Week of Respect

Hi I'm Abby C. Connors and here is my first paragraph.

     Respect is important in our school.  We should be nice to our teacher.  Don't interrupt the teacher or principal.  You should not ever hit your classmates or punch them!  It is very bad!  Never disrespect your school.  It will hurt your school's feelings.  Respecting your body too is important.  I hope you always show respect in your school too!

Snow, Snow, Go Away! Come Again Another Day.

Hi I'm Jackie Frost and here's the local weather.

     The snow in Absecon was big!  The snowflakes came falling down  so fast!  The traffic was very slow. They put salt on the road but that did not work. Then the car accidents came. It was so cold! It was only 20 degrees! I do not want this storm to come back.

Book vs. Movie

Hi I'm Patrick Persuasy and here's what I'm thinking.

     I think Click, Clack, Moo the movie was better than the book.  The movie had a lot of extra parts  and you can actually see and hear Farmer Brown's voice.  In the book, there are pages, but in the movie the characters are moving.  Its animated!  I think the movie is way better than the book.

Snow Rocks!

Hi I'm Jackie Frost and here's the local forecast.

Guide Dogs

Hi, I'm Young McDonald Junior and here's another report on the animals.

      There are many awesome things about guide dogs. Guide dogs are used around the world for people that are blind. There are many different kinds of guide dogs. They are Labrador retrievers, German sheperds, and golden retrievers. When the dogs are puppies, they live with a good family. Then, when the dog is old enough, they go a special place to train for being a guide dog. Next time you see a blind person, don't laugh. Think what they go through and how important the guide dog is.

Lego My Legos

Hi I'm Harry Whodini and here are some facts about legos.

   Legos come in many different colors. You may see them in Target or at the Lego store. First they were made out of wood. Then they were made out of brick.  Now they are made out of plastic. Legos are a fun toy to build with.

Inside Out?

Hi I'm Patrick Persuasy and here's what I think.

The playground is better than inside recess because at outside recess you can play what ever you want, even wallball.  You also can have a lot of more fun than inside recess. That's the reason you should persuade your teacher to always go outside.

Play Ball!

Hi I'm Brady W. and here's another sports report.

My favorite sport is baseball.  in baseball you can have a lot of fun. You need to practice a lot.  Then you can hit the ball very far.  You can be in the outfield and catch the ball.  That's why you should play baseball.

It's Wabbit Season!

Hi I'm Young McDonald Junior and here's another report on the animals.

A rabbit could be our class pet.  Your pet's cage should be 4 times taller so they don't escape.  They need plenty of space to exercise and roam.  You can have more than one rabbit.  But if it is a boy and girl they will breed.  Rabbits  could be a good class pet.

Wizard's Challenge #1

A traveler comes to a riverbank with a wolf, a goat, and a head of cabbage. To his delight he sees there is a boat that he can use for crossing over to the other bank, but to his dismay, he notices that it can carry no more than two-the traveler himself, of course, and just one of the two animals or the cabbage. As the traveler knows, if left alone together, the goat will eat the cabbage and the wolf will eat the goat. The wolf does not eat cabbage. How does the traveler transport his animals and his cabbage to the other side intact in a minimum number of back-and-forth trips?

Go Fish!

Hi I'm Young McDonald Jr. and here's another report on the animals.

Betta fish could be a good pet for a classroom.  Betta fish can be housed solo in small desktop aquariums.  There are 25 different colors of Betta fish including the main ones.  A male betta fish often flares its fins when it feels threatened.  A Betta fish could be a good pet.
