My favorite book that I have read this quarter is The Giver because of how time we spent on the book analyzing and going into depth with it. I feel like reading books more was my biggest improvement because I have been reading a lot more then last quarter. Something I accomplished since the new year that I’m proud of is eating a lot healthier and less junk food. In my book challenge I have read a total of 8 books this year so far and I’m going to read many more. The most challenging part of the second quarter for me was the literary thematic analysis and I overcame it by working on it bit by bit so I didn’t stress myself out working on it to much. One strategy that has benefited me in ELA is listening to music because it makes me less stress when doing work and helps me get it done faster. I have learned that the world that everyone in it is different in many ways, with all the different cultures in the world and problems. My research skills have improved by now be able to go to site w...

My book called Night is about a boy named Elie and his family and how there life gets changed drastically once the Germans reached their town, Elie and his family were forced to leave their town and everything behind them. They all were put on a train and when they arrived at there destination, it was Auschwitz. As they walked in the boy's were separated from the girls  and they had to change into suits and get to work. “And I did not know that in that place, at that moment, I was parting from my mother and Tzipora forever”. This is something I found interesting because that is such a big thing getting separated from your family and not seeing them for the rest of your life is just something that you couldn’t imagine. One thing I won’t forget in the future is how Elie will never forget the face of the SS solider that told him that he was in a concentration camp to work. Also how the air smells with all of the bodies bodies being burned, leaving the air quilts to be very bad. Now El...

Hi my name is Julian, I’m in 8th grade and this is my first blogpost of the year in my ELA class. I played for the varsity boys soccer team as the one sport I’ve done this year. Outside of school I play travel soccer, hang out with friends, and play video games. I also enjoy watching soccer and rooting for my favorite team Manchester United. I’ve also been apart of three slice of life challenges and have completed two out of three slice of life's. I’m also very determined when I put my mind to something and work hard to achieve whatever it is I want to succeed at.

One of my end of the year goals is to finish at least one more book for the year as the school year ends in a few weeks. I also want to go into seventh grade with having good grades at the end of the sixth grade school year. Some accomplishments I have made for sixth grade keeping my grades up to three’s and four’s and something I’m proud of. I’m also proud of reading five books and counting this year which is something that was a difficult task for me. One goal for seventh grade is not to get a foul which I have not got in sixth grade and hope to keep that up. I want to write lengthy pages for quick writes when we are needed to and focus on what the main purpose is on what we are writing. Something I’m also proud that I achieved in sixth grade was blogging everyday for the month of may and am throwing to do that next year. It’s been a good year this year and have archived many things and hope to achieve much more in the seventh grade.

My first positive of the week is about me and my MAP test which I am really happy about and am proud of myself. Thier is an incentive if you go up on at least two of the test which I barley did and that’s what I’m going to talk about. I went on the math test but didn’t on the reading and all the pressure was on the ELA test and I didn’t go up then I retook it and went up. My second positive of the week is my poetry and how many poems which is four and have been succeeding in my poetry. Im my poetry unit I have also been learning about rhyme schemes to help with my poetry skills and will keep going. My third positive of the week is just getting through this whole week and am really happy with MAP homework and other test with having to do so much. It just created a lot of stress this week and am glad that it is over and have achieved different thing and I’m happy. Thank you for letting me share this blog post with you guys and can’t wait to write more blog post for you guys.

This week thier is MAP testing and I am really sad and really want to go up on the test and have been practicing. If you go up on two test thier is a incentive and if you make growth from fall to spring thier is something extra you get. I have been getting nervous for this test and really want to do good and impress my parents at least need to do better. I was also thinking about what the incentive could be and wanted to know what it was and what it involved. I was also scared because this test goes in your records and everything for when you go to high school and that so the pressure was on. Well I can’t wait for this test that I have to test and will be pretty confident on what I get on the test. Thank you for letting me share this blog post with you guys and can’t wait to share more.
