aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa = = Global Warming by Griffin

An iceberg fell off of a glacier supposedly because of the heat in the arctic. Glaciers have retreated in the last past years, some have even gone away from the mountains they're on. Even polar ice caps are melting and the arctic animals are dying. That's why global warming should be our highest priority.

I think we need alternative energy sources to power the world. Like those smart cars that run on electricity, though they only have forty mile per gallons. I just think we need better cars than that! I read on a website about an electric car company named Zap. They are the leading electric car company in the U.S. They are making an electric car called the Alias. It will be a high performance sports car and will be affordable. We need more companies like that.

I see more cars this year than last year. My friend Julio was walking by a road and a truck went by, exhaust went towards Julio and he inhaled it in and started coughing. That’s why we need more environmentally friendly cars. There is a hole in ozone layer because of all those cars and power plants being used. I heard using electronics is one of the reasons of global warming. Have you ever seen the exhaust that comes out of cars? That’s what is polluting the air. One of my peers, Shawn said while he was driving he saw toxins coming from a factory and he couldn't see through them because how thick they were. Shawn said he noticed that exhaust looks thicker in bigger cars than smaller ones. I read in a book that scientists think that global warming will excel and will keep on going on for fifty to one hundred years. Other people should care about global warming too because it will affect everyone. .  Day At School

“Here's your new school honey. Have a good day,” Cloe's mom said. Cloe just stared at the school in disbelief. She thought to herself .I can't believe I just moved and now my mom expects me to have a good day! Cloe got out of the car and started walking towards the front entry way. She stood at the door fearing the inside. She hadn't even gone inside to see if she liked it or not! After a few painstaking seconds she opened the door. She looked inside for room 24. Thats the number her mom wrote on a sticky note for her. She looked to the left and saw it,she walked toward it nervously opened the door, walked in put her backpack up on a hook and sat down. Everybody was talking except for her she didn't know whom to talk to. Then the teacher started to talk. “I need you to all sit down ,I am now passing out your tests so stop talking,”the teacher announced.

“Ooh yeah a test!” Cloe silently whispered.

“Nerd,” The class bully whispered back. Unfortunately for Cloe the bully of the class was seated next to her. Ignoring the bully she continued her test. After twenty minutes she finished. When people saw her to get up to hand her test into her teacher people whispered to each other

“We had a whole hour to finish!”Cloe 's cheeks turned red and she sat back to her seat. Usually the teacher doesn't let you read books after your done with the test, but this time she made an exception. Cloe was all alone with her thoughts well at least no one to talk to. Then after the time was up she was so bored and didn't know what to do. “Okay class hand in your tests,” The teacher said. Everybody got up to hand in there tests then sat down.”Briiiiiiiiiiiiiingg!”the bell gave a shock to the class.

“Class line up so we can go out side.'' the teacher announced to everyone. The whole class lined up and marched out side like little soldiers. Cloe ran out the doors and was wandering who to play with. She scanned the playground but none of the games that were being played seemed welcoming. Cloe was also very shy. After five minutes she gave up and started to walk alone.

Then a kid came up and tagged her she realized what was going on and chased him to the slide and slid down the slide as fast as she could. As she got off the slide all of the people playing tag surrounded her. It was quiet for just for a few seconds and then all of a sudden like a shot from a unexpected gun they broke out in laughter like hyenas in the African safari. Cloe was so very angry, she didn't see way her hair being up was so funny, she know what to do. After a torturing five laughing seconds she finally broke out in tears. Everybody stopped, realizing the damage they've done. Cloe while crying ran over to the recess supervisor who deals with all the problems out on the playground. All the kids scattered when they realized she was snitching on them. Some of them were hiding in the tractor tires rolled over on there sides, some in the tunnels others behind the cement wall keeping the gravel inside the play area. They all watched intently wondering what was going to happen. Cloe was pouring her heart out to the recess teacher. The recess teacher was looking for hiding kids because he knew how kids act and knew they usually hide when in trouble. They where not very good hiders because the recess supervisor found about all of them within five minutes. They could tell the kids were scared. The recess supervisor is very broad shouldered almost looked like he was in the military before this occupation He is very bald. Also wore black sun glasses and usually a red sweater.

“Why were you laughing at this little girl! It's her first day for her and you pick on her!”The supervisor talked in a stern voice.”Now say sorry.” “We're sorry,” The crowd said in unison. The crowd of bullies turned away including the class bully. “Oh no this day is already turning bad,” Cloe thought to her self. Then a strange girl interrupted her thoughts. This girl was wearing a yellow shirt with a abstract flower on it,with shorts and pinkish red flip fops. “Hi I'm Patty.” Cloe didn't know who she was at all. “I saw all those bullies laughing at you and felt bad,”she said sympathetically.”I wanted to see if you wanted to swing on the swings with me?”

“Sure,” Cloe said excitedly. They ran over to the swings. When they started the swings creaked like they've been used for fifty years. They probably have been too. Finally the bell rang and they went inside to her classroom.

When they got inside the teacher was waiting down at the carpet. When they all arrived and sat down at the carpet, the teacher started to read a book for the last part of the day. Cloe had already sat down when patty came over and sat down near her. The book the teacher was reading in her old hickory rocking chair was  David Gets In Trouble. All the class enjoyed reading time even the class bully. Cloe finally relaxed and enjoyed the story.

After about fifteen minutes the the bell rang, the teacher stopped reading and everybody got their backpacks to leave. Everybody lined up at the door,the teacher opened the door and lead the line of kids to the exit. Right when they got outside .Cloe ran to her mom's car and got in.

“How was your day?” Cloe's mom asked.

“It was great I got a new friend,” Cloe said. “Thats great you know it was only a half day,” Her mom mentioned.

“Really? It seemed really long,” Cloe said back.
