April 29 Jouranl
Good Day! I am glad you are here. Today you will work in Study Island for the first 30 minutes and then I am going to go over some academic vocabulary terms with you, we will pick topics and partners and review prompts. I really need for you to be present in mind and body today.
If I tried to get out of a tent in the mornig and the zipper was stuck I would poke a whole threw it to get out and try and fix it later.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be a bee in a flower garden because I love flowers and I don't have to worry about someone steppen on me .
ReplyDeleteI would rather be an ant at a picnic because i would be able to eat all the food i want and have some for the rest of the year to eat. and id have enough water to drink for the rest of the year too.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be a bee in a flower garden because if I where to be an ant I would probably die in a picnic.
ReplyDeletewhat happens next is we both try are hardest and it dosent come open if that was are last day of camping for the year i would rip it open and try to fi it when we go go home.
ReplyDeleteIf me and my friend were in a tent and the zipper was stuck I would try to open it again or rip the zipper off and buy a new tent. I wouldn't want to be stuck in a tent all day so I would do anything it took to get out of the tent.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be a bee in a flower garden because there's less chance that you'll get squished! How many people try to kill bees? (Not many, considering the fact that a lot of people are allergic!) How many people try to kill ants? People do it every day; they don't even think twice about it. Ants spend a lot of their life squeezing through risky opportunities. Bees can fly, and they take part in the majority of garden growth.
ReplyDeleteIf the zipper was stuck I would wait for a while and then try it again if it got to the point where I had been in there too long and I needed to eat or something I would rip the tent to get out
ReplyDeleteIf the zipper was stuck I would take something to cut a hole in the tent so I could get out yep.
ReplyDeleteWhat I think would happen next is that I would tell my friend to get something, so that I can cut where the zipper is and get out.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be a bee because they are more fun to be. Also because they will never die.
ReplyDeleteIf i woke up and my tent zipper was stuck. I would try a couple of times to open it and if it doesnt open. Then i would go in my bag and i will get a knife and just either cut the zipper off. So then i will be able to pull the left and the right side apart. So then it will be open. Or i would judt take it and cut a big whole in the tent. And then just go buy another one.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be an ant because I like to eat. I would be an ant as long as I don't get stepped on. Being an ant at a picnic would be fun because you get to sneak around and take food from other people. I would be like a secret spy.
ReplyDeletei would like to be a bee in a flower garden, because if i was an ant then the pinic would leave and then the food would be gone. if i was a bee with the flowers then the flowers would always be there and i could keep coming pack for food when i was hungry.
ReplyDeleteIf i was stuck in my tent because the zipper was stuck what i would do next is try and try to open it i know i would get mad but then i would try to see whats wrong with it if i wouldnt be able to open it then i would ask somebody else to help me with it. Thats what i would do if i was stuck with a zipper.
ReplyDeleteWhat happens next is that we both try to get out our tent. I would try to put a hole in the tent so that I can get out. because I would be hungry and hot,or I would see if someone is out there and try to tell them to try to open the tent or break the zipper.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be a bee in a flower garden because then you have less of a chance to live.The ant in the picnic could get stepped on and killed.Th bee could hide in a flower or it could fly away if there's any danger.
ReplyDeletei would rather be a bee in a flower garden because then i would be able to look at and smell the beautiful flowers.And i would also be a very pretty bee.
ReplyDeleteAfter the zipper got stuck i would keep moving the zipper up and down and till i got out and if that won't work i would get something to make a whole in the tent so i can get out.

ReplyDeletei would rather be a bee because they keep the pretty flowers alive.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be a bee because then i whe ouldn't die when someone killed me because i was in their food. I would have my own little paradise in the flower garden. Of course by collecting the pollen, i would be making honey and doing my job. I also like the yellow and black on a bee :D.
ReplyDeletei would want to be a ant because of the possibility of me getting into the picnic because i would smach on a peace of bread or apple or something...
ReplyDeleteI would rather be a ant and be at a picnic even though it's dangerous but I would be able to move.
ReplyDeleteif the ziper was stuck i would rip a whole through it and then i would get out and do what i need to do and then ask my friend for help, and if my friend does not help i would just probably try to fix it myself.
ReplyDeleteThen next you see a shadow walk in front of your tent. Then he goes to reach for the zipper when another noise happens outside. then he goes to see what it is and it ends up being a bear. The shadow runs away but you got the bear to handle now. So you start to make alot of noise and the bear gets scared and runs away. Then all of a sdden the zipper gets unstuck and you run for help.
ReplyDeleteIf I went camping with a friend and I couldn't get the zipper
ReplyDeleteopen I would panic for like 10min
then I would tell myself to calm
down. After I would of told myself to calm down then I would of start
looking for a knife because you suppose to take a knife with you just in case something pop off and I would of start cutting it.
If the zipper was stuck
ReplyDeletei would rip a hole an d patch it up later
I would want to be at a picnic because I love when I am out side.I like to eat outside and enjoy the weather.I would not want to be in a grenn house because it is too cold in there.When I am in a green house I got so cold.
ReplyDeleteMy zipper is stuck and all I do is wiggle it so it gets unstuck.But then a bear comes so i just stay in my tent and sleep until the bear is gone.
ReplyDeleteI woud be an ant because i could take food from the picnic.
ReplyDeleteIf the zipper on my tent was stuck I would try to get it unstuck so I could get out.If that didn't work I would get a pair of scissors out and start cutting myself out.Then when I would get out,I would fix the whole and the zipper so I get in and out without getting stuck in it again.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be an ant becuse i can go arund the food and eat it and no one will catch me.I would rather be an ant because i can do what I want.
ReplyDelete......So I wake up and the zipper is stuck! I would roll around and then I would get a sharp object and then cut a line big enough for me to get out and go the rest of the day!
ReplyDeleteI would reather be a Bee in a flower, becuase the flower whould small nice, i get good pollen,and a nice place to sleep!
ReplyDeleteIf I was out camping and the zipper got stuck I would try to get it unstuck or I would try to use something inside the tent to help me get out.
ReplyDeleteI would first wait till my friends wake up.Then when my friends are up we would think of something to do about it.We would say that we will try to open it if that dont work we would try to rip it open cause I will not stay in their for a day.
ReplyDeleteI will rip the tent and go to the store and buy a new one. Then I will continue my trip.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be a bee in a flower garden because I cant get hurt by other things or people. Instead I could hurt them but I realy wouldn't.
ReplyDeleteI would try to zip it back up but go to the bathroom then zip it up
ReplyDeleteI would be a bee because an ant eats mostly anything and can get steped on quicker.
