Story

By Tusho

Today when I went to school I forgot about the spelling test .Then once I started taking it the teacher was getting furious cause I was misspell the word. So I would try to rewrite it but when I did was even more wrong. Everything that I do that I do the teacher would always disagree. There was this one time I was writing this nonfiction story and well I got an f on it and it was pretty good. When I am with that teacher I would always had misfortune and it sucked.

Spelling Story

By Abby

    Once there was a very big family that always kept to themselves. All of them, even the children, were very antisocial and didn't have any friends. Even when they went to family things, like reunions, they didn't talk to any other family members. Why you may ask, no one knew.

    One day the parents were dropping the kids off at school and while they were getting out of the car they said, "Now kids remember not to talk to anyone at all that are nonfictional." When the kids got out of the car they started to recede backwards to class. Once the parents left the kids talked to everyone in their class and were very outgoing. To some people who knew there parents and family thought it was nonsense. When the children were around the parents they never said anything to anyone, but when they weren't they were all social butterflies. Most of them were nonconformists too. They didn't dress regularly like all the other kids in jeans and T-Shirts. Instead they dressed in uniform type clothes with khaki pants, and button up Polo shirts.

    That day when the kids got home from school they were talking about their day at school. When their parents asked of they had talked to anybody they abruptly stopped and said no. From then on until the kids got older they had a social life at school but not one at home. Still nobody knows why they weren't allowed to talk to anyone else…it all remains a mystery.

Scotty’s Story

One day I was in school and we were having a spelling test and I was the 1st one to finish so the teacher collected mine 1st and she went back to correct it, I couldn't believe my eyes how could I have misspelled the word "wrap". I could not believe this nonsense I am a straight JA+J student I have never spelled a word wrong in my whole life I thought this was a big mistake. But the next day in winter we had no school and we had to go get antifreeze so the pipes in our house wouldn't freeze and burst. But now when I get home and poor the liquid in the drain and if I messed up my parent will think I have misbehaved. Now when I get inside I will be a disgrace to my family.

*! STORY!*

One day I was doing my homework I was in a hurry to get it done. When I was done with it I notice that it was very sloppy, that I had to rewrite it all. So first I went to my brother to make sure if he could read that way I didn't have to do it again. Then me and him were disagreeing. At the end we decided for me to rewrite it again.

My day at school

By Robert

One day when I was going to school something most unusual happened. I met a magician! He did some amazing tricks, for example he made a bunny disappear and then reappear. I wanted to stay longer but I had to get to school.

    At school my assignment was to write a nonfiction story. I wrote a story but the teacher said it was nonsense and I had to rewrite it. I disagreed but he made me redo it anyway. I did it again but my writing was to messy so I did it again. After three tries I satisfied him. Then I went home.

Noah’s Journey

    I went on a trip to the great Mexican Rivera. It was really fun. I have been waiting to go on this trip for a while. So when I got to go it felt awesome. I knew it would be fun but wasn't expecting anything as amazing as it was.

I started out with a long drive. We were driving from Lone Pine CA to the port in Los Angeles CA. It was kind of boring but I talked to my mom and her boyfriend Cody a lot. Then I read a book the rest of the drive. The book was really funny it was called Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Finally we got to the port and saw two or three huge cruise boats. I remember the name of two. One was a Princess brand boat called The Ice Princess. Then there was a Royal Caribbean boat named The Mariner of The Seas (The one I was getting in). I out of our car on to a bus which drove us to the boat then we had to do through around 5 security checkpoints.

Next we got these cards that said our name and something called folio # with a bunch of numbers and letters after the folio # with a colon symbol. Then we got on the boat. We all went to a bar to get something to drink and I told my mom I would meet her at our room later. Then I went to every room on every deck. Finally I met my mom in our room. After that we went to talk to the kids group about me. I wanted to be in the 12-14 kids group because I was 11 ½ instead of going to the 9-11 kids group because I find most kids my age immature. So they said to come back in the morning.

We went back and they said I had to spend three hours in the 9-11 kids group. So I did and it was pure torture. The dumbest thing I've done in my life was spend those three hours there. Then they said I could go to the 12-14 and I did. That was where I was most of the trip and met around 20 friends and exchanged emails so we could all keep in touch. I also went to three ports which were kind of boring. The fun one was Puerto Vallarta because I got to zip line.

On our zip line trip we first got on a speedboat which took us over this lake which took about 60 minutes. Next we got on a 4 wheel drive vehicle and took it to a camp which took about 30 minutes. Then they put the harnesses on us and told us how too zip line. After that they gave us each a mule and we took those up this mountain which took a while it was really fun. Finally we took a small hike up to a zip line and when down it and a lot more of them we also went down a free fall which was scary and walked down the side of a waterfall about 120 feet using a rope. Then we arrived back at the camp ate took the same 4 wheel drive vehicle to the speed boat and took the speed boat back to the harbor then got back on the boat.

