Student Bloggers In Other States

Today, I visited two class blogs- one Iowa, one in Hawaii! It's cool to know that other people- students- are blogging at there. So far only one person has got comments, but the class's are working on it. They are both fifth graders- 5BFish from Hawaii, FeltonsFabolousFive from Iowa. I think it is nice that we get to communicate with other students like us, over great distances, using the internet!

The jackolopes, chapter 5, the burial

Dew was buried under a willow, under the nearest stretch of paurie grass they could find. The star, however, was not buried with her. It was given to Beetle, who had been developing a (love) affair with Dew. The sunset fell onto Dews broken body. She was special. Unlike most Jackolopes, she had not been a solid color. Instead of the festive reds, pinks, oranges, or yellows; the calming, greens, blues, and whites; the dark blacks, greys, and browns; and all the colors in between, Dew had been a calming aqua, with white paws and small bursts of yellow all over her body. And no one, NO ONE, could match her soothing voice, and skill at cooking. After the funeral, when the jackolopes found shelter for the night in a dark, damp, cave, Beetle swore never to use the star. It was a promise he would soon break.

New year resolutions

Resolutions are a promise to do something new, to do something better. Note that solution is part of the word resolution.  Also take note that the add-on re sort of means new, as in a new solution. These are usually made on days considered to be fresh starts. The most common type of resolutions are New Years resolutions, since it is the beginning of the year and the end of the old. Other dates that usually have resolutions made on them are the first day of school, camp, summer, or your birthday.
