We Are Passionate Fourth Graders!

Hey Fourth Grade, this past Friday, you truly demonstrated what it takes to be passionate! The whole Graded community is proud of your Maracujá learning journey.

We encourage you to continue developing your interests, so that they ignite a passion within you to learn...

        3. I used to think Maracuja was explaining what your passion was and showing your passion in front of other people, but now I know Maracuja is learning more about your passions and what they mean to you. Not only that, but learning about the process of how a passion begins and researching about your passion and how it helps you as well as others. Also, Maracuja is about pushing your thinking further, organizing yourself, and being responsible. I know this because I have been through all these steps of Maracuja, and I have done all the steps of the process.

        4. I used to think Maracuja was a project. But now I know that it is you passion and you have to use your voice. Because when I presented, people ask me questions and I used my voice to answer them.

        5. I used to think maracuja was a project to work with a partner. But soon, I started to understand that maracuja was a time to express yourself. In other words, you can finally reveal who you are to the world. I can know understand this because after all the fridays lots of people would come up to me saying "what is your passion?". This is showing that people were interested in what your passion was not a partners.

        6. I used to think maracuja was just finding something i liked and just search aboute. But now i know that maracuja is having a passin something that i love to and research aboute that topic and try find away to improve my self and to learn how to teach others what i been searching aboute. This shows that maracuja can help me in many diffrent ways and it can help some one improve.

        8. I used to think Maracuja was only making posters and present. But now I know Maracuja is a way to show your passion and show how you feel about it, because we showed what we did. For example when we did our parkour clinics.

        10. I used to think maracujá was only a school project you write about and make posters but now i think maracujá is something that makes you explore your passion and work about something you like, something you would put a lot of effort to it.

        12. I used to think maracuja was making a PROJECT about what what you want to do and like to do, but now i think maracuja is being passionate about yourself and discovering more about your passion, and finally on the last day presenting what you have got so far. I know this because after all these months of working and discovering I have realized and discovered more about my passion... Composing Music!

        13. I used to think that maracuja was when you go practice something new but now i know that maracuja is sharing your passion to every body and you might get better at your passion. an example of this is you share your passion with someone and they get inspired so then you can get better also they share it with other people.

        14. I used to think Maracuja was just telling what your passion was and just do it. But now I think Maracuja is researching things so you could find out what your really passionate about And not just follow it in 4 grade but for the rest of your life, I know this because that´s all about maracuja, thats your process!

But know I now maracuja is not a project and It it is a way of showing others what you really care and that maracuja means passion. This shows that we had to do lotś of reaserch to find out what was our passion and at the end we presented.

        18. I used to think maracuja was learning more about your passion because in the start we were just writing about our passion and searching for more info about it so thats what I thaught it was. But now I know that maracuja is talking to teachers to help you make presentations, create movies, sing songs, practice dances, and much more. Also creating art like a water slide that someone did.

        22. I used to think Maracujà was a program that I would get nothing out of, or just a sweet yellow fruit. Now I know Maracujà is a program that you can change the world with. You can be amazing, explore yourself and your passion, and be Maracujà. I know this because I experienced Maracujà and I can know how amazing it is. Keep on going 4th grade!! We are Maracujà!!! Expect more!

        23. I used to think maracuja was doing what you love but now I know maracuja is sharing what you love to the world and you don`t need to be perfect in your passion because that`s what maracuja is for, to grow in your passion, I know this because I have gone through this. Your passion is what makes you special and what makes you different from everyone else.
