How have the holidays changed as you have grown older? Compare your experiences of the holidays during childhood with how you experience them now, focusing on shifts in perspective, responsibilities, or emotional meaning.

As I've gotten older, I've started learning more things that change the way I celebrate holidays. Christmas is still a great time to be with family and open gifts, but It just isn't the same as when I was a young child. I used to wake up at 6am, run into my parents room, and be so excited to see what I got for Christmas. Now it's probably, wake up at 8, eat breakfast, then open gifts. Still fun, but not the same.

Today we copied down lesson 6 of the vocabulary into our notebook, and created our own sentences using those words.

I learned new vocabulary today.

I thought it was over for me. But I had to make the decision to not play video games with ALL my friends, and complete the assignment in record time. I ended up finishing it with 10 mins to spare, then I played the game. Today we finished reading "The life you save may be your own". And watched the short movie as well. ' I think the short story was engaging, and an overall good read. I got better at reading comprehension, and I'm ready for the quiz tomorrow.

Imagine you are learning about Hispanic/Latino heritage for the very first time. What would you be curious to know about the traditions, foods, music, or celebrations?

I would want to know about their whole culture. I would want to try their foods and see their celebrations and how they are different than our own. Today we did some more practice with clusters. We had the topic of "Overrated", and we had to put 5 things we thought were overrated. I got better at learning how to format and get ideas for what to write in my essay.
