The character that I think I am most like out of all of the books we read as a class is Lucy form the book The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. I think I am most like Lucy because we have a bunch in common in many different ways.
Lucy and I have a lot in common, not in the physical looking way, but what we do that is in common. Lucy is very adventures in the book The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, and so am. We both love to adventure and love to play outside. Also we both love animals. In the book Lucy is always running around with animals and always having an imagination. Also we are both the youngest out of our families. Also we are both very brave and courageous, which means that we like to do things that most people are scared to do.
Besides us having things in common, she is my favorite character out of all of the books we have ever read as a class. The book The Lion, The witch, and The Wardrobe were a very, very good book. I would do anything to read that book again.
Some weaknesses that Catharine faces are David having autism and he embarrasses Catharine a lot, and that David doesn’t have many manners, one last one is that David cries a lot when he doesn’t get what he wants.Some strengths are that she has a brother that she can love, her brother has some manners, and one last one is that a new friend moved in right across the street.
Some weaknesses that I face are fighting with my brother, getting yelled at, one last one is that I get to see my cousin that often. Some strengths that I face are having a family that loves me, having a beautiful house, and one last one is being happy all of the time.
Rules for David: 1. Say excuse me when someone is in your way. 2. Take your shoes off when you walk into someones house (even your house). 3. No running in someone elses or your house (only outside). 4. Never say NO to someone (especially your mother). 5. No yelling in the house (only if you get hurt). 6. Don't interrupt someone when they are talking (say excuse me then talk). 7. Always say please and thankyou when you want something. 8. When you want something dont be rude about it, ask politely. 9. Don't be a bully. 10. Dont run with sharp objects in your hand (or you will get hurt).
I picked these rules becauase they will help David become a better person. These rules will give him lots and lots of manners. Those are my rules for David an why i picked them.

I hope my spring break is going to be awesome. I leave this Friday and the date is March 28, 2012. This spring break I am going to the Bahamas. Usually I go to Colorado with the Tillers, but this month I am going to the Bahamas. We are going on a 5 day cruise and we are going to have the best time ever. I am going with Mrs. Tiller, Mrs. Mandingo, Maddy Tiller, Kylee Mandingo, Mrs. Tiller’s mom, her niece Elsie, my mom, and me. First we are driving to Gatlinburg Tennessee staying the night there for one night, then we are going to CharlestonSouth Carolina staying there for a night, then finally we are getting on the 5 day cruise. I just know that I am going to have a great spring break and I cant wait to get on the cruise!!!!!
When we got to Chicago, I just knew I was going to have a great time. The busses were humongous. They had bathrooms and TVs on it. It was so much fun. When got to the field museum we went in to Ancient America, which we are learning about in social studies right now. After we were done at the FieldMuseum we headed for the Shedd Aquarium. To me the best part about our Chicago trip was the Shedd Aquarium. This is because I love dolphins and that is why I like the Shedd Aquarium better than the FieldMuseum.
The best part about the Chicago trip was when we went to the Shedd Aquarium. When we walked into the Aquarium it smelt horrible. All that I smelt was fish, it smelt disgusting. The best part about the Aquarium was when we got to see the dolphin show. We got to see dolphins jumping into the air and we also got to see bulga whales. Shedd Aquarium is so fun and I hope to go there again.
When we go to the FieldMuseum I really hope to see the Hall of Conservation Restoring Earth. This exhibit is about learning how to conserve wilderness and protect our Earth. Also when we got to the FieldMuseum I would like to go to the underground adventure. This exhibit is a hands on exhibit, also I have never been the size as an ant before and I feel like being smaller than one. I can’t wait to go to the FieldMuseum Friday.
Shedd Aquarium
I am so excited to go to Shedd Aquarium. This is because it is my most favorite place to go in Chicago. I have been to the Shedd Aquarium before and I had the most fun time in my whole entire life. One exhibit I want to go to Friday is the Waters of the World. I love the Shedd Aquarium because my favorite animal is a dolphin.
1.If you tell someone a lie don’t go off and tell different stories to different people just don’t tell anyone. I picked this rule because a lot of people do that these days.
2.If you get in trouble and you do it again later on in life adults might call you a bad child when you really are not one. I picked this rule because a lot of people get in trouble then do it again later in life.
3.If you are very good at something and other kids don’t believe you, and you really are not good at that certain something don’t keep telling them you are good at it just tell them something that is more believable. I picked this rule because a lot of kids say they are good at something that is not very believable.
