Community and Friendship

 

Community and friendship is what makes a team, and today I think the Stereos made a pretty good team.

To have a good community, everyone has to do their best and help out. Nobody’s perfect, but everyone can try their hardest to do their best. Some people don’t like to try, but if people encourage them and help them out, you will have a successful community. I think the hardest challenge today was the Maze. You had to try a lot of different strategies to do the maze, and if you don’t work together, you won’t find your strategy. The Maze was a challenge where everyone had to help each other, and if we didn’t, we wouldn’t have got it.

If you want a community, you have to have friendship. Friendship was really important in the Hog Call challenge, because you had to trust each other, and trust is a part of friendship. We also had to be positive and not take it the wrong way when we didn’t get chosen for the matcher. We had to trust the matcher and let the matcher do the job. At first, everyone was trying to be the matcher and take over, but when we let the matcher do the job alone, we were successful. When we used community and friendship, we made a great team.

Seedfolks Paper- Leona’s Grandma

Leona’s grandmother is the definition of a great character. She has only been talked about for a couple pages, but I can already tell I like her. She is sassy, funny, creative, and smart. She kept all the obituaries of the doctors that she outlived, which I thought was hilarious. She does what she wants to do and speaks her mind, which are great traits most of the time, but can get you in trouble. She kept drinking her golden rod tea, even when the doctors told her to stop. She never took the pills the doctors told her too, and she proved them wrong. Leona’s grandma has a funny, interesting personality, and she’s a little crazy. Her personality is different from other personalities, and I really like it. She is like me in a couple ways. She is so sassy and funny and creative that I think it would be a lot of fun to be her friend if she was younger. She seems like the kind of person you would make a lot of great memories with. She really passed down her traits to her granddaughter Leona, and you could definitely tell when Leona brought the bag of trash to city hall. I think Leona really respects her grandma, thinks of her as a role model, and follows and her traits and ways.

Traveling to Cape Cod

Cape Cod Picture

If I could pick one place to visit, I would pick Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

I would really like to go there to visit one of my best friends, Emma, who is there on vacation all summer, because I haven’t seen her this summer and she is going to a different middle school. Another reason I would like to go there is because the beaches are beautiful, fun, and the water is cool, plus the weather is nice. My last reason is that I love beach life, so Cape Cod would be perfect for me and my family. I think I would love Cape Cod, and I hope I get to go there someday.
