Jayde and Samuel were in Jayde's house looking up foxes on her nana's computer.
"Samuel, I hope our research project gets an A+," Jayde said as she pulled up the What Does the Fox Say? video.
"Really Jayde? That song had gotten stuck in my head because of my little brother," Samuel said, running out of the room. Jayde rolled her eyes and started singing:
"Dog goes woof, cat goes meow, bird goes tweet and the mouse goes squeak!"
"NOOOOO!!!!!" Samuel screamed. Jayde just burst out laughing and continued;
"Cow goes moo, frog goes croak, and the elephant goes toot! Ducks say quack, and fish go blub, and the seal goes ow ow ow. But there's one sound, that no one knows. WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY!!!"
"THE HORROR! THE HORROR!" Samuel screamed as he ran out the front door. This time, Jayde couldn't help herself. She laughed so hard that she had to go to the bathroom when Samuel came back into the room with a soup pot on his head and holding a frying pan for defence.
"Samuel, that was SO funny!" Jayde said as she turned off the computer and fell on her bed, still giggling.
"Thank you for that compliment," Samuel said as he picked up a book about foxes and began to read and take notes. Just then, Jayde gasped while looking out of her window.
"FOXES! And what better way to learn about foxes than to follow the foxes and learn their ways of life?" Jayde asked as she went outside.
"And I can teach them the Harlem Shake," Samuel said as they started to follow the foxes.

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may
be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
