I am poems While reading Wonder today, we reviewed setting by writing down some concrete examples. Then we discussed some of Auggie's character traits. In your reading exercise books, you are to record your main character's traits. Refer to your definition and examples that we did today. Mr. Browne's precept for October was: YOUR DEEDS ARE YOUR MONUMENTS. August then wrote an excellent response about what it means. This precept means that we should be remembered for the things we do. The things we do are the most important things of all. They are more important than what we say or what we look like. The things we do outlast our mortality. The things we do are like monuments that people build to honour heroes after they've died. They're like the pyramids that the Egyptians built to honour the pharaohs. Only instead of being made out of stone, they're made out of the memories people have of you. That's why your deeds are like your monuments. Built with memories instead of with stone. POST: On October 7th, you posted your own precept. (go back to the class site if you forget it) Using the precept you chose, write a paragraph (topic sentence, 3 details and concluding sentence) about what your thoughts, big ideas, the meaning, and feelings are about your precept. Check for basic spelling and punctuation before posting. There will not be a post tomorrow because I am away at We Day. So you have two days to complete this. All students have this plan to follow tomorrow and you have written the name of the teacher who will be supervising you. You should not be in our classroom for any reason as you have all your necessary books and supplies. Homework/Reminders:
See tomorrow's plan for what is due Reading exercise books with examples of setting and character traits from your novel Socials: you will write a final reflection on Thurs. and have your final debate French calendar due Thursday Interims - some still due Water Polo - we still need rides (ask parents if they don't know because it is too early or if they are sure they cannot drive as we will have to cancel if we don't have enough rides.

The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday. Everyday is an opportunity to challenge yourself and try new things. Yesterday is like feedback, all the things you want to improve on, have the effort and push yourself. Don't compare yourself to others, instead look at the person you were yesterday. Lastly, have the willingness to try harder and challenge yourself everyday.

My precept is "If you see something one time, that's better than listen hundred times." I thing it mean voice and sound can be fake. But if you see that thing, you can trust your eyes. Different meaning is if you see, you can understand easier than when you listen. I don't know who said this, but it's correct except sometimes.

"Be your self; everyone else is already taken" what doe's this quote mean to me? This quote/precept means to me that you shouldn't ever change who you are just to impress or make others jealous of you; that you should always be true to yourself and be who you are because you can not because you have too. This also means to me that your perfect because your you and because your you your perfect. This shows me that to achieve your full potential you have to be you.

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Dr.Seuss. I chose this precept because it represents a lesson my parents and family teach me often. It means always be yourself because people like you for who YOU are and those who mind who you are, don't need to be in your life. Always surround yourself with people who matter to you, as those are the ones who bring positivity to you. This quote continues to inspire me everyday and my family keeps this quote very close in life for it is something that matters.

there are tons of reasons why being yourself is important but I'm only going to list a few. It is important to be yourself from the inside and the out. When you really know yourself, you are actually more likely to experience a more rewarding life. Without knowing yourself, you can easily be pushed into a path of dirt. you have a option of taking a large and easy path or a quite narrow path. you can either approve what life wants you to be or try to be something/ someone else. Being yourself is about knowing what you believe in and values that you live by. When you are not yourself, you are taking values and believes that aren't yours. It's the same with copying someone else's style. My last reason for now is when you are supporting who you are, you are beginning to realize who you are, realizing your true identity. And those are reasons why you should be yourself, i took these off of this website but i put in my own words. here is the link http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/5-reasons-why-you-should-always-yourself.html

My precept was "You can mimic the result, but not the creativity." Being your own person is better than than mimicing others.

My precept was "Be the change you wan't to see in the world". Be the leader you wan't others to be. Show them what can make the world a better place. How to choose the good things over the bad thing. You say you wan't to make a difference? Change yourself first.

"Even if you wake up feeling bad make it your mission to be nice" is my precept. I tells people that you will be frustrated at times or start a day off in a bad way. If you do don't spread that frustration to other people. I live by this daily because if I don't I might ruin someone else's day.

My precept is "If you have to choose between being right or being kind, choose kind" I think this means to always choose kind because when you choose being right you can hurt someones feelings. Just remember to always choose kindness.
