Ms. Scarborough's Class
My set of rules would be: focus and pay attention to what people are saying, when something is boring put music on to lighten the move, and if you do something like break a vase and your parents don't know tell them it is better to tell them then let them find out. If you don't pay attention it might be important and then you get hurt because you did not hear them say stop. If you put on music it will make you feel the kind of happy at a party. If you tell your parents before they find out they might let you off easy like my parents.
ReplyDeleteRule#: 1- Don't stay at home watching TV the whole day or when you come home from school... Go outside, go to the park and have some FUN! This rule is important to me because TV ruins your brain and it doesn't help you. But if you go to the park you're exposed to the sun, and the sun gives you vitamin D. When you go to the park you're also exposed to light and fresh air.
ReplyDeleteRule#: 2- I like to make things for example I like to reuse things and make cool new things out of them. I once made a homemade guitar out of an empty roll of paper towels, rubber bands, and a shoebox. I also made a guitar pick out of paper and aluminum foil. You should try making things with your hands too! This rule is important to me because your can learn from making things and you can achieve many things because of that talent. But if you're just on your bed sleeping and it's only the afternoon it doesn't do you any good.
Rule#: 3- Exercise! You always have to stay fit... RIGHT? Don't stay on your bed sleeping, run around, count how many jumping jacks you can do, and play games that involve running. This rule is important to me because I don't want to be over weight. I want to be perfect, not to skinny and not to fat.
Rule#: 4- Eat healthy. Eat the right foods, don't eat a lot of junk food. This rule is important to me because you can stay fit, you can do a lot of things if you stay fit.
Rule#: 5- Make a play. Or act out a movie you really like. Act out a book you really like. Make a play for a movie or a book. This rule is important to me because it keeps you busy and you can think deeper into a book or a movie because you can understand why the author put the character he or she put in the movie or a book.
Rule#: 6- MUSIC! Play music, if you don't know how to play a musical instrument than learn how to play one. Or make up your own musical instrument and make it yourself! This rule is important to me because I love to listen to music and I love to play music. I can play multiple instruments.
Rule#: 7- Read a book! This rule is important to me because when you read you learn about many different things. When you read you get better at math, reading, writing, music, cooking, sewing, and many other things.
Rule#: 8- Write a book! This rule is important to me because you can show your imagination by writing a book.
Rule#: 9- Play with an animal or a pet you have. This rule is important to me because it keeps your pet happy! :)
Rule#: 10- Draw! This rule is important to me because when you keep drawing you're getting better and better at drawing. You can achieve many things with that talent.

RULES FOR A FUN LIFE.
ReplyDeleteRule # 1,Be who you are.you should do this because when you are not acting like yourself you won't be with your real friends and you won't be doing things you like.
Rule # 2,Be active.You should do this because when you are running around or playing sports you don't think about things other the game.you don't think about your troubles and you have lots of FUN.
Rule # 3,Don't be mean.If you are mean no one will like you and you would have no friends.
Rule # 4, Do not lie.If you lie no one would trust you.Like the story The Boy Who Called Wolf,he kept saying there was a wolf when there wan't and when there was no believed him.You will not have much fun.
Rule # 5.Be generous.IF you are generous other people would be generous and you will be happy and when you are happy you have more fun.
I really agree with those rules!
Delete1:Exercise a lot, like biking, swimming, running, and more. This is important to me because it keeps us healthy, and I enjoy it. 2: Get outside a lot. Go for walks, go to the park, get some fresh air! This is important to me because I like getting fresh air and I was raised to like the great outdoors. 3:Reading is very important. You gain more empathy,more imagination, and more. I personally love reading, was raised to, and feel reading is good for you. My family also really values education. I also believe in a lot more for fun in your life. Good night!
ReplyDeleteRule# 1: I read while I come home. Rule# 2: When I get home I eat a snack. Rule# 3: I play with toys with my brother. Rule# 4: I do my homework.
ReplyDeleteRule# 5: Play some more with my brother. Rule# 6: Watch some TV.
Rule #7: I stay with dad, play with him and watch tv with him.
