Thinking about Test Taking

  I think that we should have finished earlier,but I guess it was pretty easy! Social Studies was the only one I had trouble on.       I like when Mrs.Hooper said everyone who was here during testing would get to go to the perfect attendance party! It was a piece of cake,besides I was a little nervous on the Math and Reading part. It was because if I don't pass those two tests I will have to go to Summer School! That's what scares me! I am glad it is over.

Too Much Rain!!!!

Wicked weather pounded western regions of the U.S. last week. La Conchita, California, suffered the greatest losses from the deadly storms. Heavy rains triggered a huge mudslide there on January 10. Part of the coastal town was buried in mud and wreckage. Thirteen homes were crushed, and 10 residents were killed.

"We have seen the power of nature cause damage and despair, but we will match that power with our own resolve," said California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger last Wednesday while visiting the town.

According to the National Weather Service, December 27 through January 10 were the wettest 15 days in a row on record for downtown Los Angeles, California.

Rainstorms caused heavy flooding in many areas. The most severe occurred in Saint George, Utah, where 18 homes were destroyed or declared unsafe.

From December 28 through January 11, up to 19 feet of snow fell in the Lake Tahoe area of the Sierra Nevada range. Weather officials say nearby Reno, Nevada, had the second-largest snowstorm in its history. They also say that the storm clouds may have a silver lining. As the snow melts this spring, it may reduce drought conditions in the West.

This story is very organized! An example is” December 27 through January 10”. One example of ideas and content is “We have seen the power of nature caused damage and despair". The author used a good choice of conventions. One example is that the author stuck to the topic and didn't have any spelling errors! That person used fantastic word choice. One example is that their writing kept flowing. This person has good sentence fluency .They said,” Heavy rains triggered a huge mudslide there on January 10”.

Dear Teacher-To-Be

Hi, my name is Lacey! I am in fifth grade. I am 11  yrs. old.  I think  Georgia could  use a teacher like you. I want to give you my thoughts of  what a teacher should be like. I hate when teachers pop a quiz.  Maybe you could give the class a warning  of when you will give a quiz. You can make learning fun. Show some type of emotion! My teacher right now is always emotional in Social Studies.

Make sure  you set some type of rules up! Some teachers are way too strict!  Mrs. Mateling  is always making me laugh. She takes  something we do not understand and makes it very easy to understand.

I have to leave for an appointment. I wish I had more time to write. I think it is fabulous that you are going to be a teacher. I hope to hear from some of you!
