What I Learned About Helen Keller

By Jakey

Helen Keller was born in June 27, 1880 at Tuscumbia, Alabama. Helen had gold hair, sturdy arms and legs. She was blind and deaf because of a high fever when she was young. Her father was a captain of the civil war and he owned his own newspaper.

Her traits were first, a bad girl when she was young because she broke other people’s toys, ate her birthday cake when she didn’t know it was her birthday and dipped her fingers in other people’s plates when they were eating. Second, she was kind when her teacher, Miss Anne came. She cooperated with her. Helen also did not hit her dog, Belle, and she did not squeeze her kittens. Third, she was patient because she kept on learning the words.

I think that Helen is bright because she studied a lot of things, like how to talk, how the Braille alphabet works and how she could speak.

When I was One Year Old...

By Jakey

I will tell you when I was one year old and eleven years old.

These are my physical changes. When I was one year old, first, I didn’t have much hair. Second, I had small body. Third, I was thin.

On the other hand, now that I am eleven years old, I have longer arms and legs so I am taller. I am also fat. I also have a low pitched voice and I have lots of hair.

Last, I had a high pitched voice.I can also do lots of things now that I am eleven years old. Example, now I can jump higher. Next, I can ride a bike with just two wheels. I can also play piano now. Then, I can make PowerPoint presentations and write paragraphs in the computer. Plus, I can remember the games I finish in PSP.

There are so many differences when time flies.

Making a Glittery Name Plate

By Kate

First, put the wrapping paper on the cardboard. Second, write the letters of your name on a sheet of paper. Third, cut out your name. Next, paste the letters you cut out on the cardboard. Then, put the design on the cardboard. Then, punch a hole on each side at the top side (this and the next one are optional). Attach a wire on the holes so you can hang it on the door. Finally, add glitter.

Would You Want to Have ESP?

By Raffy

Based on the second survey I did, most people answered YES, they would want to have ESP. Some of the reasons were first, it will help them in many ways and second, they would be able to do many things for themselves and others.

Two out of five people answered NO, they would not want to have ESP. The reasons are first, they don’t want to see if something bad happens to others and second, they think that ESP is a curse.

To the teachers who participated in this survey, thank you!

My Thoughts About Honesty

By Peter

Honesty is a personal trait or a characteristic. It is better to be described as plainly telling the truth. Honesty is important because being honest has its own rewards and faults. It makes you feel good and takes the guilt in your heart away. Honesty also affects your relationship with others like your family and friends. When you tell the truth it makes them happy or sad. It is better to let it out than living with the guilt because it can hunt you.

You can apply it when you are confronting your parents as their son/daughter. You should tell the truth because they could understand. It will make them less mad than hiding something. Also, honesty can be applied as a student because it helps you with your teacher. For example, when you didn’t have enough time to do your homework it’s better tell him/her the truth than making an excuse. I’m honest to my parents and friends for example, I failed my test but I told my mom and dad about it. With my friends, I was honest when one time, I left my assigned project at home and they counted on me to bring it. So, I told them the truth that I left it at home. I’m honest sometimes, because it’s hard to tell the truth when you are under peer pressure.

My conclusion is honesty is the best policy.
