April 10 Journal

Welcome back to the writing lab. I am glad you are here. Today I am going to review Study Island with you for about 5 minutes and then I will give you today to work inside the program and help you trouble shoot any questions. We are also going to have a quiz over the seven steps to making a blog/journal posting. Review your notes if you have to.
  1. National Siblings Day is April 10. would you rather be an only child or have siblings? Explain.
  2. The safety pin was patented on April 10, 1849. Write a story paragraph that ends with "That little safety pin saved the day!"

I would want to have siblings because I enjoy having the one sbling that i do have,my brother. Of course we fight and dont get along sometimes but aside from that i have a friend that i can always count on and when we do get along we have one of the best relationships ever!!

i would rather have a brother instead of being an only child so i would have someone to blame for stuff that happens instead of me always getting in trouble.

In honor ot National Sibling's Day, I would rather have siblings than be an only child. My little brother is a great kid even thought he gets on my nerves sometimes. Although he can be obnoxious, he can always make me feel better when he tries.

If i had to pick to be an only child or to have siblings i would pick to have siblings because this way you have family (siblings) to hang out with and for them to be there for you.
Even if you fight or argue you you know that they will always be there for you.
Another good reason to have siblings is that you might be able to have nieces or nephews, that a good thing.

I like having a sibling. Being an only child would not be very fun. I have a little sister that I can pick on all day. Sometimes it's fun to pick on her but other times it's just gets old. Sometimes I would rather not pick on her, but it's just too fun.

I would like to be the only child because i will get anything I want. but it's ok to have a sister because she is old and she could buy her own stuff.

I would rather have hsve siblings, like I do now,because then I would be bored at home. Another reason why I like to h I would have siblings is because if i didn't then I wou;ld have to do all of the house chores by myself. Now at home with my sisters we sharae the work. I also wouldn't havae any one to talk to at home, or to blame anything on.

I when like to be a only child because when your an olny child you get more things. But I when like a lil brother to play with outside and stuff.The safety pin is to hold things together. The pin can save the day.

I would rather have siblings because I would be lonely without them. If I didn't have siblings I wouldn't celebrate this holiday.Being an only child would be fun because then your parents spoil you. It's fun to have siblings.

I would rather have siblings which I do.Because it nice having a lil brother somebody that can look up to me.Also I still get what I wont and I love my lil brother but I dont mind having a sibling.

I would actually rather be a only child, because some kids. Get what ever they want and also they bascially get to have there own stuff. Without someone always wanting to take there stuff. Or something just comming up missing. Plus to me i think if im the only child i will be able to do whatever i want in not get in trouble. Only because i wont have a little brother or big sister to always go and tell on me or black-mail me if they want something. So i would rather be a only child.

i would like to have siblongs like i do now. Siblings are good to have around for help. They can help you with chores,and blame them for things you did. They're also good to have around for company.

Once upon a timr there was a little saftey pin and it had all of these heroic powers. It was always there when somebody needed a hand. So one day I was in trouble and I just didnt know how I was going to get myself ooutt of it. So I tried to just run away from my problems and never face them. I had borrowed $45 dollars from someone. But I didnt have a way to get the money back so I just dodge them everytime they called I wouldnt answer when I seen them I went the other way. So one day they finally caught me ad I diint know what was goin to happen. They kept asking me where was there money but I just didnt have it. Then they told me that they were going to beat me up if I dodnt have the money in 2 hours. So about 2 hours later I seen them I tried to run but the caught me ann I still didnt have the money. So as they were going to hit me a little saftey pin came. He said is there a problem and they told him that I owed him some money so the saftey pin gave him $50 dollars and told him to get on. Then he told me never to borrow money if I couldnt pay it back. And that is when the little saftey pin saved the day.

I would rather be an only child but at the same time I rather have my siblings because it wouldnt be the same without them.For me being an only child will be so hard because I'm used to dealing with my two brothers and they can be fun when they want to be.

I sometimes would like to be an only child because my 23 and 25 year old brother boss me around alot. My 11 year-old sisters annoys me a lot, and that makes things worse. I do like my siblings though. I love them as they love me even though they are a pain sometimes. :D I like their company a lot too.

I would rather have siblings because when you're an only child you don't really have anything to do because it's only you and you're things ,but when you have sibling you can actually share your stuff and you're never lonely.Also when you're an only child you get bratty because you get everything you want and you're not used to sharing.

I would rather have siblings than to be an only child.I love having siblings...sometimes! But if i was an only child I would be so bored. My sisters are bothering sometimes, but I am happy I can lean on them all the time no matter how mad we are at each other. I also like to vent stuff to my older sister and I love when she vents to me, she also makes me feel so safe.
