Sweet Earth

Today I'm going to sweet earth as a reward for doing so well on my math test for unit 10. I only got 1 wrong which is really good because nobody got 100%. So I get to go to Sweet Earth. Also I got to choose what kind of candy I wanted for my Easter basket and I wanted jelly beans! Jelly beans are so delicious, they have so many different flavors and all of them are yummy! I also get chocolate eggs and chocolate bunnies! My dad and I are also going to church on Easter too. I'm really excited because I like church a lot!

Today I set out on a search for my ruby dagger that was stolen, by us nymphs worst enemy: the furies (all of this is from Percy Jackson) I set out with my emerald dagger instead and a small  bag of supplies. I will rely on my fellow sisters to guide to the furies, which is (shudder, shudder)  underground! I really hope I won't have to do anything physical, I'm really under weight because I'm supposed to be 101 lbs. but I'm 87 lbs. Also all my friends say I'm not very physical but I have to go, I'm going underground and I'll update you later.

Colors, Colors, Colors!

Today I had another orthodontist appointment and before she started she told me that I would be done in about 1 or 2 months. She also said I was her fastest patient, because most people need to wear their braces for 2 years or more. I only had them on for 1 year and 4 or 5 months. I also got my 2 expanders out today and she had to adjust my bands at the back of my mouth but because she would have to put them back in, its painful for me and her. She has to push and push and dig and poke and pull to get it to...
not fit! Then she has to try again, so instead she said she was must going to but a bracket on but she said I can't tell anyone because she's not really supposed to, well she could but the people in charge won't be happy. But I sure was happy and I got to have colored bands and I chose pink and green. I also got colored rubber bands! They're so pretty I got pink, green, purple and red! I really like colorful things!

Today I was hanging out with some of my friends and at the end we were running towards the park when it happed. I tripped and I was lurching towards the ground so instinctively I put my hands out and I kind of bounced. I got 5 scrapes. 2 on my right knee in was 2 inches wide and 1 inch tall the second on that leg is the size of a quarter. They both stung a lot and I got 1 scrape on my left knee about the size of a quarter. I totally ruined my pants and I scraped my hands, 1 on each hand. It hurts a lot but I'm glad that I have an orthodontist appointment so I probably miss swimming. I can't go swimming with 3 big cuts and scrapes on my legs and 2 on my hands.

I don't really like half days because we only get to do part of the work and classes we usually get to do. Like we didn't have Eng. Tech today or science and social studies. We only had orchestra, la, math and homeroom. But at least we still had math.

Math

My favorite subject in school is math because I always get to learn something different everyday. Mostly everything in math has more than one way you can solve a question. Which is cool because you can't just say 'here's the way you have to do it,' because that's not true there's always more than one way to solve a problem. Just like there's more than one way to skin a cat. That's why math is my favorite subject.

Parenthetical Picture Plan

“To me, bravery is to stand up for what you
believe in.” (Someone giving a speech) Going to school (School) and making friends (friends) is hard, doing it with a facial
deformity (Facial Deformity) is harder. (One person at school) In the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio, (Wonder) Auggie overcomes the challenge of going to school with a facial deformity. (Someone with a facial deformity) He’s brave just to try to
go to school (School) but getting through a whole year is really brave. (Word brave) Some people think (Thinking)
that it’s easy to make friends (Friends) but it takes more than going to school (School) to make
friends. (A group of friends) It takes a wonder (Wonder) to that. Most people think that's it's not that
hard, but I think that it takes a lot of bravery. (Someone rushing into a fiery building)  I think in Wonder by R.J Palacio, (book wonder) that Auggie is a wonder for being that brave. (Wonder)  (7)


At  the beginning of the story it gives evidence that Auggie (young boy) is a wonder because Auggie has two friends (2 friends) and that's an accomplishment to makes friends (A group of friends) especially with a facial deformity (Facial Deformity). At the beginning not many people (people) were nice to him (nice), they gave him mean looks and whispered about him. For example all those people felt 'horrified.(Horrified) Sickened. Scared.' One girl (girl) sticks up for him and sits with him at lunch (People sitting with people at lunch). Her name is summer (Summer) and she tells the girls who are bullying (Bullying and mean notes) him and laughing (Laugh) at him to stop it. Jack also sticks (A stick) up for him when Julian calls him mean names and bully’s him (Bully). This shows that
he has really good friends (Good Friends) and he really is a wonder (Wonder) for making friends (Friends) that stick up (A stick that's high up) for you. (7)


