Ben's Spring Break
I can not wait till spring break. My friend Chad is coming to spend a night. To begin with my friend Chad will like our house because downstairs we have lots of fun things to do! We can play awesome games all day and night. I like the games Chad plays because his games are fun. His games are like star wars, fighting and monster hide and seek. Sometimes monster hide and seek is scary for me.
Another thing I’m exited about spring break is that Chad and I can finally sleep in! Well because my brothers are sleeping up in the living room and there is no more school for a week! After we get up we will get dressed, eat breakfast and go play some more awesome games!
That is what I am going to do this spring break.
Jacks Spring Break
My spring break is going to be awesome. I am going to Harry Potter land!
One of the things we are going to do is get my wand. The whole place is rigged so when I cast a spell and it’ll work. Like wimgardim leviosa it’s a floating spell. Whatever you point it at it will float. Going to the wand store will be the first thing we do.
The second thing we will do is to go to Diagon Alley! Diagon Alley is an alleyway for wizards! The wand place is there and they even cut hair at Diagon Alley! One of the reasons that I want to go to Diagon Alley is I want to go get the monster book! Even better it try’s to eat you but in the real world it just jerks and it looks like a monster.
The next thing I am going to do is ride the rides with my grandpa. There is this one ride that it looks like a 3D TV is in front of us and it shows Harry Ron and Herminie on broomsticks and makes you feel like you are flying all over England and the school grounds.
The last thing I am going to do is to go to see the castle. One of the things I am going to do is meet Albus Dumbledore! I want to go to the castle is to see all the rooms! I will fight the 3 headed dog. He is pretty big. His name is fluffy. But back to the point, one of the rooms I want to see all the dormitories. Another room I want to se the chamber of secrets.
So as you can see I am really excited about going to Harry Potter land!
Ellas Spring Break
By Ella Osborne
I can’t wait. It will be a fun time in Grand Coulee and at Apple-Achee. This spring break!
To begin with I will ride my horse with my friend at Grand Coulee so I can practice for the fair.
I haven’t been to Grand Coulee since last year’s spring break. I can’t wait to see my really good friend Austin. She did fair with me last year and this year she will be doing fair. She also went to the horse camp last year but this year she will not be doing the horse camp with me.
After Grand Coulee I will travel to Apple-Achee for a schooling show. A schooling show is a horse place. I’m not really sure what will happen because it is all brand new to me. In may I will go to the schooling show again with my friend Bailey she will take her new horse Gunner.
Apple-Achee is in Wenatchee. It is by Saddle rock. Appleachee is a horse practice arena for me. When I mean horse practice I mean practice with my horse. I need to practice keeping my toes up, and heals down, and to turn my feet in so I do not fall out of my stirrups. My dad and Aunt Sheri will be there to support me and help me and help me.
I will practice a lot. This practice is all for fair so I can get lots of ribbons. Bailey will be there at fair with Gunner. I can’t wait!! I have never done fair with Bailey ever.
Now you know what I am doing this spring break!!!
Johnna's Spring Break
Wow I can’t believe spring break is here. I’m going to Chucky Cheeses.
One of the things I’m excited about is getting lots of tickets. You are probably wondering why I’m excited about tickets. Well , if you get a bunch of tickets like me you will get a butch of prizes like a rocket that you can shoot up in the air. I really want to win the rocket prize. My big brother and I are going to have a contest who can get the most tickets. It’s going to be so awesome.
Another thing I’m excited about is that Joslyn, my best friend might come with us. We are going to stay up all night and have a gigantic pillow fight. When my dad is exhausted from all of our craziness, he will take us to the mall and we’re going to buy lots of clothes. It will be so much fun.
Well as you can see no one is more excited about this spring break than I am!! I can’t wait to go to Chucky Cheeses.

1,000,000
This is how I would spend my million
dollars. First I would buy a computer so I can get an E–mail address and play fun games on sties like Miniclips,
and Box10. Box10 is a cool game site but there are some games that are bad. On
this site there is the best game in the world. It is called strike force heroes!
I want to play this game so bad because I like games with guns and it has a
good song. Miniclips is an awesome game site because it
has lots of games but there is the best game ever called Commando Rush.
I would also like to get legos ,lots and lots of legos. I would get Lego cars. The Lego cars would look like regular
cars and I would build a Lego city for my Lego cars. I am going to need to buy enough legos to make
a city. The city would have broken trees, huge buildings, and swat team.
The final thing I would get is a
house made
out of metal. It would have a metal door and a voice
lock. The house would be protected with missiles just in case if intruders come.
My metal house would have a robot to protect the inside. The robot’s name would be cooldude406. He would be named that because
he would be cool. He would be cool because he could do tricks with a ak-47 and
with a shotgun Now you
know what I want
1,000,000
This is
what I would do with a million dollars. First, I would drive a tank . I
think that would be cool. I could be in the army like my uncle and papa. Next with my million dollars I would get a car. It would be an amazing, awesome car. I could
get a car of any kind but the one that I would like This is
what I would do with a million dollars. First, I would drive a tank . I
think that would be cool. I could be in the army like my uncle and papa. Next with my million dollars I would get a car. It would be an amazing, awesome car. I could
get a car of any kind but the one that I would like most is a monster truck.
When
I get older, I could fight with it and win the fight and enter a monster truck
race and be famous. The next thing I would do with my money travel to the
wonderful island of
Hawaii island of Hawaii
As you can see a million dollars would be gone
in no time.
most is a monster truck.

