'I Wonder'

Human Purpose

I wonder

why we are here.

I wonder

why we aren’t somewhere else.

Do we eat

for a purpose,

or do we just eat.

Do we cry

for someone

or do we cry for feelings.

Have we

a purpose,

or were,

we just made.

Do we have yet,

to prove,

or have we proven.

When

will we perish.

When

will we fall.

I wonder how we have to live.

Where are,

the borders.

Where is,

the middle.

Who,

Are we?

Why,

Are we here?

I'm last of the best, and last of the worst.
Who am I?

Inside Outside Poem

I/O:

Alex Danielson

By: Alex Danielson

Like a rose, but not a rose

blooming since the past.

True colors,

are beautiful.

Ten years of Blond and blue and peach

Ten years of building kicks and punches

Ten years of running, running, playing.

Ten years of excitement and sorrow.

Ten years of accomplishments and failure.

Ten years of proving myself.

Ten years of heartbeats.

Ten years of broken hearts

Ten years of friendship closer than usual.

Ten years thinking of competition.

Ten years of maturity

Ten years growing.

Nine years of talking.

Ten years, of LIFE

and many more years to come...

Today is a Memorable Day!

Today, I am going to say the Patrick Henry Speech in front of the Intermediate School! After I won out of the class, for the most voice expression and pace, and body language! Han, Solina, and Elizabeth will also do it.

Semester Post

That right! Semester One finished! Its Christmas! This semester was great with Mr.Buxton!

My past couple of projects.
1. My Persuasive animoto on maids!
2. My Patriot Animoto!
3.My Winner Patrick Henry Speech
Goal Review:
1. Doing good, I am critiquing, and keeping up my book club.
2. I have definitely finished that goal. Now, I never shout out, and make good choices.
3. I have completed my chart, and now I don't get so frustrated.
4. My desk is not completely clean, but clean.
I think I have really thought about these goals, and improved them.
Awards: Student, and blogger of the week.
Homework turn-in. The only thing I failed at turning in before the deadline, was  a persuasive essay. Everything else was turned in at the right time.
Achievements: Winning the Patrick Henry. Student of the week. Blogger of the week. 3rd in the first 
 quarters competition. Math, RLA, and Social Studies tests complete. Good thinking. Good report card. Showing leadership in group projects. Winning three Sammy Snakes. Doing great in book club.
Compassion: I once gave away my weekly plus points. Also, during the Subway party, I gave my Snapple to someone that did not have one. Also, I gave away my only cookie. One remarkable thing that I did was buy a shirt for Scott, and made a speech.
Friendship: Right now, my really good friends are: Zachary, Eric, Zach, Avery, Tuscan, and Ben. I think that I am a good and compassionate friend to others.
Classes: In RLA, we have recently done historical fiction, prepositional phrases, and persuasive writing. In math, we have done fractions.In science, mixtures and solutions. In social studies, slavery.
