gAmE gOaL!!!>

The topic that me and my team are doing is about Global Warming. What we are basically trying to tell the people who will play our game is that earth right now is really having a rough time with recycling and pollution. We would want to see more cleaning around neighborhood and less pollution everywhere. This topic is really big around the world and that's why we would want to spread out the word to start cleaning and being more helpful to the community and the world. We would really want to accomplish this goal and hope that everyone agrees with it.

MaD HoT BaLlRoOm!!!!....

The main message of this movie was that no matter what shape,size or age you are you can still do what you want to do. Like these 5th graders they practiced their butts off and they got to a big goal they weren't expecting. I think that it is really inspiring for other 5th graders who would love to try this out or any other grades that they would like to do this because it gives them motivation to pursue their dream and be proud of what they done. This is what our future holds and I am very proud of this children who accomplished this I hope to see more of this motivational competitions for children later on in the future.

Okay that's problaby all I needed to say........ bye see you on the dance floor and let's party!!!!

MaD HoT BaLlRoOm!!!

Mad Hot Ballroom is about 3 groups of 5th grade in different elementary schools in new york competing against each other in dancing. This movie shows how they can practice dancing in over only 8 weeks and pull it off. For kids about 10 years old they are really good and had great motivation throughout the whole 8 weeks. Definetely one team doesn't make it to the semifinals but they still did a greata job. We didn't finish the rest of the movie but I think that all the teams did a really great job. Dancing for them just wasn't an excersice or a fun thing to do it was motivation and inspiring for them because they get to prepare for their future careers and have a wonderful life. I recommend this movie to anyone that likes dancing and who would like to get inspired.

CaReEr ImAgInAtIoN!!!!

I am going to take you on a day in my dream career. My dream is to become a Pastry Chef and open my own bakery with my family. Most of my cousins really liked my Idea of my career and they tought that it was really fantastic and hoped to work with me later on in the future. I would graduate college and go on to look for the perfect place for my bakery. On a normal day I would wake up at 5:30 in the morning and drive up to my future bakery called "Sweets and Treats" and open it. I would go in there and start baking and decorating my cakes with my family. While I would be working I would get calls from people who want to place an order for a cake or maybe want to have a meeting with me about the cake they want. I would sell some of my secret family recipes and let other people enjoy them. I imagine the bakery being full with lots of customers complementing on my sweets and treats. After the bakery would close I would have a toast for making it through the day and doing our job. I hope to accomplish this dream and  make the best of it that I can.
