I think schools should do more special events! For all the hard work we do for teachers to do good in school and get an education, shouldn’t we get a break? Can we get a time to shake it all off and have some time to goof off? Well the person who’s typing this thinks so too! If we give you a gift for working hard and being good students, I think we should get a gift for doing more special events. Some who have a different opinion might say we already do a lot of special events and we don’t need to do more. If we did more special events, it would be overboard. Another thing is I think we should do some special events and some fun events mixed together. When we don’t get the fun events we want that’s when I call school boring. I think we should do more physical events like going outside, playing catch and sprint races. I also think we should do more controlled games on the computer, playing on the Wii and Xbox360 Kinect. If we could do these things our school would be a active place.

Mrs. Vanreenan wrote assemblies, panther holidays, green light, after school programs etc. So that tells me there is a lot of special activities but we do not do them often.

Have you ever heard of the word perseverance? Well, perseverance means never give up even if something is hard to reach what you want. That is one thing that is in John Henry. In John Henry, he made a bet with another person. When he lost, he had to leave the town. But before he left the town, somebody gave him two twenty pound hammers so he will be able to face the steam drill and come back to town. He risked his life to come back to the town. It is John Henry vs. technology… Who will win? Find out in this book. Also there is a surprise at the end of the story. Read to find out what will happen in this story or legend. I would recommend this book to ages 9 and up because at the end of the story, there is some inappropriate stuff that ages 8 and under are not allowed to hear. I also recommend this book to children who want to achieve goals and want to know how to goal set. If you want to know how to goal set, this is the book for you! I liked the part when John Henry got his two twenty pound hammers because it was kind of exciting part and I like exciting events. Do you like exciting events? If you do, then I think you will like this part. I also like the part when did not give up so he did not have to stay away from the town.

Comments: Asha-very interesting Daniel!