Rules 1# being able to go to the park this is a important Rule for me because it's good for you to not always stay inside and play video games and to go outside and play a game. 2# Reading is a important rule for me because when you're reading you get a lot of knowledge out of it or you just really like the book. 3# writing this is a important rule for me because there are some things that you are thinking but just can't say but that doesn't mean you can't write them down and there are some things you're sad about and don't want to say so you can write them instead. 4# doing puzzles this is a fun rule for me because for me when I finish a puzzle Im really proud of my self and that makes me feel very happy. 5# doing what you like this is a fun Rule for me because if you always do what you like you'll never be sad and always will be happy.
ReplyDeleteRULES FOR A FUNNER LIFE
ReplyDeleteRule# 1 Instead of coming home and watching TV and eating a bag of chips you I can read a book for 40 minutes and then play.
Rule# 2 I can have more energy by riding a bike on the weekends with my mom or dad.
Rule# 3 I can go swimming and skate boarding with met sisters.
Rule# 4 Play with my god sister in the park.
Rule #5 Draw all everyday but do some math every 4 hours.
Rule# 6 Have family game night with my dad, mom and sisters on some Fridays.
Rule# 7 Go visit my grandma in Jersey every 2nd weekend so I can usher in her church and sing in the kids choir.
My first rule is that you should be nice to people and that they will do nice things to you. Surely your parents have given you something that you really want for your birthday or Christmas, right? That's because your nice to you and they love you for that. And you want everybody to like you and not think of you as a bad person. My second rule is don't be naughty. If you are,stop now. You could pull people in and make them naughty! Just imagine this: a world of naughty people. People would be stealing stuff, breaking rules, and, worst of all, ending others people's lives. My third rule is that you should have a time limit of electronics. Sure, there fun and all, but a real waste of time. You should be doing productive things, like going to the park! That's why there are time limits. Or, you can go on them if it's educational, or it's the 4-317 blog. But some people say you could do them in the morning or night because there is nothing productive to do. But you could read a book, or if it is night, you can hang out with family.
ReplyDeleteRule #1: Treat people the way you would want to be treated. This rule is very important because would you want to be treated disrespectfully? No? That's what I thought. I know I want to be treated right. You need friends not enemies in your life. Be nice.
ReplyDeleteRule #2: Do something for someone. You don't have to do it every day. But you can if you want. Today a woman fell down the stairs in my apartment building and my mom held the door for her and asked her, "Are you okay?" And helped her. This rule is important to me because we always need to do something for someone even if we don't like or agree with them.
Rule #3: LISTEN. This rule is important to me because if we never LISTEN we will never KNOW. I know not everyone wants to LISTEN but you can at least try. We need to LISTEN to our parents/guardians and teachers or people at our school. We need to LISTEN to pretty much anyone.
Rule #4: Never grow up. (Have fun.) This rule is VERY important because we are kids and even when we are grown up's we still need to know, " No matter how old you are you can still (act like) be a kid." It doesn't matter if your neighbor thinks you're crazy. :0
OK rule #1 do what you love the most and be your authentic self.
ReplyDeleteRULE #2 listen,listening is very important because you can learn a lot more by listening than talking
RULE #3 have fun every day, because if you don't have fun what is the purpose of doing your job or playing a game.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST RULE #4 My last and final rule is never lie. I have this rule because if you lie you have to stop
and think is lying a good character trait to have as a human being?What will people think of me?
I really like the be your authentic self.
DeleteRule 1: Look out for each other. Stay alert. Like if somebody falls down or if someone's choking, tell an adult because their life could be in danger and you could have a chance to save them.
ReplyDeleteRule 2: Share. For example, you've already read a curtain book that's yours and someone else wants to read it, you should lend the book to them because sharing is what makes friends.
Rule 3: Boredom overloads are very common when a child is having no fun. Check if any friends would like to have a playdate/sleepover. If that doesn't work, art is always on the corner of fun street.
Rule 4: Physical activity can cure boredom as in playing with a ball, playing in the park, and even doing work out shows with your mom (WELL, NOT THAT I DO THAT).