Robert’s Rules of Order

By Robert w.

    I think school rules are good and bad. There's rules like no cell phones which make sense and are good rules. Then there are bad rules like no gum. That's an ok rule but it bugs me that we have during the star test why not follow the rule all the time?

    There are some rules which I think should be thrown out like no food in class. Mr. Hubbard eats in front of us which is no fair. I think he shouldn't be allowed to do that. Secondly during the star test we all eat we should follow rules all the time. So I think we should enforce that rule or dump it.

    Another rule is no running. Why do we have this rule at recess we run going home no one cares if we run so why does it matter during school? I think this rule is just stupid. So I think this rule is a throw away.

In the rule book it says we can't wear certain things .thats fine but it's stupid the rule book doesn't say we have to wear pants we definitely need to add this rule. I think this rule is necessary. There are other things like that it doesn't say we have to wear a shirt either. We need to fix these rules .

So we should change some stupid rules, but there are many good ones. I think that we need to fix. So please make the changes necessary.


 

*school rules*


By Tusho


There are a couple of things of the rules that I would want to change. Like the chewing gum part if there were responsible kids in our school then we would change it but only for the middle school kids. That not the only thing I would change.

Then there the part about the iPods and the mp3 players I think I would change that part cause we should at least her are music once in a while but there would have to be permission from the teachers and you would have to keep it low in class. Then there are two more that I would have to talk about.


There are those things like the part eating out of school but you would have to be responsible of the trouble you would have cause then pay the consequences but it would be awesome to just to eat outside of school but it would cause people to get into trouble if they don't show up back into class. It would also help us out once we get in to high school cause then we would all ready knew what we were going to do.

Last, we should bring our cell phones in but when we text we would have to pay attention in class but we should text far away people like in different areas like our moms or dads cousins in different countries. So that what I mostly think and these are the rules that I would change.

So those are some of the words that I would change but there would be a couple of more but I have to read some of the rules. So that's all I have written down.


 

Rules All Around Us

By Abby    

Most schools have a couple of the same rules, and they also have some rules of their own. For example all schools probably require that you don't talk back to the teachers. While maybe only a couple schools require that you wear a uniform everyday.

    Here at our lovely school of Lo-Inyo we do have rules that we have to follow. One of them that is very often broken is to not chew gum at school. Almost everyday in every class someone is chewing gum. Personally I think we should be able to chew gum at school. At least the middle school students should be able to, because most of us should be responsible enough to handle it.

    One rule that should be changed a little bit is the rule about cell phones. I think we should be able to use our cell phones but only at break. We still shouldn't be able to use them during class because that would just distract everyone, but during break it wouldn't do any harm. Another rule that should be changed is the fact that we can't eat in class. Some people might have missed breakfast or don't like the lunch and are hungry during class.

    Rules that we have are here for a reason. They are either there to keep us safe or help us. There are many rules that may not be necessary and should be changed, but there are also the rules that should stay just as they are. Rules such as no hitting, no running, or any rules like that should stay the same. They help protect us to not get hurt, or hurt other people. All the rules we have here are great but there are a couple that should be just be changed a little bit.

    Some schools like the kids to wear uniforms everyday to prevent from breaking the dress code. Basically all schools have the rule to not talk back to teachers in a rude way. Also many schools have the same rules, but some of their very own to suit them.

School Rules

By Ryan

There are many school rules in my school. Some of them are bad but some are very smart rules. Our teachers make up most of the school rules. Many students don't obey them. There should be a lot of changes to our rules.


 

One rule that I would like to have is to chew gum during school. I would like to chew gum because it focuses me when I am reading or talking. I think gum will help us to because the classes would be a little more quite because students are doing something that isn't that boring. When we get caught at school chewing gum we either have to get a referral or just go spit it out. Many kids in all the school chew gum a lot and get away with it. They think that they are not going to get caught but the third or fourth time they do it they are probably going to get in trouble.


 

Another rule I would like to have is to eat in class. Many teachers don't like kids eating or drinking in class. They think that we are going to spill or drop something. But when we don't get to eat breakfast we get hungry and our stomach feels sick and many kids go home. I would understand no sodas or anything but Gatorade seems better. If they let us drink that we should only be able to drink the new drink that isn't sticky when you spill it. When we eat food I think that we should only be able to eat popcorn or something not hard to drop. But we need to not be a pig and just throw it up in our mouth because we would just make a bigger mess. My friend he always eats in class but he always pays attention.


