One item that student should bring back to school is a pen or pencil. Its important to have a pen or pencial because you will need it for every class to ither do work or take a test. When you dont have a pen or pencil in none of your classes that means that you are not prepared for class and you will have to dristrect the class just to ask for a pen or pencil

One item I think every student should have going back to school is a laptop. I think students should have laptops because they help us get organized and there isn't as much writing and it wont hurt our hands as much. We also will get done with our work a lot more faster and we as kids will have more fun.

When I got into the water for the first time I could see that my surfboard on wasn't working wuite like a normal board. Every time I wvaught a wave it pushed me down with it. It weighted a ton it seemed. However I realized by the sudden glow that it had that all the waves stopped moving. It was like time itself wazs stopped. This surfboard was strange. Almost like... like magic.
At first, I didn't beleve that it was magic at all, but there was no excuse for how the waves just stopped moving on their own, I decided it was best to get out of the water, the second that the board touched land, the water started moving again and a big wave sent me to the ground where I dropped the board. The second that the board hit the floor all of the people, which nevr seemed to notice when the waves stopped, suddenly stopped moving themselfs. I picked up the board and they started moving again. This surfboard could stop tim itself when it touches something, and everything around it stops moing also. Just for fun I placed the board back on the ground and everyone stopped moving, again. This will be fun...

If i was taking my new surfboard out into the ocean and discovered it had special powers i would bet any one that they couldnt beat me in a battle with the surfboard an take all of there money. I would also keep trying to get into contest so i could have lots of money and become the best surfboard rider to ever live. So now u people know what i would do with the brand new surfboard that had magic powers.

I think that all students should have new cloths and new shoes.So that kids dont come to school looking like bum.Like when they got on new cloths but some messed up and nonmatching shoes.

One item i think students should have when heading back to school is everything. You should start a new school year with all of your supplies and stuff brand new. Its no fun to have your teachers yell at you because you dont have all of your school supplies

I would be using the surfboard to take me to florida and then go to a resterant and then go diving. The one all students should have when going back to school is a box of tissue because if your sneezing a lot you should blow your nose.

When I got out in the water with my brand new board I realized that it had magical powers. The way I realized this is I was hanging 10 and I was about to fall off when my feet stuck to the board. I was very greatful for this because I could have been seriously injured, or worse, killed. My second experence with my magical surfboard was when my friends and I where out there surfing again when suddenly I started doing all these tricks that I could otherwise never do. My friends where extremly impressed and wanted me to enter a surfing contest at the peir this weekend. I then told them that that sounded like fun and I would go for it, so my friends and I went to sign up. When the weekend came I was very nervous because I diden't know if my surfboard still had magical powers or if they had went away. They called my name, I knew it was my turn. I went out in the water at got on my first wave, the board wasen't responding to this. I fell and I was embarresed. I had lost the contest. Later that week I dicided to see if the board would work if I wasen't in a conpotition. It worked when I tried it and then I relized it wasen't the board it was me with the encouragement with my friends.

As I out to the water I relized that my surfboard had magical powers.When I began to paddle I noticed that at the back of my surfboard there was electronic paddles that were waterproof.I was amazed at what I seeing.

I imagine i am taking my surfboard into the ocean for the first time.I imagine that I will soon find out the powers my surfboeard has.Some powers that my surfboard would have would be it can talk and tell me how I should surf, and what turns they wantme to make.My surfboard would also occasionally do it's own stunts.I would hope that my surfboard would do stunts that would make me look good on my surfboard.

i feel that one item that student have in school is you need is all your school supplies because if you dont then you will have to ask the them to give some thinhgteacher or some one for something and they might not want to give you anything. but the teachers are the worst is when the teachers get all mad because i dont even know why but i know they do. for example if you ask them for a pen or pencil they with start freakin out and you have to pay or you have give them something.

When I was using my surfboard, it started to float above the water. My surfboard is magical! I started to do a lot of tricks and I could shoot lasers. I could be like that guy from the movies, that could do stuff. I could really go around the world. That surfboard never returned again when I wiped outat the sea.

