December 6 Journal

Hello. I am in the office today and Ms. Grey is in class to help out today. Ms. Grey will be scoring you with the rubric- don't worry I've gone over this with her.
You will be doing your presentations today after your journal. Good luck and I'll be watching you on my webcame.

  1. Imagine that one cold, dark evening, as you are curling up by the fire with a cup of hot cocoa and a good book, you hear a strange noise outside of your house. Do you go and investigate, or do you hide under a blanket? Explain what happens next.

  2. Pretend that you open today's newspaper and find a help wanted ad for Santa's workshop. Write Santa a letter convincing him to hire you to work in his workshop.

If I heard a strange noise outside my house, I would turn on the lights to show that someone is home and then check it out. If I saw someone, I would then hide in my house and call the police.

I hear a strange noise outside my house. The first thing I do is ignore it for a while. Then, if the noise continues, I'll call for my parents and let them investigate. When my parents come back, they'll tell me it was just the wind. Or was it?

Dear,Santa
I would love to be apart of the workshop staff and help bring Christmas cheer to the world.
I dont have any experience with making toys but I am open for lessons.I am good with my hands and I am quick so I can save us all time so we can have milk and cookie brakes.Well i hope you come to your senses and let me become apart of the workshop crew.
Sincerely Walton Stinson

one cold, dark evening, as I are curling up by the fire with a cup of hot cocoa and a good book, you hear a strange noise outside of my house. So,I go outside to see what was going on. I noticed there was something in the bushes. But what? as i get closer i realize it's.. it's..... it's.................... A KITTEN! A poor lost Kitten, cold and alone, was shivering in my bushes.
