Good Morning everyone,

Only two more weeks left until summer vacation. Well, Summer at least because I don’t know if any of us will be allowed to go on vacation. Today is a more relaxed day as we are done our readings of Charlotte’s Web. I hope you all get to go outside and enjoy some of the sun finally!

1. Charlotte’s Web (Paragraph writing):

In your blog post today, I want you to think about the whole story before you write a short paragraph answering the following questions.

Friendship is a major theme of the novel. Can you talk about one friendship from the story and what they did for each other in the friendship? Why was their friendship so good? Did they trust each other? Did they help each other during a hard time? Think about what the word “friend” means to you. Who are your friends? Why are they your friends? What does friendship mean to you?

Please answer most or all of the questions above in a full paragraph. (Yes, this is the last paragraph you’ll have to write this school year, I promise!)

4. Charlotte’s Web Movie

I’m sorry I couldn’t find the link to the newer version of this movie, but here is the original cartoon version made by Paramount back in 1973. That’s 20 years before I was born, so this is really old! Anyways, hope you enjoy the movie! Try to make a snack to eat while you watch this movie. (Example: ice cream sundae, some popcorn, nachos, chicken wings and fries if you’re feeling fancy, and maybe some candy?)

    I will be writing about what friendship is.

    Friendship is many things. Friendship is people come together and have fun. When people respect you for who you are, that is friendship. Caring for each other is friendship. You have people that help you through tough times. Friends that respect the decisions that you make. You having a shoulder to cry on. That is what I think friendship is.

  2. Yasmeen says:

    Today I wanna talk about friendship.Friendship is really important because we don’t want your friends getting mad at you or you get mad at your friend.for an example friendship is me and my mom really like each other and we make each other letters. Friendship is also like when you make a cup of tea for your mom and your mom makes u one to.

    Now I wanna talk about friends Friends are really important to have. If you have no friends you would feel lonely and u would feel like u have no company. Don’t let your friends get mad at you because if all your friends don’t wanna be friends with you your just gonna keep losing friends. And I don’t know what I would do without friends.

    One friendship from the story is that Charlotte actually saved Wilbur’s life with miracles and her sneaky and smart ideas. Wilbur as thoughtful and loving as he could be, took care of Nelly, Aranea and Joy even when Charlotte died, Wilbur new no one could replace beautiful and caring Charlotte the way she was. Their friendship is good because at first they trusted each other and then their close relationships brought them together as friends. Yes, they did trust each other and in fact, trust is probably all you need to make friends. They did help each other in a hard time. For example, when Wilbur found out he was going to be killed, Charlotte calmed him and told him she would save his life. The word ” Friend” means to me is that you will trust that person and you know that person will not be mean to you or ignore you. That is really important because I made friends but I did not know if they were going to fight with me so I went and became friends. They did not be nice they were rude and you know what? I am not friends with them anymore. Some people call each other ” Friendamies” which means you fight with them and are nice to them. My friends are probably Makenna, Samantha, Eric, Yasmeen, Sarah, Meyri, Sams, Tina, Niko, Mrs. Armstrong and Mr. Wu. They are all my friends because they are kind to me and none of them are really rude to me or a show off or try to look better than others. The word friendship means that you will have a friend relationship with them.

      I’m glad you were able to determine what friends are worth keeping. As you get older you will meet new friends and some friends you will leave behind. But that is ok!

  4. Sarah says:

    Wilbur helped Charlotte by taking care of the egg-sack. Charlotte helped Wilbur by saving him from Mr. Zuckerman’s plot to kill him. Charlotte helped Wilbur through a tough time. Wilbur trusted Charlotte a lot. Charlotte trusted Wilbur to. That is one of the reasons why I think that there friendship is so good.

  7. Samantha says:

    This paragraph talks about friendship

    Friendship is being kind, being there for others, and helping others. friendship is really important because not only if you act rude to others they will be mad at you but it will make you and the person who got mad at you will not like each other as much witch is obviously not good. Do you have to be real with others and respect them so that they can treat you the same way .

  8. Logan Cheng says:

    I would like to talk about the friendship between Charlotte and Wilbur. Friends do things for each other. So Wilbur and Charlotte did this for each other: Wilbur got Templeton to get Charlotte’s egg sac and Charlotte save Wilbur’s life. They are so good friends because they like each other even though they have some flaws. They don’t see each other like the other animals do and the other animals see Charlotte and Wilbur weird. Charlotte and Wilbur trusted each other because they were such good friends and friends trust each other a lot. They helped each other in hard times because they cared for each other and they are both good animals. The word friend means this to me: having each other’s back, being considered for each other and caring for each other. I have friends in my class and I have friends from my parents friends. We are friends because we like the same things and some of my friends are friends with me just because we met and became friends. The word friendship means this to me: a connection between different people.