Rule #1you have to be creative and not sit in front of the tv all the time because you don't get smarter when you sit in front of the tv all the time and you don't have so much fun because there are not so good shows on tv you get very board because you never had any idea that comes from you
ReplyDeleteRule #2 get to know your neighbors and don't be the neighborhood grouch because two brains are better than one also everything is way more fun when you play together.
Tips: just run around and pay no mind to anything except
Parents and just go crazy
CLAIRE ELLIS'S RULES MORE MAKING YOU MORE AUTHENTIC !!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete1# HAVE FUN!!!!! The reason for this is because if you don't have fun you won't learn how to enjoy stuff the way they are meant to be and if their not fun enough then find a way to make it authenticly fun.
2# BE YOURSELF ! I like this rule because if your not yourself you will never learn how to accept your authentic self for the weird,funny , educational talents you were born with and that god gave them a purpose that you have them for. 3# BE GREATFUL! Some people have it worse off then you so be thankful of what you have and if you know people worse then you then help them and be consitarate of the surroundings and how you can change them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My rules for a funnier life is #1, instead of wasting your energy on your phone or ipad or TV you should go outside and get some fresh air. #2, see how many push-ups you can do in 1:00. #3, maybe you can play with some board game with your siblings or if you don't have any siblings just play with your parents. #4, if you want to you can practice your math. #5, HAVE A DANCE PARTY WITH YOUR FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteRule I : Listen.
ReplyDeleteWhen we pay attention to what happen around us, we hear things. When we listen carefully, we can grasp facts, and figure out what to do. If we don’t listen, we might miss the tips and clues that might help us to live and do things better.
Rule II : Ask.
When we are in doubt, we should ask. Guessing and misunderstanding is not fun at all. I don’t like to get lost and I don’t like to be confused about what’s going on. Asking is the simplest and most direct way to get help.
Rule III: Enjoy the moment
Sometimes we cannot choose what we are doing at that particular moment. Sometimes we wish we can be doing something else. However, we cannot always have control of what we are given.
So. why not enjoy the moment and enjoy what you are doing.
It doesn’t matter if originally it is my choice to do this right now or not. But it is my decision that I AM going to enjoy this and make it as good as it can be. I believe, if I can enjoy what I am doing right now, I can do it better.
Rule IV: Read
It is important to read, because you become more empathetic and understanding. Also, it makes you ask questions about the world and become more thoughtful.
Along with enjoy it, of course.
Rule V: Exercise
Exercise is crucial to maintain our health and to stay in shape. If a person does not exercise, the body loses its ability to be fit and isn’t able to adapt the weather changes and living condition. A person can easily get sick, like catching a cold often, or feels lack of energy to do things.
RULE#1 In the summer you could gather your friends to have a treasure hunt. RULE#2 Instead of being inside all summer watching TV you can get all the kids in your neighborhood and have a water balloon fight.RULE#3 Last but not least you can go to the wood with your friends and have a paint ball war and capture the flag.
ReplyDeleteThings to do for a fun life 1 if you have time go to the school play ground and exercise. 2 do your homework somewhere that's clamming for you. Rule 3 DONT sit in front of the tv all day because it's not good for your eyes or Brian and you can fell tired or drowsy/sleepy. Running or walking around can help clam yourself and body to do some homework. So if you can just try harder everyday to get some exercise
ReplyDeleteSome rules for a funner life is to enjoy playing with your family. #2 Stay as healthy as possible. #3 Never loose you best friend. #4 Exercise a lot. Because if you don't exercise you can stay weak. #5 When you come home from school you should do your homework. Instead of watching TV with a bag of chips. Because if you just watch TV your not going to get smarter. #6 If you don't like to read, but you like to play and have fun, then you can make reading fun by reading on your sofa and eating a small snack. Or you can also read with your parents. #7 Treat people the way you would want to be treated. Because if you would treat someone like a bully you wouldn't want them to treat you like a bully, would you?
ReplyDeleteWhat authentic self means to me is to be yourself, not easily pushed to do things and don’t let other people pressure you.
ReplyDeleteI am able to be my authentic self when I ask myself why I am doing this and make a decision based on that. The challenges that I face when I try to be my authentic self is if a lot of people are pressuring me by making it seems like what I am doing is weird.
I think I can be a better person by trying to be more committed to my work.
