 * She was chosen to be mary in the christmas pagent because she was tall for her and she can walk from the back of the room to the manger without help.**

 * Miss Ballard compare peg to a one year old baby.**
 * It took peg 2 weeks to use walking sticks**
 * peg recamend alice to sing in the play**
 * Peg**


 * Peg has a reasons to be mad at the nurse because the nurse wouldn't turn her when she was in the oxygen tent, the nurse burned all her cards and bears. When she was in the isolation room her parents couldn't see her. If iI were peg I would of been mad at the nurse to for doing all that stuff to me. I would have been crying. But the nurse did the right thing because if she couldn't burn peg's bear then all the other kids or adults would have to keep there's to. She couldn't turn her because all the kids and adults wanted to be turned and the nurse had about 100 more people to turn so she turns them every 30 minutes. But it's just how they do it when you have polio.**

**Peg does do the right thing by telling her parents about this incident because she just can’t just sit there and not tell them about it. That is stupid kids and adults tell their parents what happening and what’s going on in their life or in school. If I were peg I would tell my parents to so they can settled it out with the nurse or she can just get a new and nice nurse. But peg did the right thing for telling her parents what happened when she burned her bears, candy, and cards but they have to do that because it can spread the virus to someone else so that’s why they had to do that. I wonder why they can’t sterilize the cards so she can keep them like they sterilize the beds when they are done out of isolation. **

Put yourself in Peg's place, how would you react?

If I were peg and I was in her body I would ask how I got in a different hospital and where are my parents. I would be really sad if I could not see my parents again until I get out the hospital. I would probly sleep all day and all night that’s the only thing I can do because I can’t move my arms, legs just my head and I can talk and drink and eat.

Maniac Magee Buffalo Project!!:)=
 * The American Buffalo has long fur. Their coats are very dark. Buffalos can grow up to 6 feet 6 inches, and can get to a weight of 2,200 pounds. The largest a Buffalo has ever gotten is 2,500 pounds! Both genders have horns that are curved and short. Their horns can grow up to 2 feet long. Their daily schedule involves two hours of grazing, resting and chewing cud, then moving to a new location to graze yet again.

A person wont survive if they lived with a buffalos because buffalos are to wild and if the person got in a fight with the buffalo the person will not win at all because of their horns and a lot of wait on them. The person will not eat anything because the buffalo will run away. The only thing they probaly are going to it is grass with the buffalos which no human dosen’t want to eat grass. You will smell and wont be able to take a shower and wont be able to talk to nobody because they will get away from you because you stink. This is why I a person wuld not survive in a buffalo pin. I didn't Draw my buffalo.
