Do cell phones belong in school, the article stats the different effects and defects of using cell phones in school, and shows how different schools and environments are dealing with cell phones in school. I feel like the article is quite repetitive and continuously states the same thing over an over again.

1.  The benefits of having a cell phone are being able to emergency contact a parent, you can use your phone for photography like our class did this year, you can use it as a math device if you don’t have a calculator you can use your phone. The negative parts are some students can be using their device in a non-responsible way going on social media etc. If I was a teacher I would be okay with kids having their phone at school as long as the teacher gives them permission to use it.
2. I don’t know that much about what the future for cell phones will be I feel like it will be a lot easier to access your device and social media like now there are smartwatches were the look like a watch but you can also go on social media.

“Wangari’s Trees Of Peace” is a children’s book based on a true story in Africa written and illustrated by Jeanette Winter. The story starts in Africa when a girl named Wangari got a scholarship and left her family to take on the opportunity. When Wangari returns to Kenya where her family lives, she noticed that there are no green trees left and decided to gather up other women and start replanting them. Soon Kenya was filled with green trees, but other people were trying to cut them down but Wangari stood up and wouldn’t let them cut it down. My first connection was when I was watching a movie and it was based in central new york a bunch of animals lived in a tree and people were trying to cut it down and they did everything in their power to stop them. My second connection was when I planted a bunch of apple and pear trees in my backyard.

This story starts off with a young boy Jacques who loves the water and ocean and building gadgets, one day his friend gave him goggles and that is what changed everything for the young boy. I remember when I was young I always wanted goggles. Because when  I was swimming and I would open my eyes in the water they would hurt and it would be blurry so I wanted to be able to see clear and my eyes not hurt and the ocean. Then one-day Jacques friend created a device would allow you to breathe underwater for certain time periods, which was amazing. This reminds me of a book I read when a boy went scuba diving and explored a series of caves and saw nurse sharks. As Jacques grew older he bought a boat and travelled the ocean and created the first underwater movie. Later he created a two-person device that you could travel 250 meters down in the water, then he expanded and built a 1 person device that could go 500 meters. Jacques travelled the Arctic seeing all sorts of animals, which reminds of the current event global warming gong around and how life in Antarctica is dying. As years passed he noticed the ocean was becoming polluted and decided to make a change and start teaching people about the ocean. He later died an unnoticing eath, Jaques in his lifetime wrote 50 books and 2 encyclopedia and many articles. Overall this book is written for all ages and shares a strong message about the ocean.

Enemy Pie is a  very meaningful story written by Derek Munson and illustrated by Calahan King. This story starts at the end of his eventful summer when he built a tree house in his backyard. I can connect to building a tree house because a few years ago at my grandparents house me and my cousins decided to build a huge tree house that was two stories tall. But one day Jeremy Ross moved it the neighbourhood and the boy hated him he was his worst enemy, first on his enemy list. The boy sought his father’s advice and asked for help on how to deal with his enemy. His father said there is one way to get rid of your enemy but you have to spend a whole day with him, so he did. During that day the two boys had lots of fun swimming, playing on a trampoline, which reminds me of a video I saw on social media of a guy and his friends doing multiple crazy flips at a time. As the day went by they decided to go up to his tree house and ass they were climbing up the boy had to get up quick to hide his enemy list with Jeremy name on it. Soon it was time for dinner and them two boys were hungry his dad made the enemy pie wich the young boy that was made to get rid of his enemy, Jeremy Ross. And before Jeremy went in to eat it the boy said it was poisonous and nit to eat it, but then Jeremy said your dad already ate half of it think it’s fine and the boys ate the cake and had a great night. Jeremy invites the boy over in the morning to his trampoline to teach him how to do flips. That reminds me of a time when I was reading Diary Of A Whimpy kid and one of the boys were invited to come over and learn how to do flips. Overall this story is great and written for all ages, and overall shares a very meaningful important message everyone can take out of it.

On Feb 24 I and my Sebastion G went to 711 to get some snacks and food when we arrived Seb G went to get his wallet when he realized he forgot so instead of walking back to his house I paid for his snacks. He thanked me and said I’ll pay you back I said “it’s on me don’t worry.” This made me feel good especially because I was doing something nice for a friend.

On Feb 26 My parents went out for the night and the house was really messy, so I decided to vacuum the house clean the house and do the dishes. This act of kindness made me feel good because instead of my parents coming home to a mess and having to clean it up when they are tired I decided to clean up the house. The house wasn’t messy because I and my sister made a mess it was everyone, so what I’m saying is that I didn’t make a mess and clean after myself. When my parents got home they were really impressed and thanked me and they didn’t know that I had the capability to do such a good job cleaning.

The past two weeks I have been voluntarily doing my sisters chores. I have unloaded the dishes, then load them, unload and organize the laundry and every  Monday morning in the cold I take the garbage. This act of kindness made me feel good because I felt that I was helping someone out. My sister was very surprised and happy, she thanked me and said instead of wasting time on chores she can get school work done. I chose that act of kindness because is aw that my sister was sitting up late to do homework and waking up tired so I thought doing the dishes she wouldn’t have to stay up late for homework.
