We read more of Wonder and some of the other characters were introduced. There was a reference to Mr. T. Here is a photo of what they were talking about when Auggie asked if the principal was called Mr. T. Mr. T. was a big time celebrity in the 1980s. He was on the original A-Team TV show. He was also a boxer in one of the Rocky movies, Rocky III. One of his famous catchphrases was, "I pity the fool who ..." followed by some sort of description. Something like, "I pity the fool who doesn't read books!" Today, the students began to share their learning about the hot topics surrounding the 2015 elections. They have started to learn about the pros and cons to some topics from vaccinations to government surveillance and also about privacy and freedom. Next week, a candidate from the Liberal party of the Cloverdale riding will be coming to talk to the students about his platform. We are hoping to have the other candidates come to Hillcrest to talk about what they hope to do if they are elected. (Thank you Mr. Hong for being on Twitter.)

I'm thinking of doing pencil sketching, I've always had an intrest in drawing but colouring just sucks so I've always done black and white photos. I've tried and tried to make these drawings perfect but never taken the time to learn any techniques. Those are my reasons.

We should do photography! I don't think we did this before. I was thinking like taking a picture of a flower for example and then drawing it as close to how the picture looks. So it's a realistic drawing of a flower. Or it would be fun to just take cool photos!! We usually find meaning from words but sometimes pictures express a meaningful message too. The second thing I want to do is paint! When we painted our fish last year I loved it! It's fun to just express different colours and shapes. You get to be creative and mix colours to make new colours. And the finish product has a beautiful blending look. Bye! See you guys tomorrow!:)

After that video the 2nd video on the bottom for me said I am Auggie Pullman. I watched and never have I ever been so melted. My heart just folded into itself. It really was amazing. I recommend to watch it! I really like painting and nature sketches so that would be fun! I think it would be good to do a sketch of nature because sometimes we don't admire the scenery that we endure everyday! And I just like sketching/painting so a watercolour painting would be cool!

PHOTOGRAPHY!! I like looking at something pale and making it unique. Like a path in the woods would be a good picture. Or even taking a photo of something thats already unique and inspiring. And I usually print the photos I take and put them on my wall to inspire me and motivate me. Even if its a pretty ordinary flower. That video was just heart warming. How Auggie is a different kid. See you guys tomorrow! Another day of learning!

I'm really look forward to doing drama class again because it was so much fun last year! We got play games, we got to be as dramatic as we want. Drama is one of favourite things in the world because you can act like a totally different person.

I want to do a painting but I'm not sure what kind of painting, and I'm planning on making it look like splatters but I'm not sure how i would describe it and why I chose to do it. I'll figure something out later. See you guys soon! P.S: I made my own catchphrase a long time ago. Another day, another problem.

I totally agree with everyone! Photography would be great! We could do partners and kind of have a message as the meaning with the photo. Kind of like what students did a few years ago!
