Learnstorm

Learning to get better at reading comprehension would make my life better because I would understand more about what I’m reading. Learning Hebrew would make my life more interesting because then I would know what they are saying at services.

My fixed mindset name is Basketball Benny. Some situations when my fixed mindset shows up are when I’m reading. When I hear my fixed mindset voice I will tell myself just keep trying. When I hear my fixed mindset voice I will tell myself everyone struggles.

A mistake I made recently even though I tried my best was in a really hard math problem. After I made the mistake, I fixed it. My reaction of myself helped me to remember to try again so, I told myself to try again.

I get frustrated from when I have to do work for a long time. Frustration is important because then you can push yourself to keep trying. What will you say to yourself to remember getting frustrated is good for you? I will say it is okay. Frustration is good for you. When I get frustrated I will take a break and I will take deep breaths. I will ask the teacher for help when I get stuck on something.

I want to achieve my goal because I will feel proud. If I achieve my goal I will feel proud. I want to achieve my goal but, I know I will have to be strong when it gets hard. I want to achieve my goal but, I know nothing will get in the way. To conquer the obstacle I will have to try hard. The top three things I learned are do your best, your brain always gets stronger, and frustration is good for you.

Student Rights

I think student rights are very important and some of the things I agree or disagree with. There are so many student rights rules. Teachers can check your bag when ever they think it is a good reason to, I don’t agree with that because you could have private things in your bag. You can’t curse at your teacher, I agree because it is really mean to do that. You cannot copy off something from the internet, I agree because you are using their work that they did. Public schools can’t stop students from saying opinions, I agree because it is their thoughts. You can get in big trouble even on field trips by your teacher, I agree because then you could do all bad things. The government can’t prevent you from doing a speech I agree. Those are some of the important student rights rules.

Colonial America

In the passage Colonial America it explains about living in Colonial America. Tribes traded with other tribes. People were slaves. They came because they were hoping to get rich, after hearing stories from the Spanish explorers finding gold in South America, but the harsh environment of the New World nearly killed them. People who live in Colonial America were a diverse group with different perspectives, ideals, and values really not so different from us today.
