Month: January 2024

This month I read School Trip the sequel to New Kid by Jerry Craft. This book is about Jordan and his friends going on a field trip to Paris, France. The school is Riverdale Academy day school. Jordan is an artist and he is really exited to see the Paris, the city of lights.

Jordan is a new kid that came to the school last semester. He didn’t have many friends because he is the new kid. The reason why he really likes France is because he is an artist. In this book it shows that Jordan can persevere through all the stress of being the new kid. Another reason why he can’t make a lot of friends is because he gets discriminated because he is a different skin color than all of the other rich white kids at his school.

I loved this book because it really expresses how Jordan is an artist because he is in the best art city in the world. I also loved how his friends let Jordan wander around and have fun in a place that he has really wanted to go to for his whole life. That shows how he has good friends and how nice they are. My favorite character was Jordan because I like how he isn’t afraid to express himself. One quote that shows this is “you guys know I love this city and you guys can’t ruin this for me” this shows that he isn’t afraid to speak his mind because he doesn’t care what other people say about him.

My favorite quote was “ Liam do you ever shut up?” This is my favorite quote because again it shows how he can be comfortable around his friends because he has such a good friend group.

The quote I choose to do my weekly blog about is “happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light .” This quote shows significants to me because it demonstrates that when you’re down there can always be someone or something to cheer you up. For me hockey cheer me up whenever I’m down or sad. Another reason I think this quote is important is because it shows that there can always be happiness no madder what happens. i like how this quote shows who dumbledore is as a charcter.

My hero is dad. On reason my dad is my hero is because he helps with everything in my life. Hockey, school, life. He just helps me with the little things in life. Even when i9 need assistance with friends and if I need a ride anywhere he always hears me out and helps me. The second reason is because he loves me and I love him and there is never any bad vibes except for when I mess up in hockey. The third and final reason is because he my DAD my father you should always look to your parents. He is the only dad I have and he’s the best dad in the entire universe.

This month I read new kid by Jerry Craft. I loved this book. The main plot in this book was a boy who just moved into this private school and he is different he doesn’t like to go outside or hang with friends. One thing he loves to do is draw in his notebook.

I loved this book because I think there is a lot of people that feel left out and need friends so I think it’s good to give recognition to those people and I love that. My favorite character was Jordan because he was the new kid that had to fight to make friends and be successful. Jordan is very different one quote that proves this is “ Jordan why do you always don’t hang out with us your weird” this’d showed that he is different because he doesn’t really have any friends and he gets discriminated against for being a different skin color than others.

My favorite quote from the New kid by Jerry Craft was “it’s not pink it’s SALMON” this shows how the school the Jordan goes to takes pride in there school spirit just like are school here at Hewes.

My word(s) that I would like to focus on is lock in. One reason that I want to focus on this is because I think it’s good to have a good mindset about things. You don’t want to have a bad mindset about things because it could result in something way bigger problems. The second reason why I want to use lock in as a phrase of intention is because it can correlate to so many things like hockey, school, and friends it can help me in so many ways. The best and final reason why I want to use lock in as a phrase of intention is because it sounds cool and I can mean a lot more than just lock in it can mean do better and work hard. That is why I want to use lock in as a phrase of intention in 2024.
