Thanks for your feed back Dr. Frye.  The comment I was talking about was the very last page of Amelia holding the good and bad baskets.  Her reflection of the year ended up being a surprise to her.  I would tell my students that unless we look back or reflect we will never learn and grow as better people.  I would explain to them it didn’t kill Amelia to write her notebook.  She learn a lot and is even excited about writing one next year in 6th grade.
