Thankful For a Classmate

The classmate I am thankful for is nobody because I am thankful for anyone in our class. I am thankful for every single person in my class because they all make our class fun and exciting. Every single one of them contributes to the class and make it into what it is. It is also because of everybody that I like this class and can pay attention, learn, and have fun at the same time. I am also especially thankful for Jaleel, Miles, and Sam because they help me a lot in class. When I can't see something clearly Miles tells me what it is and Jaleel lets me use his glasses to see. Also when we have the group work they all help to make the answers the best they can be and help me when I do not understand how to answer it or when I do not understand the question they explain it to me. I would also like to thank Mr. McCarthy because he is a great teacher to have and he makes the class interesting. He also makes jokes and keep the class lively and fun while also teaching us. He is a the best teacher to have for this class.

I am a Plow

I am a plow and so is everybody else. A plow is something that was used by farmers to help them loose up the soil to let them plant things. I say was because it had been really useful to farmers until the tractor came along and that help the farmers sow the field in less time and can sow more so the plow was considered useless because it wasn't as useful. We are like this too because we are helping people and the world in our own ways. We all help other people and make all the lives of all the people we helped easier. We are also helping the world because we are changing the future and making it better for the future generations to come. A plow also paves the way for the seeds to be planted and grown. We are all like this because we are creating our future by what we do. We are all changing our future by going to school when we do this we are learning things that we will use in the future in this way we are paving our way into our future and creating paths so we can reach our goals no matter what it is.

A Direction the Class Needs

The first quarter has ended and there has been negative and positive this about this class. The positive things about this class is that it was really fun. I liked how Mr. McCarthy is a really fun teacher. I liked the days when we had a vocabulary review and we spent the whole day review the vocabulary we learned. I also really like the silent reading days when we just read our book for the whole period. I also like the blogs and where we could write what we felt about the topic that week. Some negatives are that sometimes the blogs were a little hard to write and sometimes I forgot about them because I wasn't reminded that there was a blog that week. I think a good idea would to put the homework on Edline and maybe tell us what to write on the blogs. We should not be made to take notes on everything. Like our books, when reading I didn't really like it when I had to take notes because that got me distracted and I couldn't really get into the story. Also like the House of the Seven Gables, it was already hard enough trying to understand what they were talking about and actually get into the story without having to take notes about what I was reading.
