Service Learning at Christalite Methodist Home

Today our class went to the Christalite Methodist Home and I learned that the seniors wanted their painting to look special. Like today, I was working with two seniors and one of them started fighting because they complained about how the paint was dirty. Because one of the seniors didn't wash their brush that often. I think that our class achieved the goal of trying to focus on the person, not the drawing and also trying to make a friend because a lot of them were having a good time. I know this because as they were doing the craft, I could tell that some of them were laughing and also enjoying this time with their friends. I think we achieved making friends because they shook hands with us and some of them were also thanking us for letting them paint with their friends. I felt happy to see all these seniors happy.

What I had learned about push pull factors in social studies

In this unit, I had learned about push pull factors. For push factors, it means why you had left that place. And for pull factors, it means why you wanted to stay in that place. Or, it means what attracted you to this place. This effects immigration because a push factor means that an immigrant or a person is expelled from one country to the next.

My Reading Goal

           I think this year in reading, my reading goal is reading more different genre's like non fiction or mystery. I choose this goal because last year and so far this year I am only reading fantasy and realistic fiction. I will accomplish this goal by reading different genre's each week. For example, this week I am going to read realistic fiction and next week, I will read mystery. I think this is a great goal for me because I want to try different genre's , learn more awesome authors, and read more different books!
