Restorative Circle Reflection

 The circle works by having everyone speak on behalf of something but need to wait there turn and to be handed the talking piece. Positive things in the circle are people staying quiet and listening to others while waiting there turn. Also people have participated without any problems. Negative things in the circle are people talking when not supposed to and disrupting others. Also people have been using there phones when that was an agreement we determined not to use. Our circle sometimes have a good experience and not because we learn something new every time and we somethings have fun but not all the time because of disturbance and the opposite. I think we should not have weekly circle because most of the people don't even say anything and it gets boring most of the time and barley people pay attention,but if we continue them then we can make them better but being respectful to others and actively listening and speaking more.

Researching Two Wind Instruments




In This Assignment,I am researching two wind instruments. The Instruments are Alto Saxophone and Trumpet.


 ALTO SAXOPHONE:This Instrument belongs to the woodwind family.It produces sound by pushing air into the mouthpiece,the moving air causes the reed to vibrate at that same frequency and a pitch to sound.
It is made of brass and metal.Charlie Parker is a famous Saxophone Musician 
and plays Jazz.I like this instrument because i like the sound of it     when you play it and it looks cool.You can listen to him at him at

TRUMPET:This Instrument belongs to the brass family.
It produces sound by blowing air through closed lips and making a ''buzzing'' sound into the mouthpiece and starting a standing wave vibration in the air column inside the trumpet.It is made of metal and brass.Louis Armstrong is a famous Trumpet player.He played Jazz.I like this instrument because it sounds nice and smooth.You can hear him play at
