Science Reflection

I have learned many things in only three topics and here are some things that I have learned!

When I was working with everyone in my group, I learned that you have to wait for other and be patient with people. You can't rush anyone or you may mess them up and ruin the WHOLE experiment. It is the same when people rush you you could ruin the whole thing. You can't play the blame game when someone messes up something. You have to help them clean up and redo it because it could have been your fault they messed up.

My thinking has been pushed a lot through out the 3 lessons. I have had to think up new ideas so my group could do something fun. It was sorta the same when we were making Atom Models. That was a tough one for some people! Although it was tough sometimes it was also SO MUCH FUN!

My favorite experiment was when we got to mix all of the reacts in a bag and it blew up with air. I liked it because we all got to do something and it was one of the best experiments! I bet a lot of people agree with me!

Our Butik Artwork

This is our Butik ArtWork. It was so much fun to make!

Christalite Methodist Home

Today, we went to the Christalite Methodist Home.  The home helps people who are homeless or need help. We went there to decorate Santa Hats with them. Everyone I decorated hats with was very friendly but some didn't speak english. There was one lady that had asked me for a bracelet that was on my wrist. I promised her that I would get her one too! I had a lot of fun being the teacher for a day and I bet everyone else had a fun time too.

It made me feel very good that I could help someone else feel happy and create something nice. I hope all the old people at the home had a good time with us. I would feel really happy if I were the old folks who got to create some awesome hats. 

I bet the old folks also had a good time listening to us sing. We sung "Feliz Navidad","Silent Night", "Jingle Bells" and  "We wish you a Merry Christmas ". They all clapped after we had finished each of our songs. When we were singing "We wish you a Merry Christmas" (Our last song) one of the old folks started swaying back and forth then everyone on stage did too!

I think this has been the greatest field trip ever so far this year! I really enjoyed it and I hope everyone else did too. I think the old folks had the best time out of all of us because they got to create that awesome hats!

The message of "Wonder" By R.J. Palacio

This is the book cover of Wonder

I think the message of Wonder is never judge a book by it's cover. I think that because when everybody looked at August they got scared ,looked away or just kept staring. Before you judge someone you have to get to know them first. You shouldn't just look at someone and just assume if they are nice or not.

 Everyone thought that Auggie was a freak because of his face and he had almost no friends at all because everyone was too scared to go over and talk to him or touch him. Summer and Jack were his only friends. Julian was bullying Auggie because of his face. Julian had also bullied Jack for being friends with Auggie. I aren't too quick to assume things like a lot of people in Wonder.

My Amazing O.M.G.Y.H.T.R.Y.B.

O.M.G.Y.H.T.R.T.B.
Otherwise known as “Oh My Gosh You Have To Read This Book”

Look at that amazing book cover The Westing Game Has!

Title: The Westing Game

Author: Ellen Raskin

Reason: You HAVE to read The Westing Game  because it is a Action/Mystery book. It is a Proficient or a U-V book.

The Westing Game is set in “Sunset Towers” 5 miles off of Lake Michigan.

There are 16 heirs (Players) that are playing the game. The object of the game is to find the murder and get the Westing fortune. I can't tell you the ending of the book so here are some other books Ellen Raskin wrote were The Tattooed Potato and Other Clues , Who,Said Sue,Said Whoo? , A Murder for Macaroni and Cheese , Figgs and Phantoms , It Rained , Twenty-Two, Twenty-Three. You really have to O.M.G.Y.H.T.R.T.B.! I know I loved it!

Shark Finning is BAD

I think one thing I did well was that I came in with facts for my first paragraph to give them an idea about how many sharks we kill. At times I think I might have been playing the blame game but I took the part out.

I could work on trying to not to blame people for what ever I am writing about. I did that a couple times in this writing and I had to take it out.

Meaghan's Push-Up's and Crunches

I think one of my area's of strength are when I go down, I mostly keep my arms in a right angle.

One of my area's of improvement is keeping my butt down because it is sticking up into the air  







One of my area's of strength is that I bring my hands up to my knee's.
One of my area's for improvement is that I can come down softer and not hit my head and back so hard on the ground.
