This week we were given two videos to reflect on, each with there own special message and then we wrote about.
The MessageI think that the overall message in the video is we all have opinions and we should just accept people for who they are. The video shows two people who have opposite opinions about one specific topic. In the beginning there was a lot of tension between the two but as the video progressed they began to realize their differences. Even though the two people had totally opposite opinions and believed in them strongly learned to accept each other. Why these ads?In my opinion that these adds went viral because their message was very powerful and people felt the message should be shared. The message of acceptance is very important especially in the judgeful environment we live in today. Therefore, people feel moved and touched by the message and decided that others should be able to listen to the message as well. This is one of the reasons why these ads went viral. Our SocietyThese ads connect to the world around us because now that it is 21st century people are being accepted more and more in our society. These videos show the differences in our communities around the world. These video also show how everyone has different opinions and thoughts in our society. Now, people are being encouraged to speak out for what we believe, which help others consider and different side of the story. These are the kinds of things that can help us in our society, learning that everyone is different and we need to consider every side of the story.

In this blog post I'm am going to talk about the different ways I can use fracrtions in my adulthood! One of the ways I will use fractions in my adulthood is at the store for instance if there is a half of price. Another way I can use fractions is if I need to cut pizzas, cakes or pies. I can use fractions to decide if I want to cut it in eighths or fifths etc. I can also use fractions while I am cooking or baking in the kitchen, for measuring ingredients. Finally, I can use fractions for splitting a bill if I’m out eating with friends or something along that line.
But if I ever forget my fractions, I can always turn to google! This week my homework was to come up with 5 strategies to help me manage my time better, so here they are! The first strategy that I came up with was to know what my priorities are. If I know what my priorities are I can get those done first and then check my work to make sure there are no mistakes. The next strategy I can schedule my time out. By doing this I can have a better chance of getting my work finished on time. I can also stop procrastinating. If I stop procrastinating I won't leave the longest or most important part of the work for the end. To help me stay focused I can take breaks as needed. Taking breaks as needed can help me clear my mind to start fresh again, ready to work! Finally, one of the most important things I can do is stay focused. Staying focused that I will work harder and finish my tasks faster.
Happy Holidays! For homework this week we were doing descriptive paragraphs of a Christmas tradition. This paragraph represents just one of the few traditions my family has around Christmas time. I had a lot of fun writing so I hope you enjoy reading it! Christmas Eve Crunch, crunch, crunch! The ice breaks underneath my rubbery white boots. I cautiously walk towards the door of my cousin's house, being careful I don’t slip on the clear frozen water. I reach the cement porch with a retro chipped bench and a soft blue pillow. I can see the flashing lights reflecting off of the designer glass panes on both sides of the almond coloured door. I turn around to take in the gorgeous warm white lights placed around a tall naked tree. Ruff ruff! While Duke (my cousin's dog) is bolting towards the door with his silky brown hair waving from side to side I can hear muffled chitter chatter coming from the inside. My cousin reaches the door and swings it open, “Hello!” she says with excitement. Duke gets so excited that he runs out the door as fast as he can and starts jumping up and down. Once my family has all reached the door we walk inside. The fun has started.
Thinking of just 10 things we value might seem easy until you actually try to do it yourself. But to have an even bigger challenge, try getting rid of 5 of those 1 things. Now that's a challenge. Which is why I am making this blog. To tell all of you 10 things that I value. With a twist. Keep reading to find out what the twist is! Top 10 things I valueAfter thinking long and hard I was able to choose top 10 things I value,
Dramatic music starts playing* Oh no! Huge red and orange flames fly into the air. The ten things you value the most are standing in front of you. You have to escape fast, but you can only bring 5 things with you when you escape because you don't have enough hands for everything. What 5 things will you take? What five items will you through in the fire? I would get rid of...
You run and run down the stairs as fast as you can. BOOM! You're just about to reach the door but then parts of the roof fall down into your path! You now only have a small space to escape. But you have to get rid of 2 more things so you can enough hands to escape? What are the next 2 items you are going to get rid of? The next 2 items I would get rid of to escape the fire would have to be my ...
