Feb 14 Journal
Happy Valentine's Day. I am glad you are all here. Today work in Study Island for 30 minutes. I am going to review quickly after that steps 13, 14, and introduce step 15. Then, you will have the remainder of class to work on your essay. Hav a great day!
I would rather ride a Ferris wheel for several reasons. First, I have a vivid memory of bumping my head on a roller coaster when I was eight years old. Also, I have a phobia of falling, and the slow descent of a Ferris wheel is easier for me to handle than a fast rush. Happy Ferris/Valentine's Day, everyone!
ReplyDeleteid rather ride a roalercoaster becuse its faster and higher and hasmore thrill to it.
ReplyDeletei would rather ride a roller coaster even though i am afraid of them but with the ferris wheel i have had a bad expirence with when i was little i was kind of scared but roller coasters are really fun and i like them
ReplyDeleteI would want my gift to be books or music; something that shows the anonymous giver knows me. To find out who gave me the gift, I'd look through the gift and see if anything in it reminded me of anyone I knew, and if it did, then the person who it reminded me of might be the person who gave it to me.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to receive a special gift for Vanlentines Day i know i would recieve it from my girlfriend Natalie. I would know it was her for several reasons. Not because shes predictable but because she really likes to give out special gifts to people.
