Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is coming soon in February.  It is on February 14.  I love Valentine’s Day!  It is usually about love and gifts.

On Valentine’s Day it is customary to hand out cards to friends and classmates and/or family.  I hand out cards to everybody in my class even if I do not like them.  I give to everybody because it is being respectful.  I hope to hand out puppy cards this year but I have not bought them yet.  

Valentine’s Day is very amazing because you get chocolate, cards and other things like that.  I hope this year I get lots of chocolate.  Sometimes people bring pencils and sometimes gift bags. I hope maybe this year I get to bring cupcakes or some cake or candy.  It’s nice when people give little toys like yo-yos.

I hope the Student Council does candy grams again.  These are small packages of assorted candies that you can send to friends or even someone you like.  You can do it anonymously and keep it a secret.  

What are your thoughts on Valentine’s Day?  If Student Council is selling candy grams this year, are you doing to give one away?  Should Room 14 have a party to celebrate?

Running Club

Our school has started a new club run by a Grade ⅚ teacher.  It is called the Running Club.  This is a club created mostly for exercise.  There is also the chance to compete with other schools in a race.  It is a relay race where there are eight runners who each have to run 200m around the track to see which team is the fastest.

I joined and I’m currently in it.  I joined Running Club because I love running and I want to go to the Butterdome with my friend.  I joined last year to see what it was like and I loved it so I joined this year.

The practices are on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.  We have to get here at 7:55 a.m., then we start with warm-ups at 8:00 a.m.  In Running Club when we get here we go to the gym and play British Bulldog, then we do ABCs. A is high knees, B is kicking your butt, C is sticking your leg out then straightening it. When we are all done those we go in the hallway where we walk, then jog, then run as fast as we can, and then we race.  Two people line up at the end doors and then we run to the other side and back. After we race, we change our clothes and go back to class.

Do you enjoy running?  Did you join Running Club, why or why not?  What are your thoughts about exercise?

2018 Goals

The start of a new year causes many people to make a New Year's resolution.  What is a resolution you ask?  A resolution is a decision to do or not do something.  Usually, it is a long-term goal which can take a lot of time.  For example, some people say they will lose a certain amount of weight or some may vow to quit smoking.  Unfortunately, many people make resolutions and then fail at them because they were too difficult to begin with or they didn't have the discipline to follow through.

I used to make New Year's resolutions but would never follow through with them either so I have stopped making them.  Instead, I am going to try to live each day as best as I can by eating healthy, exercising and being kind.  I will not get upset with myself if I did not accomplish those goals that day because I can start again afresh each day.

What do you think about New Year's resolutions?  Have you made any thus far?  What are some goals that you want to achieve in 2018?
