Cheetahs They sprint they run Then they hide from the sun So they can cool down Then run round and round To them running is lot's of fun __I Think That Students Should get Paid for Good Grades __ __By: Daisy Spalding __

I think that students should get paid for good grades. Getting paid for good grades could encourage people to do better in school. Wouldn’t that be great if everyone in school got perfect report cards? Getting paid for good grades could make a regular kid so much happier. If this plan really happened, some might say it would encourage cheating. That would be a problem. I also think that we try to prevent cheating by either using folders to cover our work or spread people out. That would be a whole lot more fair, and it would make kids actually earn their money and grades. I think that we should get paid for good grades so you could pay for college. A couple more reasons are because then we wouldn’t have to nag our parents to buy some things we want. We could just buy it with our own money because our parents answer is usually no. getting paid for good grades would reward our effort and help set goals. This idea could also encourage parents to help their child. Some teachers like Ms. Van Reenan and Ms. Smith said no to this idea. Ms. Van Reenan said “no, getting good grades should feel good for the student and help drive them to continue to do better. They have plenty of years for earning money on a job.” I respectfully disagree. The money that students earn should also be used for educational reasons. These reasons could be extra education, college, or for helping the student catch up or improve in school. Getting paid for good grades could really pay off as an adult. It could help students for the future like paying for a house. Getting paid for good grades would be an awesome idea, but some people disagree. I think that this idea would make a kid so happy. 10-18-11 Penny:Love it!ps: I mostly love it because of the money part.

LIVING THINGS

Living things depend on each other. Some animals clean other animals.Some fish clean other fish. Cows give us milk.So we depend on them.

LAUGHTER

Some people say that laughing is good medicine. I think that it means that after you are feeling bad, a good laugh makes you feel better. I remember when I was feeling sick and my brother told me a joke. After that I felt better.
