should be a planet because “It‟s

been a planet for so long why

change it now”. Matthew asked his

teacher and she said she agrees

with Scott “its been a planet for so

long why change it”. Al-

though scientists say Pluto is a

dwarf planet I think it should be a

planet. What do you think? The

reason I think Pluto should be a

planet is it made of rock like the

inner planets. It does have an ellip-

tical orbit but it dose orbit the sun.

After school was over

Matthew went home and started

his home work. His class was

studying the solar system. He

pulls his text book out and saw

that Pluto was crossed out! It said

Pluto was a dwarf planet! He asked

his grandmother what she thought

about Pluto being a dwarf planet

and she said, “It‟s been a planet for

so long why change it now.‟. The

next day at school Matthew asked,

Scott and he said He thinks Pluto

This is Pluto

its about

14,000,000,000

away

Pluto Is A Dwarf Planet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It‟s a regular day

for Matthew, he‟s car-

rying books home from

school. His bag is very

heavy. He does his

homework and goes to

sleep. But the next day

the library got rid of all

their books and re-

placed them with E-

Readers.

He didn‟t know how to feel He

thought that E-Readers are

light and books are heavy.

Not every book is an e-book,

so he would not have as many

book choices. Matthew

talks to Scott and he says he

thinks, “The E-reader is a

good idea because the E-

reader can hold 1,500 books and

regular 1,500 normal books

weigh a lot. Matthew talked to

Maya and she said she likes

books „because they usually have

color.‟

I‟m a neutralist I think that

books are heavy but they usually

have color. E-readers have black

and white pictures but, they are

light to carry. So I like both!

Bobsleds are so skinny

they‟ve made to reduce drag. A

bobsled runner is so sharp it

could easily cut your cheek.

My dad‟s name is Jason he builds houses for people. My dad works with my

grandfather and grandmother. My dad has built every house we have lived

in. My dad makes sure the other builders do stuff right. I like that because

when something breaks he can fix it. Sometimes my dad buys houses then

sells them. I‟m so glad he‟s my dad because he‟s nice. Maybe I‟ll be a builder

some day.

Bobsledding was first allowed in

the Olympics in 1993. There are 2

the 2010 Olympics the US won 1

gold medal in 4 man bobsled

ding. They go so fast, at least 90

miles an hour. When your in a

Snowboarding was first
