Everybody Journals!

We have been switching over to Google Docs for our blogging needs and so today we celebrated getting all the bugs (pardon the pun!) worked out by letting everybody blog!  We are so excited about using Google Docs!  First, the high schoolers will be moving to Google Docs this year, so we feel very "in" and prepared beyond our years! :)  Secondly, using this platform allows the students to blog without assistance from me to save to a flash drive and transfer it to the blog.  I'm still the Editor-In-Chief, but they can write, save and log off for the next person without any assistance!  Finally, it allows me more freedom and time to get the blogs posted!  You all have noticed, I'm sure that I go in spurts - when Room 18 gets busy, I tend to forget about getting the blogs posted!  Google Docs makes it a couple steps easier for me!

So, read on!  Enjoy the blogging by these amazing second graders!

The flag that could represent my family is a flag that was already made for the hole United States Of America.

The flag that I would want for my family is the one that had a blue back round       had thirteen stripes and about thirty - six stars on the United States Flag.

Did you know that the United States Flag wasn’t the first flag?   By- Krystiana

The that my family should have is a baby one since we pay attention to babies a lot the flag would look like a baby on the front and it’s crying .

Flags mean a lot even flags that don’t even exist.  what if there a flag  that had a  crack on it that meant fight .

Ok back to the baby flag I want a baby flag because I love babies there so delicate . The other one is that I have a baby sister .

Her name is Kensie she’s very smart but sensitive . She screams when I’m trying to sleep so when my mom get’s me up in the morning I snarl at her that reminds me when she puts stuff on me at night I fight her I my sleep .

Topic:  How do signs help us?

How sign makers help us know where to go is because he or she first thinks then they write it and sometimes they put up the signs at night.                                                                               Why the sign maker puts up the signs at night is because a lot of people   aren’t outside   driving on the road.  The sign maker sometimes put up signs that sais danger and DEAD END signs. Why the sign maker puts up those kind of signs is because those signs mean you could crash into cars, trucks, jeeps and tanks. Sometimes the sign maker puts up signs By-Krysti 

Signs help us know where to go because they are in capital letters. Why they are in capital letters people are thinking it is so important so they will just stop. Also if there is an arrow pointing witch way to go then people will go that way. There could probly be an emergency on the other side. Importantly is the DEAD END sign. If it says dead end then don’t go there. So we read am book about signs and now I ‘m starting to know what signs mean. Like GO and STOP. That’s what I know about signs.

Now let me tell you about the arrows. So if it is pointing to the left go to the left don’t go the right. If it is pointing strait go strait don’t go to the right or left GO STRAIT! So that’s what I know about the arrows an also the signs.  By Carlysha.

Signs help you because if we don’t have stoplights how will people know were to stop ? If there’s a store with good food but they don’t have that says good food here then what will people eat rotten food ? Yuk ! I like signs cause we could get in a car acsedant or are we could get a stomach ach .

            I like the DEAD END sign cause it’s makes some people scarred . The hospital sign is VERY important cause if there is one driver and he doesn’t know were he’s going and he has a sick person in the back there a hospital sign . The sign STOP and GO is the most important one to me cause I want to go the quicker way to school . By-Delaney

Signs are to help  people now what way your going signs can say stop, slow down, hill there is all kinds of signs. If signs are not put where they  by Larz
