About a week ago, I had the weirdest dream ever. What happened was I walked into school,and everyone was stressing out about a strings test. It didn’t really surprise me because the next day I had a strings test. Although,I was confused because I knew that everyone doesn’t take strings, so I was confused why everyone was worried. I walked into Strings, and our teacher said “No one needs to take the test, everyone has received  a 100 in the grade book, except for the person that I will pull the name out of this hat”. And of course being my dream my name is the one she pulls out of the hat. I was walking up to her  to ask her why she was grading our class based off the luck of a hat, when all of  a sudden I woke up. I was so confused about what was happening, and until I had my test that day, I had a weird feeling that it might actually come true.

Hey! I was going to write one of these blog posts on Monday, but it was a holiday and I just forgot to. Well, that’s okay because I can do it right now. I am reading The Night She Disappeared by April Henry. It’s an extremely good book, it’s one of those books that you read the first page and the next time you realize you have finished about half of it. I read the first page and I wasn’t able to put it down. It’s about a girl; Kayla who disappears while she is delivering a box of pizza. And it’s really interesting because you get to read about it from different points of view, and since each character knows different things about the case. That’s what make this book impossible to put down. Let me know down below what you are reading!          

For the past 2 weeks , our English class has been focusing on Mission Statements. A mission statement is when a group of people come together and write their goal of their company ,organization, or individual. We first got into groups and wrote our own mission statements for the class. Then we all came together and wrote our class mission statement. I very much enjoyed writing our mission statements, because when we made our class mission statement everyone had a say in what they wanted to be put into the mission statement. We should have a class mission statement because, when we read it everyday it reminds us of our goal, and what we are striving to achieve in our English class. I think our new mission statement will help us stay more focused in our class, and remind us of our goal. I also enjoyed working in a group because we came up with many ways to make our mission statement better ,then it would be if I worked alone. Below you can find our class mission statement.

 

As block 3/7 strikes, we walk in with confidence.

Whenever we set goals, we never give up.

We shall guide our own path,

be it on paper or in the classroom.

Let’s explore and make mistakes, and

together we’ll become connected in friendship.

We embrace the opportunity of our education.

We are here because we have the freedom to learn.

In this creative class, we are allowed to be messy, different,

and make unique decisions!

We have the power to write our own story.

We can inspire others or express ourselves, because

WE MATTER!
