Write about a meaningful object or place in your life that carries a story.

Prompt Response - 
An object in my life that carries a story is the LEGO set 75022 Mandalorian Speeder. It was a set that I had really wanted as a kid back in 2013 that I didn't get. One day, as I was cleaning out a closet last year, I found a bag near the back of the closet, and when I opened it, the set was in there, brand new. It turns out my parents had gotten it for my birthday and hid it so as not to spoil the surprise, and ended up forgetting about it.


Summary - 
Today in class, we got our school pictures taken, read a text, and discussed it.


Reflection - 
Today I learned of the Navajo creation myth. It was interesting to learn about how they viewed the the creation of the world and the similarities and differences to other tales and religious stories.

Thinking about "The Rockpile," what is something your parents forbade you from doing when you were growing up? Explain what it was and why they might have set that rule.

Prompt Response - When I was little, my parents forbade me from getting into a stranger’s car. They always told me that even if someone seemed nice or offered me something, it could be dangerous because you never really know a person’s true intentions. At the time, I thought they were just being overly protective, but now I understand they were trying to protect me from harm. Summary - Today in class, we read The Rockpile.

After reading “Out, Out—” by Robert Frost, reflect on a time when you faced a dangerous or high-pressure situation that demanded your complete focus. What made the situation risky, and how did your concentration affect the outcome?

Prompt Response - A time that I faced a dangerous situation was when I was cooking and almost started a fire. I was cutting vegetables while I had something in the oven, and then I got distracted. When I was doing that, I started to smell something burning and realized that I had forgotten about what was in the oven. Due to being careless, I could have started a fire that would have burned the house down. After that, I focused on what I was doing until the meal was done.
