Today we had Charger Trails. The Taygers team was successful and completed all our challenges. I was a good team member because I listed to ideas and encouraged my team members. I was a good leader because I came up with new ideas and sometimes took charge. I think that I was a good leader and a good team member during Charger Trails today.

My Favorite Seedfolks Character
My favorite character in Seedfolkes is Tío Juan. There are many reasons that Tío Juan is my favorite character. One reason that my favorite character is Tío Juan because he has the ability to communicate without speaking a language that other people understand. My second reason is that Tío Juan is a great gardener. My final reason is that Tío Juan can adapt to life in America quickly. I relate to Tío Juan because he gardens a lot and I garden a lot. These are several reasons that Tío Juan is my favorite character in Seedfolks.
The Place I Would Want to Travel
If I had the chance to I would visit Germany. If I went to Germany I would watch a FC Bayern Munich game and watch the German national soccer team play. I would learn about the German culture and try some German food. I would go during the winter time to enjoy the festivities and many other celebrations that happen during this time of year. These reasons and many others are my reasons why I would like to go to Germany.
