A Visit From Jamie Pederson


                               
In our class we had a visit from a state representative Jamie Pederson. When he came we learned a lot about what he does as a representative, like how he works for the 43rd district in Washington. We also learned that the schools get half of the state’s money that they earned from taxes.  Jamie works in the capital of Washington State, Olympia. In the capital they vote about laws. We also learned that there are 49 different districts and that there is about 137,000 people living in each district. We had a great time learning all these cool facts and we hope he comes to visit again soon.

Book 3: The Candy Shop War is about 4 kids who go to a magic candy shop and eat magic candies that give them powers, like super strength or being weightless for a while. Book 2: A series of unfortunate events is about three kids who become orphans and are being chased around everywhere they go by count Olaf who is after their family’s fortune and they have to go from house to house as count Olaf seeks them out.

And this boy Benny Obi was gone for a year. I didn’t write this one sorry. That wraps up my latest installment of BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS HAPPY HALLOWTHANKSCHRISTMAS!
