THE CAMERA CREW
Jay
There was a camera crew that came in our classroom. They put up lights in the room. They interviewed Mr. Crosby and Alex and watched us Skyping and using Google Earth. Then they went to Celest`s house. They recorded Celest and interviewed her. We went to our first recess and then she went to eat before us at twelve o'clock. We went to our second recess and the camera crew went to Celest`s house on our first recess. The persons who filmed us where Gary, Bill and Ray. Then they were video taping Celest at school on the laptop. Next they video taped us at school and Celest at her house. Then school was over.

Halloween
Jay
I like to celebrate Halloween because it is fun. I don`t dress up for Halloween because I think it is dumb. Sometimes I don`t go trick or treating. I spent my Halloween time with my cousin`s trick or treating. When we were done trick or treating my cousin`s and I trade some candy. Halloween is good because you can spend time with your family and friends.

THE DAY SOMEONE BROKE IN OUR CLASSROOM
Jay
Have you ever had a bad day because today is my bad day. It is my bad day because our classroom got robbed. They only stole a camera and a cord you can use to connect your camera to your laptop or a computer. The bad thing that happened was that they broke a $600 glass window with a big rock. The rock landed on a leg of a table and left a scratch. I was scared because I was worried if the laptops were gone. When we looked though the laptops were still there. That makes me feel better.

THE DAY SOMETHING WENT BAD AND THEN GOOD Jay
Boom! went the water in the cup. What happen? I went outside because I thought it was cold but it was hot. So I drank some of the water and it tasted weird and I turned invisible. I looked at my hand and I was looking at the ground. I didn't know what happen but I sold some water and the people didn't like it so I tasted it again and I turned invisible again. I went to my sister and boy was she scared. When I went outside people buying a lot of water. There were boys and girls. The boys wanted the water because they wanted to scare their sister. The girl wanted the water to scare their little brother. There where little kids they wanted to scar their little sister and little brother. And that is how that day was bad but then good.

WHAT I LEARNED FROM A STORY
Jay
What I learned from Maniac to be a most helpful friend is that you must be kind to other people. No mater if the people are different color they can still be your friend. Even if people are bad you mite be friend with them. What I learned from Harry Potter is that you have to be kind to outer people and they will be good to you. In the book Maniac Magee his parents died in a train accident. He has to live with his aunt and uncle. He runs away from them. Then he meets a girl named Amanda and bad things happen to family and her so he runs away from them. Then he meets an adult named Grason and he died to in winter then he runs away. He try to kill himself then he meets two kids named Ressell and Piper and he lives with them for a wile. And they have a big brother named John. A couple days he smashes Ressell and Pipers toys guns because they pretend to play rebels and they kicked hem out of their house. The next day they find hem in the library to ask him if you can come to my birthday party and they tell him to invite any one to their birthday so he he invites a black person named Mars Bars. At the last part of the story Maniac final he has a house.

The Day Our Class Blog Was Blocked
Jay
On February 6,2008 I was upset when I saw that our class blog was blocked. Why I feel that way is because this is my fist year blogging because I wasn’t here last year I was in a diferant school in reno. What I have improve from blogging is writing because I use to write sloppy and messy but now I only writing good but a little bet sloppy. I think students should blog is because they can lean how to do there punctuation,capitulation, and correct English.

What I Learned About Space
Jay
What I leaned about the speed of light is it doesn't go miles per hour it goes miles per second. All so it could go around the Earth 7 times in 1 seconds. Light takes 2 seconds to go to the moon.
Alpha centauri 25 trillion miles away. It is the second closes star to Earth.
If you glances at the sun you are looking at the sun where it was 8 minutes ago.
We watched a video that was about the planets , sun, and stares. In the video the sun is like a big ball and the planets like little balls. But when the stars show up in the video you can`t even see the sun or the planet all you can see is the stars. But at the end of the video you can see the VV Cephei star like it would kind of look like.

The Lunar Eclipse
Jay
Have you ever seen a Lunar Eclipse ? I almost saw one let me tell you about it. Each time I went outside I saw the clouds covering the moon and I couldn't see it. All I saw outside was light behind the clouds. I was trying to walk around to see the Moon but I couldn't. What I thought would happen was I might get an F on my paper but I didn't fail it. The weather was kind of cold and warm at the same time.

The Same Day Again
Jay
I had nothing to do one day and was really kind of bored, so I went outside and started to walk around the neighborhood. I spotted the friendly dog from next door in his yard playing with a ball. The ball squirted out of his mouth and shot into the street. The dog ran after it just as a car came along and BAM! the car hit the dog. My heart was pounding in my chest as I watched the dog land in the street and the car speed away! I knew I had to do something to help! I ran to the dog and saw that she was still alive and breathing. Her eyes opened and looked up at me. I could tell by the look on her face that she was scared, in pain and wanted help. So I … called the ambulance and they came. Then that happened again the next day again and again every signal day. In tell one day a man tried to save her but he died. Then the next a lady tried to save them but they all died from the truck. The next day they try's to use a motorcycle But when they crash it works a little. So they try the same car but it only slows it down the dog stills dies. So the next day they take a picture of him and are going to show it to the police so they try to find him but they can`t. So the next day I try to save her and I did save her and then that did not go over again.

Skypeing With Mr. Mayo’s Class
Jay
When we were Skypeing with Mr. Mayo’s class their picture didn't work. Our class internet went slow. So then we had to wait for them to restart and for them to call us on Skype. The next time we tried there picture still did not work but we still Skyped with Mr. Mayo’s class. Some of the children’s from Ms. Mayo’s class shared there internet safety project. We got cut of two times on Skype. The second time we got cut off Mr. Mayo’s class picture clearly worked and some of the kids started to scream and made lots of noises. Our class shared some of our ideas about internet safety. Mr. Mayo’s class asked questions like what time we start school. Then we answered some of the questions that they asked. Some of the the students didn’t do it that day. So then the people that didn’t show thir internet safety projects did it the next day. Mr. Crosby had to use his wireless card so the internet could go faster instead of going way too slow. So then the following day only two groups were left to share their story. They told their last story. Then the kids in Mr. Mayo’s class finally were done with the internet safety project. That is all I recall.
