I think Tommy and I did well on our Travel Blog.  I think we did well because we included everything that happened today and we were sure to make it detailed.

I think that our group did well on this video.  First of all, we were able to explain everything!  Not just one thing, but all of it.  Also, with props and news voices, we were able to have a great time, which is really important.

I think our group did well on this project.  We showed (in the video) big important parts that happened in the Oregon Trail.  We had a really fun time when we acted out our wagon sinking in the river, which was good.

My longest food chain was Hawk eats Fence Lizard, Fence lizard eats Beetle, Beetle eats Caterpillar, and Caterpillar eats Dead Leaves.

This button will show more of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Dustaina.

Imagine if the world were a village.  A village of a 100 people.  There are many things you do not realize that can occur in this village.  For example, in 2150, there will be too many people living in the village.  100 is the max, which means the world will be too small for all of us to live in and it surprises me because I never thought of our own world being too small to fit all the people in it!  This book talks a lot about things going around the world that we don't even realize.  It  takes the perspective of a world as 100 people and uses that as a way of counting people for religion, water we get, what we speak, and many more.  I think most of these are SUPER important to the world and the future.  A great example for this is that 62 people have access to have a place to put waste and garbage.  However, 38 do not, which can cause diseases and that upsets me because we all NEED somewhere to do this.  That is a good example because it describes how important the future is.  If we don't find a way to fix all the problems the book states, then our future could be in trouble.  Speaking of trouble, another problem we need to fix is that 87 people have access to safe water.  But, 13 do not and I wish this wasn't a problem because it is so important to get access to this or you could die.  Luckily, we can help because company's run charities that we can help to help end this!.  We need everyone to get safe, clean water and they should be able to get it easily.  I think that diseases are really important to consider, like when I talked about the waste not having a place to go to.  Another thing the book states about diseases is that ​68 people breath clean air.  32 people do not get good, clean which can cause diseases for people.  I think this book is a great example of how we need to take care of our planet because it gives you the perspective of a world of 100 people which makes you realize and consider problems that we face and will face in the future.

Some of my GLOWS so far this year in writing include:

• Using punctuation in my writing to get good sentences and no run-ons. 
• Using voice in my piece.  I can translate into a different perspective.

Some of my GROWS so far this year in writing include:

• I need to make my sentences more descriptive.
• When I proofread, I shouldn't be finding SO many things to correct.

Notes on our conversation/Things I learned:

• It takes about 6 hours to make a Write Steps video and the timing is very hard.
• Mrs V. loves to write special things down to remember.
• R.A.C.E. was a thing until Write Steps added S. for summary.
• They love writing, it's their passion.

My contribution to the discussion:
I asked a lot questions and even answered some!  Here are some questions I've asked:

• Did you come up with R.A.C.E.S?
• Do you talk about different perspectives ever?

Here are some things I anserwed:

• I have a glow to use punctuation and to use voice.

My Student Led Conference slideshow is about my goals, my learning, and some of the amazing activities we did.  It shows how I developed and learned new skills in Passion Time, Lit Circles, and being the Evaluator for my job.  The slideshow even explains the Marble Theory.  In the first trimester I feel that I have grown to reach new abilities and now I can do them as a normal routine in class.  In my slideshow, you can see how I have started to contribute to a Student Led classroom environment.  When I showed my parents my presentation I showed each slide and explained how each piece works in the classroom.  I also showed them my goals, my jobs, and my favorite work examples.  My parents were very proud of my hard work and growth mindset.  They also told me to keep working on my focus because the next trimester will be even more challenging!

My brother made me feel better when the weekend was ending.  I was feeling sad because I didn't get to hangout with him.  He had homework and had to practice guitar and right when we started thinking of things to do we had to go to a family birthday party.  I was sad I couldn't see him and he made me feel better by saying, "I'll see you a bunch on Thanksgiving break, don't worry."  I started feeling better and had a fun time at the party.
