Reading your comments last week made me very concerned. Many of you said you wouldn't choose any of the jobs as a member of the president's Cabinet because they were "too hard" or "too much work.". Kids, the best things in life come from hard work. Truthfully, the things that have brought me the most happiness in my own life have required lots of hard work---teaching, raising children, maintaining a comfortable, nice home, getting good grades in school, and getting my Master's degree. Therefore, tonight's homework will require you to do some reading about hard work. Please read the stories at the links below and reflect on why the characters in the them were successful. Then resond to thispost. What would have happened to them if they hadn't worked hard? What things you've worked hard for in life? What goals Do you have that will require hard work? Let's share our dreams and encourage one another to work hard so we can all be successful and happy in life. Remember..."Success is not coming to you; you must come to it!"
Sincerely,
Your Concerned Teacher
Answer these questions in your comment.
1)What would have happened to the characters if they didn't work hard?
2) What have you worked hard for?
3)What goals do you have that will require hard work?
I am looking for detailed, thoughtful answers and I will be asking parents to read these comments. :o)
1. well their will be no short stories to make
ReplyDelete2. i woudl have worked hard for is i would work hard to make some sort stories for little kids
3. the goals is to make is to try to work a little harder or work faster
1. If the characters wouldn't work hard they would be assigned the worst job.
ReplyDelete2. I worked hard on bieng nice more to my relitives for a present or anything else.
3. I will set a goal on school for me. In that goal I think I should work harder in math and by doing that I would work on math facts every DAY for 15 minuites.
I disagree with Logan and Marlee because that has nothing to do with the story. Sorry, not trying to be mean.
Delete1. If William didn't work hard, he might of not been heard by an awesome directer. Also, William shouldn't of quit because other people called him names. He should of just moved on to try his best somewhere else.
2. I've worked hard for many things! I've worked hard in gymnastics my pageant, and more. If I hadn't worked hard to get 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, I would of gotten a bad score or in last place. Yikes!
3. I've been working harder in math. Ever since I've had an amazing math tutor, I've been doing much better. This is how I am working harder. Claire
2. I have worked hard on many things such as B.O.B. competitions and spelling bees. I have also worked very hard on cross-country meets!
ReplyDelete3. My new goal is to pass my simplifying fractions facts quiz. I will do this by practicing every day for at least 10 minutes!
P.S. I can't get the stories to pull up. It keeps trying to get me to buy the stories. Does anybody know what to do? Thanks!

Deletego to 0 commets

Okay, so my answer to #1 is that if the ants didn't work hard, they would have died and the grasshopper would have died also. If William didn't work hard, then he would have quit and wouldn't have had the great career that he has.
Delete1. mr. william would never been able to sing in the oprea. and the ants would have been starving like the hungry grasshopper.

DeleteI work hard in basketball so I can go to the NBA and all the sports I do, I try to work hard in school, and being good at home and if people did not work hard then they would have a bad job like Logan said I will accomplish this by practising for it.
ReplyDelete1. William did not sing the director would not give him the role, and the ants worked hard for food if they did not they wold have no food.
ReplyDelete2. I work hard for casting calls, watching my sisters, a clean room, and to be a good sister!
3. Being an A student! That requires hard work. You have to study, study and study evan more!!!!!!!! You have to understand the subject. So being an A student requires HARD work!
1) William would never been able to sing in the Oprea. However, the ants would have been starving like the hungry grasshopper. Also, if he did not sing the director would not give him a role.
ReplyDelete2)I have worked hard on tests. However, I most importanly work hard on sports. My number one idea that I work hard in is helping out my parents a little.
3) My new goal is to study even more for tests that are coming up. However, I would also like to improve even harder in math.
1- If the characters did not work hard then nothing would go the way it did. If the man would have not been doing all the work to sing opera en he may not have gotten to have the chance to be a star. If the ant would have not worked hard she might not have gotten food, then she would have died.
ReplyDelete2- I work hard to get good grades in school. I also work hard at cross country. I do this by giving 110% and doing my best in practice and races! I also do well in achieving goals by listening.
3- I have a lot of goals for the future. One of my goals is to get good grades for the rest of my life. I will do this by always listening during class and giving all my effort in everything I do. I also hope to do well in cross country, I know I am going to have to work hard to achieve these goals!
1)If the characters didn't work hard they wouldn't succeed in their dreams and their goals.

