Write about a place you never wanted to leave.

Prompt: Write about a place you never wanted to leave.

Prompt Response: A place I never wanted to leave was Costa Rica. Me and my family lived there for around a month and a half during the Covid-19 pandemic. We had a lovely house on top of a cliff in the jungle. You could look off the cliff and see the ocean and beautiful rock structures. Every morning we would get woken up by screeching monkeys and tropical birds. Everything was so peaceful and life was slow-paced. The food was delicious and cheap as well. I loved going to the beach, swimming, boogie-boarding, and many other activities. We visited volcanos and went ziplining hundreds of feet above the jungle. I would love to have the opportunity to go back and experience this again. 

Summary: Today we continued working on our one-pagers, but since I have already finished mine, I am working on this post. We also learned about the new blog post format today, where we have to respond to a prompt given to us for the day. 

Reflection: I enjoyed working on the one-pager because I got to draw and use my art skills. I enjoyed reading the short story "Ambush" and liked looking for themes and deeper meanings in the text.

Now that you have completed your sensory presentation, reflect on which of the five senses you value most. Identify the sense and explain why it holds the greatest importance to you.

  Prompt Response:  Of the 5 senses, the one that I value the most is sight. Sight is the most important to me because it is the only one that you can't do anything about. For example, for hearing, you can learn sign language. You don't really need taste either. For smell, touch, and hearing, there are ways to live your life without them. However, if you don't have sight, you can not do anything about it. You need sight to truly experience life and the world. That is why sight is the most important to me. Summary: Today in class, we worked on a Commonlit assignment about the different types of friendship.  Reflection:  I enjoyed the lesson today because I was able to work independently and quickly.

Which time do you perfer the most and why, Daylight Savings Time or Standard Time?

  Prompt Response:  I prefer Daylight Savings Time. This is because it symbolizes that summer is getting closer, which is exciting. I also enjoy having a change in my routine that makes life a little more interesting for a little bit. I also enjoy having more daylight that lasts for longer. 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.

Choose one item from your "So Much Depends Upon" list and imagine it could talk. What story would it tell about you? Write from the item’s point of view.

Prompt Response:  If my Nintendo Switch could tell a story about me, it would probably talk about all the time I spent playing video games and bonding with family and friends:  "Jonah would spend hours on weekends playing Fortnite, Super Smash Bros, and Mario Kart with my family and friends. He loved the time he spent together making memories and growing friendships."  Summary: Today in class, we read a poem called "So Much Depends On..." and began a project about how the little things in our lives play big roles.  Reflection:  I thought the lesson today helped me recognize and feel more grateful for the objects I might take for granted.
