April 22 Journal

Hi. Mr. Sartain is not here today, so I am subbing in the office. Please be on your best behavior- I have the webcam set up.

Today we have a few things to get done. First, you must finish your "Special Day" essay. If it is not done by the end of today a zero will be issued. Second, work in Study Island and get those blue ribbons! Don't forget you should be using your notebooks for notes and use the word wall. Third, you have a poem to work on today. The poem is due on Thursday. It must be posted on the blog for credit. All the directions for the poem are on the link under this posting.

Remember to behave since I would be the person processing your referral today.
  1. "A penny saved is a penny earned" are famous words of Benjamin Franklin. What do you think he meant? Do you agree?
  2. Today is Earth Day. What are four things you can do to help our planet?

He meant that every penny you save
you will end up with more pennies
every day.I do agree with this
because by the end of the year you will have earned more money then you started out with.For earth day you can:
* Plant a tree
* Recycle
* Dont litter
* use as less energy as possibly possible.

I think a penny saved is a penny earned i think that they are talking about if you put you money in the bank and they give you interest and i also think this means that the money you save is the money you earn and you can do what ever you want to do with that money you earn. i agree that what what ever you save is what you earn.
#1: Not littering
#2: Recycle
#3: stop poluting
#4: clean the streets
But all the bad things that i had listed i'm not saying that i do and of that

Since today is Earth Day I plan to make sure that my family recicles. Another thing I will do is to switch my regular light bulbs with the energy saving ones. Then I will make ure that the rooms with no one in them has their lights turned off. And finally I will go out in my community and pick up litter.

Sadness

I saw sadness clearly
In peoples faces
waiting to be pleased
I saw her sad face
her eyes and pale skin
I herd her saying sad things
and she made me sad to.
