Lady or Tiger? || 🐅

Ending ♡ By: Summer ♡

 

The youth stood feeling the longing eyes of the kingdom. His hands trembled and he started to wonder the princess’s intentions for him. Does she with death upon him, or does she wish life for him, but life with another?

 He started to sweat from the thought, he turned back to the princess, looking for a slight smile or sign of good, but as he turned back, out of the corner of his eye he thought he saw her look down and smirk. He started to question himself. The shouts and screams of the crowd were only getting louder and the youth needed to make a decision. This would only ever work if he trusted the princess.

 He trusted the princess…right? The crowd started to throw various objects at him, trying to push him to make the decision. The youth started to drag himself to the right door. Both hands clasped the squeaking door knob and the youth very slowly and shakily turned the knob, there was no turning back now. The crowd fell silent. Everyone sighed and got up and left. The crowd couldn’t help feeling guilty for the knights who would have to clean up the body.

 The princess immediately got up after the door. Her father, the king, tried to grab her arm and started to mumble out a halfhearted apology about her lover dying. She ran away as quickly as possible heading in the direction of the forest. She knew that the cleanup process could take hours and her father would have to stay around to order the knights. The princess’s plan was finally working, she would finally get to run away, and she didn’t care who had to suffer for her plan to work.

Stocks Reflection!

Posted on by 27summerw

This year My class got to try out stocks!

I ended up losing $20,751

I have never ever tried stocks before, and I’m really happy I tried. It obviously didn’t go that well, I lost more than I even put in! It was really fun for me to try out. If I ever try stocks again then I know what mistakes I made, and what to do, and not to do next time! I also thought this was really interesting because we got to do it because a character in the book we were reading was really interested in stocks, so we got to try a hobby of a book character!

Thank you for reading!

 

Ted Talk Review! 💬 || ♡

Posted on by 27summerw

Hello! Today I wanted to talk about the recent project my class has been individually working in. We started our TED Talks! By “TED Talks” I mean just oral presentations to the class about whatever we are passionate/wanting to teach the class about. I chose to teach the class about “Expressing Emotions” I chose this topic of discussion because everyone has emotions, it’s just up to you to be able to use them in healthy ways. I have never liked public speaking and it has always been hard for me, so when this project was announced I was really worried and I feared having to do my presentation. After I figured out a topic that would be fun to teach, it was a whole lot smoother. When I got up to do my talk I was really worried, but then I remember that the people that I am presenting to are all people who I know and aren’t embarrassed or scared to be around. Also I went last so I had already seen everyone do theirs, that had all been brave to go, and now it was my turn. I ended up having a really great time while I was presenting and I hope other people liked it too!

Our Tree Books!🌲 || ♡

On March 15th me, and the entire 6th grade got to start working with Peg Gignoux!  Peg is a local artist, and she helped us create all of our tree books!  I am so happy that we got to work with her because I got to try lots of different art techniques, and I even got to be in an art gallery!

We first started out by screen printing, we got our hands on some poems about trees, and we screen printed them onto different paper.  I had the best time doing this and it was really satisfying for me! After that we got to the actual folding part of our books, this was a bit harder, but it pretty much created the entire foundation of the book! Akua ink was by far my favorite part of the process, we gathered greenery and flowers from school or our houses, and then we were able to get them on paper with lots of pretty colors!! Then we started collaging, this was fun because I got to take lots of the images from the dictionary and put them on my tree book, I have spiders, trees, dogs, farm animals, and birds all over my book from collaging! Before anything else, we added some pockets for our writing pieces! After we had done this our books all looked really pretty, and we started the writing part. I wrote my ‘Salute to my Roots’ writing next, I wrote about my former nanny, Hillary. I had a great time writing this because I knew that I would be able to use memories in my writing. After that we started by reading a poem called “When this is Over” I loved having an example and I wrote my own poem about what I would do when the pandemic is over!! Then we wrote our wishes, I have a lot and I wrote them all down, and tucked them away in the pockets of my tree book. Last, but not least, we have started reading the book “Wishtree” by Katherina Applegate, by the time I’ve posted it, we will have probably finished it!  I already love the book, and I am so excited to read more.

At the gallery I shared my Tree Book with my former nanny, my mom, my dad, and my brother; they all loved it! In conclusion, I had an amazing experience with this Tree Book!
