When I was getting dressed for school this morning I found a little silverfish next to the wall. I picked it up and it crawled all over my arm. So I got my empty Halloween pumpkin, that I used to hold the candy in, and put the silverfish in there. Then I got a piece of paper and ripped a little part of it off. I crumpled it up and put it in the Halloween pumpkin. I looked in, and the silverfish ran around. Whenever it tried to get out, it would crawl up the edges of the pumpkin and slide back down because the edges were slippery and curved. Then I got a paper towel and ripped part of it off. I got it wet under the bathroom sink and put that in next to the crumpled paper. I finished getting dressed. After that I brushed my teeth and my hair and put it in a ponytail, put on my socks and shoes, and made my Alpha lunch. I put my lunch in a bag and put it in my backpack. Then I headed out the door.
A silverfish is a tiny bug that is long and has a body like a cockroach, but a silverfish is smaller. It has six legs and two long antennae. They are quite small and they are completely harmless, and whenever you touch them they leave a little silver spot on your finger. Silverfish eat paper, and they are fast, so they aren't that easy to catch. So whenever you see one, just leave it be and it will go away or stay there. There is no reason at all why you should be scared of silverfish. Charlette M.

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?

Umm. I can't really agree with this. Have you EVER seen a silverfish bite? Oh, and also, if you want to have this 'silverfish as a pet, I would recommend feeding dry glue and flour. Silverfish love it. Coincidentally, I was actually researching these, I would also recommend letting it go soon. If Silverfish are in a contained space too long, they die.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that scares me about silverfish is that they eat books! I would cry if I came home and my library had disappeared ;)
