Joaquin -The rally awards are good. All of Leading Edge went to the rally. The kids that got papers must have had some pretty good grades. It would be nice if kids got awards for kindness too. The kids who did not get honor roll or high honor roll might be discouraged because they think the kids with good grades are better than them. I think when a teacher picks one child, one child out of 30 kids as their smartest of the whole trimester, it’s a problem. I think there was more than one kid who actually tried their hardest but didn't make it. What happens if a kid that did not try too much was picked as the best student but a kid who almost made it and tried his or her hardest? We think that if you have a bad grade, a teacher should teach the kid till he or she understands it it. I think this even though I was on Honor roll.
Austin- Mrs. Goldman would call the students for honor roll and high honor roll. I was proud to be on Honor roll. After that the principal calls all the teachers in one grade, like 6th grade. Ms. Goldman would call Mrs.Bibayoff, Mrs.Meindl, Mr. Shane, and Mrs.Leporiere. Each one calls a student from their class that follows the LE pillars the best and gives them the reward. After that Mrs.Goldman calls all the teachers from the other grades. Then she calls all the people in wrestling and girls soccer. Then the rally ends and everyone goes home.
During the week there were some interesting things that happened let me tell you about them. On Monday we started to see who would like to do what even in the Olympic games. (A event where there was Discus, Relay,50m, and wrestling, etc…) On Tuesday we Started to see what are chant was gonna be and we got to make the chant even though like 3 people did it that I heard. On Wednesday was the Olympic games it was at the end of the day, our class the Athens didn’t do very well (except for our banner) if I'm being honest but our class tried. We came in second place in many events.
In the end, I think the Olympians did the best out of the 3 classes. When it was over we all got to have root beer floats but there was also orange soda in some of them too. My favorite part was the discus event and the Greek Wrestling. In the end it was a fun experience and I think everyone had a great time.