How I would spend 1,000,000
This is how I would spend 1,0000,000
dollars.
To begin with I would buy
a hunting
spot in central Wyoming. Hawaii
Friday, February 22, 2013
If I had a 1,000,000
If I had $1,000,000[t1] the stuff in this piece of
writing is what would spend it on[t2] . The first thing I would spend my money on is to be
in the army. I know it
sounds weird to say I would spend my money on being in the army but I would
spend my money on a plane ticket. I will make new weapons for them, I already
have the design and it will be called “The KILLER”.
[t3]
I would buy a really tough tank and put the KILLER on it[t4] [t5] [t6] would be indestructible because the
killer is on the tank.[t7] [t8] What
would I do with the tank you ask[t9] ? I will drive it
on city streets .I will help the army and shoot the killer and the place the 1,000 exploseve rockets lands [t10] will be a grave yard. I would shoot a machine gun with the permission of
the army. My signature gun is the m60 machine gun. Once I am[t11] done with my duty I[t12] would buy my tank that I invented and I would bring it home awesome.
The next thing that I would spend it on
is a SMART HOUSE! A smart house is like a slave. A SMART HOUSE
is so AWESOME and it has these keys that you talk into and it does what you say
and it does what you say exactly. It’s like a robot because A SMART HOUSE has
no feelings[t13] . After you buy a smart
house, I can’t explain it just the life! The first thing the house would do for me is pay my bills[t14] for a car
Now you know how
I would spend $1,000,000 on. I
would spend $1,000,000 on much more things but that is all I can fit in this
piece of writing.
[t1]This
is on the wrong side ..Should be $1,000,000
[t2]This
does not make sense
[t3]Get
rid of When...Just have I would buy a really tough
[t4]You
could put the word "It" here but it is boring. How about, This
massive piece of iron would be indestrucatble blah blah
[t5]Insetad
of saying on it say where you will mount the gun. For example.....I would buy a
really tough tank and weld the Killer onto the side of it.
[t6]Need
to finish thought
[t7]period
[t8]Capital
[t9]I
like the idea of a question here. It should sound like this... "What would
I do with a tank you ask?"
[t11]This
is not correct
[t12]You
need something like. Once I finish my duty in the army I would
.................
[t13]For
example...............Tell one thing you would have your house do for you....
[t14]This
paragraph is almost done. Can you change a few of the "Its".. What is
it.. Use the examples in the pervious paragraph to help you...
How I would spend 1,000,000
A Million Dollars
If I had a million dollars I would buy a
lot of stuff. To
begin, [t1] with[t2] my million dollars I would buy a car[t3] . I[t4] n my awesome new car I would go to North Dakota North Dakota
Also I will grow a garden[j10] to grow food for friends I can grow food for my family too. I would
grow watermelons, apple
trees and more things. It would
be fun for me to grow a garden because I’ve never have grown a garden. That’s
how I would spend my million dollars! [j11]
By Ben Hanson
[t1]Get
rid of the comma
[t2]To
begin, with my million dollars I would blah blah
[t3]period
[t4]In
my awesome new car I would….
[t5]Can
you tie the car into this. For example….I will get all my family members to get
into my car and we will go party at Chuck y Cheeses restaurant.
[t6]I
cant see all of them. What are some adjectives to tell about the animals. For
example. Friendly, spunky, sleepy, dopey, fierce some
[t7]Add
adjective before rides. Example…heart pumping rides
[t8]Add
adjective before toys.
[t9]Adjective
before pizza?
[j10]This
sentence needs more to it.
[j11]Good
start to a sentence but not a complete thought.
How I would Spend 1,000,000
If I had $1,000,000 I would do two things.
First I would get a cat to catch mice and a dog to protect me. My cat would be named
Spook and my dog named Bear. He would be a sled dog. I will build a dog home. Next I will buy a tree. The tree is going to be by the dog house. The kennel will be in by the
front of my house. I will paint the dog kennel and I will put a
dog bed inside of the dog house. As one can see I will spend my $1,000,000 in
two different ways!
How I Would Spend 1,000,000
Today
I’m going to tell you about three things I’d spend $1,000,000 on. First I’m going
to tell you about a jetpack. I’d spend money on a jet pack so I could fly. Every morning I would strap on my jetpack and go
flying out the Door to school. Next I’m going tell you about an amazing pool[t1] that I someday will build. I’d build a pool so I
could cool off .I would also like t[t2] o just practice swimming and I’d have a pool party everyday[t3] . Last I would like a horse[t4] . My friend Bailey has a horse and I thought if I had one
like her we could ride them and go places[t5] . like
Douglas Creek[t6] . We would go as fast as we can go riding through
the wheat fields. It[t7] [t8] would be lots of fun. Having my own pet would be a blast to. Now you know
what I’d spend $1,000,000
on.
[t1]maybe
instead of a pool.. How about Next I’m going to tell you about the magical pool
I will build.
[t2]Don’t
start a sentence with and
[t3]period
[t4]like
horse? Or like a horse
[t5]Need
a period.
[t6]Period
and It needs to be capitalized. By the way what is It? Riding along the rushing
creek would be lots of fun. Much more interesting then it…
[t8]Instead
of it describe what it is. For example'Riding on our gallant steads we could
explore the rushing, tumbling water of Douglas Creek. See the difference. You
can see it!

Teacher adjusts instruction and provides needed questioning and tools during lesson
While students were working towards discovering various ways to make 25 cents I realized some students needed manipulative to help them solve the problem. Once I provided the needed tools and asked guiding questions students were able to solve the problem. Not all students needed the same tools to solve the problem. Students persisted for nearly 50 minutes to find all the combinations.
Classroom culture
A few minutes each day is scheduled to reflect on he seven habits. This helps students develop a culture of excellence in our room.
