Today was a really fun activity day. We had to do an " All about Me" person of our self. We had to choose one thing that we loved the most, and give five reasons why we loved that particular thing. I love shopping it is one of my biggest hobbies. I love to go shopping it allows me to forget about everything. It makes me focus on clothes, accesories and shoes which I love. I love to go shopping because I get to spend time with my friends and sisters. I love trying on everything I pick out. I think it's fun when I try on stuff and I ask friends how it looks and they say "fine, just hurry up, you take so long".

" Shopping is my hobby"

I go shopping to have fun,

shopping makes young peole bond,

walking, talking, giggling people,

noisy, happy, rushed, sober people,

anxious, excited, quiet people,

people's people

walking by so many doors,

makes me walk into all the stores.

Shopping is my hobby,

but at the end I find my self at the lobby.

!!!!!!WRITTING IS A PROCESS!!!!!!

Writing is really important, but it is not just as simple as it sounds. Writing contains many characteristics which some people may not know. Writing is a PROCESS. This PROCESS contains five steps to end up with a great paper or any writing. The steps are the following:

1. PRE-WRITING: which organizes your thoughts, it is something as simple as semantic maps, organizers, and charts. These must contain Narrative, Persuasive, Describing, Expository information.

2. DRAFTING: is the sloppy copy (rough draft, first copy), this is when you put thoughts on paper, it is the content.

3. REVISING: this is where you change, add, or delete sentences, content and ideas.

-writers workshop

-partners( 3 )

-always have a second preferably third opinion on your paper, not only yours.

-word choice: try to transition words looking up in the thesarus.

4. EDITING: are conventions, spelling, capitalization and punctuation.

- revise on thing at a time

-show it to others

5. PUBLISH!!!!!! : this means your done........put it on walls, give it to friends, and let others see it .

!!!!!! If I won $$ 1 $$ MILLION Dollars !!!!!!

If I won ONE million dollars I would be the happiest person in the universe. If I won this big amount I would use it wisely. One of my greatest dream is to help others that are in need. I would first help children and people that need food, a roof, clothes etc. I think helping the people that need help would make me so happy. I think no one deserves to live in poberty, that is so sad and I think that if I was in their place I would like other people to help me. I would help ophanages, societies that help kids, adults and elderly in need, and schools with low income problems. I would also help my family if their in problems or need money for things they lack. Then after I did all this, with what ever is left I would take a little vacation. I have always dreamed of going to hawaii. I would love to see the beautiful sea, sand and sunset. I would like to meet people from hawaii and interact with them and their life style. While Im over there I would also like to go on a cruise to explore the entire hawaii state. These are my biggest dreams that if one day I would win ONE million dollars, there the first things that are going to come to my mind.

Blog #2 Circular Stories

Circular Stories are really fun to read. I can't think of any kid that doesn't like to read these kind of stories. A circular story is basically circular sequencing, where the plot is linked so that the ending leads back to the beggining. We can call it a "chain".
When using this method of circular sequencing, we can have more students doing their work, listening and even be interested in what is going on in the classroom. For example if you tell the student to read and he/she does not want to, we as teachers should let them know the consequences of not doing their work. Students then will understand that if their not willing to do what is asked by the teacher they may face different consequences such as, not passing, getting a bad grade, no recess, no activities, etc. When the students understand, they'll want to read and do a great job because no student wants to be left out in any activity or be held back a grade. The student then will want to do its best to be an outstanding student.
There is many ways to make reading fun......One of many is to encourage the student to read the title before starting and look through the book by flipping the pages. I think this will keep the students really interested to read the book and see what it is about. Also choose some fun activities to go with the book, ask them for feedback, ask questions about story. There is so many ways to keep students motivated to read. I think reading plays a really important role in a childs life.
