Religion Statement Response.

Moral actions positively contribute to a society. I agree with his statement, If you listen to the morals in stories, and apply them to real life, you will make other people happy. The morals that you are taught are meant to help you understand what to do, and what is right. If you listen to morals and use them, other people will notice the good that you do, and decide that they want to be like that to, and be happy and make others happy by righting their wrongs and such. Once the whole community is using the morals as guides, it will be a much happier place.

This I Believe

Amy Tan is a Chinese-American novelist. She believes that she can contact ghosts. She thinks this because after her mother died, she saw her moms face, magnified and sparkling smiling at her. She also says that she gets inspirations, and does not know where they come from. For instance, one time, before her mom died, Ms.Tan wrote a book about a woman who died. Her mom read it and said that that was just what had happened to her grandmother, except for that the questions of her grandmothers death were answered. I think that this is extremely interesting because that means that she could contact some ghosts. If I could contact ghosts I would be scared to stay alone, but Ms.Tan says that the ghosts bring her joy love and happiness, so I think that she is not scared. I was not really touched by this essay, but I thought that it was really cool because she described how her mom kept telling her to contact her grandmother but she could not, but when her mom died she could contact her. So all in all the belief in this essay was in ghosts.

My memories

I remember walking across the grey tar of the hospital parking lot when I was 2 1/2 years old holding my babysitter Angie's hand, in my other hand I clutched a bunch of brightly colored balloons, when we got to the room where my brother and mother were, I shreiked, YAY, I have a brother.
I remember walking into the classroom on the first day of kindergarten, I looked around, clutching my mothers hand, there were a lot of kids around me doing the same thing, a woman came up to us, hello, my name is Miss. Montanaro, I will be your teacher this year.
I remember playing in the attic when I was 4, I walked to the stairs took a step, and tumbled down the stairs, too shocked to cry out. I hit something soft.
I remember waking up stretching and running to my parents room when I was 5, no one was there, I looked around and saw my babysitter Courtney, I asked her where my mom and dad were, and she said, Johanna, you have a new baby sister.
I remember walking up to the airplane when I was 9, my sister was right behind me pulling her little polly pocket suitcase behind her, my brother trudged behind her, we stepped onto the plane, and we were off, to a land I had never even heard of before, Malaysia.
I remember answering the door, and seeing a dog walk in with it's owners, the dog was called Fredo, and he was ours now.
I remember when I was 6, I was dancing around the room to an ABBA CD wearing a pink sleeping beauty dress.
I remember when I was 3, and it was my third birthday, I was at the play centre, there were brightly colored toys all strewn around, and on the table, was a pile of presents and a cake covered in smarties.
I remember when I was 5, I walked up to the piano, and in front of the audience, began to play twinkle twinkle little star.
I remember when I was 6, dressing up as a nurse and my brother was the doctor, and we did a checkup with his doctor's kit on my frail, old grandparents.

THE END (of the year) IS NEAR

The end of the year is near, and this is a reflection of my year and what I am proud of. This year I would say that the piece of work that I am most proud of is my egyptian rap because after all of the effort we put into it it was fun and it sounded good and gave lots of information about egypt which is what it was supposed to be. Some of the greatest challenges were the amount of homework. Everyday I come home and I do my homework but this year there was so much that I just didn't want to do that anymore, so I ended up doing it when I was supposed to sleep and then it was bad quality. After a few days of that I decided to figure out a system to do my homework. It worked so now I have a system but it was definitely a challenge. Another challenge was stress. This year I have been more stressed out than any other time. I really don't know why, maybe it was homework or maybe it was something else.

This year something I have learned about myself as a learner is that I learn better when I have something in my hands to fiddle with so that I can concentrate better.

To evaluate my work habits I am going to evaluate myself

Behavior- Satisfactory, I think this is because sometimes I talk to much but usually I behave pretty well.

Participation- Actively participate in class. I think that I participate actively in class, for me actively participating is joining the activities, doing what I am expected and more, and listening to my teachers.

Organization- Needs serious help. I chose this one because I am very disorganized and I cannot seem to be neat. My writing my locker, all messy.

In grade seven, I plan to clean my locker at least once a week.

In grade seven I also plan to work harder and get better grades.

There are not really that many other things for you to know about me. My favorite activity this year was tic tac toe in trimester 1, it was a lot of fun and hard work. I wish we could have had more time on our city connections powerpoint, we only had one day for it and we all needed more time, we could have had better quality work if we had had a few more days. Some advice for new 6th graders is that you always do your homework as soon as you get it because otherwise it just piles up and you have to stay up late to do it.

My Favorite Book

This book made me think about ancient greece and ancient rome because that is basically what it is about. I thought about how even in this book greeks and romans were enemies, but if this is fantasy why do they have to be enemies? This book challenged me as a reader because it kept confusing me by changing the people who were telling the story, of course it told me when it changed the point of view but it still confused me a little bit because after a while you get used to one persons point of view then another person comes and you have to get used to it again. But after a while you get used to it. Don't read this book if you don't like things that are fantasy/mythology and you like your stories from only one person's point of view. You should not read this book if you don't like things with sort of elemental powers and I suggest you read the entire Percy Jackson series before this because this is a sort of sub series for it, if you like Percy Jackson you should read this and another series if you like this book is the Red Pyramid and the Throne of Fire which is about Egyptian gods. The second book of the Heroes of Olympus series is not out yet but it will be called Son of Neptune.
