If I was given an invisible cloak for a day to perform a good deed. I would donate gifts/money to families who cannot afford gifts for this holiday. I would donate these things because I know that some families cannot buy gifts and when I was a kid I would always have gifts. I'm grateful for all the gifts I've received so I would like to give kids the that don't get gifts a chance to feel the happiness of receiving a gift.

I wouldn't want my to be out there because I wouldn't  want to be recognized for small deeds that help out kids. Because I feel that all kids should experience the feeling of opening a gift on Christmas day, and it is just the right thing to do.

The people I'm grateful for are my mom, dad, and my sister.

I am grateful for my Mother. I am grateful for her because she raised me to become the young man I am. Even though I'm still a work in progress she's trying. I am grateful also because she has always been there for me through thick and thin.

I am also grateful for my father. I am grateful to have a father figure I can look up to because a lot of people in the world do not have someone to look up to. He has always taught me right from wrong. He always wants the best from me and wants me to succeed in life. He is a hard working man to help provide for me and my family and is willing to do anything for us.

I am grateful for my sister, because she is someone I can relate. I can relate to her in many ways because she has gone through everything I am going to through. She is there when I need help academic wise, when I am struggling in a class, or when I need someone to talk to.

                                                                    US History I

                                             

         This year I am taking many new classes. The most exciting class I am looking forward to US History I. My teacher is Ms. Gaven. Ms Gaven is very laid back and very welcoming. I expect to learn how the US was established, how the Constitution came along and also about  the Bill of  Rights. So far I learned a little bit of the Constitution and a bit of information on the two major parties the Republican party and the Democratic party.

          In Class Ms. Gaven likes to include technology by using Classroom by Google. This allows us to submit and check our homework online. Ms. Gavens grading policy is 10% class participation, 10% homework, 40% project and test. You can access her website with this url ( http://wood-ridge.schoolwires.net/Domain/209 ).
