Here's what they did today on the subject:
Happy (students 2, 10, 21, 23)
Standing at the top of the mountain,
feeling the thrills rush through me, I am looking down at all the
tiny skiers below. As I pick up speed I smile as I go off the jump
laughing freely and cry out “Yeah!” in mid air. While I speed
down the mountain I feel like I am leaving all my stress and worries
behind. No matter how tired I am, this moment couldn't be more
amazing.
Sad (students 1, 7, 14, 17)
We are in the
outskirt of Germany in 1941. I was standing in the middle of the
battlefield, as I reach into my pocket and pulled out a picture of my
wife. My heart fell a thousand feet as I thought of her. Tear drops
flowed down my cheeks and dropped off my chin like a raindrop slowly
trickling down a flower petal.
Fearful / Scared (students 5, 19, 22, 25)
I started backing
up. My heart was pounding. Sweat was pouring down my face. I gathered
my courage, put my hand on the doorknob and went in.
Mad (students 4, 9, 20, 24)
Jeremy stomps up
to his room. With no hesitation, he kicks his door wide open. Feeling
a rush of adrenaline, he leaps onto his bed, and starts
punching his pillow, like a boxer punching his punching bag. He
growls at it. His heart starts speeding up, faster, and faster. He's
out of breath.
Lonely (students 6, 12, 26, 28)
I felt like I was
the only person stranded on Earth. Everyone had died. I had no help
whatsoever. So many questions were on my mind, but nobody could
answer them.
Excited (students 8, 11, 15, 27)
My heart raced, I
could not wait. I jumped up and down like a startled rabbit. My eyes
gleamed with tears of relief. I would see my family soon, I was going
home.
The man couldn't
wait to go home...
Shy (students 3, 13, 18)
I wish I were a
ghost. In a room full of vacant stares, a wave of humility washes
over me.
On a different note, there is a Remembrance Day assembly tomorrow after recess. Division 3 students' work will be displayed on the walls near the entrance of the gym. You should come, it will be worth it!
See you tomorrow (I hope)!
