Best Field Trip


The best field trip I went on was in the third grade when we went to see the Nutcracker at the Bass Hall. I had always wanted to be in ballet and the Nutcracker was my favorite play. My favorite Christmas song, "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", is in the Nutcracker. Plus the Bass Hall is a wonderful place. It is so fancy and very formal. I remember before we went on the field trip we made the solider from the Nutcracker out of a Pringles can.

What Would You Do?

Ethical Dilemma Article - Mark and Christa

In the ethical dilemma that Mark is facing, he should listen to his heart and tell someone about the picture that has been posted of Christa. What the members of that group did was very hurtful and wrong. Mark knows the right thing to do and he knows it would eat him up inside if he did not stand up for Christa. If people are going to shun him then they don't deserve his friendship.

As a new student Mark knows how it feels to be alone and an outsider and should try to help those who is knows is in need of help. Being bullied, whether it is physical, cyber, or just mental can be stressful and traumatizing to students causing them to start to hate and feel inferior about themselves. Mark needs to fight against bullying and confront the members of the group and leave the group immediately.