 

One rule that we need is no more then 2 students in the bathroom at a time. Many kids don't like to go to the bathroom because other kids are always looking in the stalls. I don't think it's good to look in the stalls because it's not any privacy. When kids do that the kids don't want to use the restroom because they are afraid that another kid is going to do that to them. I know it will be pretty hard but I think it will make kids more comfortable.


 

Those are some rules that we need and some rules that we need to get ride of. Many rules that our teacher makes are very good. But many can be very bad. I think that some of my rules should be eliminated or put on the list. In my opinion I really don't care about the other rules.


 

A Story About Rules

By Branden


 

This is a story about the school rules. I will tell you which ones I like. And which ones I do like.


 

These are the ones I like. No bulling, no ruff playing. This is why I do not like bulling. Cause some people can get hurt. and if the kids think that it would be ok to bully.


 

And this is why is why. I do not like ruff playing. Cause people can get hurt. For example some kids were playing football. And one of the kids tackled another kid. That kid could get hurt.


 

And these are the ones I do not like. No gum, no hats inside the class rooms. I do not see why we can't have gum. We should be able to have gum but we have to throw it away.


 

I think should be able to where are hats inside. Cause it won't hurt nothing.

School Rules

By Gabriel R.

There are many rules but some make me get confused. My first rule is spaghetti tops. Why can't we wear those, I don't know. I don't like that rule because what could happen. What if it's a hot day at recess and you were wearing a T-shirt but that doesn't cool your shoulders off, if you were wearing spaghetti top you would be cool and less covered.

The second rule I don't get what could go wrong but one thing. Chewing gum is so addictive, that's why people do that. The only bad thing is that the kids can step on gum and track it into the classroom. That's why we should go in early (so we won't waste class time) and the teacher checks all of our feet before class so we won't track the gum.

This rule is so stupid that's why I saved it. Eating in class is so fun because what if we missed the first breakfast we can eat in class. If we don't pay attention then the teacher is trying to teach something then the teacher can take away that persons food. Also if there are crumbs then the student has to clean them up. If the student throws away their trash like a basketball then they can go up to the office.

The iPod rule is weird but I get it. If students were not listening to the teacher and Bad Romance (Lady Gaga) the teacher would be mad. This rule I encourage. I encourage this rule because what if someone like me doesn't have an iPod. I would feel sad, but one of my friends would let me hear.

Those are all the rules I encourage and discourage. These rules are rules I don't get except or the iPod rule. These rules would be fun to have for at least for a day.


 

School Rules

By Brad

There are a lot of school rules. Some are necessary and others are not necessary at all. Let's talk about some rules.


 

First, I would like to talk about the rule, "No Food in Class." Food is delicious and during recess or school breaks we can't eat that much. For example, those kids that don't eat at home rely on 2nd chance break. But at this breakfast you can't eat a lot, I mean come on 1 serving. Also what if you finish your work before every one in class and your stomach is growling what do you do sit there and feel miserable, "No." That is why we should eat in class.


 

Second, "No Texting in Class". I think this rule should be eliminated because I think as long as the student is paying attention in class and does well on his work he/she should be able to text. Like my friend he always texts in class but he also always pays attention and does his work. That is an example right there.


 

Lastly, chewing gum. Chewing gum is a big thing at school. Even though none of the teachers know who is chewing gum they know we chew gum in class. Also to support my theory it is shown that chewing gum helps keep the brain moving. This browser will show you the article: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life/health-fitness/health/A-reason-to-chew-gum-in-classrooms/articleshow/4439301.cms .


 

That is why some rules should be eliminated. And some should be changed.

This item interested me because you don't hear a lot about Italy, or at least I don't.

  1. Summarize the item:

Early on a Monday morning an earthquake struck Italy hard. It had a magnitude of 6.3. People living in Rome even felt shakes when the earthquake was in L'Aquila. Many people were injured or killed and now many people are now homeless. They still won't know how many total are dead for a couple of days.

This article is about the many people who were involved in the earthquake and what happened to them.

What? (What exactly happened? USE PLENTY OF DETAILS!)

The people of L'Aquila were awakened early Monday morning at 3:30 a.m. by a massive earthquake. Even people living 60 miles away in Rome felt the shakes and tremors from the earthquake. Once everyone felt the tremors they all ran outside fro safety. A lot of the buildings were extremely damaged or crumbled. This earthquake has left more than 50,000 people homeless. Rescue teams are trying to save the people trapped in the rubble on the buildings but don't want to use any machinery because one wrong move could lead to people dying. Officials place the death toll 92 but no one will know for sure for a couple days.
