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. I could surf in the high tide. The whether is hotter and no snow falls on the fantastic island of Hawaii. If there is a store I could buy a drum set so I could have some drum lessons. That would be nice for me. Hopefully they would be selling a shark tooth necklace. A shark tooth necklace would be hip.

As you can see a million dollars would be gone in no time. 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.

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.I would hunt elk, moose, and deer then I would take it and cook it for dinner. Another thing I would do with my million dollars is go live in Hawaii. I would go to the beach and play with sharks and play with my cousin Ean. Ean and I would try to catch crabs in the ocean and on the beach. That is how I would spend my $1,000,000.

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?"

[t10]what is it....Is it a bullet, or, this deadly shell, or the earth shaking shell explodes

[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 because my family lives there. I want to build a zoo in North Dakota. I[t5] will get all my family in my new car and we will look at the sleepy [t6] animals in my new zoo. I will go to chucky cheeses in my new car because theirplace is so awesome! Who does not love their[t7] heart pumping rides, funny toys[t8] , games and pepperoni PIZZA[t9] ?

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. I t[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…

[t7]Like????? We could ride them all over the place like down Douglas Creek.

[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.

Wow! Today I’m going to tell you how I would spend $1,000,000. First[j1] of all, I would move to the relaxing island of Hawaii.

The first reason I would move to Hawaii is because I would be able to swim every day and be able to snorkel! I would work at a hotel in Hawaii and earn a lot of money to buy a dolphin to swim with me when I snorkel so I would have a buddy to give me company when I see the sharks. I would name my dolphin Sparky!! Second of all, I would buy a mansion.[j2] I could make my room so gigantic that it would be the size of my classroom! I could put a library in my mansion! Then, I would never need to return a library book ever again! The shelves would be filled with my favorite chapter books[j3] like dork diaries, and boxcar children[j4] . I could even make a special spot for my horses,[j5] in the house! Best of all, I would be famous for having the biggest house in the United States!! Probably.

A5 student assessment for student learning

Students analyze NWEA scores and compare them to where they should be. They analyzed their data to see if growth was made. Then students discussed strategies that would help them to continue making growth.

Student talk

The reading cards help facilitate conversation relating to the story. Students spend time making predicting, connecting, and asking questions. "My prediction is that the characters are going to go to the other side of the world".
CP6 scaffolding for student learning: gradual release of responsibility.
The cards provide for the teacher to visit each group and listen in to the conversation and reading.
