passenger came. She wouldn’t give up her bus seat to the white passenger. So she was arrested because she didn’t give up her seat, it was the law back then. Then when she was released from prison she was the leader of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Little Rock Nine

The little rock nine are nine brave black students that wanted to go to the high school near their homes.  On September 24, 1957 the nine students go to Central High School which is only for white people only and the Little Rock Nine are black. At first they weren’t allowed to go to that school because the Governor of Arkansas and white people near the school.  Segregation had ended so they were allowed to go any school they wanted. They ended getting into school because they were guarded by US soldiers sent by President Eisenhower.  The Little Rock 9 were picked on by white students.  One was even burned by her classmates, but they never gave up and kept coming back to school.

 

As a result of the Civil Right movement Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and The Little Rock Nine all changed the rules of the USA. They all showed the country that there was no reason to treat other people differently because they are human beings and should be treated equally.

KG3

Dear King George lll:

I am Joshua and I want to LEAVE ENGLAND and join the Patriot.

 

I don’t want to listen to some gagged up king. Also the colonies didn’t even have their rights to choose their KING!! In the Boston Massacre lobster back were killing innocent people. But what I hate most of all is the Quartering act, brainless soldiers knocking on your door and disrespecting your stuff. Right now me and the Patriot are preparing for war.

 

So if you people still want to be with King George you better think again!!!
