Christmas break how to be productive

Over Christmas break I can be productive by I reading at least 20 minuets a day. This should be easy because at home if me and my brother want to use technology for more than 30 minutes we have to read for 20 more minutes. Since my brother and I love to use technology we will probably read 40 minuets to an hour a day.  Another way I can be productive over Christmas break is by practicing math facts with my brother.  This will keep my math facts sharp and also help my brother learn them.  Out of all the operations we will probably practice multiplication and division the most.

Incentive day

 Incentive day is a day where if you reached your goal on two or more MAP tests you would go to incentive day during the last hour of school.  During incentive day students choose what they want to do between tech room, open gym, or movie room.  If you do not reach your goal on two or more MAP tests you will go to a reflection room for a half-hour and reflect on what you can do to improve on your next MAP tests.  On my map test I went up in math, stayed the same in reading, and went down in writing. That means I did not reach my goal on two or more of my tests so I would’ve gone to the reflection.  Sadly throughout the day I was feeling very sick and at the end of the day right before the incentive I went home and I mist it.

Honesty

 Honesty is the character trait of being honest, truthful and fair.  My parents are raising me and my brother to be as honest as possible.  Our parents tell stories about people who aren’t honest and how they don’t want us to be like them.  An example of being honest was years ago when my family and I were on vacation in Wisconsin Dells. We stayed at a hotel that had in and outdoor water parks. In one of the indoor waterpark‘s there was a family raft waterslide. All of us decided that we wanted to go on it, halfway up the stairs my brother got scared so my brother and mom went back to the bottom and waited for us. Meanwhile me and my dad finished hiking the rest the stairs and at the top we saw the entrance to the long dark tube. We get in the raft and immediately I thought “I don’t think I want to do this.” My dad try’s convince me to do it but I still think different and then the guy lets us go he couldn’t hold on any longer, or at least that’s what my dad told me.  Years later my dad finally tells me he told the guy to let go of the raft for so I can experience the water slide.  It was a great time and I’m glad my dad was honest with me.

Forgiveness

 Forgiveness means to choose to forgive someone who has done wrong to you.  Having a brother were always forgiving each other for things we did wrong to each other.  This time when I for gave my brother was this morning when we found out he was sick. We were playing and he grabbed one of my toys and I said “HAY! Put that down, your sick!” My Brother apologized and I for gave him. It’s great to forgive and give second chances.

M.A.P. Testing

MAP testing was this past week and I’m glad it’s over. The tests were Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Math was on Tuesday and the test went well. I scored a 233 and my goal was a 232. Wednesday was language arts and I didn’t do well. I scored a 222 and my goal a 226. Thursday’s test was reading and I did better than language arts. I scored a 226 and my goal was a 226.

Slice of life

This weekend my family and I spent a lot of time at our church. Friday night we were there decorating the church for our Christmas event on Saturday. At the Christmas event our church had toys, clothes, and a turkey dinner for poor families can come and pick up presents for their kids and have a Christmas dinner. While the parents were “shopping “ , the kids were having fun in a bouncy house and other activities. It was a great time and a lot of parents were very thankful.

Superhero

 Today is a track meet and its supposed to rain all day.  When doing our cool down laps around the track a lighting bolt hits the track but doesn’t hurt anyone.  After the lightning bolt hit coach asks everyone if they’re OK and everyone says they’re fine including me. Everyone’s parents come to pick up their children  and they go home. Its the next day and were late for school so we pack up and get ready and I run out the door.  The late bell is about to ring but I make it just in time. When I get inside I think to myself how I get it here so fast?  Then that’s when I realized the lightingbolt that hit the track yesterday gave me super speed! That’s how I become Speed of Light.

A Funny Story

One Christmas when I was three and my brother was one my parents got us a small slide.  We were so excited to use it so my parents built it and put it in the living room. Since I am the oldest I went first.  I liked it so much I wanted to go again before my brother tried.  When my brother finally got a turn my dad helped my brother up the stairs and down the slide. I realized that the process took too long so I raced up the stairs and down the slide.  Then my brother got in front of me and he was going so slow.  That was enough waiting around for me so I pushed him down the slide.
