Something is in the Air
Once you hear the sounds of fireworks in the air, you know that New Year's Eve or 4th of July is close by. People in Hawaii have the privilage to pop fireworks legally on New Year's Eve or 4th of July unlike the rest of the states. Unfortunately, Hawaii has been taking advantage of that privilage. Every year, it seems that the popping of fireworks are worse. Each year, more people are popping illegal fireworks and are causing many frights in Hawaii. This past New Year's, where I was celebrating New Year's, people where popping illegal fireworks non-stop. Also, each time it seems that as the bombs kept going off, the louder it got. Living on a small island, the sounds echo througout the island. This isn't good for people you get scared easily and may cause them to have a heart attack. I thing, popping fireworks on New Year's Eve or 4th of July should be limited to keep Hawaii in a safe place.

Parent Response/ Portfolio Reflection
My portfolio is all about "Santa's Things To Do." Each trait relates to what I think Santa does during the Christmas season. I feel that I picked the right examples to each trait well because of what I thought matched.
1. What I liked best about Samara's portfolio was how she gave good examples for each of her traits. I understood why she chose those examples for the traits. What I would like to see her improve on in her portfolio, other then a better layout, is to give more reason and better description on her examples. I feel that she could do a better job on make her portfolio and giving more description for her examples.
2. From my point of view, the trait that Samara attainments is "voice." I can hear what she is saying. She speaks out what she is thinking, but the promblem she has with writing out her voice is putting it together on paper. She is always repeating herself, but overall, her "voice" is her strongest trait.
3. The trait I would like for Samara to focus on mainly is her word choice. I believe that Samara needs to chose better words when writing her paper. She doesn't quit explain herself. Also, she has a tendency of writing like an 8th grader. I think if she is able to get better at these traits, she will become a better writer.
