I’m back!! New grade new me! I’m in 6th grade now and so far I like it, the teachers are nice, I finally get to sit in the back of the bus and we’re the role models of the whole school.
In Language Arts we just finished up our dream boards. You probably know what it is but for those who don’t know, it is a thing that you put all your dreams for the future on like if you want to go to Paris then you put that on there. I put nine things on my dream board, the first thing that I put on it was that I wanted to paint/draw a big picture and hang it up. Then I put that I wanted to donate a good chunk of money to animal shelters and I also put that I wanted to visit every state of the U.S. at least once. Another thing that I put on it was that I wanted to be someone’s VERY VERY best friend, and that I wanted to be an artist and a teacher. Lastly I put that I wanted to be a really good volleyball player and that I wanted to visit somewhere in Europe.
Another thing that we did in Language Arts was something called Mindset Stances. The Mindset Stances are empathy, flexibility, persistence, resilience,and optimism. When I think about Mindset Stances I think the most important ones are empathy and flexibility. Flexibility is important because if you aren’t flexible then it’s harder for you to adapt to different things. For example, if you plan something but it goes off track and you aren’t that flexible then it can go off track even more. Empathy is also an important one because if someone if really sad or upset then you can help them because you can put yourself in their shoes.
I am a pretty honest person, sometimes funny, and if you are my friend, I can help you with almost all your problems because I have been through a lot. I try to do my best and I compliment people whenever they need it, and sometimes when they don’t. I like when my friends can be themselves around me, are honest, and are nice. I’m trying to improve my friendships with people and I’m also trying to improve the amount of talking that I do during class.
Well that’s what I’ve done so far in Language Arts and what has changed over the summer. Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