4.If someone ask what you are doing and you don’t want to tell them just say something different. I picked this rule because when people are doing something that they don’t want anyone to know what their doing they get forced to tell them and they really didn’t want to.
5.If you sneak out of the house and you tell your friend they are going to tell your parents and then they are going to get mad so don’t tell anyone so then you won’t get in trouble. I picked this rule because a lot of people sneak out of their house at night then go off and tell their friends and their friends tell their parents.
Roger had planned to send a great many valentines to the girls and boys he knew. There were beautiful valentines in the toy shop window, red satin hearts in little heart-shaped boxes, painted post card valentines, and little card-board figures holding baskets of flowers.
Roger had been saving his allowance for four weeks and he was quite sure that he had enough money to buy a valentine for the little girl next door, and one for the little girl across the street, and one for the boy on the next block, and one for the boy who lived upstairs.
So, quite early the day before Saint Valentine's Day, Roger decided to go out and buy his valentines.
Just as he was about to start, though, he heard a sound from the playroom. Peep, peep, peep. Oh, it was Roger's pet canary who was calling to him, "Wait a moment, little master! You have forgotten to feed me."
Roger knew that he must not buy valentines if his pet bird was hungry. He found that it needed fresh water to drink, and the cage needed cleaning too. When he had done all this and filled the seed box, his mother called him.
"I want two yards more of lace like this for the baby's dress, Roger. Will you please go down to the store and buy it for me?"
"Oh, yes!" Roger said, for he thought that he should be able to go on down to the toy store and buy his valentines at the same time. But just as he was going out of the door his mother spoke again. "Come right home, Roger, just as quickly as you can. I want to finish the baby's dress so that she can wear it this afternoon when I take her over to Aunt Lucy's."
Roger got the lace and hurried home with it, but he couldn't get the valentines then. He had to amuse the baby while his mother sewed on the lace.
"I can go for the valentines this afternoon," Roger thought. But right after luncheon mother dressed the baby and started out for Aunt Lucy's house.
"I may not be back until , Roger," his mother said as she kissed him good-bye. "You won't leave dear grandmother alone a minute, will you?"
"No, mother," Roger said, but he could have cried, for he knew now that he could not buy his valentines at all.
Grandmother lost her spectacles several times, and dropped her knitting ball several more times, and wanted Roger to take her for a walk, so he was very busy all the afternoon. He was glad to be busy for he felt very badly indeed about having no valentines to send. All the children to whom he had planned to send valentines had sent valentines to him the year before. The children were his loved playmates and he knew that Saint Valentine's Day was the holiday for telling one's love.
He did not let his dear grandmother know how sorry he was, though, and after a while it was , and his mother came home.
"Has Roger been a good boy?" she asked his grandmother.
"As good as gold," grandmother said. "He has just warmed my heart all the afternoon."
"Well, I thought he would," his mother said. "Oh, I almost forgot something, Roger. I have a surprise for you up in the attic."
She went up to the attic and came back with a box in her hand.
"I meant to give these to you this morning, Roger," she said. "I found them in an old trunk when I was cleaning the attic last week. They are just as good as new and much prettier than the ones in the shops now, I think. They are the valentines that I had when I was a little girl."
Oh, such beautiful valentines as filled the valentine box! There were enough so that Roger could take one to every child in the neighborhood on the morning of Saint Valentine's Day.
His mother had been right about these pretty, old-fashioned valentines. They were nicer than any in the toy shop. Roger spread them all out on the library table, and looked at them. Suddenly he found out something queer about the valentines; they made him feel as if he had been playing Saint Valentine all day.
Some of the valentines had cunning little paper windows that pulled out and showed tiny gold birds inside. They made Roger think of his pet canary that he had fed that morning.
Some of the valentines were bordered and trimmed with gilt, and silver, and white paper lace. It made Roger think of the lace he had bought for his mother.
A great many of the valentines were in the shape of hearts, or there were hearts hung from them, or hearts on them that could be pulled out and would stand alone. They made Roger think of what his dear grandmother had said,
"Roger has warmed my heart all the afternoon."
"Hurrah for the valentine box!" Roger said as he began putting valentines in envelopes. He felt most unusually happy.
The message of this story is that just because you want something doesn’t mean that you can get it. You also have to do other things for other people then maybe you will earn the things that you wanted.
