Unfortunately, I took a massive bite out of the moldy sandwich before realizing my mistake. I nearly vomited at the sight of the disgusting bacteria I had just consumed. I sprinted to the bathroom feeling like I was going to die. After that, I made my way to the water fountain to wash my mouth out, but I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth. I finished lunch and made my way to Spanish class where I had a big test, but I still felt horrible. As a result, I couldn't concentrate well, therefore I failed my exam with a whopping 45%.]]> 2017-03-06 14:19:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mrepsch/gffj0r15rkse/wish/158024061 Classification- Madison Allen mallen44 https://padlet.com/mrepsch/gffj0r15rkse/wish/158024152      The Hersheypark rides fit into 3 main categories which are kiddie rides, roller coasters and family rides.

It automatically gave me a stomach ache. I waited until the middle of fifth period to ask my teacher if I could use the bathroom. I was in the bathroom until almost the end of sixth period. I went to the nurse and I was about to pack up and leave. I went into my locker to get my stuff, and then I realized that the fresh sandwich was still in my bag. I was so disgusted I ran to the bathroom and puked. I knew that the sandwich tasted weird, it was a week old. I packed my bag and left school that day with the worst stomach ache I had ever had.]]> 2017-03-06 14:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mrepsch/gffj0r15rkse/wish/158026862 Grace Macphee- cause and effect https://padlet.com/mrepsch/gffj0r15rkse/wish/158027007 I can't believe it I thought how would I tell my best friend . But the news was out we were moving , and there was nothing I Could do to change that . The fact was we were moving due to my dad's new job and that was rock solid . The worst part was leaving my puppy . My parents said he would have to live with my neighbors, and I couldn't even visit him  because we were moving into a pet free apartment complex and any trace of even pet fur could get us thrown out . Not to mention that I would have to change schools , and leave all of my friends behind , and we were moving in 2 weeks . 2 weeks I repeated in my head all I have until we were going . Bye friends , bye puppy , bye school , bye home sweet home . ]]> 2017-03-06 14:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mrepsch/gffj0r15rkse/wish/158027007 Yamael Wiggins Causes and Effect https://padlet.com/mrepsch/gffj0r15rkse/wish/158027113 I was on my way down stairs to my locker to put my things away before lunch.
On my way down the stairs I tripped on my shoelace, and went flying down the stairs. I landed on my arm in pain, soon a crowd of people came rushing over,Then an ambulance came. I got a broken arm because of the fall.

Even though girls may be smarter boys are obviously better. The expectation of girls is normally set higher than that of the boys this causes the boys to have an advantage on the level of awesomeness. The girls have more common sense and a lot more knowledge over all. And the same goes for boys, just not always. Girls make friend with teachers and boys try to stay away from school most of the time this causes the girls to have better grades. I think boys are better because their awesome level is higher that the girls this causes them to have a better time while at school. Without a doubt boys are better due to their awesomeness.

Humor is different from other terms. Humor is different from joking, although they are probably both funny, some people can easily take jokes the wrong way. But all in all, humor is comical and a state of mind which makes it different from others terms. Something that is comical is a joke. Why did the girl smear peanut butter on the road? To go with the traffic jam. Humor can easily lift someone's mood and you can find it about everywhere.]]> 2017-03-06 14:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mrepsch/gffj0r15rkse/wish/158028253 Jesse Mullins Definition jmullins11 https://padlet.com/mrepsch/gffj0r15rkse/wish/158029009 Humor is being amusing or comical mostly in the figure of speech. Humor functions by making a statement entertaining to try and make a person smile or laugh. The opposite of humor is assertive. Assertive means serious and is not meant to be funny.For example, here is a funny joke: What do you call a parade of rabbits hopping backwards? A receding hare-line! Comedians use a lot of humor to entertain a crowd and make them laugh. They wouldn't be a very good comedian if they did not amuse the crowd. Humor may lift self-esteem and make a person cheerful. Humor can have a great effect on your day by changing a bad day, into a good day. ]]> 2017-03-06 14:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mrepsch/gffj0r15rkse/wish/158029009 Victor Xu Compare and Contrast https://padlet.com/mrepsch/gffj0r15rkse/wish/158029485 Video Games and Movies
    Video games and movies both provide time wasting entertainment, but I see less sunlight when playing video games. Movies may be great for a family outing, or going out on a date. However, video games can do the same. Also, people say movies can teach lessons to children, but video games can help shape someone as a person. For example in some games the player may have to buy items, making them needing to save their currency. This may affect their ability to make better money decisions in real life.Another example is working together on other online games that need the player to socialize and work things out quickly. The teamwork needed in that game may help the gamer work with other people in real life jobs, which is vital for humans’ survival. Even thought these two topics are very different they do have things in common, both do kill lots of time, help people make connections and bond with each other, and entertain the viewer. In conclusion, though movies do give us characters that make people fangirl about them, I believe video games are superior in many ways.

