shirschtritt's Learning Journey

Today we went to First Stage to see the play A Wrinkle in Time. I loved it. It was very fun. We also got front row seats. I think it was kind of like the movie. I liked that when they traveled to different planets they made it look like it was really happening like the background with the chairs and tables moving. I feel like they might have forgotten some scenes and also added  a couple of scenes like when they added the scene  with the elevator that went all ways. I can make a connection to that scene with Charlie and the Chocolate factory. In that the part where they break the building and go to the air in Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. I would really recommend the play movie and book to anyone!

My opinion for the Caste System is that it is terrifying. I do not think that it is fair. I do think that everyone should be equal  however their past looks like. The lower caste should be able to be whoever their mind tells them to be. I do not see why they are worth less than the higher caste. It is not fair that they are divided from who they are. It is not their choice for who they are. The lower caste lives in rundown shacks, but the higher caste gets to live in amazing buildings.  I think the caste system is the worst thing I have ever heard of in my life. I just can’t stop thinking about how much I do not like the Caste system. In conclusion I really do not think It should be still existing.

My one word goal is going really good. But there is still something that gets in my way of reaching it. That is my schedule. I have so many things to and I’m so busy that it gets in the way of helping and babysitting my brothers.But,  always when I have time I will try my best to do everything I can. I love my one word goal and I think that I am doing very very well. 

I find the schools in India most interesting because I think it is fun to compare school in India to the United states.  Some things that I have learned about India is that they go to school by biking wheeling wheelchairs, waiting for buses and more. They go to school with woven bags with heavy books. Sometimes they go in flip-flops and sometimes barefoot. Some kids even get to school by going it carts over big rivers. In India school is a gift and most kids enjoy school.    

Hi! You must have heard that Gev. Voras is not at school so in math we are creating a Fast food restaurant. My 2 partners are S Wallace and S Ishak. You may be wondering how is that math. Well we have a special blueprint paper that we can design our drafts on and we need to see how many people can fit inside your restaurant. It also teaches you how to use Area and Perimeter. We are Just finishing up our draft. 

Today I am going to tell you if I had a superpower what power would I have. Well If I had to choose on I would choose to be able to turn  into anyone I want whether it is a movie star or a famous athlete. It would make other people think I am the person even though I just look like the person. It would be like tricking the world! 

I am feeling really good about what I am learning in school. I think that I am really doing good on my writing and now I am actually finished and now I am on the revising stage. Also I think that I am starting to feel a lot more comfortable with my multiplication facts. And I feel that I have a growth mindset. I always help other people!
