January 14 Journal

You have 20 minutes in Study Island today to get rid of the red triangles. Don't forget to get the submissions done on Special Day and finish up any outstanding essays (remember you should have 9 essays total). Also please remember that you only have today, Wednesday, and Friday and then the quarter is over (you have Art next quarter). Shoot to meet your targeted grade goal (A, B, C).


  1. According to Chinese New Year legend, a person should clean their house thoroughly before the New Year so misfortune will be cleaned away to make room for good fortune. Do you think this can work? Explain.

  2. Describe what your life would be like if you were a book in the library.

If I were a book in the library then it would be day after day of no one picking me up because people don't read like they used to. I would also probably be banned for whats in my book.

My life in the library would be like " hay fellas, party on my ile tonight when everybody's gone."

What my life would be like if i was a book would be horrible. The reason it would be horrible is because i will be going up and off of shelves. Going to peoples house's that I dont even know and they might treat me bad. I will be thrown off of things and be sat, kicked, and walked on by mostly everything. Those are the reason my life would be horrible if I was a book

I think that by cleaning your house before new years that you cold have good fortune the next year. By cleaning your house you would feel better and when you feel good you have good luck. also you will have more time to have fun.

No, I do not think cleaning your house before New Years will make room for good fortune. I do not believe in that stuff.

If I was in a book in the libary and my life would be....like that I fell in love with a fine boy I was the popular girl in my school had a lot of friends. The book would also be about me haveing a big party at my house and everybody came over. My house was huge because my family was rich. We traveled al around the world. Then I got my dream job. Then in the in the middle of the book when I go to 9 grade that every thing changed I had no friends o boyfriend and no parys and we were broke. Then at the end when I go to 10 grade we have a lot of money and we have a big house and we are rich again I have the boy of my dreams and I have a lot of friends and we travel all over the world and we have 10 cars and 5 bathrooms and 6 rooms and 2 living rooms and 4 kitchens and a big yard with a underground pool and I have a BIG ROOM and Then I would have to plan a big prty and it would be good and That s was my book would be about.

My life would be tremendiously boring if I were a book in the library.
