Today we watched another episode of kid nation. One of the girls did not understand their role or their reason to be there. A role is an overall pattern of behavior and interactions; a way of identifying and placing an individual. Also the kids noticed that faith is important. After the meeting, the council wants to choose only one religion. Some of the kids didn't understand why other kids didn't want to stick to one religion because everyone believes in different religions.
Later they called everyone together and planned to pray. The kids get to choose who they pray to. This is achieved status. An achieved status is something a person chooses and works to become. Most of all kids did not show up due to their beliefs. At the end of the day more kids came to pray together. Even some of the kids who didn't believe in god still came and that shows respect to me.
One of the kids from the rest of the yellow group decided he should help with dishes instead of playing. Then they were called to a showdown on religion. They had to get puzzle pieces and make a church. All of the groups had social interaction because they were all screaming at each other. Social interaction is any relationship between two or more individuals. Red and blue were neck and neck but blue left with upper class. Blue finished first, red finished second, yellow won third and green won last.
The winning choices were either a holy library or mini golf course. They chose the bibles in the end. Later the next day Taylor decided to not cook and that is an obligation. An obligation is a duty of commitment someone needs to fulfill. Later the next day they were deciding who gets the gold star. Before that they ask who wants to go home and Cody wants to go home to see his family. They finally give out the gold star and Morgan received the gold star because she doesn't complain about work and she loves everyone.

The Poorest Man
I think this man is very kind mostly because he donates over 90% of his salary to charity. It is very difficult to live with only $1,250. That is very kind of him to do that and we need more people in the world like him. Even though they say he is the poorest president he still has the biggest heart of all and he has a lot of swag. I think they should call him the president with the biggest heart and who has the most swag.

My Easter weekend
Last weekend I had a blast. Saturday, both of my cousins spent the night and we played video games and went outside. Then we stayed up late and watched movies together. Then Easter morning we all went to my grandma's house to celebrate Easter. We had a picnic with our entire family and we barbecued and hunted Easter eggs in the yard. After we celebrated Easter I went with my friend to the movies and we saw Captain America The Winter Soldier. The movie was amazing compared to the first. Finally I spent the night at my friends house and then I went home.

Kid Nation
Today we watched another episode of kid nation. In the episode the kids are just arriving in Bonanza. They have a perspective of being worried and scared and they don't know what to think. Perspective is a particular individual's point of view which is effected by experiences. I think the kids will do good in Bonanza as long as they all put in effort.
The kids have a town council which consists of four other kids who have a lot of the power of the group of kids. Power is the ability to control others. The council is not permanent but they are in charge for now. The kids get forty days of supplies to survive and they have to haul it to Bonanza. The council also gets to choose who is the best kid in the town and give them a 20,000 dollar gold star.
One of the kids had a latent function and pulled a muscle in their leg. A latent function are things that happen unintentionally or they were not the intended goal. The other kids helped him up and pulled him in the wagon because he couldn't walk. The kids finally arrive at Bonanza.

Kid Nation
Today we watched another episode of kid nation today. In the episode the kids are acting in play stage because they are wearing cowboy hats and outfits. Play stage is when children play pretend and act the way they think others would act. The kids are wearing the different clothes because they are in the desert. Therefor, they wore more cooler clothes because it was hot.
The kids used socialization so they could get along together. Socialization is how to participate in group life(must be taught how to behave and interact with others). They have to get along or the village will fall apart. The kids do an okay job at socializing with each other. But they need to learn how to socialize a lot more nicely.
Greg was cussing at the other kids because he was mad at the other kids. Also the kids were going to go to sleep earlier so they can work better in the morning,and that is resocialization. Resocialization is the process of adopting new norms, values, attitudes, and behavior. They gave the kids a 9:00 curfew. Even though the village was upset, They feel it was a good decision.
The teams were later called together to play another game. They had to catch specific sheep in a group. The council is yelling to there team, so there team would find the right sheep. This is total institutions because the council was telling there team to do. Total institutions is Places in which people are separated from the rest of society and controlled by officials in charge. At the end yellow won first, blue won second, green won third, and red won last.

Kid Nation
Today we watched another episode of kid nation. The society of kids voted to kill a chicken. A society is a group of people living in the same area and sharing common culture, but there will be differences. They ended up killing a few chicken. The kids made a gigantic deal about the head getting chopped off. They had chicken soup that night.
They woke up to freezing cold weather and their clothes were frozen in a bucket. Also some of the cooks were not working and they were messing around. They needed water, but the pump was frozen, so they poured boiling water on it and it became unfrozen. Then, later that morning, there was a chance to get a gold star. They had to compete in a competition to win the star. They had to bring hoses to the water wheel to get the wheel working. The winners can either win a huge water slide or you could win a mysterious item under a barrel. I see an example of Informal sanctions because the winners receive what prize they want. Informal sanctions are rewards or punishments imposed by any or all members of a society like thank you.
At he end blue team won first, red won second. yellow won third, and green won last. They got to choose between a water slide or a barrel with pumps to put around town. And the team that lost, they were being nice and not sore losers. I see this as norms because they will eventually have to get over it. norms are rules defining appropriate behavior like standing ij line, applauding, following laws, etc.

My Weekend
This weekend I'm excited because me and my parents are looking for a new house to buy. We've found several houses, but none of them are what were looking for. Also this weekend I am going to my friends house. This weekend will be very fun.

Dear Mrs. Debolt,
My favorite color is blue. It is my favorite color because it catches peoples attention, and I like the color. I like to play football in a league and with friends. I also like to play with my dog Sox.
One time, I was swimming and I did a back flip off of the diving board. It was one of the biggest backflips I had ever done in my life. The edge of the board caught my back. I fell in the water and my back was bleeding badly.
I've had a good experience with technology. I'm not the greatest using technology but I'm not bad. I enjoy playing games on technology. I plan to learn how to type very fast in your class.
Your student,
Riley Thurman
