October 9 Journal

Good morning. When you are done with your journal you will have 30 minutes in Study Island and then I want you to move into My Access for the remainder of class. Remember you need to read the Mars article and do the graphic organizer before you begin writing the letter to the President.
  1. Fire Prevention Week is celebrated in October. Write a paragraph convincing someone to install fire detectors and to check them regularly.
  2. October is National Roller Skating Month. Imagine that you find a card tucked in a pair of skates that says "To scale (climb) the sides of buildings, touch your nose. To fly, tug your ear." Write about what happens next.

I would like to have people to come in and check the fire things and check them all the time. Just in case we do get a fire we will be ok and safe.

If people woulkd have the fire prevention stuff, then evryone would be safe. Without the smoke detectors, we probably couldn't tell when a fire was happening until it was too late.

Fire detectors are very important when a fire is starting.Because they start automatically and let the school krow there is a fire. Also if someone can't make it to a fire alarm, the detecters will take care of that.

You should really think about putting fire dectiors in your house because its very important to you and your whole family. Fire dectors save many peoples lives each year, wouldent you want you live to be saved by just putting up a fire dector and checing it reguraly. These are very good inventions, make use of them.

You sould install fire dectors in your house. You could be sleeping and not know there was a fire. It makes it so you know faster and can get out faster. You would not want to die because a fire. This is why you need a fire dectors.

When I saw the stange pair of skates I was a little shocked. But why would I ever even think about doing half of those things. I just ignored the note and skated the whole day. After a while though I started to have a runny nose, when I wiped it suddenly the skates shot me pon top of a building. Curiously I tugged my ear and shot three feet into the air. I learned I could control how and where I flew. I made sure to keepthese skates for when I might need them.

I am writing to convince you that you need a fire alarm installed in your home. It would be nice for you to do this because you need to know if there is a Fire. It also helps when you are sleeping and dont know if there is a fire or not. There are many houses without fire alarms that have aleady been burned down. which is why im informing you now to get one at a local hardware store c[=

What if we dont have fire detectors and theres a fire going on when were asleep where not going to know about it and we can get stuk in the house because w]once we relize thers smoke there will not be no were to go because the hallways and etc are going to be buring. For our saftey I do think its a good idea to have detectors.

the next one would be " to stretch as long as possible touch your lips." and so the card woud say "to climb the sides of a building touch your nose, to fly tug your ear, and to stretch your body as ar as it can touch your lips.

Dear Fire Department,
By it being fire prevention week you should install fire detectors where needed. To prevent something from happening. By the way you should check them regularly to make sure they're working properly, because if not you can be held responsible for the death or deaths of people. so please do us all a favor I mean I know for a fact that no one wants to die at a young age without having a chance to live their life, imagine yourself in a situation like that and something bad goes wrong because of careless attitude be considerate on how all of us feel.

Sincerly, Alexis

Everyone needs fire detectors in their home. Fire detectors tell you when it's not safe to be in that area because of fire. Everyone should keep a fire detector in every room of their home. Please people be smart and get fire detectors in every room.

Why should we have smoke dectectors? We should have smoke dectectors because if a fire is nnear the smoke dectecton can warn you when there is a fire and it can help you save your life. So that is why it is important to have smoke dectectors in your house.

If there was a card in a pair of skates saying to fly tug your ear to climb a building touch your nose I would tug my ear. I would tug my ear because I woiuld love to be able to fly.

If I got a letter in my pair of skates after I did all that Then it would be go in the back room and ask for a job here and make the mangior say yes then go outside and to enjoy yourself on your new job try to fly and though a party thats what I will tell you to do if I had a note in my pocket . I think that would be very cool to get a note in your skates and read it to find out what happens next it would like a mystery you don't know what will happen next .

You need a firee becuase if a fire dectector in your home because if a fire starts up when you are sleeping you may not be completely awake or you may even be asleep. You need an alarm to wake you so mo you can get out of your home more efficently. Also if you are in a public place and a fire starts you usually can not tell because you are ot where the fire is actaully taking place but you would still want to get out of the building imeddiatly before the fire spreads. The fire detecter is their to help safe you from danger it is your choice to use it, but i would highly suggest buying and using a fire alarm system

You should install fire detectors in your house because if there is a fire in your house it starts beeping and you know there is a fire in your house.If you don't have a fire detector you might be sleeping and you won't know that there is a fire in your house.

I think that fire detetors should be installed if they haven't and they should also be checked more often because some of the batteries may not be working properly

If you have fire detectors in your house you can save yourself from a firey death of pain and misery. When you are sleeping and you cant smell the smoke from a fire the fire alarms will set off and wake you up to tell you to get your family and get out of the house and call 911.

It is important to have fire detectors so we can know when we need to get out of the place that is on fire. Also having fire rescue plans can help u remember the steps of getting out a fire safe. Leslie Maricela Muniz
