Yoceline's Writings

A Rough Road in Iraq

Christmas

It is almost time for Christmas. Many people are going to visit their family. Some people are preparing the presents. I want a DVD player for Christmas. I hope I can get it. I can't wait to that day to come!!!

Merry Christmas,

Yoceline.

Do You Have Time to Smell the Roses?

     How is life for you? Life for me is very hard, well, not all the time.

     The hardest thing is language arts. All that about nouns, verbs, pronouns, adjectives makes me feel confused. When I have a test and I have to circle or underline all the verbs, nouns, pronouns and adjectives I feel "butterflies in my stomach." (butterflies in my stomach doesn't mean i have or feel butterflies) That's an idiom for "I am nervous."

     The easiest thing is writing. I am not that good but I love to write stories. All the stories I have written in class with Mrs. Mateling I got Bs. It is not that bad but I always expect an A+. The story I am making this week with Mrs. Henning is "Pumpkin Patch". I already have a lot of ideas but I am trying to get organized.

     Another favorite and easy thing to do is to draw. Everybody knows how to draw stick people. My uncle is in high school. He is a great drawer. He always gets angry when I draw my stick people. He wants me to draw perfectly.

     That's all I can say. Now I hope you enjoy this story.

• I am from a house where I fight with my sister.
  
• I am from a family where they give me a lot of love. 
  
• I am from a place where there is always something to do.
  
• I am from a school where I learn new things everyday.

Mrs.Davis' Post

     Hello! Here I am again.Today when we got to class Mrs.Davis read us the letter she wrote to the group "Think Possibilities." It was a very neat letter. Mr.Richardson also sent a letter with some tips of what he thinks blogging is. I will write them down......

#1. Find and read material that is relevant to your life.

#2. Capture the essence of this relevant reading, give credict to its source, and synthesize those ideas into piece of writing that advances a personal, perhaps greater understanding of that topic.

#3. Publish that writing for response and for perhaps pushing someone else's thinking on the subject.

#4. Read some more.

     I think that those tips were great. I hope many more people write their ideas about what they think blogging is and many more! I really like that someone wrote their ideas to us. Having a weblog gives me a place to put my writing. If someone read my writing and talked about it, I would feel proud. I think I need to read a lot of interesting books, magazines and look for words in the dictionary. I like writing bcause I can express myself.
