Central Idea : Our interactions with family and friends define and shape who we are as individuals.
Wonder Final Reflection
I wrote about how people in wonder shape other people in the book and how people in my life shape how i am
Auggie is who he is because of the people in his life. His parents influenced him by encouraging him to go to school. Summer influenced him to not be afraid of people seeing his face. Jack Will influenced him to be happy because Jack is always happy. He is probably shy because his parents are nervous about him going to school.
Julian is the way he is because of his parents. His parents are kind of rude to other people. An example is his mom photoshopped Auggie out of the school picture. Another example is that his dad was going to sue the school just because they didn't give the money back. His mom got mad at Mr. Tushman even though she knew that it was Julian. Julian was influenced by his grandma to be nice to Auggie because of her story.
I am influenced by the people in my life. I am funny because of my brother. He is always being funny that is how I became funny. I am a risk-taker because of my mom. She is always riding her bike when she could get hurt. I am competitive because of my coach Dave. He always wants to win.
Friendship
We had to write about friendship and what we understand about it
Some things I have learned about friendship is that it doesn’t last forever. Also, you have to commit to your friendship. If you don’t your friendship will fall apart with all your friends. To get a friend you could start to hang out with that person and they might start to like you and want to play with you.
Some of my friends are Alberto, Gerardo, Mylvin are from school. My friends from my football are Derek, David, Christian, Daniel, Eric and Kenny, Ian, Logan, Jax and Sal and more. These people are my friends because I like to hang out with them and I am around my football friends 4 days and my school friends 5 days. I am going to maintain my friendships by committing to them and hanging out with them. Some friends I might not be friends with because they are going to other middle schools but I will probably see them in high school. If I want to be friends with someone in the future I will invite them to my house or to the beach or some other thing nice.
One question I have is will my friends still be friends with me if they go to a different middle school will I see them again? Will they still be my friends?

First Narrative
A Sad Day
“Oh no,” trembled my mom. It was a regular Saturday morning, my whole family was eating happily a Sunrise Cafe. I could feel the cold silverware in my hands. I could taste the wonderful taste of pancakes. I could smell the warm smell of my hot chocolate when my mom said it, “Oh no.” She then told my brother, Ezra and I to go into the car. I thought to myself if she forgot her purse a home or something.
Then, we started driving home but we turned a different way. We turned on to a street that led to my grandma Beatrice’s house. I saw something red as we turned toward her house. I saw bright flashing lights also. I then yelled at the top of my lungs “FIRE TRUCK!!!” I looked at my mom but she did not look excited.
Next, I saw my mom get out of the car. She jogged into their one story house. I saw a green cart go into the house., The kind I saw when there was a crash on the street and some people got hurt in an accident. But I could tell it was something different. I could tell something was wrong.
After few minutes after my auntie Lori came and picked me up from her house. We went to Boomers and played some games and had lunch. Then we went to my other grandparent’s house where I stayed there until my dad picked me up and brought me home.
When the weekend passed it was Mmonday. I remember I wanted to go to my grandma Beatrice’s house but my mom told me something else. She told me that she was somewhere else right now and that I would see her later. So I was all like “ok.” But a few months later I finally discovered what had truly happened. My wonderful grandma Beatrice had passed away. Now I know that I should spend as much time as I can with my other grandparents because you never know when they could pass away.
Name Art
We wrote our names in cursive and then made a drawing out of it. Mine was an egg.
"Who we Are" Silhouette
We traced our head and asked other people for some words that describe us.
Final Reflection: I am caring because I care for my pets. I am principled because I know what is right and what is wrong. I show empathy because I understand how my friends feel. I show respect to my parents by listening to them. I sometimes show integrity by telling the truth.
