Concerns
SPLOSH
Past the fishes
It used to hunt
Past the fishes
It ran from
Past a sunken ship
To the bottom of the ocean
It can't swim
Back up to the surface
It will drown because
Those horrible people took
Their fins
Stop Shark Finning
Because all the shark will
Die.
Their beautiful species
Will go extinct
Because you are
Going to keep
Eating
Shark Fin Soup
Stop eating the shark fin soup
Sharks like them are going to die!
sticky black stuff
sticking to my shoes
Little fishes covered in it
Birds lovely feathers
Covered in black tar
in black tar
Dont Dump your trash in the ocean!
Cough cough
Grey little clouds
floating around
Cough Cough
Smoke stacks growing bigger
Smoke coming out faster
The future getting fogger

Core Values
RFD (Riders for life)
RFD is a organisation formed by Bubacarr Jallow & his wife. He formed RFD because when he & his wife took a trip to some rural parts of Africa, he some a lot of broken & damaged vehicles lying every where on the ground. They where broken due to bad care of the vehicles.
Another reason Bubacarr made RFD is because he knew that people where dying in the rural parts of Africa A LOT more than in the USA or Singapore.
I think the Core Values in this story is respect and compassion.
I would say compassion because Bubacarr is doing this for these people when he could have just said "Oh this isn't my problem because it isn't my country", but instead he helped these people.
I say respect because he is respecting these people by helping them.

The Landry News
In the beginning of "The Landry News", we meet Cara Landry. She is re-organizing some pieces of paper but we don't know anything about the papers. We also learn that her parents are divorced. Cara's mom got custody of Cara. Cara gets the world's worst teacher, Mr.Larson. One Day, Cara puts up a paper on a cluttered bulletin board on the back wall of Mr. Larson's classroom. Everyone wants to see what it is, including Mr.Larson. It turns out to be the first copy of "The Landry News"! Cara has a lot of informational facts in this newspaper. But what REALLY angers Mr.Larson is that Cara wrote about him and about how much learning is happening in the classroom: Almost None. In anger, Mr. Larson rips up the newspaper and YELLS AND YELLS at Cara. After school ends and Cara is the last one on the bus, she sees Mr Larson and glares at him and he glares back at Cara. Thank Goodness, Mr Larson didn't go back to the classroom and see that all the pieces of the ripped up newspaper are gone from the waste bin. The pieces of paper that Cara was organizing at the beginning of the book were actually the ripped up pieces of the Landry News. After reading Cara's article, Mr Larson feels guilty that he hasn't been teaching the class. Mr Larson asks Cara what is her favorite part of a newspaper. Cara replies the whole thing but I love the editorials the most. Mr Larson teaches them about newspapers and editorials. Mr Larson asks Cara if there can be more workers for her newspaper. The whole class then works on the newspaper. They decide to get stories from other kids in the school. One day, Michael Mortan comes and hands Cara a story called Lost and Found. It turns out to be a story about divorce. Cara could connect to the boy in the story. She figures out that Michael wrote the story about himself. When she publishes the story in the paper, Dr Barnes thinks that it is inappropriate content for children and tries to fire Mr Larson for letting the kids put the story in the newspaper. Cara asks Michael if he can read the story out in front of the judge to prove that he wanted the story published in the newspaper. Mr Larson ends up not getting fired and everyone is happy for the rest of the year but Cara had to print out a new newspaper because the Landry News was banned from the school. The new newspaper is called The Guardian. They hand it out at bus stops because they are not allowed to hand it out at school. Dr Barnes banned all newspapers from the school. The Guardian is still being printed out but Dr Barnes doesn't want to see it on school property.

0.3 Is bigger because it is Tenths and not hunderths like 0.15.
Tenths is bigger than Hundredths because Tenths is a long stick and a Hundredths are little cubes.

I am thankful for my Mom. She is always there for me and my siblings and my dad. She doesn't work but she is always coming for our sports games. She always picks up my dad from work too. That is why I am thankful for my Mom!
