Oakdale, California, USA

We are located in California on the west coast of the USA in a tiny town called Oakdale.

It is located in the central valley, and is between the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and the Bay Area. The bay area is near a semi-big city, which is San francisco. Our town is not all that big, beings though we only have a population of an estimated 21,000 people, according to the research done in 2013. Oakdale calls itself the “Cowboy capital of the world� because we have a lot of farming, agriculture, and cowboys here. We have a big rodeo every year.

Our School Our school’s campus is really big so that means it has a lot of cool stuff to have on it. In our school there are three playgrounds; the kindergarten playground, the 1st through 3rd grade playground, and our playground - the 4th through 6th one. I think our is the best because it has monkey bars, three slides, wobbly screws that you can stand on, a bouncy thing that you jump up and down on. We also have an outside eating area with 15 green tables and in the summer time they have umbrellas. Our school has two grassy areas, one on the playground and one in the middle of campus. Our school has lots of shady trees to sit under and talk with your friends too.

Our Classroom & Teacher In our school we all have our own desks but they are put into groups. We have an awesome teacher Ms.Hensley. Our teacher is very smart and she helps us understand. She is really good with technology. We have a class pet named Mike who is an African fat tailed gecko (lizard). We have Chromebooks and a new Smart Board as well as a Smart Kapp. Our class is in the local newspaper because we just did the Google Expeditions.

We also play kickball which is another version of baseball but instead of using a bat we use our feet. Sometimes when we feel like playing baseball we play kickball for fun.

During Christmas we open up christmas presents that are wrapped so it’s a surprise what’ s inside. In school we have Christmas parties and decorate our classrooms a little.

Christmas is mostly about having fun with your family all day. ~Valentine's Day- Is on

What you do on halloween is you change into any costume like a ghost, vampire, etc and wait until it’s night. You go trick-or-treating which means you go to people’s houses and ask for candy. When you ask for candy you yell Trick -or -treat.
