January 29 Journal

I am glad you are here. This weekend you should have worked on your pretest. If for some reason your pretest is not done, you have today to complete it or it will go into the grade book as incomplete. If you haven't turned in your student information slip- do so now.
When you are done with your journal today you have two options: one- go and work in Study Island. Remember we are racing around the classroom and as of 8:23 this morning the 8th graders are in the lead; two- work in My Access and finish your pretest.
At our next class meeting, we will be starting the research paper (bring note cards).
  1. You've just spotted a wise old owl sitting in a tree. If the owl could talk, what three things do you think it would say to you?

  2. How are a bicycle, a car, and a scooter alike? Different?

A bicycle, car, and scooter are alike because at one time, someone will want one. When you're small and cannot ride a bike, you might want a scooter; once you know how to ride a bicycle, you'll want to have your own bike; and after you learn how to drive, you'll want or need a car. They all are modes of transportation. They are different because you want them when you are different ages. Bicycles, scooters, and cars all work differently; cars use motors, bikes use chains and pedals, and scooters use your feet.

The ways a bike, scooter, and a car are alike is that they all have wheels, they are all a form of transportation, and they can have an engine.
Some ways a bike scooter and car are different are that cars go the fastest, bikes can't use gas, and bikes have a form of exercise.

Well bikes,cars ,and scooters are the same if you think of it. They can all get you places and get you there quick.But they are also different, like a car is faster than a bike, and a bike is faster than a scooter. So those are the ways cars, bikes , and scooters are the same.

a bicycle,a car and a scooter are alike because they all can take you were you want or need to go. A bicycle,a car and ascooter are different because they are all moved in different ways. a car you need to push the gas pedal, a bicycle you need to pedal with your feet. To move a scooter you push your foot in a forward motion to move.

A bicycle, a car, and a scooter are alike and different in many ways. They are all alike because they are all a mode of transportation, they also have wheels. If for some reason the wheels start to not work then you can just change the wheels and everything is better again. There are differences between all of these things as well. For example some things are that they all go at different speeds. Another thing that makes them different is that they each have different amounts of wheels, the bicycle has 2-4 wheels the scooter has 2 and a car has 4.

A bicycle, a car, and a scooter have a few common elements, and a few differences. They are all ways of transportation. They all have wheels. There are also the differences that they have. Cars are the fastest way of transportation. Both bikes and skooters have two wheels, while as cars have four wheels. In the end, they are still all ways to get around.

A bicycle, car and a scooter are alike in many ways. One way would be they're both some thing you could use aws transportation. Also, they have wheels and you need energy in order to drive it. They're different because you can get to places faster in a car then a bicycle and a scooter.

If an owl could talk I would hope that it would ask me how I was doing, tell me his/her name, and finally tell me what it is like to be an owl after I've asked him/her that question. I think if an owl could talk it would be the best thing in the world.

A bicycle, a car and a scooter are alike because they all are all a way of transportation.They are all different because a scooter is standing and using your feet to move. A bike, you can sit on it and you pedal and it has a chain for it to work. A car is faster then the others ad there are more designs, and they use a wheel and it isnt exersise.
