Community and friendship

In the events we did today I feel I did pretty good. As we did each activity I tried to come up with new ideas and take from other peoples ideas. For Example in the maze if other people didn’t know where to go I would help and guide them. Or in the marble challenge I came up with new ideas and shared them. And when they gave me input and told me what to do I would listen. As a friend I did not yell or get mad at people when they didn’t do something correct. I also cheered on for people who discovered something new. Also on hogcall I collaborated with people With hand gestures to see if we match up.

Seedfolks Leona writing

Leona is my favorite character . One thing that I like about her is that she is a strong independent person. And she takes charge if something is not right. For example since there was so much trash in the vacant lot she tried to do something about it. She also is very clever. For example when she went to address the situation with all the trash she brought a sample to show them how bad it was. She also is handling all the tragedies that have happened to her very well.
