What a great day today! Our soapstone is really coming along and we are learning to be more focussed in order to meet all expectations, including clean-up. POST: Today we read our final precept in Wonder. What is your precept of choice at this point? I have given everyone feedback on their point form notes for our endangered species projects and reviewed the expectations. Be sure you follow the guidelines, especially when copying the links of sources you use right beside the notes you take. Homework:
Write your reflection for today's soapstone in your reflection book: what was easy? what was challenging? Why was it easy and difficult? How did you or are you going to overcome your challenges? What are your next steps going to be? Edit and publish this to your Fresh grade page under Soapstone comments. Science: Finish all point form notes and decide which representation you will use. Monday you will begin your published work. French: due Wednesday Clay Mask Workshop notices due on Monday. We are very short drivers so please ask your parents if they can help us out.

My favourite precept is " When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind." I like this precept because it is very meaningful and deep it also has a deep connection to what most people think of Auggie when they first meet him.

The precept I choose is "It's better to know some of the questions, than to know all of the answers." I like this precept because there is just something about it that connects to most of Auggie's problems.

Follow the day and reach for the sun is my favourite precept because I think everyone can have a different view on this, and it's pretty meaningful.

I like the precept "Prepare for the worst, expect the best, and take what comes." I like this precept because it basically gives you a lecture on what to do for life. For me, it would be prepare for a power outage, expect a new videogame.

"Kind word do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much." I feel like this precept is important. When the boys stood up for Auggie and Julian when they were dealing with the seventh graders. They were kind because they weren't really nice to Auggie before but that changed and they were known by many people at school now. See you guys on Monday!

"Everybody in the world should get a standing ovation at least once in their life because we all overcome the world" I think this is true and very powerful because it gives us a message to be courageous and brave just like how Via went on stage and did that wonderful play and how Auggie stood up for Jack despite what might have happened to him.

My favourite precept would be “Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much”. I like that one because I like the meaning of it and I think it's meaningful.

My favourite precept is "In the end we always go back to the people that were there in the beginning." I like this because it also relates to Auggie in the way that he went back to Jack-Will even after he said those horrible horrible things about him. I also really like this quote because it makes you think about all of those special people who were there at the beginning, even though some may not have made it to this point with you. Have an amazing night everyone! :)

The Boss, I have not yet heard back from you on my notes in class, also, my precept is ' just follow the day and reach out for the sun.' I like this because Auggie is very strong and brave and he doesnt care what others think, he cant live with people telling him who he is for the rest of his life, because he will just live in pain, instead, he pushes back the bullies and say ' this is who I am, nothing will change that.'

"Don't judge a boy by his face." this is the prescept I chose. Auggie is really nice boy and I think if people don't judge him by his face, his perfect. The book tells me exactly how Auggie feels and people think about him because of his face.

Flaming Bolt - your feedback was given in class when I went around and spoke to you individually while you were working. I said to many students to find out exactly where this is happening in Canada. You are organizing your information as directed, however, you only have the bare minimum and you could find more content on characteristics eg. how they behave, physical description and their way of life.

My precept is "No man is an island, entire of itself." It represents how the Jack, Henry, and the rest stood up for him. Working as a team. And says that we need help sometimes, and should not be afraid to admit because were all one. An island has many qualities and things supporting and Auggies friends are whats supporting Auggie. See you guys tommorow!