  9. Liam says:

    Wilbur took care of Charlotte’s 514 children and Charlotte help Wilbur survive by making words like terrific. This friendship begins of a mother and child relationship. Wilbur learns that his friendship with Charlotte is an everlasting friendship. Wilbur knows true friendship is special and long lasting. Friendship means spending time together and helping each other when you need help. My friends are Nate, Aiden, George and Roman, there my friends because they play soccer with me and play other games and I had fun with them.

  12. Samskruthi says:

    Charlotte and Wilbur were good friends and Charlotte always gave Wilbur something even though Wilbur didn’t give Charlotte but friendship and that was a major thing for Charlotte because nobody else was her friend. It was so sad to have Charlotte die. Even though at first Wilbur thought Charlotte was cruel and bloodthirsty turned out that she was a true friend to Wilbur. Because of Charlotte Wilbur won a medal and stayed alive. Charlotte put a lot of effort into writing words on her web. They were always there for each other. The two friends trusted each other because they were good friends. I have too many friends to mention. Without friends we will all be lonely. And this story told us that friends are important.

    • wuj says:

      Absolutely, they were definitely there for each other until the very end! And Wilbur was there even for Charlotte’s kids.

    • wuj says:

      Although I love being around friends all the time, I do like my alone time too. Friends are great when I am bored.

      Listening is a very important part of a friendship. When you listen, you understand what problems they are experiencing and then you help them solve the problems 🙂

      All of my friends trust that if they ever needed anything I would be there for them, and if I ever needed something they know they can ask me too!

    Journal

    Topic: Friendship

    In the story Charlotte and Wilbur were friends and Charlotte wrote words in her web like humble, radiant, and some pig so that Mr. Zukerman wouldn’t kill Wilbur for his Christmas dinner. Their friendship was so good because they were always there for each other and they trusted each other a lot. They would always help each other when they needed help or were having a hard time.

    Some of my friends are Sarah, Lauryn, Sams, Maryi, Niko, Airaa, and Samantha. I think friendship means that even if you hate someone and if you work with them for long enough and get to know them properly then you might realize that they are not all bad and slowly you’ll become their friend.

    • wuj says:

      Yes, friendships take a lot of work! Sometimes you go through some rough patches in a friendship but then you work through the problems together and you stay friends.

    • wuj says:

      YES!!! not all friendships are going to be only “Good” times, but in most friendships you do go through tough times and fight and all, but you are still there for each other.

    Tuesday June 16th 2020 homework.
    Charlotte’s web paragraph:

    Charlotte had a very good friendship with Wilbur. Charlotte saved Wilbur’s life, and Wilbur took great care of Charlotte’s kids. Charlotte’s friendship with Wilbur was good because they both trusted each other to do something for them. For example Wilbur trusted Charlotte when she said she was going to save his life, And Charlotte trusted that Wilbur would take good care of her children. A friend is someone who can be trusted and helpful.

  19. Niko says:

    Friendship is a very important thing. Wilbur and Charlotte’s bond was really strong that is why they really like each other. When Wilbur had no one too play with Charlotte would play with him because of that Wilbur made a friendship with Charlotte. Over the days Wilbur and Charlotte’s bond or friendship grew and grew. When Charlotte died Wilbur was going to stay with her because that is what friends are for.

  20. Casey says:

    Um…the movie isn’t even as old as me Mr. Wu…careful 🙂

  21. Russell Chan says:

    Wilbur and Charlotte are great friends even when Charlotte cares a little more and Charlotte even gave her life so Wilbur can live. Another great friendship is Wilbur and Fern because Fern also saved Wilbur from dying and raised him when he was a runt. I think friend means to or more people care for each

  23. TINA says:

    In Charlotte’s Web, Charlotte helps Wilbur by stopping others from killing him. Their friendship was so good because they cared for each other. They trusted each other because they believed in each other. they did help each other during hard times like when Charlotte was going to die, Wilbur took the egg sack. I think the word friends means having someone to talk to. My friends are kind and help me a lot. They are my friends because they play with me and trust me. Friendship to me means to respect each other.

    • wuj says:

      Yes, respect and trust is a major thing in a friendship. When you know that someone has your back when you are happy or sad or angry then that makes you happy to explore new things and make mistakes.

  24. Their friendship is so good because they’re friends and friends never leave unless there mean. Also, Charlotte saved Wilber’s life that’s the main thing that brought them together. They trusted each other because when Charlotte was in trouble Wilber was always there for her. I would trust my friend but if I know their lying then I would not trust them. They helped each other because friends will help their friends out no matter what. I would help them out just to be nice, you know if you saw someone in great pain and no one to help them would you do that? The word friend means so much to me because if friends would not be a word then everyone will get bullied and lonely and I don’t want to be lonely. I have some friends Russell, Niko, Logan, Evan, Adain and Roman. I have friends because I’m funny, not mean, and a good friend.

      I think you’re a great friend to the boys because you’re funny, cheeky, and have lots of energy just like the boys
