Toy boat, toy boat, toy boat. Not telling you who it is is staring at his ipad. He is wearing a dark blue shirts with pale green and blue and white stripes. He just pulled the bottom of his shirt down. Now he's gripping his ipad with both hands. He just let go. His eyes just narrowed. His hand is next to his mouth he is thinking. He just put his hand on his ipad. He let go. It's back. Now he is swiping at his ipad. He just said oh. His hand is back next to his mouth. He just looked at Mr. Joe. Now he is back looking dodwn at his ipad. His hand is back by his mouth. His eyebrows just narrowed. His hand is on his cheek. His hand is back by his mouth. His hand is now on his ipad gripping it. He's reading or looking back and forth on his ipad. His hand is back by his mouth. He touching his screen. He just smiled up at Fawaz. He just laughed and mumbled something I could not hear. He just said "He's writing what I do." to Clayton. He just put his hand on his head. Not telling you who it is is still keeping is hand on his head. His hands are both on his forehead. He kept his hands on his forehead but moved them. He just talked to me when I asked him whether he had brushed his hair or his forehead. He just got up to have a meeting with Mr. Joe. He rubbed his arm and yawned. He rubbed his arm again. He looked at Leo's paper. He stood on his knees and put his hands in his pocket. He put his hands on his knees. He put his hands on his hips.

Arghument Paragraph

I think there should not be year round school. There should not be year round school because students are going to not have any time to spend with our friends and family and do what they want, and we need summer break. Summer break gives the mind a break and they have something to look forward to during the year. It helps us feel relaxed. Also, when students go to school all year long, it feels like going to school forever until we are older, and we wouldn't be very energetic. And, everyone needs time with their family, to go on vacation, and go to camp with their friends. To have fun at different places, not just at school. (One expert, Dr. Peter Scales, says, “The biggest plus of camp is that camps help young people discover and explore their talents, interests, and values. Most schools don’t satisfy all these needs. Kids who have these kinds of camp experiences end up being healthier and have fewer problems.”) I know that I need this to spend time at camp with my friends and with my family, because during the year I don't really get that time, and on year round school I would never get that. If we have year round school, we won't be able to go on long vacations and things that we need to do with our family. In another article, it said ("Since 1980, 95% of schools trying Year-Round School have returned to a TRADITIONAL calendar. Thus, they have changed their calendar twice and had to suffer the disruption, frustration, and wasted time that this entails. Why are we in such a hurry to learn the same lesson?") (And in another article, it said for over 100 years, failure to change the school calendar to one year has occurred. Billee Bussard, a Florida Democratic Party Activist and a strong Obama supporter, said, "It is an idea that has been tried and failed for more than 100 years.") Clearly, this is not working out. So why switch to year round school? We need summer! I do not think we should have year round school.

You hear a click click click,
from the hall in the night.
You have a big stick.
But you are stuck with fright.
You fall over your stick
and are stuck in a tangle.
But the click click click click,
is just a Pango.
You hear a do do do do.
You try to climb the wall.
You try to get through.
A shadow's in the hall.
You drop your stick
and take off you shoes.
But when you throw it quick
it's a Dandidoo.
You hear a la la la la,
You can't say a thing.
You close your jaw.
You see a purple wing.
It doesn't make a flaw.
You take out a sewing needle.
But you recall,
it is only a tweedle.

Marshmallows are cool

Marshmallows are the coolest things. They are warm and good and tasty and fill you up with a beautiful sensation that makes you feel so good. They are creamy and fluffy and have a cool talent. When exposed to heat, this get toasty and thick and melty in the middle and the outside becomes crisp with flavor and toasty warminess. Marshmallows go with everything, too. Their warm toasty feeling goes with anything. And they melt in hot drinks, and leave a creamy aftertaste. They are a cool food. (Almost as cool as cheese.)

Two teams are using tools from back then to calculate things. There are compasses. 360 degrees in a circle. Perimeter is the measure around a shape. for circles it's circumference. Radius is the center point on a circle to the outside of the circle. The used counting, and multiplying, dividing, subtracting, and adding. They also measured. The doctors and boulders used math, along with others. Teams have come the the armory kitchen. Shilling is a 12 pennies thingie. The good temp for bread in oven is 425 degrees Fahrenheit. James Anderson was a very dependent and good blacksmith. We measure in inches and feet because that was the British something. An ell is 45 inches. The mans name is Ken Swartz. They knew the oven was hot enough by sticking their hand in and judging. A chain is 66 feet The blue team one in breaking the tiebreaker so they fired cannons.

He crashed into the living room and I came downstairs with my boxing gloves, and standing on the bottom step, I saw him. He took a fine china dish and ran upstairs and escaped through an open window.
