Today's Reflection:
Today was a good day. I had fun. We got to do really cool stuff. I can't wait for tomorrow.
Day 2-
Honesty: B
Narrative: Why?
Because I am honest most of the time but not always.
Creativity: A
Narrative: Why?
Because I am a very creative person and I express it in so many different ways.
Responsibility:
A
Narrative: Why?
Because I am very responsible when it comes to being on time, taking care of
things, and keeping up with school.
I Believe in…
I believe in the freedom of individual rights,
The success from doctors towards their patients,
The respect for animals,
The madness of people who seek revenge,
The leadership of kings,
Confidence, reliability, responsibility.
But how people believe some things are impossible is outrageous.
I believe in the wisdom of the youth,
I believe in the wealthy being loyal to great causes,
I believe in the
unfortunate being honest, self-controlled, having integrity, having faith.
And I believe in people who strive to do their best.
Today's reflection:
Today was a good day, too. We evaluated ourselves and wrote a poem. Tomorrow will be yet another good day.
Day 3-
Me
I am
Respect, Loyalty,
Creativity
I enjoy the plants
and animals the world bares.
Self-control is important
to me.
Honesty is important
to me.
Reliability is
important to me.
Politeness is a good
thing.
Lying is bad, but it
also save something or someone’s life.
Animal are becoming
endangered.
The plants are being
chopped down.
Their homes are being
destroyed.
This is me.
-Jordan
Today's Reflection:
Today was again, another good day. We went outside today to write what we believe in on the sidewalk. We listened to an essay. Then we wrote a poem about ourselves.
Day 4-
Someday…
Someday I will understand why Pluto isn’t a planet
anymore

Window of Life
Waddling over to the
frosty window of life
With layers and
layers of clothes made from fur
I open the window’s
eyes and see dedication
A little girl outside
my window making something
I couldn’t tell what
though
It was all a blur
Wiping the frost off
the window
I see it now
A snowman
Walking up my porch,
she asks for a carrot
I come and go back
and forth
Then she finally
speaks
“The nose goes north.”
“It is fifty degrees
out there.
Why don’t you come
in.”
“I can’t. I have to
finish.”
Sighing, I pull up a
chair to the window
And watch as she
makes her snowman
Hours
have passed and she’s still there
She was
almost done
She just
needed the head
Slowing
and carefully placing it on
And it
slipped between her hands
It was
ruined
The thing
she had been working so hard on
And for
what?
“Just
come inside.
You are
probably freezing.”
“I can’t
I have to do this.”
She was
so stubborn
“Why do
you have to?”
“Because
every year, I made a snowman with my dad but now he’s gone.”
“I’m
sorry, I didn’t know”
As she
looked away, she searched the snow for the carrot
I raced
to my kitchen and gave her another
Then she
started working on the head once again
By only
a few minutes, the head was on
It was
a beautiful snowman
The
perfectly lined up buttons
The
mittens even matched
I asked
her for a cup of hot chocolate and she said
“I
thought you’d never ask.
I was
so cold out there.
It was
like fifty degrees out there.”
Laughing,
I take her to the kitchen
