Rain Reign


Everybody or any living thing probably has problems with their families, friends, and more at least once in their whole entire life. And that’s okay because we learn from them. Even though we feel like punching them sometimes, we actually want to hug them again and wished nothing had happen. Because that was what Rose wanted with her father. In the book, Rain Reign, by Ann M. Martin, Rose Howard is underestimating her trust with her father throughout the book but deep deep down, Rose loves her father no matter what.
In Rain Reign, Rose doesn’t really have friends except her dog because everyone finds her weird for loving homophones. Even  But that’s not the big problem. Everyday, Rain comes to Rose after school and gives her a lick like saying, “Welcome back! I’m so glad you’re back!” But today, she didn’t give Rose a lick. She’s gone. Throughout this book, Rose and her father has trouble getting back together as Rose still thinks he’s trying to do something. One example from the book is:

“Why didn’t you wake me up when you let Rain outside during the storm?”
“For Pete’s sake, Rose, haven’t we been over that already?”
“But why didn’t you?”
“I will answer that question one more time and then I don’t want to hear about it again. I didn’t wake you up because Rain has been outside plenty of times by herself and she always comes back. I didn’t think it was necessary. Besides, the storm was over.”
“Why didn’t you put on her collar on before she went out?”
“Rose! Enough!” ~ From the story Rain Reign by Ann M. Martin. pg. 110

This is important because it shows that Rose’s father trying to get away from something because he doesn’t want to admit why he let Rain out without telling Rose.
Along the way, Rose starts thinking up ways of how to get back Rain with her uncle, uncle Wildon. But at the same time, her father doesn’t help her find Rain, which also makes Rose wonder about her father hiding something. But afterwards, Rain was safely found at the animal pet shelter.

I think the Rose treats everyone fair even though people bully her a lot. And some examples to prove this is in the book when her dad lost Rain but didn’t exactly want to approve it, she yelled at him and got mad at him. Even though this doesn’t look fair, but Rose probably wants her dad to know that it’s okay to make mistakes as long as you admit it. And deep, deep down her heart, she probably loves her dad no matter what.

Sending and receiving

I think I did well on remembering to put my hands on the target and sort of tilting when throwing. But I think I could have improved on raising my hands higher and reaching my legs out to put more force into throwing. And I noticed from the beginning to now, I can throw higher balls with higher targets (with more power in it.) And I applied this into Tchoukball by receiving (and absorbing after you catch the ball.) Also throwing with higher targets.

Science refletion


One thing I learned from this unit was density. Density is the amount of mass per cubic volume. And the formula for density is mass divided by volume. I learned something about  this because Mrs. Hill taught me about a heart, and if you spilt the heart in half horizontally, there's a M and the top and a V at the bottom. The line sometimes represent divide in division. So M= Mass and V=volume. Mass divided by volume equals to density. I think one of the most memorable and meaningful things I did was the submarine because that taught me how to problem solve and to revise over and over again if I didn't get something or if it didn't become successful. It was also meaningful because it taught me that different people can have different ideas. Another thing that was memorable and meaningful is the layers of liquids because that also had to do with density. For example, the bottom color is at negative buoyancy because the liquid is denser than the others. And this is meaningful because I learned more about density and understand it better than before.

Fraction Comparison Reflection

Question: You know how to compare fractions using cross products, LCD, reasoning. When is it better to use one method over another? 

When both denominators don't have numbers that are in common, you would use cross products or reasoning depending on if the question is hard to do in your head. But when the denominators can be equivalent, then you would use LCD to find out which one is bigger. But easy problems like 2/4 and 1/3, you can use reasoning because you already know how much 1/3 is and how much 2/4 is.

Sportsmanship- on the sporting field and in the everyday life

1 example of sportsmanship: Never groan if you lose but learn from the mistakes I made. An example of that would be I would self-reflect about what you did good on or what you should work on etc.

3 ways I can demonstrate sportsmanship in PE: I can always try my best even though sometimes it doesn't work. And if I win, I never brag but compliment someone after class. Also I shake hands after every game.

2 ways that I can demonstrate sportsmanship in everyday life: I don't brag if I win, I just say "good game." I also play fair/ play by the rules. Like if we were doing water polo at our home pool, I would still play in the deep end and only use one hand to pass.

1 new way that you can demonstrate sportsmanship: I can try complimenting more, like during the game AND after the game.

Here's my poster:
