MLK Day Vs. Veteran's Day

I think that if the district thinks it's important to be at school on Veteran's Day and learn about the veterans than we should be at school on Martin Luther King Jr. Day because Martin Luther King Jr. was just as important as the veterans of the United States. Veterans fought for our country risking their lives for our freedom, but Martin Luther King Jr. also did great things like fought for other peoples rights at his own risk.

The Fungus That Kills Bats

There is a fungus called White- Nosed syndrome, and it's affecting hibernating bats the most. So far, the fungus has killed millions of bats eastern U.S. Scientists have found the fungus in a 390 mile long cave ( Kentucky's Mammoth Cave National Park.) The cave has been closed for closed to the public for close to 100 years, but they are allowing it to stay open. They are making careful precautions in order to make tourists safe. This syndrome is causing these bats to behave awkwardly. All we can do is hope for the best and pray for these bats.

The First Time I Watched Gone With The Wind

The first time I watched Gone with the Wind was on Sunday and I loved it! My favorite character was probably Melanie because even though Scarlet did some mean things, she still was nice to her and made everyone else be nice to her too. My least favorite part of the movie was when Scarlet went home from Atlanta with Melanie and her baby and found out that her mother had died and her dad had become a lunatic.

 Dear Mrs. DeBolt:

Hi! My name is Emma Knickman. I thought it would be nice if we got to know each other. My top favorite colors are lime green, sky blue, and light pink. My favorite food is probably my mom's chicken topped with sauteed peppers and onions topped with provolone cheese.

Some hobbies I like to do are to read, cook, and play sports. My favorite book series is probably the Paranormalcy series. I really like to make homemade cookies around the holidays. My favorite sport to play is volleyball, and my favorite sports to watch are football and baseball.

I don't have very much experience with computers except to go to Microsoft Word. Since I don't have very much experience with computers i don't really have a favorite thing to do on computers. Something I would really like to learn about computers would be to be able to make a Power Point. Also, I would like to learn how to be able to have all the animations on my Power Point.

Sincerely,

Emma Knickman

The Girl in the Mirror

The girl in the mirror looked at herself questionably. She wondered if she was pretty in that dress. She wondered if she was as perfect as everyone thought she was. Could she really be beautiful? 

Everyone is different in there own way. No one has the same fingerprints as you. When you were born, your mold was broken. You were the start of your life... just like you are special.

My AR Goal for 3rd Quarter

Just a few days age I took the star reading test for 3rd quarter. My 2nd quarter reading level was 11.8, and my goal was 24.5 points but I made it to 100 points. This quarter when I took the star reading test, however I went down to a 9.5 reading level with a goal of 24.5 points. My teacher though, Ms. Page, thought that I had a way higher reading level than that and put me back up to an 11.8 reading level with 100 points as my goal since I'm already at 50 points for the quarter.
