Water Conservation

     It is important to save water resources. We may run out of clean water. Because if waste it now we won’t have it later. So instead of playing in the water we only need to use it when we need it the most. Playing while your washing your hands can waste five gallons the more you play in the water. You can turn faucet off more quickly when you’re brushing your teeth.Don’t leave the water on whole time you brush your teeth it can save ten gallons of  water. Then when you take a shower you can set a timer to ten or fifteen minutes. So you can save twenty to thirty gallons of water every time you take a shower. If we all start saving water and using less, then we can save a lot!

Davey and Charlie shared half a box of crackers.  They each had 20 crackers.  How many crackers did the box have when it was full? 

20+20=40 I did that because that is how many they ate in all. So then 40x 2 =80 so 80 is how many were in the box. Then I subtracted 80-40 =40 I did that so could make sure 40 was half of 80 I did that because they ate 40 which is half of 80.  Because if you did 40+40 you would get 80. So 80 crackers is my answer.

An Animal Conflict

On a Monday morning in a nice quiet neighborhood with lots of  trees  lived many birds such as robins,  cardinals,  bluejays, and woodpeckers.  Everyone loved their neighborhood, even other animals.  There were three animals who were friends, a dog, a cat, and a woodpecker. Teddy,  the dog, Cookie, the cat, and Wood, the woodpecker.  One day Cookie whined,  “I want to eat something.” Teddy responded  “You’re always complaining.” ‘  No I’m not.”   “Yes you are.”  “No.”   “That’s your opinion.”  Wood flew down from the sky.   She was very nice and a peacemaker.   She stated, “Why are you two arguing? ”  “You two shouldn’t argue with each other.”  “We should act like friends to one an other.”  They started to settle down and were calm once again.  The neighborhood was peaceful again, too.   Monday was over.  The next week Teddy and Cookie had more arguments and those were even worse. The arguments kept getting worse and worse and worse until the fifth week.  Then the arguments were serious.  It head to head combat.  Teddy and Cookie had a big fight, “I’m going to get you!” Teddy yelled, “I’m going to get you!” Cookie declared in a stern voice. Cookie took the first strike, but he missed.  Teddy ferociously growled.  Wood the woodpecker looked in horror and couldn’t believe that her friends were actually fighting.   She flew down again  broke up the fight by yelling “Stop!”  “just please stop!”  She uttered “This is know way to settle a dispute. “We shouldn’t use violence.”   She made them finally  realize to never to use violence ever again.  They never used it ever ever again. They all stayed friends forever.
