Cell Phones

I think children should have cell phones. If children had cell phones they would be safer, could help when there are accidents, and keep in touch their with parents.  That’s why I think you should let young children have a cell phone.

Cell phones can help children to be safer. If a child got lost he could use his cell phone to call home. Also If you are on the bus and you do not know where the bus is going you would need to call your mom, or you are at your friends house and you guys are jumping on the bed and we fall of  the bed you would need to call your mom to tell her and if it is the first day of school and you were walking to school.

For example this is way you can have a phone for an accident if  you go to your friend’s house and if you guys have too much fun your head can hurt or if you eat too much you will not feel good and you will have to call your mom to say that you went to the hospital because your finger almost broke. You would need to call. Also if you are jumping in the bed you can hurt yourself.

Here is a reason you should have a phone so you can keep touch with your parents. If you go to the park and you say mom I will run left and you run right that way I can meet you at the park. When you do a mile and you got lost you would need to tell your mom or dad i’m lost. I don’t know where i’m at and they told you keep in touch with me. That would be another reason to.Here is another reason you should have a phone just to keep in touch.  If you go to six flags and you go on a ride and you got lost after you got of you would need to call your mom.

I think you should just have phones to keep in touch with your parents and also because they need to be safe and also if there is an accident. All those 3 reasons that i just gave you those are the reasons you should have a phone at school home if your with your friends and all those places you go.What do you think should we have phones for safety  accidents and keeping in touch with your parents?

Better Lunch Choices

If schools add more choices on the menu then kids would buy hot and healthy lunches and I know I want more choices.

If schools added more varieties of fruits and vegetables that are yummy and organic, kids will choose healthier options. Healthy lunch choices will make kids eat well and if they’re yummy the kids won’t even know the difference. We can also have healthier and yummier drinks.

I think cafeterias should be like Soup Plantation where there is a bread table, soup table, dessert table, appetizers, salad bar,and a meat table. That would be awesome right? Schools would pay more money but they would get money but they would get money back because kids would buy lunch more and moms and dads would put more money in their child’s account.

Kids make their parents spend too much money on lunches and  sometimes the kids just waste what their parents spend money on. But if we add more items to our lunch menu then the kids won’t waste their food because they’ll like the food better and their parents won’t spend as much money buying food.

I bet me and those other kids would like that so please get some healthier and yummier lunch choices, and thank you for reading.

Smoking is harmful

I think smoking should be illegal because smoking can be very harmful to you and your body too. It can also be harmful to other people who are around you when you are smoking.Around 5 million people die from smoking each year, and around 3,000 people die from second hand smoking each year.

Lots of people really hate smoking. About 5 million people die each year from smoking. Smoking is very bad for the user and also others too. I think smoking should be illegal and I don’t even know why it isn’t yet.

Smoking is not only bad for the user but for others too. If you are smoking next to another person, it creates second hand smoking. About 3,000 people die from second hand smoke. Second hand smoke is just like the other person is smoking. They can have the very harmful things happen to them too.

Smoking is mostly bad for the user. It can be fatal and shut down the brain. Did you know about 430,000 people die from smoking tobacco each year? There are about 7,000 bad chemicals in a cigarette, and at least 70 of the chemicals cause cancer.

A cigarette is just a stick filled with thousands of chemicals that causes lots of bad things to you, your body, and others too. What do you think, should we have a “smoking only place” for those who want it? Should smoking be illegal?

We need more homework

We need more homework

We need a lot of homework so we don’t get too lazy. We can also get challenged at home and get smarter. More homework will help us learn so we are ready for tests.

More homework will get you closer to your family. When you need help your whole family will crowd around and help you with your work. Also you won’t get bored, and not become a lump ball (a person that is too lazy).

More homework will give you a good education and also a good career. It will get you ready for all the next grades and all the way to college!

More homework will really help you. So if you have more homework you will have a good life. The more homework you do, the more you learn to go forward in school. Also you will take one step closer to a better future!

Yeah for snow cone Fridays

Yummy snow cones!

Every Friday we should have snow cone Friday for just two dollars! It’s easy to make, snow cones are really tasty, and lots of kids will get really excited to have snow cones every Friday! Sisters, brothers, parents, and really anyone is invited.

Kids loves snow cones especially on hot days. We can also raise money for our school, like for P.E. equipment and school supplies. Our school will get more education with better school supplies. We can get more books and better computers. I think raising money for school is a great idea! It will be so fun when we have new school supplies.

