 Today we read a story called “The Jealous Father.” I thought it was very interesting and didn’t really expect the magic that was involved in it because I didn’t think that Native Americans believed in magic or spell and stuff similar to that. After we finished reading the story we began a group project bested on the story. My group’s topic was about the resolution of the conflict. I enjoyed working on this project and drawing a storyboard for the PowerPoint. I learned that the Native Americans told stories involving magic and spells, which I was unaware of. I now know that they had much broader beliefs that were different from the stereotypes that I knew. I enjoyed this lesson because the story was interesting and I liked working as a group with others. My day has been pretty good so far. I had pancakes for breakfast which are some of my favorite food. I have baseball practice tonight as well as lots of homework to do.

This can lead to depression and many other bad things such as hurting relationships. That is why that conversation changed me.  Summary:  In today's class we worked on an assignment over the Lesson 7 vocabulary words. We defined the words, wrote some synonyms and antonyms, as well as filled in sentences using the vocab words.  Reflection: I enjoyed this class because it was fairly simple so I was able to finish quickly. Because I finished early I was able to do make-up work with the remaining time.

That is why I prefer Daylight Savings Time over Standard Time.  Summary: Today was a virtual day, so I worked on the NEWSELA assignment on Daylight Savings Time.  Reflection:  I enjoyed reading the article and learning about the reason and history behind Daylight Savings Time. I also thought that the questions weren't that difficult, but they still offered a challenge.
