I think I was successful in most of my grades during the year. I think I could have gotten better grades in language arts.Academicaly, I learned a lot. Personally, I learned not to chew gum. Ha ha! There really isn't anything I would change in eighth grade. The advice I would give the future 7th graders is to keep up with your work and don't chew gum!

I think International Town was fun and really tiring. I learned that selling a bunch of slushies and sodas are a lot more tiring than it seems! I would make more time for the breaks because I had no time to get any activities done,(time goes by really fast!)I think getting to eat cookies and drinking sodas were the best part.

World history influences our lives by carving a path for our future. My guiding question was "How did Cleopatra live the last years of her life?" I learned that she was the last female Egyptian Pharaoh. The most interesting part for me was decorating my board. I found out that Cleopatra lived a more complicated life than I had originally thought before my research.
I learned about Greek culture, Japanese culture and a great deal of info about other places around the world. I thought it was really cool how some people brought food. I learned what type of food different places had.

I think that Seedfolks "big idea" is that anyone from anywhere can come together and grow a garden with each other. I really don’t like or dislike any characters right now. I planted tomatoes in Ms.Kosters’s class, painted rocks in Ms.Lubich's class, and made coke can flowers and butterflies in Mr.Howard's class. I liked painting rocks and making coke can flowers and butterflies the best, even though my flower ended up looking like it just came out of World War II—Ha Ha!

My topic is: How did Cleopatra live the last years of her life?I found out a little more about her than I knew before.I really didn't learn much more about her because I already knew a lot about her.I am really interested in Ancient Egypt history and leaders and all that other stuff,so that is how I knew a lot about her already.I think that my final project is going really well,it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I finished my board a long time ago, and my research paper. I still have a little way to go,but I think I'm going to be fine.

In the bamboo filled forest
against the trees on the damp soil
below the big leaves
around the corner near the berry bushes
around all the happy animals
in the cold pond
below the tall trees
with bamboo in its mouth
along the graveled path
in the great big China
without making a sound
with all the other pandas.

I thought that dissecting the chicken wing was fun even though I was the only one who did it in my group,and I thought it was fun pulling on the muscles to make the chicken wing move:)I think that it was worth while and it taught me how the muscles worked and that the chicken wing has much more detail to it than I thought.

A quote I really like is "Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend"
There was a girl
whose heart was as cold as ice
and there was a girl
who was super nice,
this super nice girl
went up to say hello
but all she got was
"buzz off"
and the girl was deterimined
to make her heart soft,
day after day
she kept showing her love
until one day
when the girl had no choice
but to give back the love.
