Making Connections



Making Connections means that if your reading a book and it says something that your able to relate to.

Making Connections is important because you should be able to tell how the characters feel.



I’m able to make a connection from my book called Listen! because Charley is wanting to help dogs that don’t have a home and she helped a dog. This relates to me because I helped a dog too. He was a stray dog and now he has a home from me!

My Dogs

My dog is extremely nice and I think my dog is hypoallergenic.

To me my dogs don’t pester me but one of my dogs do sometimes he’s

way to hyper I can’t calm him down. And his name is Benji we named

him that because he looks like the dog Benji that’s why we named

him that. And my other 3 dogs bark a lot I mean a lot they bark anything

they hear outside and it get really annoying so we can’t make to much

noise. Here’s are the names of the dogs that like to bark a lot Ellie, Pepper,

and Buddy. And last of all my cat she’s extremely annoying because

she constantly meows. I don’t know a lot about hypoallergenic dogs , but

I know one dog that is hypoallergenic it is a toy poodle.

So they gave us a list and I have to chose one person to dedcide to choose the activitiy and I chose Hailey Schulmeister so everybody form a circle and decide what you want to do Hailey come here said Mrs. Hillman.

The next day Fuel up To Play 60 was there getting everything ready and set up. Mrs. Hillamn annouced to the class, '' Today at 9:15 we will be going to the gym and doing our activity.'' So when they were waiting they all did Daily 5 ( that means where you read to self or someone and you can do writing and some other stuff) So when they were done reading they all lined up and went down. When we got to the gym it was super different there was surrondings all around the gym and the floor was covered with mats. Then Alice called us over to the side of the gym and there was a  head shield because we didnt want the erasers getting in there eyes. So when we were set they moved the tables and stuff and before the grown-ups left they put us on teams Gabby,Mariah,Olivia,Laura,Misty,Lexi,Tia,Emily, Hailey, and Carson.  Were on the girls team and they wore hot pink aprons and head shields There was one boy on our team because there was one more boy than the girls.

Then all the grown ups left except one JIm he was going to supervise us and he had to put on a hot pink apron and a blue head shield. ( By the way forgot to tell you that the boys team wore dark blue aprons and headsheilds) Before Jim says go he explans how to play,'' ok if you get hit come sit by me now ........ GO.''

One day Eliza and her mom Elizabeth went to Independence to go to Walmart. On the way there she kept on imagining things like there is this person after every mile and it looks like a ghost. When they got to Independencehe disappeared. So they went inside Walmart to get some craft stuff and they found wood letters and got all the letters for her full name and got some paint to paint them with. Then they went to the make-up section and bought make-up so her mom could give her a make over, and bought some other stuff. Then they left and went back home then she started seeing a man again over and over until she fell asleep and had a nightmare. So she woke up and just lightly closed her eyes

It Shouldnt Hurt Being An Animal

Article posted April 13, 2011 at 04:13 PM GMT0 • Reads 237

        Here in the United States all types of animals are being abused by people. They are abusing them, kicking them, negleting them, and much more.

         People abusing animals are growing rapidly. 20% of all intentional animal abuse crimes are commited by teens and 95% of those teens are boys. Studies of wiolent offenders in prison show that nearly 75% of them had earlier records of animal cruelty. Over 65 billion animals are used, abused,and killed for food, scientific/medical testing, military experimentation, entertainment, clothing, and breeding as in puppy mills each year.

        One way we could solve animal abuse we could team up all around the United States day and night we could watch for animal abuse if we hear strange noises we could knock on the door and look in the house and if there is an animal getting abused you would call the nearest animal shelter and they will come and pick up the animal.

          As of today animal abuse is still going on , and I think my solution should change the United States.

          Animal abuse needs to stop because it shouldnt hurt being an animal.
