Think Fast! What's your favorite thing? Write an impromptu love letter or poem to your favorite thing. (You should write for the whole 10 minutes...)
Poem by me called I AM REALLY TIRED RIGHT NOW CAN YOU TELL???
When I lay my head
upon my bed
when I go to sleep
there's something there
I love and care
about, my love runs deep
When my head hits it every night
It feels as if my thoughts take flight
as i drift into the land of dreams
I feel the softness around my face
the joy I can find no other place
With its lovely cloth and well sewn seams
If you havent guessed it yet
My one true love- you can bet
Isnt it obvious? HELLO!
Its on a bed and its made for sleeping
you lay upon it when youre dreaming
Theres only one thing like... my Pillow

Honesty
How important is honesty to you? Is it more important than kindness? Share a story of a time you or someone you know was not honest and it caused problems or was 'too honest' and it caused problems.
Honesty is very important to me. And I think honesty and kindness pretty much go together. I dont really think I should have to choose between them. I cant really think of a good honesty expirience.... let me think for a second.... ok I remember one: One day when I was about 7 years old I wanted to be a really honest person and make my mom way proud of me. But I couldnt think of anything to tell the truth about so I grabbed my little 5 year old brother and punched him and he started crying. My mom came in and said "what happened?" I told her that I punched him, just to make her proud of me being truthful. SHE WAS NOT PROUD. She made me stand in the corner and face the wall for like ten minutes. Bad Idea. Maybe I shouldnt have been so honest.

The end of the World
The world is ending. There are natural disasters happening everywhere. You know that soon you will be stranded in your house with only the food left in your cupboards. You make a mad dash to the grocery store but everyone there is in such chaos that you know you'll only have time to grab one item before escaping with your life. What item of food do you grab?Describe what the food is, how long you'll wait to eat it, what it will feel like to know you're eating it for the last time. Will you share with your family? Will you hide it away until there's nothing else left? Will you eat it a little at a time or gobble it all at once? Describe every aspect of enjoying this last savory morsel of food.
The item of food I would grab would probably be the most gigantic frozen pizza in the whole store. I would wait as long as I possibly could before devouring the delicious thing. And yah I would share with my family. Just because I am so nice. They had better apreciate this. I would make them eat as little as possible as slowly as possible to make it last. And grabbing a pizza would probably be my best bet for survival. Because pizzas have practically all the food groups! The crust is grains, the cheese is dairy, nasty vegetables would top it, along with pinapple from the fruit group. And of course the pepperoni would make the meat group. So even though it would be totally traumatic with the end of the world, at least my family and I have one nice well balanced meal.

Persuasional Powers
Imagine that you have a superpower. The Power of Persuasion. You can convince anyone of anything. How would you use that power? What would you try to get, do, change? Would you use it for good? Or evil? Describe what the Power of Persuasion is.
I would use it for..... actually I'm not sure wether this reason is good or evil. Its good for me and my fellow classmates, but not so much in the long run or for the teachers. What I would do is persuade my teachers to NEVER give out any homework. Ever. And I just might persuade them to never have us do school work either. But i would still be able to get a good job in the future. I can just persuade the boss to give me any job I want. I would be totally rich because I can simply persuade the bank to give me all its money. Then I can persuade the police to let me go after they arrest me. Life would be pretty easy. But pretty boring too. I guess all in all I'm happy just the way I am.... though I would be totally ok without homework!
The Power of Persuasion is like the power to convince someone that your way is best or to get what you want. What you want might not be right or your way might be awful, but you can still persuade a good argument.

Book Review
Write a review of the last good book you've read. You should include:1 paragraph summary- what's the story about?1 paragraph review- what did you like about the book? What could have been better?Your review: how many stars would you give it?
1: Well theres this fairy named Rosetta and she likes fancy shoes and clothes and hair and is a major girly-girl. But her friend Fawn is a major tomboy. They never agree on anything but this one day Fawn agrees to go with Rosetta to a fancy party if Rosetta does whatever Fawn wants for one whole day. Rosetta is horrified when Fawn goes to the party and has absolutely no manners. And Rosetta's life gets even worse when Fawn takes her frog jumping and other "gross" things. In the end both agree to apreciate each others differences.
2: What I liked about the book is the pictures. They're cute. Plus it was a cute story. And in some silly ways I can relate to it. I have had friends who wont do anything "gross" too. It gets kinda boring sometimes. But whatcha gonna do? Anyways what could have been better is: Well there was this one picture of the fairies getting ready for the party in these fancy dresses and the "prettiest" one... was perfectly hideous. I was dissapointed.
3: How many stars would I give this book? HOw many are possible? Actually I would star it differently depending on the person I was starring it for. But as far as little Disney Fairy books go, I would give it 9/10 stars.

The Ultimate Winter Break
Describe your ideal Winter Break. Where would you go? What would you do? Money is not an obstacle. If you could do anything you wanted, what would that be?
For the perfect winter break I would love for me and all my friends to go to a giant house made of marshamllows. And then melt the whole thing with a campfire and then put chocolate and graham crackers all over it and eat it. Then I would want us all to get a whole bunch of colorful motorcycles and drive them on a road made of cookies. Then we would go sky diving into a lake of jello with a bunch of plastic fish in it. Then we would ride on some mechanical and still delicious gummy bears. And then put on our winter clothes and go sledding and snowmobiling on a mountain made of ice cream. Then it would explode like a volcano. But instead of lava it would be hot fudge. Then we would get a humungus pizza that it like 100 ft long and have a crazy dance party on the pepperoni. And to wash it all down we would go swimming in a giant cup of kool aid. I'm a little hungry right now can you tell?