Kids will get excited to go to school every Friday knowing they will get snow cones. Kids will  listen better so they won’t get in trouble because that way teachers will let them go get snow cones after school. So, kids will get out of bed and rush to school to get snow cones.

 Even though snow cones are sugary they can be healthy. We can put less high fruit corn syrup and we will have less sugar. We can use lots of vitamins and calcium. It is healthy, tasty, and kids are happy all at the same time.

All kids think it’s a great idea for having snow cones on Friday. The school is raising money, kids are excited, and it can be healthy all at the same time! If we had snow cones at our school I would get it every Friday and so would my friends! Do you think we should have snowcone Friday.

Bring back the chocolate milk

Two whole years ago our school banned chocolate milk because it was unhealthy but I know something that might bring it back to our school. Chocolate milk can be healthy. Kids really like chocolate milk so they’ll drink it and many kids are tired of getting just plain old milk. Kids will buy chocolate milk so the school will earn money. These are some of the reasons I think our school should bring back chocolate milk.Chocolate milk can be healthy you know. For example TruMoo chocolate milk is healthier than Hershey’s chocolate milk, Horizon chocolate milk, and even Silk chocolate soymilk. TruMoo chocolate milk is healthy because it has less sugar, it has less calories, there is no artificial sweeteners, there is no extra fat. Now that sounds like a healthy drink to me.

Guess what? Chocolate milk can get the school more money. Do you know how? Well two years ago when our school banned chocolate milk kids stopped buying school lunch because there was no chocolate milk, and guess what while the school had chocolate milk kids were taking two chocolate milks because they liked it so much. To stop kids from doing that I  consider that whenever you see a kid doing that tell them that they can’t take two chocolate milks and tell them that taking two chocolate milks is why the school banned chocolate milk in the first place. But guess what? Maybe even more kids will buy school lunch because of the chocolate milk.

Did you know that bringing back chocolate milk will influence kids to drink milk? Well it probably will. Even though its chocolate milk it’s still milk and it still provides you with vitamins and calcium. So it’s a tasty lunch while you are still getting the Vitamins and Calcium.

This has been why I want the school to bring back chocolate milk and I really hope you agree with me and try to bring back chocolate milk.

We need a grass field

Our dirt field hurts when you fall on it.

I think it would be better to have a grass field we could play new games, have more soccer fields, and people won’t get hurt.

I would like a grass field so we can play football it will keep you from getting hurt. I asked the nurse and she said that every day 5 people come in with a scratched knee or something because of the gravel on the dirt field.

Not only football will be better we can have muiltiple soccer field’s. People fall down playing soccer and they won’t get hurt. With more fields you can play a full game and you won’t get hurt.  You only score one goal then it’s the next game.

We can also play new games like kick ball. We banned kick ball because people where getting hit with the ball then they fall and get hurt. Well in grass if you fall you usually don’t get hurt maybe they twist their wrist but that usually doesn’t hurt at all.

I hope that you think these reasons are good and that you will get a grass field instead of dirt so kids won’t get hurt.

Alcohol is bad for you

Cosa NeraAlcohol can be bad for you in many ways. Your brain, heart, and many other parts of your body are changed with the alcohol. Next I will tell you how the body changes.

The alcohol affects the brain. The brain functions slower when you drink too much, as well as not being able to walk normal. Instead of talking you slur. It causes mixed messages to your brain, which will cause serious damage.

This is how it affects your heart and liver. The heart rate speeds up, and you get low blood pressure. You have a higher chance of having a stroke. The alcohol is processed in the liver.Over time it can cause a fatty liver (abundance of fat.)

Alcohol can change our behavior if we drink too much. When your behavior changes you either become tired, aggressive, and hyper. Also people do things that they would not do if you had not have drank that much, like giving everyone a hug or wanting to fight.

I feel alcohol is not worth the side effects that control your body. I don’t feel safe around people that drink a lot of alcohol. Now that I have told you about what it can do go help me make a difference.

Do kids need cell phones?

Did you know 800,000 children get lost per year? Cell phones can change this problem. If a kid is lost in a crowd the kid will be able to contact supervision. Think of a kid lost with no cell phone they would run around looking for their parents and the parents looking for them. Chaos, right? That is only one way cell phones can help kids.

Kids always want to be with friends. If we had a cell phone it would feel like being with them. Some people in that are a part family don’t live us so we can contact them and the cell phone fixes that problem too.

