      During my winter break I want to stay productive! Every week I plan on reading at least five chapters between three days each week. Another way I plan on staying productive is doing NoRedInk assignments. There are quite a few subjects to practice! I also want to add in all my missing book reviews into my book review page. Writing will also help with my writing, and it’s staying productive!       Tomorrow December 21st is the last day before break! We have a special incentive hour thing. I was a bit disappointed though because I didn’t get to sign up for the room I wanted. I felt a little sad about it. My friend Ava got to sign up for it, but when she saw I didn’t get to sign up for it she switched the room she was in! Honestly, Ava is a really great friend. I really appreciate what she did! The room I picked was the Grinch movie room, I didn’t really know what to choose so I chose the Grinch room. I’m not too excited for it though.

       Forgiveness is important. Sometimes people can say things they don’t mean, what they say could hurt your feelings. Other times people might do things on purpose to hurt you. If it’s a small thing, maybe you could forgive them, when it’s a huge thing like physically hurting you that’s probably something you wouldn’t forgive someone for doing. Forgiveness is when you stop being angry or upset with someone and putting it aside. Maybe you can’t forgive someone for what they did, that is understandable, you can choose to forgive someone if you want to. When people say things sometimes they don’t mean it. For example when some people say “I hate you!” They could be sarcastic, they could also be upset with you. Sometimes people use insults sarcastically, maybe it hurts your feelings, but they don’t really mean it. Humans say stupid things sometimes.

       Honesty is very important in life. In some cases being honest can really make an impact on an event that may happen. Someone could have lost a special piece of jewelry, you could have seen it, but maybe you didn’t want to say anything. The person who lost this piece of jewelry could be extremely disappointed. Not being honest can also make you feel guilty, feeling guilty isn’t a good feeling at all. Being honest means owning up and telling someone what you did wrong, it could also be doing something right. Things like constructive criticism is being honest about a piece of work and giving someone feedback, telling the truth about taking cookies from your cousin is being honest, telling a person how you feel about them like if you love them or not is also being honest. Being honest is hard sometimes, especially when you really don’t want to tell the truth. Maybe you forgot to do something that your parent told you to, and you don’t want to tell them you forgot to do it, you would

     This week we finished MAP testing for the winter. I didn’t really enjoy it, the only part I liked was drawing after I finished a test. All three drawings I did after the tests were actually pretty nice and I put more effort into them. We did three tests, math, reading, and language arts! My highest score was on Language Arts, I got a 235 on said test. I honestly thought the hardest test was reading, though I usually get higher scores on that one, I went down. I was a bit disappointed but I did get high scores on the other two tests! If we go up at least two we get an incentive, for one of the rooms we get to bring our own device, I’m planning on bringing my Nintendo Switch! We get to do this incentive on the day before winter break starts, December 21st!

     Sunday (December 3rd) I cut my hair really short. I pretty much only cut it so I wouldn’t have to brush it every single day, and so I could dye my hair again. I went to a hair salon called “Haircuttery.” Once we got to the salon there was a tablet for the customers to sign in. My dad had me make an account since we haven’t gone to that salon before. While I was typing in my mother’s name I continued to misspell it, then I misspelled mine, and my brothers... Once I finally spelled all the names correctly we waited for less than two minutes for the stylist to take me to a chair so I could get my hair cut. The lady just cut through a bunch of my hair, she took me to wash my hair, there was so much long hair left and I thought she was done because she was washing my hair, I was a bit scared. Luckily, she wasn’t done cutting my hair. She brought me back to the seat and started to pin multiple chunks of hair to the top of my head, slowly the pile of hair on the top of my head got smalle

  My character’s name is Darian Rosefeather, he is an Asian-American supervillain. He is 25 years old, he is 5’8, he has purple eyes, he also wears glasses, and he has short hair with green highlights. Darian’s older brother Jordan Rosefeather and him aren’t very close, Darian and his grandparents are very close. Darian’s grandparents support him as much as they are able to. As a kid whilst Darian was in school he was bullied for his purple eyes, everyone thought they were unusual and called him a monster. Darian was bullied all throughout his life because of his eyes, the fact his family was well known for being villains, and because his parents were in jail for a hug scandal with the Rosefeather Villain League. Speaking of leagues, Darian is part of the higher class Villain League of New York. Though he has the introvert lifestyle, he is extremely smart, his sharpness is what even got him into the Villain League.   Let’s get into what his powers as a supervillain are! Darian has the

   The funniest story that most recently happened was at lunch, I forgot what day it was though. I sit with my friends Ava, Ariani, Alexa, Emma, Jimmy, and Tiegan. Ava was just reading her book while Jimmy, Tiegan, and I were talking about how we called grape juice “purple water with a lot of sugar.” We don’t know why we found this funny, but we did, and we couldn’t stop laughing. At one point we were in line Jimmy was swinging his ID, he was swinging it too fast until it finally flew out of his hand and into the trash that was behind him! Me and Tiegan fell on the floor and laughed, whilst the species “Jimmy Herrera” as we called him, searched through the trash to grab his ID. Once we got to the table Jimmy started eating- very fast. At one point he spilled some of his food on the table, he didn’t have a napkin so he thought he would use his ID. As he swiftly moved it along the table it caught tomato sauce in the corners where the paper of the ID was exposed, Tiegan, Emma, Pablo, Jimm
