Our Lives at JHH

Many people say that school is your second home. Well J.H. House has been a great one. One of the greatest things that happened to me was when I got chosen to have a blog. At first I thought it was just extra work, but then I started liking it. This has been a great year. We have learned so much and I hope that future generations will have a chance to experience what we have. It will give them a lot of knowledge in  writing. This school has been so great and I will miss it a lot. It has taught me so many great things I don't want to leave.  :(

Some ideas for the group next year is to put the best posts into  a  memory book and share it with every other generation. To show them what they will soon accomplish and to tell them they have a lot of abilities to write.  :)

Testing

When you are testing, you probably don't like it. I don't either, but look at the good sides of it. You don't get any homework, you go outside, and you get to show what you know. I know you still won't like it, but give testing a try.

More Tips

A very good tip is to always use vivid words. Never leave an overused  word   in your paper. If you do, your paper will look very ordinary. If you change the words your paper will look great.                                                                                                                                          

   I wrote this tip a while ago and I have thought of some ways to improve it.

Use vivid words! Never leave an overused word in your paper. They are old, and old things stink! You don't want your paper to look ancient or ordinary. Your paper will look fantastic if you bump up some words.

My Tips

Tips are very important to any writer. That's why I came up with some to help you.

1. When you are writing a research paper make sure you have enough information. That way you can include a lot of details and make it interesting. If you can't find enough information put your own thought into it. Change the topic only when you really have to.

2.  A very good tip is to always use vivid words. Never leave an overused  word   in your paper. If you do, your paper will look very ordinary. If you change the words your paper will look great.

  3.   Another good tip is to arrange your sentences so it will look like somebody with great knowledge wrote it. It will make your teachers very excited to know that you can write so well. It will also help you have more audience.

Great Tips

Today I read a tip on Tips for Young Writers it is very true.

"Re-write, re-write, re-write. Tear every sentence apart and analyze it. Does it flow? Is it passive or active? The best writers use an active writing voice as much as possible. So instead of saying: “She picked up the pencil,” say instead, “She grabbed the pencil.” Don’t sweat it if it seems to take a century to create something good, that’s how you learn. And with experience the writing process becomes easier. Promise."

Another good tip is to always check your work. It is a good idea to use a dictionary while you are checking it. You may also change words to make it more exiting. You can look up words your not sure about and it will help you write a good story. It will also help to read it aloud that way you can hear how it sounds.

Learning at School

We have learned a lot of things since we started school.We have learned about weblogging, technology, and current events. I thought blogging was posting a story on your blog. It is, but it is also about reading other people's blogs, and enjoying what you do. I love learning about technology. I like that almost every week we learn how to do something new with the computer, like inserting a picture in one of your posts. We have learned about writing the most. How to check our work and have good endings and beginnings. We have also learned about current events. We have been watching CNN since third grade and now it really helps us because it won't be so hard to write stories about CNN.we Have learned so many things I can't name them all. I hope that other people get the chance to learn and experience what we have.

Dear-Teacher-To-Be,

          My name is Paulina. I am 11 years old. Mrs. Davis is my teacher, and I am in the fifth grade. I'm glad that you want to be teachers because there are a lot of kids that need you. I hope that you will be the kind of teacher that likes to help and is interested in the kids work. I think that kids like teachers that make learning fun so they won't be bored. They will be interested in fun educational games, but you can't let them go out of control. You also need to be nice, but at the same time stern. When you teach you should look interested and ready to teach. They have a lot of expectations of you. For example they want you to respect them and to help them in whatever they have problems in. They expect you to treat them equally like the rest of the students. soon you will know each of your students and you will know how to treat each one of them. I hope you will follow what I said and you will always be a great teacher.