Do kids really need cell phones?

Kids get bored very often. Phones can have apps are able to be on phones so we can learn, play, use the internet, and other ways to use time. Some games are both playing and education games like cloud math and chalkboard math.

Cell phones can help in many different ways. Those are to contact supervision, call people, and to entertain. That’s why I think kids should have cell phones.

Kids needs a longer recess time

This is a kids playground.

Can you imagine what it would be like if kids had longer recess time. If we had a longer recess we would have time to eat a healthy snack. We would also have time to play and run around. If you have longer recess kids will like school more. I think recess should be longer.

If  the school had longer recess, more kids will like school and some kids will get to eat their snacks and play. Sometimes kids want to eat their snack but they don’t get enough time to play. Say that I was eating my snack and I don’t get enough to play, tetherball, backstop, wall ball, and all the other stuff I want to do.

We need to eat snack to be healthy. We need to be healthy so we can have a healthy mind and ready to learn. Kids need to be nutritious. We need to run and get exercise at recess so we can be healthy. Being healthy is very important.

I think we should have a 30 minute recess. So we can can eat our snack for at least 10 minutes and play for 20 minutes. The reason why we don’t have longer recess is because, they think that we should have more learning time then playtime. I think we already have enough learning time.

Kids Should Not Have Cell Phones

Should kids have cell phones?

I think kids should not have cells because they can hurt  you. Most kids say they need a cell because if I get lost I need a way to talk to people, but really even if you get lost in the middle of nowhere you still you would have no coverage for a cell.

Cell Phones can cause cancer and cause learning problems.They can hurt the brain by sending singles and receiving calls. And they can hurt kids more because they are still growing.

They can also take away from family and friend time. and will make you anti social and you will start to ignore people. You might get addicted as well which will make it hard to stop. they can make you start to be mean to other people.

Kids should not have cell phones for many reasons. that is why i am typing this, so if you would tell your kids or kids tell your brain. I think you should not get a cell phone…until you are at least 11 years old.

Buy Alternative Cars

I think alternative cars are better and we should buy them instead of regular old cars. Fuel is running out and it means regular cars won’t be able to start up anymore. Regular cars pollute the air. Alternative cars save money on gas.

Regular cars pollute air and if we keep polluting the air we cannot live. The air around us will be dirty and smoggy. Regular cars are bad for the environment.

There is not a lot of fossil fuel left so regular cars will not be able to run when there is no fuel. Alternative cars do not use fossil fuels so that means they can run without fossil fuels. Scientists say that fossil fuels will run out in about one hundred years. We need to find other vehicles for transportation.

When you drive alternative cars you also save money on gas. Gas prices cost like $3.93 per gallon and that’s a lot!  Alternative cars cost zero dollars for gas and that’s a difference. We could save money to buy other things.

Alternative cars are better for the environment. They don’t cost as much because they don’t use gas. They don’t pollute the air.  Alternative cars are the future of cars.

Kids need more games

Kids need more games to play during rainy day recess.

Kids need more games. On rainy day recess kids have to stay inside and that’s a problem. Many kids don’t have fun games to play or any games at all. There is no games for inside recess we need board game like chess or checkers.

Our classroom doesn’t have any board games. In my class I can only draw or play on the computer.

In my class we have a thing is called Friday fun we always have to borrow from the P.E teacher. Not much classes has balls and toys. Some classes at our school do not have any P.E equipment like balls and bats.

Now kids just stand around and get in trouble and just talk during rainy day recess.

We need more balls and more game for the outside. Like a grass field for soccer and football.We need more balls because some of our balls are really flat. We need physical activity like running and kicking.

Less or more homework?

I think that We should have less homework because sometimes people are very busy and can’t do some of the things we like and are parents have to wast some of their time. Plus we can’t bond with are family and it does not help us on test. we will be too tired to work the next day

We have no time to have fun with our family because if we are in our room alone all day and my mom does not come in because she just wants me to finish my homework.  Than me and my family cannot eat together and play fun games and we can’t watch our family shows me and my mommy can’t read together and I go play with my Dad. And me and my brothers can’t walk my dogs. When my sister comes home I’m always doing homework. If we had less homework then we could play and have fun with our family all day long and we could bond better our family too.

