Danny's 4th grade, year-end, language arts reflection

1. LANGUAGE ARTS
REFLECTION
by Danny.B

2. My favorite read-aloud is
Under The Egg because I
liked the idea of the book,
which is stolen art being
returned to its rightful
owner. I liked the genre of
the book, which is mystery.

3. I also liked the vocabulary because I could
use it in other projects. Some of the words
are stalag, Monuments Men, and heirloom.

4. My favorite 3 books I read independently this year are Legacy Of The Jedi by Jude
Watson, Revan by Drew Krapshyn, and 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. I like Legacy
Of The Jedi by Jude Watson because it tells the past about a lot of really interesting
characters, it is Star Wars and I love Star Wars, and I like the genre, which is sci-fi. I like
Revan by Drew Krapshyn because it talks about a time that most authors don't write
about, it talks accurately about a really rare character, and I like books where every
couple chapters it changes the perspective.

5. I like 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea
because I like Jules Verne's books, I
like idea of the book, which is traveling
the world from under water, and the
journey they make in the book, which
is traveling around the world, and
under Africa, and to the Arctic.

6. My favorite writing assignment this year was the
March Mammal Madness/research because I liked
researching the riverine rabbit. I thought it was an
interesting animal and I liked making a picture of
the riverine rabbit. I also liked writing about it.

7. I think the daily 3 helps us build stamina in reading, writing,
and word work. I like the daily 3 because I can read a lot
during daily 3. I can write a lot of stories during daily 3. I can
play word work apps to help me expand my vocabulary.

8. I think being in a 1:1 iPad class is okay
because it will save time and work. It
sometimes also won't save or it will
glitch, it will crash or freeze, and some
apps aren't made for certain iPads.

9. My favorite job out of documentarian,
blogger, and tweeter is documentarian.
My favorite job is documentarian
because I like photography.

10. The 3 norms of our class are attentive listening,
mutual respect, and no put-downs/ give
appreciations. I think attentive listening means to
listen with your eyes, ears, and heart. I think mutual
respect means respect people and their property and
school property. I think no put-downs/ give
appreciations means give compliments and don't give
insults.

11. I used to think reading was awesome; but now I think
reading is the best thing ever because I read some
really amazing books this year.
