Then it is my friend April’s birthday on Valentines Day, and then it is my sister’s birthday on the 23rd. After that in march my friend Haley’s birthday is on the 21st, she has the same birthday as my dog. I have to buy all of them some present but I don’t know what to get them I am getting my friend Karen a BIG heart sized lollipop, I’m going to get Jillian a stuffed animal, I don’t know what I’m going to get April or Rechelle, but I know I’m going to give my friend Haley a monkey phone case because she has not stopped complaining about her ugly phone case and she got a new phone that I used to have so it works out. I don’t know what I am going to give to my sister but I might get her some stuffed animals, chocolates, some clothes, and jewelry. i think this is one of my best writings because when i write about something that i know or that amuses me i can write more.

Today in science I learned about this fever, it was called typhoid fever. This cook named Mary spread it, when she would touch the food she made, she wasn’t sick with typhoid fever because her liver fought it but she was a carrier, she got it when she went to the bathroom and when she took a #2 she wouldn’t wash her hands. When some guy accused her of having she said she did not have it because she wasn’t sick but she did not know she was carrying it. i think this is one of my average writings it was really interesting and i liked learning about typhoid mary.

Today in math we took a big test I think it was a term test. When I was trying to answer some questions I barley knew and it was really hard but I tried my best Mrs. Garcia said she was going to give us time to finish it on Monday and check our answers. i think this is one of my worse writings because it is about a test and i don't like test.

3-25-14 One day I woke up at 5:30 in the morning. I turn off my alarm, I walk to the bathroom brush my teeth then do my business, after that I would look for my outfit that I would wear, get dressed then do my hair. I would look for all my supplies that I would need that I don’t have in my classroom already. After I have everything I would get my car keys and get my phone, I would make breakfast for my children, my husband, and I then my husband would go to work. I would make sure that my kids have everything for school then I would have to rush them in to the car tell them to buckle up, then I would drop them off at school.

I would arrive at school around 6:00; I would plan my lesson for the day, time would fly by, school starts at 7:45 and its 7:40. I let my kids come inside and them sit in their seats.

=I think the claim in the poem The Road Not Taken is that somtimes you should try new things and not follow peoples paths make your future yours not someone else's or i think the claim could be that you should take some chances in life because you never know whats ahead.=

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear, Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 1.16em;">Somewhere ages and ages hence: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 1.16em;">Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 1.16em;">I took the one less traveled by, <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 1.16em;">And that has made all the difference.

Period 7 Kassandra Padilla 1-23-13


 * Big In-class essay: ** In MS Word, describe the //traits// and/or characteristics from one of the main characters in //The Outsiders//. Begin with an adjective as your claim (smart, brave, supportive, upbeat etc.) and use specific evidence of what they say and do to support your claim. Finally, make connections between your claim and your evidence. Two full paragraphs

Ponyboy is pleasant. When he talked to the girls he had a different style then dally. He was different from dally because he was actually nice to the girls and he wouldn’t make them feel uncomfortable by talking about weird things or make them feel bad about themselves by talking trash about them. I think he was brave for talking to the girls because in the book it said he wasn’t like the other greaser boys he was shy and he didn’t talk to anyone.

12-8-13 =I think the theme of //The Pearl// is greed can take over you. I think this is one of the theme's to //The Pearl// because when kino had to find money because Cyotito got stung by a scorpion they asked the doctor to help them. The doctor wanted some money so they had to find a pearl after he found the pearl he thought about all the things he was going to buy with the money he was going to get. When Juana wanted to throw the pearl back in the ocean because Kino was getting too greedy, when Kino found out, he hit Juana she fell to the floor then he kicked her.=

=I thought this was the main idea because when kino and his family ran away from the village and when they were in the cave Cyotito had died because they had shot him. Kino and Juana were not aware he was dead until that morning. He killed the three people who wanted the pearl, he killed them so they would leave him and his family alone.=

11-20-13 i liked that it was a scary story and that it was about a kidnapping. i would have changed the run ons and i would have gone back and capitalized words and put periods at the end of sentences

<range type="comment" id="464267220_1">‍‍‍‍Why is bullying such a big problem?</range id="464267220_1">‍‍‍‍ <span style="font-family: 'GlyphaLTStd-Light','serif';">Studies say that children who are aggressive at age eight are more likely to be in criminal behavior and physically abuse their kids when they are older. As kids get older they don’t report bullying because they think they are snitching and they let the bully hurt the bystander. There are three thing to the bullying process there is the bully the person who is harassing the other kid, the victim the person who is getting harassed, and the bystander(s) the people who witness the bullying. <span style="font-family: 'GlyphaLTStd-Light','serif';">Bullying mostly occurs 6th through 8th grade. Teens think that teasing and bullying are bigger problems then aids or the pressure to try alcohol. People who get bullied are at risk for anxiety, depression, loneliness, unhappiness, and low self esteem.
