What do you think is the most important lesson to learn from Number the Stars? I think that the most important lesson would be to always follow your heart and never give up because with the soldiers Annmarie and her family never gave up and then in 2 years the war was over.

 If you had advice for someone reading Number the Stars next year, what would it be?

I would say just to READ it because it is such a good book and definitely might be one of my favorite books that I have read.

Do you think that Number the Stars has anything to teach us about the protests going on right now? If so, what?

I think that it does have something to teach us because it is saying that even with the nazis back in world war 2 it is kinda like that because the people want their own rights and the nazis were kinda like that.

I made the wicked like “why should we have this because I think he really doesn’t care about anything I made the simple one just like “ok” because I think he always goes with the flow. Then I had the one who does not know how to ask Just with a question mark above his head. Then the smart one I thought he sorta was just like a know it all.

What are you doing during this time?

She is counseling people who are very worried about coronavirus.

How are you feeling about work?

She is glad that she is making a difference in the world.

What does her day look like when she goes to work? 

Instead of talking to people in person, she is talking to them on the phone.

What I had to sacrifice this week was not being able to see the play and go outside. To places that I wanted to go. But I knew I had to do it because it was for the greater good.  Now later on people can be better and go to places they want to be. So we could ALL be better. 

This should make Shabbat more special because it shows that you should be with your family and rest on Shabbat.  This also makes Shabbat special because if you are not happy on Shabbat then other people won’t be happy on Shabbat. And last, this should make Shabbat special because if we didn’t have Shabbat then we would always be working.

Shabbat Shalom!! 

We are learning about nonfiction text structures in ELA. Today we focused on Problem & Solution. After reading a problem and solution example, I wrote my own. Here it is:

One of the most common problems out there in the world is Physical activity. Most people don’t want to do this because they don’t have anything to motivate them. So here are a few solutions to fix this. One is to just keep saying I can do this because then you will keep going. Another way is to find someone that you want to be like and then when you want to stop exercising you look at them then you will keep going.

So try to exercise more and most important HAVE FUN!!

What about this project went well for you? Something that went well for me was being a leader in my group even though it was hard to be one at the time. One time I was a leader was when I set it the project up and made sure everyone was having fun.  Another example was when we were making our plan I added in my teammate’s ideas with my ideas.

What about this project went well for your group?  Something that went well for my group was everyone getting along and being happy in our group.  One example of when we were happy was when we finally, finally accomplished our task. To knock a piece of gelt into someone’s hand

What would you change if you did the project again? If I wanted to changed one thing about my Rube Goldberg I think that it would be to add one or two more things to our project because it was a little short. . The thing I would put into my project would be a lever and a screw somehow because I saw another group do it and I thought that it was cool.

What is one thing I am excited to plan for the experimental exodus?  I am excited to finish my skit that my partners and I are doing.

What has been challenging as I worked on this project? Something that has been challenging is making the skit short and making it flow smoothly.

What is my favorite part about the exodus story and why? My favorite part about the exodus story is the splitting of the sea. I like that part because it has some really interesting parts of it.

• How do you think your work so far has prepared you for this project? I think my work has prepared me for this project by making me know more info about chicken mummification.
•  
• What has been most helpful to you in this process? I think the thing that has been most helpful for me is comparing my chicken plan and talking to my teacher about it.
• How can Gev. Noorlander help you in the future work of this project? I think she can help me by checking that we understand what we are doing and why.
• How do you think working with a group will be helpful to you? I think working in a group will be helpful because we will have more info so we can understand the chicken mummification better.
• What do you feel most comfortable with this project? Why? I think the thing that I am most comfortable with is researching I think that because every time we researched I always did a really good time doing it.

Last week, we had the chance to give each other feedback on our tutorials. Based on the feedback I got, if I were to do this tutorial again this is what I would do differently.  One I would explain what the least common multiple is and what 18/15th’s is as a mixed number and how I got the mixed number. Last what is a denominator.

So here is what the answer to those questions are. One A least common multiple is the least number that can be multiplied with your denominators.  18/15th’s as a mixed number is 1 3/15th’s. I got that by saying 18 goes into 15 one time so 1 then when I subtract 18-15 it equals 3 so three then the denominator always stays the same so 1 3/15th’s.
