I am very excited for spring break. I hope I get to hangout with my friends. I really hope there is no homework! I want to play basketball during spring break as well. The weather will start getting warmer which is a very good thing. I hate the snow and cold. My birthday is in summer which is why I like warm weather. I hope I can catch up on all my work before spring break. Do you like spring break?

During my ELA I got to go to a different room. In that room you can watch a movie or play games. I got this reward because I made it to silver during our Go for the Gold challenge. I decided to watch the movie and play games. We watched Pitch Perfect 3. It was hilarious and I had fun. I had fun because my friends were also there. I wish I made it to gold!

I think that this book was really interesting and funny. It gave many great descriptions of each character. This book was amazing and I think it is the perfect amount of pages. The author gave many unique characteristics to each character. I also found it unique because a character named Sunny Wyler vows to  to not change her shirt, not wash her hair, and never even smile until she gets into the same school as her best friend, Hillary Kain. Overall I would definitely recommend this book.

To me, I think MSD is very important to support. Things that I did to support were join in at the school assembly. In the assembly we listened to speeches and watched slideshows. We then went outside. Outside we formed a heart with the number 17 inside. Everybody wore their orange shirts. The number 17 represents the number of lives that were taken by the shooting. I think it is very important to take part in our world.

I usually don’t like quotes. My favorite quote is “ The word ‘happy’ would lose it's meaning if it were  not balanced by sadness. This quote is by Carl Jung. I think this quote has a very true meaning. The meaning is that you wouldn’t be happy and cheerful if you never experienced sadness every once and a while. You need to have happiness and sadness in your life.

There are many parts to Chicago History but one important event I will be focusing on is the Great Chicago Fire. The Great Chicago Fire was a fire that occurred October 8th, 1871 to October 10th, 1871. Sunday to Tuesday. Just by the dates you can already notice that the fire took a while to put out.  This fire in Chicago killed up to 300 people, destroyed 17,500 buildings, and destroyed 2,000 lampposts. This was roughly 3.3 square miles of Chicago that was destroyed. The fire also left 100,000 residents homeless. There are many different beliefs on how the fire started.