During the school year we have to wake up early in the morning. We have to get ready to go to school on time, so we won't be late. We have to eat breakfast quickly and at the same time try not to choke. The mornings are always brief on school days. On the other hand, during the summer we wake up at a different or extremely different time. We take our time to eat breakfast and either go outside or stay inside watching TV all day long. We can do whatever we want during the summer. In conclusion, summer is and better than the school year.]]> 2017-03-06 14:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mrepsch/gffj0r15rkse/wish/158030209 https://padlet.com/mrepsch/gffj0r15rkse/wish/158030689 Ella Brown definition

Creativity is using your imagination to create a good idea. Creativity can be used to solve problems or make art. Without creativity, everything would be boring, nothing would be interesting, and problems wouldn't be solved. Creativity isn't using other people's ideas but creating your own interesting ideas. Artists, musicians, and writers are some people who need to use lots of creativity. And creativity can be found in art, music, and writing. Once in art class we were assigned to make something out of clay. Everyone made boxes but I made a clay dog. This shows creativity because my art was different. Because of creativity, the word is unique and different.]]> 2017-03-06 14:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mrepsch/gffj0r15rkse/wish/158030689 Sophie DeFlitch- Classification https://padlet.com/mrepsch/gffj0r15rkse/wish/158030764      People who are quite often hungry between meals most likely are familiar with the common snack groups: the sweet, the healthy, and the pre packaged mixes. The sweet snack can include but is not limited to, cookies, candy, and leftover cake. This category is unlikely recommended by nutrition specialists. The second category is the one for those that are dieting. This healthy snack category includes mystery green smoothies (most likely with kale), fruit salads, regular green salads, and the famous protein packed spoon of peanut butter. The final category is for the individuals who do not put much effort into their snack. The prepackaged mix category is home to nut mixes, chocolate covered everything mixes, dried fruit based mixes, Chex Mix, and store brand pretzel mix. In summary, there are three main snack categories: the sweet, the healthy, and the prepackaged. Which will you chose for your next snack?

Cats and hamsters are both very independent animals, and don't require a lot of attention. But usually the hamsters get less attention because they get boring and less active over time, while cats are usually are awake when you're home so you see them more. Even though there are limited problems with cats, they need daily attention and somewhat need to be “litter trained” while hamsters only need every other day attention and some cage cleaning. But the number one reason cats are better than hamsters is their high intelligence level. The reason you can train cats is because over time they learn expectations like being litter trained, while hamsters don't understand things as much as cats do so they can't learn complex talents fast. This is why cats are the better choice over these two pets.]]> 2017-03-06 14:34:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mrepsch/gffj0r15rkse/wish/158030834 Maddy Williams-Definition https://padlet.com/mrepsch/gffj0r15rkse/wish/158030906 Creativity is being original and using your imagination to form an idea. Most people probably use creativity every day. It is used for things from solving problems, to creating a piece of art. Inside someone's imagination, they may get ideas no one else could think of. Creativity means using your own ideas, not getting ideas or an answer from someone else. Let's say a teacher gives their students a project. Each student’s will be unique and different because they all have different ideas and creativity. Without creativity, it would totally change the world around us.]]> 2017-03-06 14:34:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mrepsch/gffj0r15rkse/wish/158030906
