In the war Should You Trash Your Television, I think families should get rid of television’s completely instead of having them in their house’s. Ever since television’s were invented, people threw out the world have been battling to see if tv-free is better. Is it better not having television for your rest of your life?

Children all over the world watch TV, but they don’t know that watching so much television can get your to a bad place in school. Watching a lot of TV is bad for you, TV can get you bad grades and a bad education. Television always have those advertisement commercials that children watch. Junk food commercial’s aren’t good to watch, food commercial’s get children to eat more unhealthy than before. People always say shows don’t have any bad language, but certain shows get children to say those words. Watching TV can make a bad influence on your children, Children can learn rude language and violence and can go to school and do those bad things. Parents should see on what their children so they won’t do anything bad in school.

Algebraic Expressions are numbers and letters for example:

1. $1.10b + $1.15a this is the algebraic expression

Mr. Mendoza buys 4 pounds of bananas and 3 pounds of apples How much will Mr. Mendoza pay?

2. $1.10 x 4= $4.40

The CST was pretty difficult and simple at some point. To me I think I did alright not that bad, but I hope that I get at least Advanced or Proficient. I found English Language Arts easier than Math, Math took forever to accomplished even thought some of the students rushed just to finish. Math was pretty difficult, but I didn’t give up I tried my hardest.

In the war between cats and dogs, I think dogs are the most divine pets you can have. For hundreds of years people all over the world have been fighting over what pet is better, even though both pets are very popular, Which pet is loving but better?

Dogs help people by guiding the blind, hunting criminals, herding cows and sheep, detect termites and gas leaks, and smell cancer. Dogs have brains that are very smart, the average of words they can learn are 165. Dogs have so much energy, when they are active they want to play and run all over speeding around catching balls.

Many people think cats are so much better as a pet because they think cats are independent, but they are refute. Cats are lazy all they do is lay down and sleep all day. They also scratch you, leave fur all around the house, rip things. They are so boring. Lastly cats pee and poop anywhere they feel like.

Yesterday in the morning we woke up to go to Ihop and eat breakfast. Later on we went to church it took about two hours and when it was over my sister, her friend, and I went to my cousin’s apartment and we watched movies. We watched The Notebook, and The time travelers wife. When my parents got to my cousins apartment my mom came in and left my little cousin and we we’re about to leave when my dad walked in and we got a phone call from my aunt saying that the left middle window was broken. My dad and sister zoomed out of the door  to find my moms purse taken. Everyone got out of the apartment to the van and there was the big hole that was broken, glass was shattered around the parking lot. We couldn’t believe that those people broke into our window and took my mom’s purse. My mom, dad, and my cousin started calling insurance, the bank to cancel everything before they took our money but it was to late. We went home

The most important value about me is getting good grades. Getting good grades is important to me because if I didn’t have the grades my parents would be disappointed in me and tell me to work harder. Also getting good grades can take me far into life and it can prove that I actually try my best to get good grades. The second value about me is music. Music is important to me because whenever I don’t feel like me I play music and listen to it while I drift away. Music is like life I can’t live without my music.

I am good at taking reading test when I’m done reading my book. I am good at paying attention when my teacher talks or is showing us stuff. I am good at listening so when I do homework I know how to do it or when I do test. I’m also good at singing horribly with Julia.

What do I think about Mr. Penermon’s letter is that its so encouraging, and he believes in us doing well on the test. Plus telling us to not do our best to do our very best makes me feel stronger.

I want to do well on the CST test because I want to get Advanced or Proficient.  Also when I graduate from elementary and I go to middle school I wont have to get two classes of English or math. If I do well on the CST test I will raise points for the school and my teacher and
