 Absent

 Today we learned lots of new worlds from the vocabulary. Today was a good day we had to do an assignment where we had to define words and put a picture describing the word. I really liked that we worked independently and had time in class to do this. The only thing I did not like was that it was very hard for me to do the assignment without a Chromebook and on my phone. Overall today was a good day for me it was very calm and very nice.

 Today in class we were put in groups of four to work together as a team for a class assignment. I felt very comfortable with my group we read a story and immediately started working on each one’s part of the slides. We did finish the assignment on time and turned it in. Today was a good day at first I was nervous I was not going to find a group but at the end I was ok and finished my work on time and without any problems.

 Today during the class period I read The Great Turtle: Iroquois Origin story. I had to read the passage and answer questions to find out if I was understanding the story. This story was about the chief’s daughter becoming ill and someone tells them to lay her nest to a tree and dig up a hole and that is how she would be cured. But the tree fell through the hole and dragged the girl and fell down into the water. Two swans went to help her because she was too  beautiful to let her die. At the end of the story the animals end up making an island for the chief’s daughter and now it became the world’s island. This was a summary of the story I read from today’s assignment.

 My three goals this year are trying to be a lot faster writing to achieve a good grade on the EOC. I will achieve this by trying to practice this in class every time I have a chance. Another goal I have is trying not to miss class because I understand this is a core class and this a requirement for graduation. I will try to achieve this goal by coming to school and getting to class on time. My last goal is to have good grades in this class and I will try to achieve it by getting my work done in time and trying my best to not do any mistakes. I will try to complete my goals by the end of the year and will try to complete them as best as possible.
