TUCK EVERLASTING


 * I think that I did very, very well. This was my best work yet. I think that the reading was good, I read slowly, and thought about what I read.**
 * The in class question were okay because sometimes I forgot it. But then i looked in the book. I Got most of the questions Right, and think that I did because of how good I read the book, I liked how we had to write things out of the stoplight. I like writing about what I think about the Fosters. i talked a lot in class about the book, because i had a lot of good ideas. The drawing that i did was okay, i put all the things that Mae cares about or things that tells us about who and what she looks like in her brain. The favorite part in the book was when she Stella us about the wood, i can feel how it looks, and that some thing can b different on the outside but sweet on the inside.**

I doing better than I was in the begninning of the year. I really like this book and I really think that there is a good lesson.** I think that I read slowly and thought about what I read. And I thought about it, some of the question were hard like the kinds of question were where you need to tell them why this was important and what this is about. I think that did a good job and had fun doing it this, is a really good book. I think that I did really well in some small groups and I think that I did okay in some other small group talks. I think that that I did really well on this book it is a great book and a good book to teach you on china.






 * I loved working on my this I believe because I love to lisson to what other people think about the things that they love and what they believe in becaue ii think that I was raised in a different way I was raised that you are your own person and that you should. Be a leaders not a follower and not to be impressed by anyone but yourself and that is what I go by and what I believe. That is why I love to find out what other people believe in I had fun working on my essay and I had fun writing it to, I also love dogs. I liked lissoning to the people and that they believe in different things in different ways and because of different things that lead them to believeing that. I had a lot of Fun working on this. It was really fun for me and I think hat this was my best project yet.**


 * I think that my best assignment was my edited blog comment because I put 100 precent in it and I worked very very very very hard to make it unique . I do not think that I could have made it better but I do think that I could have made my least successful assignment was my web I did not put 100precent I did not think that it was as good as my others I will work harder to make my work better in the next book we read.I will think about what happens in the book when I read it.**
 * I see a lot of progress in my work in my quizzes it makes me think about what happened and I helps me under stand it better. My best work is my essay because i had great ideas for it and i saw it in different ways.**

__//In Maniac Magee his mom and dad die in a trolly ride, so he goes to live with his aunt and uncle who hate each other. Maniac runs away not knowing where to go but that place where he can know that he is loved. I am writing about how I think Maniac Magee gets lost and found because I think that this is a very interesting topic to write about and inspires me to think and do my best work. You can be lost in many ways, you can be lost as in you mind and your heart, you can be lost as no knowing where you are. Here are some of the characters that found Maniac and then help him be lost again, his hateful aunt and uncle, the kind and loving Beales, the lonely Grayson, and the small Mcnab boys. Those were the people that help him get through life and teach him what life is all about. In the beginning Maniac has no heart and is lost with no hope.//__

__//In the middle of the book when Grayson died he left Grayson's house and ran to Vally Forge, he ate only to keep from starving, warmed him self only enough so that he would not freezing to his death, and ran because there was no reason to stop. He was lost in his mind and heart the most when he found the little house that was no bigger than a dog house with no door and a dirt floor he went in and laid down there he was really lost. When he was with the Mcnab boys a part of his heart was with the Beales and a other part of it was with Grayson a little part was with the Mcnabs I think that in the end the parts that was with Grayson and the Mcnabs faded. And the only part left was with the Beales and then his heart was full again. If he didn't find his heart he would not live with any one and he would not know what a family was like. When he was with any family his heart was found, it healed all the lost memories and the 8 years that he was with his aunt and uncle.//__

__//I think that he wanted a family and a place to live that he could call a home not just a house but thought that no one wanted him. Also that he really did want a place where he fit in. This relates to the book because if he was not lost or found he could be still living with his aunt and his uncle and it would be so sad to think of Maniac living with these small minded people, Maniac could have been raised much better in a normal life with people that loved him. I think that it was big part of the book it is some of the things that make up a good book and makes this book a great book to read. A other part of the book was when he was with the Beales and Amanda they were like two rocks in a stream.//__

__//I think that the end could have been much better because you knew that he was going to live with the Beales. And I the end I think that he could finally see the whites from the blacks and that not every one will like you. This book has a Great meaning to it because it should tell you about life and that family is important. You should read this book it is a great book to read at night and in the day it made me not want to stop and read a head, it gave a something to think about when I was done.//__


 * The next book I read was Julie of then Wolves.**

I think my best assignment was my letter because I put 110% in It and and I work very hard on it. I think it could not be made better unlike my web. My least successful was my web because I did not work hard on it and it was not the kind of thing that i like to do as a writer. I listened in the discussions and I was a good member of the group We worked hard with the causes and the effects and i understood it better after we worked more on it.. I did some my best work on most of the book project.I think most of it was my best work for me as a writer and it was one of the best things in the year. On the cause and the effect I liked how we made some of our own and how we looked in the book and put them on the ipods. we are were a great team we thought that we did our best work on most things an was our best sevles we thought about the books and worked hard to be better at all the things that we were not good at.=====

The first book we read in 5th grade was Island of the Blue D﻿olphins.
=== I think my best assignment was the 1st paragraph in the four paragraphs about Karana's friends. I read the chapter carefully and thought about what happened in the book. I put 100% in that first paragraph, but if I made it longer I think it could be better.My least successful was my 3rd and 4th paragraphs I could have made it better if i put in more facts, and i will try to make my next paragraph better by putting 100% in my work. I could have answered my questions better, I did not do my best work on the questions at all but i try the best i can. ===

Here is my best paragraphIt is my first paragraph of friendship.
=== Some friends fight, some friends laugh, but all friends take care of each other. Friendship is important. Without friendship you'll have no one to cheer you on, no one to tell your secrets to, and no one to value. Friendship makes me optimistic, and helps me live a better life. It help you be trustworthy and truthful. It is not all about you, it is all about you and your friends. ===