Some kids complain a lot because they might be in the middle of coloring then they have to stop and do homework. But if we have less homework than right when they get home they can do there homework and have the rest of the day to do what they want to do.   I love to go to my art class but I have so much homework that sometimes I can’t go and I have to stay home and do my homework. If we are always doing homework than we can’t find out what we love to do and want to do in the future. And we will not have we will get bad grades. And I will have no time to read and practice multiplication and if I can’t read then I can’t let my imagination

Most teachers think that if we have     If we have more homework it actually does not improve are test score because in elementary school it does not help on test say a homework scientist and when kids get tired their brain shuts down should not have more homework because it would just tire us out and we would be tired for the test.

This also effects money problems because parents have to sit down with you and they cannot work and you eat worse to because senses you parents are helping you with homework they can’t make a good dinner. And if we don’t have a good dinner than we won’t have enough brain food and our bodies won’t run and we will stay up late doing homework than we will be very tired for the next day.

When kids are done with their homework it is time eat dinner than take a shower and get in to their p.j s it is time for bed and they have no time to do everyday things. If we had less homework i would have so much more time.

So if we have less homework than we will have less stress and we will play outside more and be more active and we will have time to eat a healthy homemade Diner so we will be heather and we will be less stressed and we will go to bed earlier and we will go to bed earlier be ready to work very hard the next day.

Kids have too much homework

Do kids have too much homework?

Kids should have less homework because a lot of kids are complaining that there is a lot of homework to be done and parents can’t make a lot of money to go places.

Kids have less time to bond with their family because kids need time to bond with their family. Like girls should have time to bond with their moms and boys with their dads to be a proper boy or girl. They should have time to go out to dinner even I don’t get out go out to dinner. They also should get to play

Kids are getting too much stress. My friend Zachary stays out of school.   He had a lot of homework to be done. He finished but it took at least 2 or 3 days. Even in 4th grade they complain to. I don’t think that is right and so there is a lot of stress I think all around the world and kids need a break because when they come to school the next day the will come to school they will be tired and won’t focus good in class.

Parents don’t make a lot of money because they have to stay home and do homework with their kid or kids like my mom. We need less homework so kids can have food in their house. They need nice home to live in. So if kids have less homework than they have less stress are more active and eat better and are much and heifer.

Kids miss a lot of stuff like parties, soccer games, and other stuff. They don’t get there because of too much homework. Even moms and dads miss work or conferences. Kids want to go to the park and they can’t because they have too much homework to do. Kids can’t do what they want to do and by the time they finish their homework they have to eat diner and go to bed and there will be no play time. Tha’ts why I think we should have less homework.

A grass field for our school

I think it would be better to have a grass field we could play new games, have more soccer fields, and people won’t get hurt.

I would like a grass field so we can play football it will keep you from getting hurt I asked the nurse and she said that every day 5 people come in with a scratched knee or something.

Not only football will be better we can have multiple soccer fields. People fall down playing soccer. You only score one goal then it’s the next game. With more fields you can play a full game and you won’t get hurt.

We can also play new games like kick ball. We banned kick ball because people where getting hit with the ball then they fall and get hurt. Well in grass if you fall you usually don’t get hurt maybe they twist their wrist but that usually doesn’t hurt at all.

I hope that you think these reasons are good and that you will get a grass field instead of dirt so kids won’t get hurt.

Curie Needs a Digital School Sign

Digital signs are much better than static signs.

I think that Curie Elementary should have a digital school sign. I believe that the sign Curie has now is harder to switch letters and make sentences. The current sign cannot be seen from far away. The size of the sign does not give much space for information.

With our old sign, you have to change it all the time. Every day the janitor has to take out the letters by hand and replace them with new ones. If the letters are missing, then you might not be able to spell an important word correctly. It can take a lot longer to write something on the sign. A digital sign has the information typed into a computer. This lets you make changes easily and quickly.

The current sign has letters that are very small and hard to read. With a digital sign you could make the letters as big as you want. The current sign can’t be seen at night. The new digital sign would be very bright.

The current sign does not have much room for information. New sign could list lots of details about events at school. You could tell people what time the school starts and details about the school. When it is summer break kids could look at the sign, and they might want go to Curie. You could put on the sign when it is science night, the play, astronomy night, craft fair, or PTA meetings.

I think that a digital sign in front of the school would be a great improvement for Curie. It would help all of the Curie families know what is going on at school. It would be a way to tell the community about all of the great things that are happening at our school. These signs are expensive but maybe we could raise money by having a fundraisers like a rummage sale.
