I never saw another butterfly

This is my thinglink butterfly tags project on the poem “I am a Jew” by Franta Bass. Franta Bass is a boy who lived during the holocaust and was murdered in the concentration camp Auschwitz. He mostly talks about how proud he is of his people and how he will never give up.

Life is Beautiful Movie Review

The movie overall was very interesting and really sad. The movie is about a man named Guido and a girl named Dora. They fell in  Something that surprised me was definitely the end of the movie. I have to say though if I was in Guido’s situation I would’ve not moved Giosue to the drawer/cabinet he was in because Guido ended up getting caught. I would’ve instead left Giosue under the bed because the guards would never look under the bed, so therefore he would’ve not gotten caught.

What Do Ya Say Wednesday : What Are You Most Excited For About 4th Quarter?

I’m mostly excited for all the school field trips😊 To start off im excited for Springfield because I get to sit with my friend on the bus and I think it’ll overall be very interesting and fun, but at the same time educational. I have also wanted to go to Springfield for the longest time and this year I’ll finally get to go! I’m also very excited about the boat cruise because I’ll get the chance to hang out with all my friends and we’ll get to dance, eat, etc. I also think it’s really cool how the whole dance and dinner is on a boat because when my older sister went to heritage they had the dinner dance at a venue and that was kind of what I was expecting but this year we get to go on a boat.

The Running Dream 🏃‍♀️

Recently I read the book “The Running Dream” written by Wendelin Van Draaen. The genre of the book is fiction! This book is about an 18 year old girl named Jessica who loses her leg in a tragic car accident. This story takes place mostly in school and Jessica’s house. She has a very supportive friend named Fiona. Jessica doesn’t like the fact that she’ll have to walk with a prosthetic leg because she thinks she’ll shell be stared at (in a bad way). Though the biggest reason is because she is a runner. She competes in races and has being for many years. She goes through rough stages in the book because she feels like she’ll never get her leg back again. Meanwhile she gets put in a wheel chair and makes another friend named Rosa, a sweet and nice girl with cerebral palsy that Jessica’s never really noticed, which is my favorite part. It’s my favorite part because she makes friends with a girl who never really talks in class and who seems shy but in the end she s really funny and talks a lot. Also because she was really helpful when Jessica was going through hard times. Finally, Jessica’s track team plan to raise money for Jessica to get a new leg. This leg though costs $20,000! Do you think her team will be able to raise that much money for her new leg? Read the book to find out!

Gracefully Grayson by Ami Polonsky (book blog)

I recently read the book Gracefully Grayson by Ami Polonsky and I would really recommend it! This book is about a boy named Grayson Sender whos been keeping a secret from his family and friends for what seems like the longest time. Except he doesn’t think as himself as a boy. He wants to be a girl but is afraid to show it because he thinks people will call him “gay” and “bully him”. He made a friend named Amelia who doesn’t know his secret. Grayson’s doesn’t have parents anymore so he has to live with his aunt and uncle. His aunt and uncle are very supportive of him and he knows it.  One day he decides to try out for the lead role in a play that’s happening at school. This was my favorite part because he was very confident for doing that even if people thought he was weird. The only thing is the role he tried out for was a girl. To find out if he got the role or not... read the book to find out!

My Perfect Future

My perfect future would look like being the owner of a bakery or restaurant. I really love cooking and baking and could never decide between the two of them. But if I got the chance to be either of those I would love it. ❤️ I like to cook and bake mostly for the fun of it and also because I love cooking for my family. 💁 I’ve been helping my mom cook and bake since I was 7 and ever since I’ve loved it! I plan on going to college after highschool to go into culinary classes to learn way more about cooking/baking than I know now. I know getting a restaurant or bakery can be hard but I hope that I never give up on my dream. I hope that when I’m older I achieve my dream. 😇

My One Word For 2018

The word I chose was Challenge. I chose this word because this year I want to challenge myself to be a new and better person. The word challenge to me means to try new things even when they might be hard and to motivate myself to do better. I want to challenge myself to not fight with my siblings since that is something I do a lot. I want to challenge myself to get even better grades than what I have now for quarter 2. I want to challenge myself to eat better and be more healthy. I want to challenge myself to be a good person now so I’ll be a better person in the future as well. I think this challenge really fits my personality and I think I’ll be able to accomplish all these goals.
