We think we look great for 100 years old! But we couldn't stop laughing :) My assignment was to create any type of writing piece that highlighted what I would be like and/or what I will have accomplished at 100 years old. Here's what I came up with:
Hello. My name is Oliver.
We can tell you like colors, Oliver. (In my notebook, I wrote this piece with many colored pencils.)
I do.
What have you accomplished in the last 100 years?
Well, I'm glad you asked that. I have accomplished making it to the Major Leagues in baseball.
How did you feel when you accomplished that?
Is this a question?!? I felt great!!!
How many grandkids and great-grandkids do you have right now?
Sixty.
Wow! Did you hear that folks? 60! What else have you accomplished?
Well, I did create a machine that takes the calories and sugar away, and the food still tastes the same.
Wow!!! What kind of house do you live in?
I live in a mansion with many colorful stained-glass windows.
Who are your favorite teams?
Always has been, and always will be, the Mariners and the Seahawks.
Other things I did during week 4 include:
- Reading a biography on Ben Franklin.
- Starting two new books about colonial America titled, Sign of the Beaver and George Washington's Socks.
- Outlined a persuasive essay about my opinion on The Revolutionary War, using the book George vs. George as my main reference.
- Learned how to write a persuasive essay. My mom thinks paragraphs are like hamburgers. They should have a bun, then bacon, cheese, and beef, and then another bun. She's a wacky teacher.
- Finished my paper bag report on Woods Runner.
- Watched an episode of John Adams on HBO, and a documentary about The Sons of Liberty on the History Channel.
- Learned about the physics of hitting a homerun and throwing heat from the book How a Curveball Curves.
- Continued chipping away on fractions and grammar on IXL and Kahn Academy.
Catch you next week,
Ollie and Mom

Wow! I was really shocked when I saw the pictures of you and your mom... first. And then I read your report for the week which explained what you did.
Very funny!
Grandpa and I just read about a relative that lives in California named Anthony DeVoe Woolf who just celebrated his 100th birthday on Jan. 23, 2015. So.... longevity is definitely in your genes :)
I think I need to get this app, my house would have a blast with it! So funny!
