I think this makes a president good. They need to make gas prices low.

I think a good president is a leader that takes care of people. He should create jobs and help the poor have their needs like food and shelter. He should lower the price of gas. He should also maintain peace throughout the country. He should make children's education better and make college affordable.

A good president would be nice and wouldn't have other people's homes destroyed because of war.

I think the president should have homes for everyone.

I too agree with Abigail, that gas prices should be lower.

What makes a good president is to lower the taxes so everyone has more money to spend.

HEY CLASS- My Grandma and Grandpa(Didi and Poppa)from Australia came last night on an airplane. They are so lovely and speak with an Australian accent. Didi has blonde hair and Poppa has brown. (Just like me and Zach.)They think it is cold when I think it is hot! That is because it is very hot in Sydney and it's Summer right now.I keep saying it's warm but they still say it's cold.In Australia when it's midnight it's 6 am here!So when I get up they're still sleeping.They're staying with us for three weeks. I am having such a fun time!-by Madison Ueland

I think the president should stop the war and bring
the soldiers home safely. He should protect us
from the terrorist.
The president should help the poor people and find homes for the the homeless people like my friend Garland.

Good morning class,
Is everybody having a fun 4 and a half day vacation? I hope so, because I am. Yesterday we went went climbing at the REI pinnacle. Today, we are going to go on an underground tour of Seattle to learn more about when it had the Great Fire in 1889.(The year that Washington became a state!)I am also going to have my last soccer practice. On Friday we're going to go to the Harvest Festival. I hope everybody is having a great time!

-You bet I'm reading, Ms. Gessner! I'm really trying to finish my book(Emily Windsnap and the Castle in the Mist)today. In my car I read a lot! Only 70 pages left! Well, maybe that seems as though I have a way to go, but I only started it yesterday. I'm really enjoying it, too.The series is a really good one. In fact, it's one of the best series I've read.-by Madison
P.S. Has anyone been on Seattle's Undergroud Tour? I just did it today. It's fun and I learned a lot!

Good morning class,
I just finished making my bed and getting dressed so I decided to blog. Because it's near Halloween I want to ask what you're going to dress up as. Abigail's witch teacher costume sounds great and especially because she made it at home. I bet it will be unique! I am dressing up as a cowgirl and my brother Zach will be the sheriff. Can you also tell me if you're going to the Harvest Festival? By Madison Ueland

I think a good president should lower taxes because it is hard to pay taxes when you have no money. And a good president should stop the war because they are killing people. The president should lower gas prices because poeple work and it is to painful to get money. by Max
