August To June

August to June

By: Devin McCann

At the beginning of Mrs. Furr’s class,

I thought to myself, man I want to surpass.

I didn't know how hard this year was going to be,

But now I’m pretty sure it’s clear to me.

That everything turned out to be just fine,

just as long as I made sure to make some time.

Now I really wasn't starting to care,

until we started reading Touching Spirit Bear.

Things were starting to take a toll,

We read half the book about that kid named Cole.

My learning was almost at its peak,

And that’s when I entered the third six weeks.

We were getting pretty far in the book of Cole,

We even made a really cool totem pole.

We had to draw some animals and say what they were,

Whether they hissed or squawked or screeched or purred.

My drawing isn't good, my drawing isn't great,

but hey…haters going to hate. 

Then we started reading Hollis Woods,

it’s about this girl who is not understood.

More than halfway through the year, doing just fine,

but pretty soon we’ll all be out of time.

This rap is pretty long, I don’t mean to be a clogger,

But then we did a photo challenge on the thing called blogger!

On the fifth six weeks, almost the end of the year,

your almost done so don’t shed a tear.

Now we’re learning about archetypes you know it’s true,

 We also did Gods and Goddesses too.

Now we’re getting to the last six weeks,

So you better grab your learning cap if knowledge you seek.

We’re at the very last six weeks you see,

We even got to watch an Enchanted movie.

We also had to study some things,

Like some poems that really wanted to make you sing.

But it’s true, this year hasn't been a bummer

So...have a good summer!

Deeper
into the woods
Lucky stars
Gone
The enemy
Unlike you
Lies

Poem in a paper

My poem.

When I grow up

When I grow up,
I'll be at the front
of the flock with my wings,
When I'm grown up.

When I grow up,
I'll meet that someone that completes my lovebird's song
when I'm grown up.

When I grow up,
I'll protect my eggs
from those pesky blue jays,
When I'm grown up.

When I grow up,
I'll have my own nest,
with lots of twigs
and sticks to make it big
when I'm grown up.

My Music

Well, to be honest, my music I like to listen to is me on my trumpet! I love playing trumpet, and I have been playing trumpet since 6th grade, and love doing it. Plus, I know how to play songs like "Party Rock Anthem" , "I Gotta Feeling" and more. If I'm not listening to music on my trumpet, it's usually on my phone. However, on my phone, I don't have too many songs, but 1 I have is "Stronger" and more. See you next post! :D

My Closet

This is my closet. It is very messy, but it's fine. I keep all board games in here too. Plus I also keep my little brother's toy trains in here as well. I use my closet often, since, after all, it does have all my clothes in it. My closet so I have to walk sort of far to get to it in the morning. My closet isn't too big, just a single door (in fact, mine is the smallest in the entire house). See you next post! 

POHW: Character Development

    Hollis Woods has changed since the beginning of the book. One example of this might be that in the beginning of the book, she had no family, but now she does because the Reagans adopted her. Also, she changed her name to Hollis Reagan, since the Regans adopted her. Another might be that she was very depressed for many reasons, but now she is very happy with herself, and her family. Lastly, Hollis ran away from almost everything in the beginning, but now she is happy exactly where she is now.

    Some ways that Hollis has stayed the same in this book would be that she still loves art. She also still loves the color french blue with all her heart. She also loves Izzy's hard candy, and throughout the entire book, she has eaten the candy. Lastly, even though she lives with him now, she still thinks about what Steven would say for whatever she does.
