Partnership

How I would describe myself as a partner. What I think my partner thinks of me as a partner.

 

I would describe me as a very bossy partner, because if my partner has a bad idea I say no lets do this my way so we can get a better grade(it turns out my way does not always get a good grade).I would also describe myself as a very smart partner, because I always find ways to help my partner understand what we are suppose to be doing.

Manners

I think that this project will effect many people with manners. After this project is done I think  that people will still be polite and use these manners.Who knows maybe the school soon be a very excellent school with the manners.

Someways manners have effected me is that I get more respect from people.Also I get comments about how much manners I have. Another reason manners have effected me is that manners can get me some more people to like me than what people do.

Someways manners have effected me bad is when I am really rude people make comments like where is your manners?! Then also when I am mean to of  classmates and I don’t use my manners  my classmates don’t want to be my friends. Another way manners have effected me bad is that people expect me to use them all the time.

Letter to Mr.McGuire

11/18/10

Dear Mr. McGuire,

In The Reading Workshop we had to write a letter to Mr.McGuire about why we like our book.Also we had to tell why we liked it and examples from the book. I loved this book and now i just have to finish the series.

You have already read this book called The Spiderwick Chronicles, The Field Guide. I really like this book and I bet you did too. The reason why I like this book is because I like adventure books. I would say this is like an adventure book because they go around finding a lot of stuff like the book.

I like this book because I think it is funny. This book is funny because they think that there is a squirrel in the wall. Also another reason why the book is funny is because when Mallory wakes up one day all of her hair was tied in a lot of knots and she said to just chop it off. Another reason why I think that this is funny is because all three of the kids find this hole in the wall, and when their mother came back home Jared was stuck up in the hole because his mother didn’t know he was up there.

Another reason why I like this book is because I can relate to the book in a lot of ways, like when Jared, Simon and Mallory heard noises in the wall. That is like the time I hit the wall and scared my little sister. Also it was like the time my little sister hit her softball bat and hit the wall and scared me. I can also relate to the book because when Jared finds the book and the notes I would say he is the most adventurous,in my family I have always the most craziest and the most adventurous.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my letter. I am positive that when you read The Spiderwick Chronicles, The Field Guide that you loved it because I know I did.

Sincerely,

Ashlee Justice

Boys think they know it all,

Boys think they are the best of all,

Boys think they are in control.

Boys think that they are cooler than us girls.

Well boys us girls got news for you, you’re not any of these things you know that girls are cooler, smarter, best of all and in control.

Me and the main character

In the book called  Notes From The Dog there is three main characters Matthew, Dylan & Finn. I  think I am more like Dylan. Dylan is a dog.Me and Dylan are alike and different in many ways.

Me and Dylan are like because I like to write and he wrote a note.Another way that me and Dylan are a like is that Dylan likes to go where he is not suppose  to go. I did that quite a few times and got grounded.

Ways that me and Dylan are different is he is a dog and I am a human. Another way is that I talk a lot.Dylan can’t talk because he is a dog.  Also we are different because Dylan can’t walk on two legs. I walk on two legs because I only have two legs.

I spinning round in a Circle

I am spinning around in a circle

and my feet are getting sore,

and my head is starting to

spin

spin

spin

like never before ,

I am just a lot dizzier than before,

I am

dizzy

dizzier

really dizzy.

I can’t take this any more,

I am trapped outside

Spinning

…spinning

…spinning

…spinning door
