Well I knew she 3 t-shirts $8.00 a peace so I added 8+8+8=$24 and a pair of shorts costing 12.00 so I added that to the $24 and that $36.00 and she left with $5.00 so I added that to $36 that was $41 in all. -
I added 8 + 8 + 8= 24 + 12 + 5 = 41. -
This is what I did I added $8 3 times(one time=one t-shirt and she bought three t-shirts)Then I added the $12 (the $12=one pair of shorts) Finally I added the $5 because she left the store with $5 and My answer was $41. -
All I did was I did $8x3,that equaled 24.After that I add $12 and I got $36, then I added $5 to $36 and I got $41. -

Mackenzie U. - I wanted to know how much $ did she start with?
So I knew that she bought 3 t-shirts that cost $8 a piece and a pair of shorts that cost $12. She left the store with $5. Then I added up 8 3 times and that gave me 24, so then I added 24 + 12 and that was 36. So then I took 36 and I added 5 to it and that was an answer of 41 dollars. So 41 dollars was my answer.
I found how much $ did she start with?- May 5, 2011

Title: Lou Gehrig
This book is about a good baseballer who got a sickness that can't be stopped and it just eventually kills you. He died at 37 yeas old that is young to die at.
I would recommend it to kids and adults that are interested in baseball. Then I would not recommend it to kids and adults that do not like baseball. Why? Because they would not probably not be interested to read it. I think it is sad that Lou Gehrig died because of a bad disease.

Kelsey H. - Title: Only Passing Through
Summery: Isabella had gotten sold to a whiteman who spokeEnglish. Sadly Isabella spoke Dutch. But another reasaon why this was bad was because every single little thing that Issabella did wrong in stead of her master saying, " I am so Sorry you did did that one a little bit wrong may you please retry that job for me?" Instead of the nice words he got a whip and whacked poor Issabella on the back. Blood would always stream down her back REALLY fast!

Jillian L. - What I did is I added up 19 dollars because the shorts were 19 dollars then I added up 8 dollars and then another 8 dollars and then I added up 7 dollars because that is how much money Jake had when he left the store and all of that money together was 42 dollars.

Mackenzie U. - This is the way I did it:
I wanted to know how much money did he start with.
So I knew that Jake spent $19 on a new pair of shorts and $8 on EACH of the 2 shirts he bought. He left the store with $7. I added $ 19 + $16 (since 8 + 8 = 16) and that equaled $35 dollars. Then I added $7 dollars to that since it said how much money did he START with, and the answer to that was $ 42 dollars. So my answer is $ 42 dollars.
I found how much money did he start witPr- Apr 19, 2011

Emily P. - What I did was I added up the shorts (which was $19.00),the 2 pairs of shirts(which were $8.00 each),and the $7. I added up the $7 because it said,"How much money did he start with?" That means all the money that he had to begin with. My answer was $42. Problem... $19.00+$8.00=$27, $27.00 + $8.00+$35, $35 +$7=$42.

LIFT A LINE
We have practiced "lifting a line." That is when you take a sentence or two from a text that is difficult to understand and try to make meaning of it.
Considerations for "lifting a line:"
• What do you think the author means? Why do you think this?
• What is your understanding?
• What don't you understand?
• What do you wonder?
• How could the author have said that a different way?
YOUR ASSIGNMENT: REPLY TO THIS POST!!!
Write the TITLE of the text.
COPY the LINE you are lifting.
WRITE your thoughts.
Here's my example:
Text: Because of Winn Dixie
Line: "And right at that minute, right when the three of us had decided to be friends, who should come marching into the Herman W. Block Memorial Library but old pinch-faced Amanda Wilkinson."
My thoughts: I get the feeling that India Opal felt that she had a really good thing happening, making friends with Miss Frannie Block. That is, until Amanda Wilkinson arrived. The text said she "marched." That gives me the impression that she was walking formally and with purpose, it almost sounds like Amanda was sure to ruin India Opal's new friendship. It doesn't sound like Amanda is going to be much of a friend because she is "pinch-faced." Sounds to me like she is a grouch. I wonder whether or not Amanda will ruin the new friendship.LIFT A LINEShow Full Post

Text : Heaven is for Real
Line: "What did Jesus look like? I said. Abruptly, Colton put down his toys and looked up at me. Jesus has markers. What? Markers Daddy, Jesus has markers."
My thoughts: I am thinking that the little boy Colton ment that Jesus had red blood from the nails in his hands and feet during the time he was on the cross. I think this because Colton a 3 year old would not know what blood is so he just said the color then what he thought the red stuff was. I wonder if the book will ever say if the nails went more...- Apr 4, 2011

Author: Rick Riordan
Line: Dan Cahill thought he had the most annoying sister on the planet. And that was before she set fire to two million dollars.
My Thoughts: My understanding is that Dan dose not like his sister and he dose not like enany less he even more that she just set fire on two million dollars. I just do not get why he would say that. In the book she helps him a lot and she is annoying but not that annoying that he has to say that she is the most annoying sister on the planet someone in the book is ardey more...- Apr 4, 2011

John K. - -Title:Percy Jackson & the olympians The Lightning Thief
Author: Rick Riordon
Line: "Mount Olympus," I said. "your telling me there is really a palace there?"
My thoughts: I think that Percy thought that there is no such thing as Olympus. I think that Percy was shocked when he figured out that Olympus was real. I wonder what Percy's reaction will be when he figures out a lot of the stuff about aceint greek that he thought was fake is actully real. I think that Percy is suprised.

I do not understand that he is the one pulling the balls out because the 6th graders do that not 7th graders. I understand that pulling balls out of the bushes was not fun and he wants to play in the game because he is tiererd of pulling the balls out.- Apr 5, 2011

Christian T. - Title: The Lost Hero
Author: Rick Riordan
Line: Piper soon realized Annabeth's heart wasn't in the tour. She talked about all this amazing stuff the camp offered--magic archery, pegasus riding, the lava wall, fighting monsters--but she showed no excitement, as if her mind were elsewhere.
I understand the meaning of this sentence is that Annabeth didn't really care about the tour. I wonder why she doesn't care when it seems like there are so many fun things to do. I understand that she must be thinking about something else and she can't more...- Apr 6, 2011

Eliza B. - My book is "little house in the big woods"

Mackenzie U. - Text: Thea Stilton and the Dragon’s Code
Line: It meant “one more crossing the threshold of knowledge, never one less!” It was one of the many things about Mouseford that I admired.
My understanding: I understand that Thea is going to teach at Mouseford academy. One of the things that Thea admired is the schools motto. I think the author means that there is always one more person that is learning and their is never one less. I don’t understand what the word threshold means. I think it means that someone or somebody is knocking on the door into the world of more...- Apr 6, 2011

My thoughts: I have no idea savvy is. I thought it was magic because it sounded like a magical word. I understand is not a sickness or disease or magic or sorcery because the grandpa says it in the book. I don’t understand what savvy is because it’s your blood. But I don’t know what it does.

I guessed but I tryed to do my best guess. I had to guess 10 pencils. I voted for that because I could not figure it out. I also guessed that because it made the most sence out of all of them! That is why I voted for 10 pencils!
-
I added $.79 untill I got something very close to $8.00. I got 9 pencils.
-
I did it like this... multiplied $.79 by 9,8,10,and 11 and I realized 10 was the closest answer so that's what I answer.
