April 17 Journal

I am glad you are here. Did you start working on your Special Day essay? If you have it with you in written form and need to type it- once you are done with your blog posting you may go to My Access and begin typing. If you are working on the essay at home, you may go to Study Island after you are done posting. Please remember the essay is due by Monday, April 21 (no excuses). I am in the office for Mrs. Baldwin today, but I've gone over everything with Ms. Shannon. I have my webcam set up, so I will know if you are off task. Please be on your best behavior.
  1. Imagine that you are walking through the park with your friend and you find a bag of money. Explain what you would do.
  2. List five things that you and your family can do to help the environment.

If I found a bag of money, I would look all over the bag for some time of label or name. I I didn't find anything throughout the whole bag, I would take it home to see what my parents would say to do with it. Honestly, it's hard to say what I would do. I mean, if I lost a big bag of money, I'd be pretty upset. So I think I would turn it in to see if anyone claimed it.

If my friends and I were walking down the street and seen a bag of money on the ground I would grab it and find who it belonged to. And if it didn't belong to anyone then we would spend every penny. >=')

Well i would first find all of the homeless people and get them to come with me and i would try to get them in a house. Then i would use the money to put some sports stuff in the community so that the kids would have something to do. After that i would make a big public building for every body that likes to swim and work out. And i would have workers going around every day to make sure that the community is clean. And every body is safe. So thats everything that i will do with the money.

Global warming is having a big affect on the aniamls and humans that live here. Some things that we can do to help the enviroment is to recycle. Re use your household items and just be eco- friendly in what you do.

I think the first thing I would do would be to give the money to the people who dont have alot of money.
The second thing I would do is to pay to get the all the parks fixed up and cleaned.
The third thing I would do to get the fields cleaned up by my house.
The forth thing I would do would be to is get the bike path fixed because there are alot of cracks in the side walk and its dirty.
The fifth thing I would to is to plant trees.

If I was walking through the park with a friend and found a bag of money I would most likely keep the money because most likely I wouldn't find who the money belongs to and if I tried to find the owner of the money lots of people would claim that it's theirs when it ain't even their money that is why I would keep the money instead of looking fo the money and that is what I would do if I found a bag of money but I would use it for good things although.

If me and my friend where walking in the park and we found a bag of money.frist i would look around and see if anyone was looking for something .and if no one was around i would share the money with my friend and go spend it.

If I found a bag of money in the park I would probably keep it just because I wouldn't know who it belonged to. It would really depend on how much money there was in the bag. If there was a lot of money and other valuable things in there I would probably ask people if it was their's, and just trust anyone who says it was their's.

If me and my friend was walking through the park and found a bag of money we would split the money in two ways. Or we can just spend the money together or I might just pay momma bills. I will go to the mall and by my little sisters some shoes and clothes.

If I was walking through the park and me and my friend found a bag of money I would split it with him. Then I would go home home and put half of the money in the bank. Then I would go home and tell my mom about it. After that I would go shopping with it. Then I would psy people to help clean up the community. Second I would pay for the roads to be fixed. Third I would pay people to put down grass and trees to make it look nice. Fourth I would make sure nobody litered anymore. Last I would pay for the palstics bags to be removed and buy bags you have to reuse so you wouldn't fond no bags on the street.
