The G5 Looking Serious...

Story to share...

I thought I would share this with you...

An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life.  He said to them: 

"A fight is going on inside me... Its a terrible fight and it's between two wolves.  One wolf represents fear, envy, sorrow, greed, arrogance, guilt, resentment, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

The same fight is going on inside you and inside everyone"

They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked:"Grandfather, Which, Wolf Will Win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied.........

"The one you feed"

Cardboard Box

The students have been working on word choice in their writing to help paint a picture in the readers mind and to help add imagery/detail to their writing.  One of their assignments was to write a paragraph describing an event taking place in a cardboard box using words that help paint a picture.  This was inspired by an Spongebob episode where Patrick and Spongebob play in a box using only their "imagination"  Please share you paragraph here!!

Camp Reflections

Please tell the class about your favorite moment at camp.  Please be specific and use good word choice to paint a picture in our minds.
