As I quickly pushed opened the door, the heavenly smell of a Big Mac hit my nose. My body melted. My brain turned into clouds as I walked over the register. I glanced up at menu, sparkling at me like old Las Vegas lights. I scanned back and forth unable to decide what sandwich to buy. Should I get a salad? Nah! I looked at each picture with a number. I looked over the teenage cashier to get a better look at what is available. Fries- definitely salty fries. Oh my arteries! Okay I stare into those young eyes of the cashier and order the same old thing: Number one with a diet Coke. Digging through my purse like a pup looking for my credit card, I give it to him to pay. Minutes later, my white bag with golden arches is handed to me. I click my heels when I skip to the door to leave. By Ms. Mitchell

Looking at Lights

2008-12-20T19:07:00.006-06:00

One of the most favorite things Spencer and I like to do during the holidays is to get hot chocolate and look at Christmas lights. We drive to Valero, buy piping hot chocolate, and drive slowly through the neighborhood "oohhhhing" and "aaaahhhing" at the Christmas lights and displays.

Write a quick poem 15 words or More. Ciao~ Ms. Mitchell

The Cristmas lights twinkled on and off on and

off.The stockings are hung low by the the

fireplace.The milk and cookies waiting to be

eaten.snow fell lightly.As Cristmas night rose and fell.

M.G.C.

hot chocolate so warm so good as you say

yame you r mom say this is a famly favriet

we drink it on this porch and look at the lights as

they shine on the street

n.m.m

I feel the Hot chocolate and it's so hot it is like fire

on top of fire in my hand but in a cup.

HEA

the sweat sizzling hot cocoa and the gingerbread

men standing there waiting to be eaten, outside

the cool Winter night blows cold wind

the light upon my eyes it was mr. jonhsen house

the big tree full of light and the big gingerman

Christmas lights shine above

in diffrent colors thatamazes me so

but every lane I seehas so much light I can't bare to see

oh its so good to see Christmas

lights that shine

so bright in what I can't

beleive

By:M.A.P

The lights shine as bright as the sun

the green tree has white some people call it snow some people call it hope.

The family gathers around the tree songs,love,together

a baby laughs and the world gets love forever

and never stops loving

By M.k.l

The green tree waiting for Santa to come

and leave the presents for the children

and saying ' ho ho ho and Merry Christmas'

A bright star on top of green pines .The stockings hang over a not hot but warm fire.Lights twinkle on the Christmas tree while old St.Nick gives candy and toys to good little girls and boys.When a little girl named Liaz Lou came and said "Santa is that you?"HOHOHOOO have a merry Christmas Liaz Lou.When she opened gifts she said"Thank you St.Nick".

M.G.C.

The case of Queen and king they have to decide before dark and war begin and they have to win

You sit by your tree with light all around it

and has a star on top of it and say

Merry Christmas to your family and friends and say hello.

because it can't move or talk.

Atherton By Patick Carman is an amazing book. It is on Bluebonnet list. After I read it, I sat there for 10 minutes allows the book's words and ideas rush over me like a waterfall. The book is THAT good!I found this video on Youtube and it is on his site. http://www.hachettebookgroupusa.com/features/atherton_full/atherton/index.html Be prepared to be awed!

How to Steal A Dog by Barbara O'Connor

2008-06-26T09:45:00.002-05:00

I LOVE this book. It is beautifully written with incredible realistic fiction ideals. B arbara O'Connor really hit the hearts of readers with the desperation of these children who are forced to live in a car. My emotions were right on my sleeve with every bad turn that just kept coming. After chapter one, I was recommending this book to all of my fellow teachers.
For reading, teachers can show character change over time with Georgina. Georgina really evolves from a tough, sassy little girl who is just trying to make her life normal to ... well you read the book!
Also, did you notice O'Connor mirrors what is happening to Georgina in what is happening to Willy? Awesome craft!
For writing, students can see the value of recording and planning of ideas. O'Connor shows how writing ideas may change over the course of writing.
For character building, students can learn how not to judge others until you know what situation they are in. This is a huge concept to teach students. It is so nice to have a book that beautifully illustrates that point that kids can understand. Did I tell you that I LOVE this book?