I would get rid of my glasses because I usually have to get new glasses every 2 years because my prescription usually changes. So I would have to get rid of them eventually anyway! I'm sad to say this but I would have to choose to get rid of my aloe plant. I chose my aloe plant because even though that exact aloe plant is irreplaceable and the way it felt and grew will never be the same, you can still replace it. So it's better than never being able to replace it! You've escaped safely, unlike quite a few of your valued items! Now let us take a look at what you have left after the fire...
I chose to keep these items because they're all really important to me and they are irreplaceable.
Now to the specifics | \/ I chose to keep my family and friends because they are all people I love and care about. I also care about too much to "ditch" them in a fire to keep a silly poster. My family and friends are always here for me whenever I need help. So keeping them is the most important to me! I chose to keep my health because staying healthy is beneficial for our mental and physical health. After doing a little bit of research I have found 3 reasons being healthy is beneficial,
Over the past 3 months, I've been able to notice a lot about myself like, how I procrastinate and how I clear my mind. The first thing I learned about myself is that I procrastinate so much! For example, for things like homework and studying, I'll sometimes say to myself "yeah, I still have 2 hours, I'll start the homework in 10 minutes.". Well 10 minutes later, (a.k.a 2 hours later) homework is not done and I wait until the next day. I have gotten better at this because I now try my best to start my homework over the weekend instead of Thursday or Wednesday.
In September I quit dance because I had a lot of injuries, my mom told me that I had to find something else to do after school. So after lot's of searching, I found a yoga place for kids around my age. Also, a few days after a yoga club started at my school. I started doing yoga and realized how beneficial it was for me. After yoga classes, I always feel energized and relaxed which is why I continued it. So during these past few months, I've learned lot's about myself, and how in my opinion how we should all take the time to reflect on ourselves to learn about ourselves to help us with situations in our lives where we need to understand what we need. Thank you.
Disney is something we've probably all watched as little kids. But it's always been the same. There's a girl a boy they fall in love, and they live happily ever after. But, there never really been anything different its always girl and boy. Now Disney is coming out with a new story, boy meets boy. The article I read was called "Disney Channel introduces a gay storyline on Andi Mack" it's a quick fact article with just enough information that you're not reading all day. This article tells you how Disney is now being more inclusive. This article really made me think of lots of questions I have about the T.V show. Some of the questions I have will be listed below. 1. Why would Disney suddenly decide to do a gay storyline? 2. How did Disney come up with this idea 3. Why are people overreacting to this topic? You might be wondering "Why is she putting random questions on this blog?" well, I'm going to teach you how to answer these questions using the R.A.C.E format.
First, of all let me tell you what R.A.C.E stands for, R, restate the question A, answer the question C, cite information from the text E, explain your response Now let me give you an example of a response, Why would Disney suddenly decide to do a gay storyline? I think that Disney suddenly did a gay storyline because Disney feels they should support the LGBTQ community. The article says "More and more young people coming out as LGBTQ.". With Disney making this show include LGBTQ, these young people feel that they shouldn't be scared to come as who they are and how they feel, just like Cyrus did on "Andi Mack". I once read a book about a transgender teen named Jazz Jennings. She is a great role model for the LGBTQ community because she was at a younger age when she knew who she wanted to be, she was never afraid to stand up for what she believes in. This reminds me of Andi Mack because they are both role modeling for the LGBTQ community. Disney is now becoming more and more inclusive over the years. Next, to show you which part is which I'm going to colour each section. I think that Disney suddenly did a gay storyline because Disney feels they should support the LGBTQ community. The article says "More and more young people coming out as LGBTQ.". With Disney making this show include LGBTQ, these young people feel that they shouldn't be scared to come as who they are and how they feel, just like Cyrus did on "Andi Mack".

Finally, check it over and make sure you have corrected everything you need. If you have any questions leave them in the comments below!
Watch video above /\ | | This video is very powerful. I can not get over how many people saw what was happening and didn't stand up for that boy, but they decided to "stand up" to there burger. This is just one of the examples of what our society cares about. This video made me feel disappointed and sad because what if this happens to me one day. I don't know if I can count on others to help. Also, as adults, they should be sharing their wisdom and their knowledge to help us as children. They should be the ones to stand up and help us because we don't know any better. Our world could be a better place if we did random acts of kindness every day. It seems easy to do it once, but continuing is a larger challenge. After watching this video, I am now going to try to do one random act of kindness to make someones day or to just help others. At my school, we always say, "Look After Yourself and Look After One Another" Always be kind to one another, you never know when that might help.
