    Mistakes are great
    Mistakes are great
    Mistakes will help you learn
    Don't be sad when you get it wrong because you can try again
    Oh!

    Sitting in 5/6
    With brain ready to grasp
    It's okay to make mistakes as long as you can learn

    Mistakes are great

  2. The biggest mistake I've ever made was at my house, I stopped doing my chores and slacked, So then I got in trouble, and my iPod got taken away, so then I started doing them and I got my iPod back when I started doing my chores like vacuuming,dishes,mop, and help take all the weeds from the ground so we could plant are seeds.

  11. The biggest mistake of my life was not trying out for panthers and every one said that I would of made it if I tried out and now I wish that I would of tried out because It would of been more fun and a challenge because it would be harder to score and win.

    1. It's okay Ethan. If you really don't want to tryout for panthers than that is your choice. Do what you want. I think that you should have tried out, because you it would be a challenge for you, if you did make it. It isn't house league. Double A is full of great players.

  12. The best mistake that I have made is when I Put way too much salt in peanut butter cookies. One day I was making peanut butter cookies for desert and snacks for whenever I wanted them. I had everything ready and I put in the oven. I waited and waited. I thought that The would be amazing, but when I pulled them out of the oven and tasted one, I almost puked. Instead of putting a teaspoon of salt I put a table spoon in.

    Replies
    1. This is good, That sucks that you put a tablespoon of salt instead of a teaspoon. Next time check it over a second or third time to make sure you have all capitals and it makes sense, But other than that this is pretty good!

  15. Mistakes are good for you because they help you learn. One time my cousin came over and I let him play my gameboy. While he was doing that I bugged him to make lose. I got too close and he hit me in the mouth with it. I got so mad that I ignored his apology and I punched him in the eye. And then we both started crying. That's my biggest mistake.

    1. Macie,

      I like your remix of twinkle twinkle little star.
      But none of your I's have capitals and when you wrote how you put a capital and how was after a comma so it shouldn't have a capital. Also your whole song is a run on sentence.

  21. To the tune of: Let it go

    The pencil glows words on the paper today not a teacher to be seen.

    A paper of mistakes and it looks like im the loser.

    My pencil is screaming like this storming math inside,

    I couldn't keep it in, Teachers know I've tried.

    Don't let tests in, Really Try to pass

    Be the math star you always have to be.

    Conceal, keep up,

    Dont give up

    well you just did.

    Pencil up, Pencil up

    Can't hold it back anymore.

    Pencil up, Pencil up

    get up and slam the book

    I dont care, what my teachers going to say

    Let the test rage on.

    the eqao never bothered me anyways.

    Its funny how some failures,Make everything seem weird.

    and the kid that once controlled me, Cant make me fail no more.

  23. Failure is an opportunity to grow,
    So if you take this chance
    And throw it away,
    You will blow your chance to show
    You have potential.


    Life will never be on your side
    So keep pushing forward in stride
    To show you can survive.

    Mistakes are on our side
    They teach you vital information
    So if you're stuck on a question
    Don't let failure take pride
    And try your best.

    Even if you get the answer wrong
    You learn what went wrong
    And you get more knowledge than if you knew the answer
    Make mistakes and stay strong.

  24. A big mistake that happened to me is when I broke my arm, I fell off the edge of a couch when I was jumping. My brain grew by not jumping on the edge of a couch or even jumping on a couch.

    1. This is very dangerous. Be careful next time

    2. That is a big mistake. Although your brain should have already told you to not jump on the couch even before you broke you arm. Anyways, it was a good writing and a unlucky fall. But at least you learned something that day.