If I new that my surf board had magical powers I would enter in all kinds of surfing contests. If I didn't have any money I would enter in a contest that offered money to the winner. I would try to catch the biggest wave I can possibly catch.

on the frist day of school you should bring a pecil, paper so you dont ask no one to use a pecil or paper when the teacher is talking.

one item that I think most students should bring when to school the fist day is a notebook and pencil because most of the teachers ask to give personal information about our selves like for exaple your name,address,phone etc.

If I had a surfbord and it had magical powers the powers will be that if your not very good the surfbord will make you like an expert and everybody will get jelous. And if they tell you how you learned to ride like that you can tell them that a miracle happened when you were sleeping. Because that was your first wave you catched.

If I had a`magic surfboard I would try to do new thing on it like shove-its,or grinds on the wave.I would also try to get on bigger waves,get more offten to try to learn how to use good,and not take advangte of it.Then as I get better I would try to catcth bigger,waves like barrels,and maybe after doing it so much maybe I wouldn't need to be able to do that.

One item students should have when heading back to shcool is a pencil. I think they should have a pencil because teachers can give us paper but it makes them mad when we use their pencils because we don't give them back.

1 Thing you should have is a folder because you can put papers like homework. Another thing you should have is a pencil or a pen.
You always need a pencil because you need to write things with a pencil.

I think all students should have a binder that could have everthing fit in it so if you need anthing from binder press the top of binder
and it will open if you need anthing.

Every one thing that a student should with them at school is a good attitude. If you come in with a good attitude you will not all make your teacher happy but you make yourself happy. You can make yourself happy if you come in with a good attitude by not gettinng in trouble if your attitude is good. Also you will make your adviser happy because you won't have to go see her. Another thing is that you will make your princeple happy. So every body needs to come to school with agood attitude.

Myntopic is what item you should have at school. I think that everyone has to have a BINDER in school. If you have a binder you can hold your agenda,folders, paper, pencils, pens, and all your notebooks( depnding on your binder size), so it can hold a lot and store alot. If you didn't have one, then you would have to carry all those things seperatly. Thats why everyoneshould have a binder at school.

The experiences i would do is go surf boarding almost everyday. Also i would show all of my friends and let them try the surfboard out and see if they like it.I would let some of my friends use it to.

My topic is what you should have for school. You should have, some binders, folders, pencils, paper, notebooks, hiliters, bookcovers, you should also have some extra school suplys even if the school supply list says how many to bring. For example if the school suply lst says you should have 3 folders you should bring at least five.

One thing that every kid should have at school is a pensil. Every one should have a pensil so they can do there assinments,there for they can get good grades and they won't get grounded.

I think that students of all grade levels should bring a a binder to every class because you never know when you have to write something down or to find an assignment you need for class. I think it it also important to have a binder so you won't have to carry a millon things you can just put it all in your binder.

Anonymous said...

The one thing everyone in school should have a pencil. First, because you need something to write with when you go into your classes. Next because you need a pencil to do all your assignments. Lastly because a pencil is a writing utencil you need to write with for your work. That is why you need a pencil when you go into all of your classes and why you need a pencil for school.

Anonymous said...

the one thing that everyone needs back to school is a folder with pencils. You'll need them because you need something to hold ur stuff in an u need something to right with. if u didnt have these you wont be able to do almost anything at school. Almost every class u need a pencil. thats why i think a folder and pencil is the most important thing.

I would pick the one wiyh the magic surfboard. I would be very scared because it would be in the ocaen ,but it would mybe be fun. I never tried to surf but I would like to try. Then if I found out it was magic. I would join surf contastes, do magial things like do fips with out falling. Then I would be a magical girl. That would be so cool. Everybody would love me,and I'll be famous.

One item that students should have a pen or pencil.To me its the most valuable item of school to me.You are always going to need something to write with.You can use it almost for everything and thats a material that will be needed in every school.It's very useful in tests and other assigments.you use it at home,school,work, and even in a trip to the zoo.You are always going to need a pencil for everything you need to write with.
