is another big event that all the techsperts do. Each techsperts chooses a kind,
and you have to raise money for king and queen. The money we raise will go to
charity to buy books for the poor.

Wow!! This introduction should get me a 4! 

We’re techsperts, yet were expected to write blogs each week. I think we should only write a blog every 2 weeks. I think this because as I am writing this, I’m struggling to think of things to say. While this may be extremely enjoyable, I do not find writing an easy topic.

I’m writing a pointless blog so I can get a 4. Techsperts is my favorite hour. Dr. Bryson Travis is my favorite person in ESMS. I’m totally enjoying myself while writing this. Writing is totally my favorite thing to do.

Hello! It’s Izzy, from ESMS Techsperts, and I’ve been working with Spheros, a gadget where
you connect it to BlueTooth on your iPad, and get the app called Sphero. Then, you can play
with it all you want! You can make it dance, sing, and even act like a turkey! It is super fun to
play with, and some are even waterproof, so you can swim with him! You should definitely
consider getting this toy!

You should also get Dash and Dot, little gadgets you can hook up to your iPad, and play
around with them! Dash has a full body, and he is an adult. But Dot is a toddler, and he doesn’t
have a body, and can’t move, but he can speak so many sentences and words! You can make
them say what you say, and make Dash move around! You can even make Dash move Dot
around in a cup! They are both fun, and you could only get one(although it gets kind of lonely
without both of them), but they also pass the time. You should definitely get these!

     I The new piece of tech that i'm going to be talking about is the Speroes. This is a piece of tech that looks small but it works in a big way. You use your Ipad and get the app. And after you do the tutorial you can drive it you can change the color there are many options. And there are little powers like it will make noises and it will even rainbow. It can jump but I and my friends would not recommend it because it can tear it up. But I think it really deserves a awesome award because it is one awesome piece of tech.



On the 29 a wednesday the book fair will open and the king and queen will be chosen. And in techsperts we are making the king and queen palace and the awesome arch way. And the theme is island which is why we have the snow king and queen which when you donate to them all of it will go to a book charity. And hopefully we will have good sales this book fair and I know that we will with all your help.

Dear Blog by Ryley

Dear blog,

 The winter wonderland book fair starts on wednesday the 23. We have been making an arch and it is finally finished, it looks amazing and is very colorful. It is very hard to explain in words so when the book fair starts come down and walk through the arch. We having a king and queen of the bookfair who are raising money to bring books to read for kids who can't afford them. Come down and see the hard work we have done to give up the winter book experience.

     Being a techspert is amazing, I have been telling all of my friends everything we do and they are even thinking about talking to Ms.Travis about becoming a techspert. You guys have to understand that being a techspert is a privilege and we do lots of fun things that other classes will most likely never do. We get the experience of doing things yourself. We write blogs because we love to tell you and others what we do. We love helping and if you do too I suggest you come talk to Ms.Travis.

Blog by Dalton

     Being a techspert changes your daily schedule a lot and comes with a lot of responsibility. You get to be a part of bookfairs and all of the library needs.

     I would recommend this elective class because you get to try new things and have freedom and bond with a small group of people. You have freedom to create anything that represents the theme of the bookfair.

I am excited about this book fair. I hear that they may have the new diary of a wimpy kid book. This one is about the heffleys going on vacation. I really hope that the word is true!

The book fair is November 29- December 08. There will be a child play place for little kids to play at while the parents and the middle schoolers look at books. The book fair has little toys to buy but make sure you buy books too! The book fair will be awesome this year we all know that!
