Story Map Finishing Touches - Tuesday 9-3-2024

 Today, we continued editing our story maps before presenting it tomorrow, as well as adding finishing touches in preparation. In doing so, I learned that I have that circumstances where a conflict was present, is often where growth occurs. I was checking to make sure my map locations were there and that I had a photo for each slide. I liked this part because it also allowed me to review and reread my project. I'm feeling satisfied with the project so far, and I think the presentation tomorrow will go well.

Immigration NewsELA Tuesday 8/20/24

 In class today we completed an assignment reviewing the current status and future of immigration / immigrants to America. I learned that Asians are soon to become the most common immigrant group over Hispanics by the year 2055.

Trees can begin as a tiny seed, and grow to be grand and majestic structures that represent slow but steady growth.

Wednesday - 1/8/2025 - Write about a dream that felt real

Along the way, we found some other family members like my sister and cousins. Eventually, we reached a high bridge after hiking up a hill, and as we were crossing the bridge, disaster struck. Another sand storm hit, and in the chaos, the bridge snapped and I was trying to hold on to others to make sure they didn't fall, but the wind was too strong, and as I was falling towards the ground, I happened to wake up. I think part of what made this dream feel so real to me is that I've had it more than once.