His friends stick up for each other, and are really nice (Nice) to him and treat him like a normal kid (Normal). Like Justin "Yo, don't mess (messing) with Auggie." He said that because some kids (kids) were bullying him (Bullying) and he stuck up (Stick up) him. That's what real friends are even though he's older than Auggie. They all became used to him and became nice to him. Like this girl Maya that used to not talk to him and now is nice to
him. She gave Auggie a key-chain (Key-chain) that says 'to the nicest Auggie Doll (Doll) in the world.' (The world) So people are being nice (nice) to him which shows Auggie is being a wonder (wonder) because he can have so many people being nice (Nice) to him. That's accomplishment even without a different (Different)face. He’s also being really brave (Brave) for standing up for his friends. (Standing up) (9)

Auggie is a wonder because he can change (change) the way people feel and think about him.
"I am very pleased to award (award) The Henry Ward Beecher medal (medal) to the student whose
quiet strength (strength) has carried up to the most hearts. So will August
Pullman please come up here to receive this medal (medal)?"
 Auggie changed everyone's perspective (perspective) on him and how to judge (judge) people. I think it's a great accomplishment (accomplishment) for him to get through 5th grade and to have everyone friends (friends) with you and nice
to you. That's really brave (brave) to even try to go to 5th grade. His mom is really proud (proud) of him. 


"Thank you Auggie."

"For what?"

For everything you've given us," she said. "For coming into our lives (lives) , for being you." You really are a wonder (wonder), Auggie. You are a wonder."

Auggie is a real wonder (real wonder) because he changed the way his parents (parents) look at him and he
 changed the way everyone at school (school) thought about him. I think that's a huge accomplishment to change the way even you're parents (parents) look at you. Auggies mom
thinks that he's a wonder and so do I for being so brave to get through 5th
grade.  (11)


Now
as I think about it everyone is a wonder (wonder) no matter who they are.  Some people will feel pity (pity) towards Auggie, but
you shouldn’t feel pity towards the person (a person). You shouldn’t feel pity you should instead
think about how brave (Brave) they are and how you can be you just as brave. You can be
 a wonder no matter who you are just by being kind (kind). In my life there are so many
people changing (changing) other people’s life (life) and that’s what I think being a wonder is. “Courage doesn’t mean you don’t get afraid, (afraid) courage means you don’t let fear (fear) stop you.”

Today my group and I presented in Science. We are the Taiga Biome and we volunteered to go first when no one else wanted to go. I think we did pretty well but we all should've spoken up a little more. Today I also got my math placement and I'm happy about what I'm in becuase I got into Algebra 1 with x amount of points. I studied really hard to get that placement and my hard work has paid off so I'm really proud of myself.

Today I went to the BCS Blast and I saw Vivian and we hung out for about 2 hours. We got our nails done and we also got glitter tattoos, we also wanted to get tickets for the prize room. Now I never won the cake walk before but I did today I was in the first group and was the 2nd person called. I was number 50 and I got a box of 6 cupcakes. They were very yummy. Then I went to eat and I saw my dad severing in the café. I got nachos with cheese and chili but my dad gave me too much chili. Vivian was in the super duper long with me so I shared my nachos with her but then she had to leave to got eat somewhere else. Then I saw Zoe and we played more games along with her sisters Bella and Abby. We also saw Claire and hung out with her. At about 6:30 we went and cashed in our tickets and I got 114 and Zoe got 94 and Claire got 110. I got a nail kit and a beaded jewelry kit. Then I got a Pepsi and we all went into the gym for the last 30 minutes. I had a great time but sadly I had to leave at 7:30 which is when it ends, but some people stayed longer to help clean up. I hope I get to go next year.

Today after I rode the loud, busy bus I got off and saw a gray car-nope not mine. And I saw a nice black car that was clean and big. My moms car was red then I remembered that we were supposed to get new car so I looked closer. Yes, my mom was in the black car and I was confused because I thought we were still looking for which car to get. When I sat in the car it smelled like a new car, kind of like new shoes. It was very big and felt different from the old car, the old car was also much smaller and shorted. I'm really happy that we got a new car.

Yesterday my family and I were going to go to Chipotle for dinner because we thought it was a nice restaurant. When we went there was only 7 tables and a taco was $7. That's a lot of money for a taco and there was 10 people in the line so we left and went to Taco Bell. I think Taco Bell is good because they don't charge too much for their tacos and it tastes really good.
