WHO???

Meet someone
Today I want you to think about 2 people you would love to meet personally. Give me their names and why. You would tell their name and why you wanted to meet them. It could be a star or even a family member you never met, but you must tell me why?

example: I would have really liked to have met Abraham Lincoln, to talk about what he did for our country and the rights of our people.Helen Keller is another person who always amazed me. All she could accomplished even thou she had so many handicaps and obstacles.

America 9/11

Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. .
Proverbs are sayings with a message:

1. You can't judge a book by it's cover. (don't judge people by their looks)
2. You don't get something for nothing (You will have to work for your success)

write a proverb or saying you know, and give the meaning.

Pets are Great

Pets
Pets are very calming for some people. Many hospitals allow pets to come and visit patients that are scheduled for surgery to calm patients.
Pets also have jobs such as seeing eye dogs for the blind.

What is your favorite kind of dog? If you have a pet tell me what it is and what is his name. If you do not have a pet tell me about a family or friends pet.
BE DESCRIPTIVE when you describe your pet.
