Our team worked very well together. We listen to peoples opinions and encouraged each other to share their ideas. I think our team was successful as friends because we treated each other nicely. We took our time and brainstormed before all challenges. I think that me and my advisory group, grew as people and as friends.

My Favorite Character in Seedfolks
In the book seedfolks by Paul Fleischman, so far my favorite character is Leona’s grandma. I like her because I think that she is sassy. I think she is sassy, because in the book it tells us that she does not believe in doctors. When a doctor tries to help her she doesn’t listen and the doctor always dies before her. I think that she is also very funny, because after every doctor that tries to help her dies she keeps the obituary. One other thing that I like about her is that she does things her way. Something that I can relate to her is that I can be sassy and moody and funny at times. Personally I like when I and people do things my way. I also get things done. I think that Leona’s grandma is very funny and makes you laugh. She is a great character in seedfolks.
