Spoken Word Poetry- Growth Mindset

Growth Mindset

It might just be a little voice at the end of a day saying I will try again tomorrow

Or the thought of something being better, greater than anything before

So when you even think for a fraction of a second to give up, push that thought out of the way and

Think the thought keep going, I got this!

Even when you see all of the air coming out of a balloon keep blowing it back up again

Your bicycle is not moving but just keep peddling

Cause guess what, eventually that balloon will be bigger than one has ever been before

And your bicycle will be going faster than one has ever gone before.

People will say GIVE UP

People will say YOU CAN’T

But who cares!  Don’t let those words get into your mind until you have changed them to KEEP TRYING  and YOU CAN

Because no matter what anyone else is this entire universe thinks or says

It’s your choice if you believe them

When things get tough just throw on that pair of wings and glide right through them

Because I believe in every single one of you, I believe that every single one of you will do great things.  I believe you can all make a difference!

But that’s just my opinion!  Now it’s your turn to Believe.

Don’t let failure be the end.  Make it the beginning.

Because Mistakes are just proof that you’re trying.

Grade 5\6 Elves Getting Ready For Christmas

We are changing the lives of people in Honduras by purchasing their artwork. We wrapped them ourselves to give to someone special.

One day I wanted to do something different and I made this! It's ads from the newspaper and they can all change the world! So keep going and change the world!

THIS IS HOW I AM GOING TO CHANGE THE WORLD

I asked my dad  what he thinks about changing the world. For changing the world,                  
he recycled all his old phones just like I did in the picture below.


For the picture there -----------> I recycled my old toys that I do not want any more or swapped them. I will give them away to kids that have no toys because I have a feeling they might want them and I like to share.

This is How I am Changing the World

I clean up the classroom. I help Mr. Elmer out by stacking the chairs in our classroom. I clean up the yard by picking up wrappers and putting them where they belong. I also change Ms. de Groot's world by smiling and giving her hugs. I help Leah with Olivia because she sometimes needs some space and support.

YACA

Yaca grows in Mexico all year long.
Yaca is green, bumpy, sticky and it has a strong smell.
Inside the yaca the white part is so sticky that you need a big knife with a lot of oil so it is not so sticky and hard to cut it.
Then you take all the yellow pods out.
Then you take all the seeds out of the yellow pods.
Then what we do is freeze it for one day and eat a bit and put it back. We also put some in smoothies. In Mexico a big yaca is $5.50. It gives us enough for 2 weeks.
To me yaca is good frozen.

Smokey

Fast and bumpy.That's what it feels like to ride Smokey. Smokey is a lesson horse at under the cross stable. Smokey is so fast and bumpy that I was scared that I was going to fall off. I was afraid to canter on Smokey. Every Wednesday evening we go to under the cross to ride horses. It's fun, but one night when Beth said I would be riding Smokey and that we may canter I was scared to canter on Smokey.

 I was fearful of falling off and breaking bones. Beth said, I'm going to help you. I'm going to get a lunge line. Smokey won't go as fast then. When you get used to his canter you can try to canter all by yourself. Is that okay with you Mikhayla?" I said, " yes that's fine with me."

I tried to canter but Smokey was too fast. After some practice with the lunge line I got used to Smokey's canter. Then I tried all by myself. I can't believe that I cantered on Smokey. I was proud of myself I overcame my fear, I wasn't scared to canter on Smokey anymore. Beth was proud of me to I thanked her so much for helping me canter and Smokey. I can do it all by myself now!

Remembrance Day

Rememberance Day

 

We were a poppy to remember the solidiers who faught for our freedom,and who keep us safe from the dangers that could harm us. On Rememberance day we bow our heads in a moment of silence to remember the fallen ones who have risked their lives to maintain our freedom. Rememberance day is to thank all those brave warriors who have passed and others fighting for our freedom now.

Pen Pal

Dear Ryan,

I think we should not have a holiday because if it was all of the people would not celebrate it then they will forget about the people that fought for our freedom. It would just be a normal holiday for all of the people and then they would forget about it. People would just go biking riding or go Christmas shopping.  I think it should not be a holiday because kids and parents would forget about it and it would be a normal day for them.
