Creative Writing - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - Challenge 3

Student Blogging Challenge 2013
Challenge #3

The challenge this week was to get creative and write about reducing, reusing, and recycling.  Mike wrote a great story!  

There was a  boy named Bob he likes to go swimming, and play soccer in the summer but  his favorite thing is to make art. He got inspired from his art teacher and he started to make art when he was 4 years old. One day there was  nothing to do he was bored. But suddenly! Bob got an idea he was going to make a art project. So he went upstairs to his room he grabbed all of his art supplies. Then he went down stairs he looked for some things he could used for his art project he found popcans, water bottles, plastic, and glass. Then he started on his project he threw the extra stuff in the recycling bin. He glued the pieces together finally he finished. Next day he tooked the project to school he showed it to everyone. One kid said  how did you made this ? thats a very good question Bob said. I used popcans for the eyes, some newspapers for the body, water bottles for the arms, and glass for the mouth,  and a cap for the nose. the art teacher said can I bring this to the museum Bob thinked about it then he said sure! So every year he would visit the museum  even when he became a adult he would still remember that  day working on it.

World Read Aloud Day


March 6th was World Read Aloud Day.
We learned that 793 million people cannot read!  We spent extra time reading that day.  We also thought of some ways that we could help people that don’t know how to read.  Here are some of our ideas:
We can read for them.
We can read to them.
We can help someone when they get stuck on a word.
We can give them a book that’s easier to read and then keep pushing them with harder books.
We can show little kids the pictures in a book..
We can give books away that we don’t read anymore.
 We can teach someone how to read.
We can be a good friend and not make fun of someone who can’t read well. 
We can record a book for people to listen to.

We can do a lot of things to help, what can you do?
