How To Stay Productive During Winter Break

During winter break children usually watch TV all day and play on there phones. They also go on vacations to family and spend time with them. I personally love winter break to, too get a break from school and everything. Over break I would spent my time playing FIFA 18 and watching TV. To stay on track with learning over the winter break you should have a schedule. A schedule on making dates to read often or to date, when your going to do IXL’s. I will stay productive by having a schedule, to and to have to do it for a current amount of time everyday to get better and keep my brain on track. I’m wishing everyone a wonderful winter break and hoping you stay productive as a learner over break.

Incentive Day

This Thursday is the last day of school for us until winter break, and this Thursday we are having a incentive day. Incentive day is this time of fun in school and have broken up the school rooms to have it. In one of the incentive rooms there are movies like cars 3 and how the Grinch Stole Christmas, but we’re divided into to different rooms. Then comes the game room we’re they would have Xbox 360. After that there is the craft room where you can draw and do all kinds of artsy stuff. Next there was a chill/technology room were you get to go on your IPad or talk to friends. Lastly There is the open gym we’re you get to play around and everything, doing sports like volleyball and basketball. Out of all of those choices I picked open gym, because I’m a active person and like the idea of it. The open gym was around a hour long and a lot of people picked it, so they had the time split the time in  half . The first group would go in the Gym and the second would go in the MPR and would swi

Forgiveness

Forgiveness means to forgive someone when you passed the line. Forgiveness to me is asking someone to forgive me, if I did something bad to that person. When you forgive, you stop criticizing someone for doing something wrong. Sometimes it’s hard to forgive someone, and even if that person doesn’t apologize for what they did. You  can’t just give forgiveness, it needs to earned to be forgiven. You also have to think about what that other person did in order to forgive another person. I would say myself forgiving someone is not the easiest thing to do. Your making your own decision to be cool again with that person that you’re not being ok with that person. That’s what forgiveness is and is a decision for you to say yes or no to, also to forgive no matter what and not to regret it.

Honesty

Honesty means to tell the truth and that you don’t lie. Honesty to me is someone that I can tell the truth to and be an honest person to me. It’s good to be honest it’s also a way of gaining trust. Sometimes it is bad to be honest. Like if you did something bad, but you still have to be honest about it. You always have to be honest still because it could be worse if you lie. There is also a saying that states “ Honesty is the best policy”. There is also another side if your not honest to someone. Say if your not honest you can regret it and still have to come clean. It’s kinda like an award when your honest you feel good about yourself and just let out what you were gonna say. Also if your not honest to another person, that person can change there point of view of you. That’s why honesty is a great thing and should not be dishonest.

Map Testing

This week at school we were taking map testing. It’s a way to evaluate how good you are in Math,Reading,and Language Arts. On the first Map Test I took math,and I went five points higher. In reading I decreased one point, sense I got such a high score in the beginning of the year. In language arts I went up four points, from starting at a low score at the beginning of the year. All of the students had to go up on at least two test, out of three, or else if you didn’t you would be put in a room before break to review your test scores. For the people who did go up on at least two of there test would go in a fun room, that I would be apart of sense I got higher on at least two test. It’s also good that you should set goals for your self to improve. I like how I increased to, to also reach my standards and the teachers exceptions.

Slice Of Life

Every year Me and my family go to the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival Parade. Every year when we go it is always so cold. The parade is basically during the weekend before thanksgiving and features a Christmas theme for the holidays. During the parade I would always want a souvenir of what ever one float was giving out. The only thing that I had gotten was this bag of popcorn that people were throwing out. As the parade was happening my mom and I saw a bunch of people with Starbucks, and were a big fan of it. So we followed were people we’re coming out with there Starbucks coffee because it was like zero degrees out. People were coming out of this building, so we went in and there actually was one in the corner a tiny one. Once we had gone in I already knew what I wanted to get, and got a Java Frapachino. I still got it even though it was super cold out, and my mom got hot chocolate for herself, my dad, and my sister. We got back out there in the freezing cold and started watching the
