We recycle. We reuse paper. We go to the igloos. We work in the cafeteria. We wear Green Team shirts.
Years ago, they used to use plastic forks and spoons at school and one day Mrs. Theriault and her class decided it was better to use regular silverware. Plastic is just thrown away and it fills the landfill. Factories that make it also pollute our air. This is not good. We can use silverware now because we stay in the lunchroom and make sure no one throws it away. If they forget, we grab it. That is when the Green Team started and it still goes on and on.

We think Mrs. Brissette should let us pick from the prize box. Since, we are so good and we read books. She also loves us and is nice. We think she will let us pick from the prize box because girls are her favorite and we are girls. We should also be able to pick from the prize box because we do our homework and get good grades.

Our opinion is that lock ins are fun and we should have one. One reason we should have a lock in is because when we are at the lock in we will not be bugging are parents,we will be at the lock in having fun and are parents will be home and we won’t be there to bug them.So please can we have a lock in?
Another reason is we should have a lock in is because we are trustworthy and we have never break anything at school anything in the school.We don’t usually break anything at school.Thats why I think we should, please.

We think our parents should take us to the movies. I think they should take us because we are so nice. We help clean the house. Another reason is we do well at school and get good grades. Also, they love us and they tell us this all the time. We think they would take us if we paid for it. I would use my saved money.

Ms. Hathaway is the best teacher ever because she is more fun than other teachers.
She is more fun than other teachers because she gives us candy and hugs. She does not give us a lot of homework, and she helps us alot. She likes us more than other teachers because all the other teachers don’t like us. Ms. Hathaway is better than other teachers because she is older and has more experience.
When asked if she thinks she is the best teacher ever she said “No.”

You should read because they are awesome. You can learn a lot by reading books. The books that Rush Limbaugh made books to help me Learn about our country. Reading books can help you learn new words and even how to spell these words. You can read chapters with adventures like Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

This is Nathaniel Labreck and Cassidy Moore, and we are telling you to keep specials in school. We think specials should be kept in school because they teach you things. You can learn things like how to play an instrument and they help you with your art skills. Another reason is that they’re fun because you can make things, hang out with friends, and do activities.

We want to play video games! We should play them when we get home and if we don’t have homework. They are good for your muscles and fingers and they make you smarter.