1. If Mr. Williams wouldn't have worked hard he would have not been successful and such an amazing singer and opera-ist as he was with working hard and practicing. Plus if the ant wouldn't have worked hard and collected the food all summer and not wasted their time they would not have all the food for the winter.
ReplyDelete2. I work hard in lots of things, but I work the most hard in school and with my grades. I work hard on gymnastics and learning my back-hand-spring. One of my goals is to work harder on my math facts and start practicing them. I also want to make the goal to work really hard on ny science game and try to get an A+. these are all my goals and the things I work hard on.
1. I think that if they didnt work hard they could get a bad job or even no job at all
ReplyDelete2.What I work hard 4 is trying to be the best I i can be as a nice friend and a Basketball player
3.Last, my goals are to always get better at basketball everyday
1) If Willam didn't work hard he would have never made it in the big show. Also if the grasshopper didn't work hard he would have never gotten better at his music.
ReplyDelete2) I have worked hard for many things but two of them are that i try to get good grades in school and i have worked hard on inproving my serve in tennis.
3) My goals that i have that require hard work are getting a A+ on my science board game. My other goal is to get into a amazing school and get a teaching degree at that amazing school.
1. In the story, the opera singer,if the man had not practiced his singing, he wouldn't have gotten into that show. And if the ants had not gathered food during summer, they would have starved like the grasshopper.
ReplyDelete2. I have worked hard on B.O.B. by reading 10 books. Even though it took a lot of time and was really hard, it was worth it.
3. I want to be really good at math and science. I will do this by paying close attention and working really hard at my homework.
If William didn't work hard he wouldn't be in the opera. If the grasshopper didn't practice his music he wouldn't be as good.
ReplyDeleteI have worked hard at playing drums and guitar.
1. if the characters hadn't worked hard they would have never been able to accomplish their goals. Also if the ants hadn't stored food for the winter they would have died of starvation!
ReplyDelete2. i have worked really hard in school, paying attention to Mrs.Whitley, asking questions if i didn't understand, and giving 110 percent.
3. i want to work hard on soccer and helping people that don't really have a lot of friends. i also want to work on running faster for longer.
1. I belive that in the story, _______________________, William would not have gotten enough time to sing, then he would not have gotten into the show. Even though, he didnt really have to sing every time to talk to someone, I mean he could have pracitced in his house! :)! In the second story, ______________, the ants saved up food, AALLLL summer, and if they didnt do that then they would starve like the hungry/starving grass hopper was. Even though they could have gaven the grass hopper food! In my opinoin!!
ReplyDelete2. I've worked hard in my sport (Cross country) and I got to get alot of medals. If I didnt work hard, I would only have like 2 medals instead of like 20!!!!
3. My goals later in life are...
~Be in the iron man
~Be famous
~Have 4 dogs as a grown up, Golden retriever, whippet, and a german shepherd! They are all giant dogs so i'll need to be strong to walk them and take care of them!
~Go to colledge and look for a job of singing and dancing, and maybe designing clothing!
~Meet lady gaga. It will be very hard because my mom and I will have to spend a lot of money for a back stage pass.
~Continue as a kid being a dog sitter and dog walker for my neighbors. I love to walk my neighbors and people in my hoods dogs!
I think that's all! Probably way more though!!!!
~Peace~
In that last one that says Anonymous it was me, Sophie!
DeleteIn the first storie the opra singer would have been made fun of for the rest of his life. Since he kept singing and working hard everywhere he was eventually discovered.He also recovered the respect of the citizens.
ReplyDeleteIn the second storie unlike the grasshoper,the ants worked hard for their food while the grasshoper just sat back and played the violin and wasted all the time that he could have used to gather food.If the ants did not gather food for the winter they would have been just like the grasshoper which probably died.
I have worked hard at many of my life goals and at many I have succeeded but at some I am still working at them. I have worked hard for Football,Lacrosse,and my grades in class.
One of the many goals that I have is to make the all-star team because we have to have tryouts it will also help me get on other teams during my life because I will already have a good record.
Another goal that I have is that I will strive to get good grades every year which will help my football carreer.
The main goal that I have in my life is that I want to become a wealthy, and intelegent man when I grow older.
I love your responses and I'm so glad to see all these wonderful goals! You all have so much potential and I'm very proud of your thoughts and effort on this. :)
