Eric+C's+journal

Journal: Find a quote you liked from __Boy of the Painted Cave.__ Explain why you liked it. ** I didn't like the quote "hunger gnawed at him(this quote means very very hungry)" because this quote makes me hungry when ever I hear it. Also, I find the quote "smooth expanse of white sand" hard, because when I first heard it, I didn't get what it was. However, when I asked Mr. Schwagler, he said that it means a wide desert. 1. Journal:** Write the beginning of a story about a class that misbehaves while there is a substitute teacher in class. **7 sentences minimum.
 * Classwork 10/16/09
 * Classwork Monday, September 21st:

Alex was flying paper air planes across the class. When Mr. Kokeroo comes in, he sits down and says that the other kids threw the paper air plane. The kids who are innocent gets lunch detention and Alex sticks his tongue out at the kids, so the kids decided to tell the teacher when Mr. Kokeroo, the substitute teacher goes. When lunch detention ended, Mr. Romberus came back to Alex's class. The instant when Mr. Kokeroo left, the kids who were innocent went to Mr. Romberus and explained everything what happened.**


 * Classwork Thursday, September 17th:**

1. Warm-up: In your journal, write about something that has really been annoying you lately. If everything is perfect, then you can make something up. Minimum 5 sentences (10 minutes)

These days, I am annoyed by homework. In elementry school, they didn't give out a lot of homework, but in middle school, they give tons of homework. In additon, they have so much tests and projects. Yesterday I slept at 11:30 because of my science project. However, I do my homework by video chatting with my friends. If we don't know something, we help each other and ask each other. Honestly, I sometimes get bothered by chatting.

**Classwork Tuesday, September 15th** 1. Journal: Pretend you are Tao writing a letter to his mom (who he has never known). If I was Tao I would write a letter asking things about my mom. What kind of food she liked, how she looked liked, what she was good at and a lot more. I would tell her about me too. Maybe I could ask her who my father is. Writing a letter to a mom you don't even know who is will be nervous. 1. Setting is the time and place a story takes place. If you were writing a story about yourself, describe the setting (5 sentences minimum).
 * Classwork September 14th:**

If I had to write a story, I would put the setting as in the future. I would invent a time machine and then go to the future with my friends for a trip. In the future, you would have jet packs on the bottom of your shoes, easier transportation, flying cars, and it would be mechanically advanced. There would also be better foods. This would be the setting for my story.


 * classwork September 10th**

Today my day's going really bad. I was sick in the morning, so I missed like half of math class and I have so much academies today. Also I don't think I got a good grade for my English test. Also I tried to wake up at 6, but I woke up at 7. In addition, I had the subjects that I hate the most, which is multimedia and math. I guess today is not a lucky day for me.

1. Journal Entry: If you lived in the same clan as Tao, what would a typical day be like for you? You may want to use your book for some ideas.
 * Classwork September 4th:**

If I'm in Tao's clan, my life would be way different. I would volunteer to hunt, because I always wanted to hunt before. However, life would be way harder to live. There's no cars, so it would be hard to transport. Also if you fail to hunt, you'll have to starve, so if you are in Tao's clan, life will be way much harder.

I wish we have longer recess.I think 20 minutes of recess ins too short, and we should have 8 minutes between classes because when you go to the 4th floor from the B2 is too tired. Also having roller coasters in our school will be awesome. We should have motorcycles in our school that we could ride in recess. Students should be able to drink soda. Also we should have an apple store in our school. We should have out door swimming pools, clothe stores, and shoe stores. We should also have less homework and more clubs like riding roller coaster clubs, mac book hacking clubs, i Chat clubs, game clubs and so. But most of all, I think we shouldn't have KIS reads!

August 28th** Yes, I would love to be famous because if your famous you could make your parents happy and your cousins. Fist, I want to be famous by being the richest man in the world like Bill Gates. If your the richest man in the world, you could live with everything you want. You could also live in a big mansion and eat every thing you want to eat. I want to be rich by doing business like my dad. He told me about business and I thought it was very interesting.
 * Classwork(Journal:Do you want to be famous?Why or why not? What would you like to be famous for?

I'm so excited about the events that will happen in middle school. I really loved what they did about the soccer in advisory time. Maybe I could say my opinions at the student council meeting at every Tuesdays and Thursdays. I already have a lot of ideas and I'm excited to share them at the student council meeting. I love everything in middle school except they have so much homework.
 * Homework**

Today I was sick at the nearly end of the school. My dad's driver came to the school to pick me up. My mom didn't come because she was playing golf that time and my dad is always busy. I was happy because I was sick. I missed my academies and watched TV and played with my mac the whole day. Except I had to do my homework.
 * August 24th**

I woke up and ate a simple breakfast. I also listened to some music. After I finished my breakfast, I went to the school bus and listened to my mp3. The 2nd grader and the 3rd graders were so loud in the bus that I barley heard my music. The way to school was wild today.
