Positives of the Week!

-
    A few days ago we did math MAP, I was really nervous because all the questions I was getting were really hard and I didn’t know the answer to any of them.  I didn’t finish in the two hours that we were given and I had to finish it in math, I was on the last question and I was really scared. I answered the last question and then I looked at my score, I was so happy. My heart soared at the sight of going up 15 points, I was at 250 and I was literally drawing smiley faces all over my work sheet. My week has been really good since that day and now I can only hope that the rest of my tests go as good as my math one.

7th Grade Introduction

-
Welcome to my blog!!! Of coarse this is not my first post, it’s actually my 83rd post (haha...) but I have ventured into 7th grade and we are required to write an intro for our blog!!! I guess I’m not really sure what to write now... Okay! So, hi! I’m Ava, what’s that you say?! You want to learn more about me?!?! Sure!!! Well, obviously you learned that I am in seventh grade and I have been blogging for a while now. I love writing, it’s a place that I can find comfort and I really enjoy it when people read what I have to say, now don’t think that just because I love to write means I’m “good” at it, I try to improve my writing and I wouldn’t say I’m “bad” so I’ll just let you decide if I’m worthy of your time. I really want to be a well known actor when I grow up and I want to make people happy based on what or how I act, do you ever watch a show and you get really sad to the point where you start crying or you get really happy that you start smiling wildly as you stare at your screen y...

WWII Nonfiction Reader Response

    I am a Star  by Inge Auerbacher is about a young, Jewish girl and her struggle to survive the Holocaust. To begin, Inge talks about the how the discrimination began in her town of Kippenheim when, “Some people began to say that Jews belonged to a different race and that Jews were racially inferior” (10). From this belief, many thing changes for the Jews including who could buy from them, deprivation of their German citizenship, where they could go, and what occupations they could have. Christians were forbidden to associate with the Jews, while some had no problem with this, others disobeyed and left food and saved important items for after the war. Inge then describes her experience as a child at the camp, “We slept on the floor or, if lucky, on straw-filled mattresses... The rooms were smelly and steamy in summer and freezing in winter... The most important words in our vocabulary were bread, potatoes, and soup ” (43). Inge also highlights the other conditions of t...

What I am Thankful for

-
       There are SO many thing that I have been blessed with in life and I could not be happier, sometimes I wish I had more but there are people that have less, I am really picky with the food I eat and I try to always remind myself there are people in other places that are actually  starving. I can’t believe how blessed I have been and I cant thank my friends and family enough, I have been blessed with many MANY friends and LOTS! Of family. I have a lot of cousins and aunts and uncles, I have also been blessed with a roof over my head and a meal on the table every night, to think that some people are homeless and they don’t get any food, it makes me sad. I also have nice parents who love me and take care of me and my siblings, those are just a few things that I am great full for and I could never imagine life without them.       Gratitude is so important becuase if you don’t show someone you care or you are great full for what they do then th...
