February 26 Journal

I'm glad you are here. You are working on Study Island for 15 minutes, then moving into speeches, and then finishing up the Gettysburg Address.


  1. Imagine that you are a shark and all the other fish in the sea are afraid of you. What would you say to convince them that you are really friendly?

  2. Write a poem that describes how you feel about winter.

I and winter dont get along
Its so cold and so much snow
every time I look I have to blow my nose
The winter is my worst season of all
I cant go outside to play ball.

It's snowing out.
The sky is white.
No one is around.
It's a beautiful night.
Walking through the snow.
It's peaceful as can be.
No cars are on the road.
Everyone's home with thier families.
It's quiet.
Time has stopped from where I stand.
I'm alone.
I love this winter wonderland.

I would not say anything to the fish since they are afraid. since the shark is mean anyway.

If I were a shark, I would tell the other fish that I only ate the evil fish. I'd be the shark hero.

What i would say to the fish is that im vegetarian so they won't think ill eat them...

If I were a shark out in the sea, I wouldn't want the rest of the fish to think I was not friendly. I would tell them that "fish are friends, not food" like the shark in "Finding Nemo" told Nemo's dad when they were having one of their meetings. I would also tell them that I was a vegetarian and that I only eat plants and not animals.

winter snow, cold and wet. everyone hates soggy shoes, is what I bet. winter, to me, is not much fun, I'd rather be out, in fall's golden sun. winter sky, the bright brilliant blue, is the only good part of winter, for me and you.

Winter is the coldest season of the year. Everyone who gets out of school say hurray with cheer. Some people hate because of the snow. Some like because it will show that something is beautiful outside.

How I would convince all of the other fish that I am really friendly is to play with the fish. To help them on what they need.

I will not eat you i just want to talk with you
