My Heart Goes Out!!!!

The killing at Virginia Tech was a very sad event. I use to think one person dying was not a lot. But if you think of one of your friends or family dying it is a lot. Even if you hardly knew them it is still very sad. Think about it. There were thirty people that died at Virginia Tech. It is like my class and almost all the sixth grade being killed. That is a lot of people that were effected. Their life was taken that's one. That life that could of cured cancer. That life that was going to make a difference. Also all of their friends and family were effected, that number could go on and on. Then the friends of the family and friends can be effected because their friends would be upset. You can not forget the general public that is saddened by the event. Multiply that by thirty and you get the worse school murder in U.S History. I do not know any of the people that died but it is still sad that all of those people died. It is even sadder that they were murdered by a fellow student. The saddest thing is that this is not the last tine we will hear about something like this. I wonder why people kill others. It does not help their problems it just makes matters worse. Instead of people worrying about getting killed like that. We should stop the problem where it begins. I think we should focus on helping people who have those crazy thoughts. If we make it where those people do not feel bad about coming out and telling people that they think those things, then we could solve the problem. If someone thinks that someone has those thoughts they should tell someone. I wonder if there is a number or something? If not there should be. I feel bad that people think those thoughts it must be horrible for them. I mean they think that stuff all the time. I do not think that they can enjoy life that much.We should teach people how to control their anger. Once again my heart goes out to those thirty student's loved ones.

My Top 5!!!

It is very hard to read books at my school for AR. Since I am in 7th grade I have to get thirty points. I end up reading a lot of books because of AR. My favorite is The Client. It is descriptive and has a good story. The book is very exciting. It was also very adventurous. The boy in the book has a lot of responsibility.He has experienced a lot in his life. My next favorite is The Westing Game. I love mysteries. The Westing Game was like a mystery and very confusing. There was no way to guess what was going to happen next. It had a lot of characters so you did not get bored of one. That book was awesome. My third favorite is The Island of the Blue Dolphins. It showed how to survive with out all of the high tech stuff. It is a journey and very intriguing. It seemed very real. She was very lonely though. On the other hand she could do whatever she wanted to when she wanted to. A Wrinkle in Time is my fourth favorite book. It was one of the oddest books I have ever read. Some on the subjects they talked about seemed so out there that it was interesting. It was something out of what I usually read. The fifth and last book that I will mention is The Pretty Strikes Back. I love all of the Clique books it is like a TV show. I like that book in the series the most because it has the most excitement in it. The friends are very close and would do almost anything for each other. I think that is really cool. I like these books because each one of them have to do with the other. It was also the best one because they got in a lot of trouble that they never get into. Some books are okay but others are horrible. Reading can be kind of fun if you read the right books. I do not like to read a lot though.

My English Teacher!!!

Mrs. Chapman is a very interesting person. I like that she is tough. It teaches us. It sometimes can be hard. We are suppose to do the right thing anyway. If someone did not enforce rules the world would be very wild. Mrs. Chapman does a VERY GOOD job of enforcing the rules. I also think she is fun and a little crazy. I like that. She always comes up with fun activities and things that take a boring day and give you something to look forward to. I also like that we read books in class and not a home. Since we already read AR, it is less stress. She also picks out good books. She is very good at teaching English so you can learn it even if it is hard to understand. Her test are very hard or is it English that is hard. But in the end I have never forgotten am, is, are, was, were and that's all that matters. It matters if we learn things not memorize them for a test and forget. I learn things in English. She is also funny. She has bad handwriting so it is better that she uses power points. Her teaching style of doing things over and over makes you remember it. She can get mad but is alright in the end. Mrs. Chapman is one of my favorite teacher. She is very fun to be around. Also to be tough she has a very carefree like spirit. I can not explain everything about her. I am not good at explaining people. If I could change something it about Mrs. Chapman and her teaching styles, it would be to explain our projects better and maybe her handwriting. But I am one to talk my handwriting is chicken scratch. Mrs. Chapman has something about her that is totally different and I love it. The way she teaches and handles things is awesome.
