30 Day Gratitude Project

Hello everyone, I am going to tell you about a project I am doing for my leadership class. It is called The 30 Day Gratitude Project. For 30 days I am going to be posting pictures and videos of what I am grateful for. So keep a look out for this blog if you want to know what I am grateful for.

Our Williamsburg Academy Story

Hi everyone!

I have not posted any projects for a while but I have lots of them. I have just been so busy I don't get to blog too much. But I wanted to share a video we made of Williamsburg Academy which we attend. It is an awesome school and I think parents should send the kids there. 

But I think I will let the video tell you more. 

Second Semester of Leadership Class at Williamsburg!

Second semester of Leadership Class

at Williamsburg  Academy

     I have not posted anything for a while because I have been really busy. I had a great Christmas break and lots of family members visiting. 

    So, now I have a new teacher for leadership class. At the beginning I did not think I could get through being with a new teacher, but I like her, and is better than what I expected. My teacher is really cool and nice.

    I will be posting some of my jobs here. I think that in Leadership Class they help me think and help me to be a better person so I can be a better leader one day. I like learning about different leaders of history and how can I learn from certain animals and their characteristics to make me a better person.

 

Thomas Jefferson is one of my favorite leaders. 

      His quote that we picked for our class:

"Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom"

Piano Practice - Something else I do

My Piano Practice

I want to share a video I got for the school paper. 

         Even though I am a home-schooled kid, I also take classes at a school called Williamsburg Academy Intermediate. They wanted us to share something that shows our talents for the school paper so I sent in this video of me practicing piano at home. I take piano classes and my teacher is Jessica Monteiro. She is a really good teacher and she is really nice too.

      I hope you like this video of me practicing piano at home. Maybe soon I can share a video of me doing BMX!

Jimmy Carter, today in history-Leadership Project

                                             Today in history

                                                               October 11, 2012


                                                                 Jimmy Carter

               A leader and Former President of United States of America

             A day like today October 11th of 2002, Jimmy Carter, who was the 39th president of the United States, won a Noble Peace Prize because he had peace talks between Israel and Egypt in 1978.

           Jimmy Carter ( James Earl Carter Jr. ) was born on October 1 of 1924, he is 88 years old now. When he was a child, his father owned a peanut farm in Plains, Georgia and Jimmy Carter helped his father on the farm.

         He went to the NAVY but while he was in the NAVY, they made fun of him because he was short. He did not pay attention to that, and he became a Lieutenant and he even had a submarine in charge.

       As a president he would not fight with other countries, he would bring peace and he negotiated with them. He also fights for human rights and is the author of 17 books.

     I think he is a leader for not letting other people stop him from his goals and for using peace to negotiate and talk to other countries.

Peter Stuyvesant-Leadership Project

        Project Leadership Class

     Today's Leader

         Date:10/4/12   

Peter Stuyvesant- Established America's First Volunteer Fireman

     Today’s leader


            I picked today’s leader and his name is Peter Stuyvesant. He established 

America’s first volunteer firemen. He was born in the Netherlands in 1592 and died in 1672. 

Mr. Stuyvesant served in the Dutch Army and he was a governor and he lost a leg in an attack t the Portuguese Island of St. Martin. he later moved to America and he was appointed director at 

New Amsterdam on May 11, 1647.

As a director of New Amsterdam he organized a council and made a court. But he was unpopular because he was a bit of a dictator leader and he got in trouble a lot with other colonist leaders.

Even though he was tough, every thing was organized and he created a lot of things for the colony like trading with other countries and people felt safe with him around because 

he protected the colony.
