Energy



 



What is energy? All the power that powers the lights the Internet, TV and energy also can be your so excited and ready to go. If you were going to charge something all the energy will power up the battery.



Were do you see or experience energy? I see energy at my house because of all the lights and TV's, internet too. Then we have phone's that need to be charged. That's how I see and experience energy that I use at our house and stores!

When I was Five and Now!

Article posted October 1, 2010 at 10:54 PM GMT0 • Reads 129

When I Was Five By Desiree When I was Five I wanted to be a monster from Monsters Inc. I wanted to be Boo and meet Mike and Sculley too! My favorite kind of toy was a walker popper that would pop and I would drive my parents crazy!POP! POP! When I was five my favorite animal was tiger from Winnie the Pooh I liked when he would hop and walk I used to hop with him on TV. My hiding place was between the couches my parents could not get me and changing my diaper they had to move the couches for me to change my diaper! My friends were my cousins Daisy, Delilah, Dre and Chris. They were born before I was born and Claudia went to Head-start with me. We would go down the slide and get dirty in the sand box! When I was five I had to have a bottled cup.When I was five I did not have control yet. I liked going to Chuck E Cheese to take pictures and almost all my tokens were spent on pictures. When I was Five I watched Dora The Explorer, Monsters Inc. and Shrek! I watched it almost every DAY! NOW I want to be a make-up artist that expresses ladies inner beauty and then own my own beauty shop with hair being done and cut nails too! Now my favorite toy is a sketch pad that I use at the end of the day after school when I am done with my homework. I use very Bright Colors! Now My favorite kind of animal is a Cotton Top Tamarin. I like the way their hair is like cotton, that's why there called a cotton top tamarin. My Friends are Alejandra, Sonia, Priya, Brianna, Claudia still! Now I still watch Monsters Inc. and Shrek! I still like to watch Mike, Sculley and Boo do their part in the movie!

My heart was not complete with out my grandpa. He grew up and was born in Mexico.He was a hard working man. He had died from a brain tumor. My family decided to barriey him in California. He had worked by were we wanted to barriey him.



So we went for the funeral. It was a terrible moment to say good bye. But before he had went down my grandma took a hand full of sand and a rock. She gave those to me to remember him and this moment. “That one sharp rock is full of memories and the sand is full of love”she said. I can get any kind of sand and a rock but this gift will never be replaced!

The Stories Julian Tells By Ann Cameron



This is my sentence on figurative language in this book.


P.2 “The lemon pudding will taste like a night on the sea”. I liked how Ann Cameron explained how good it would taste! I will be an appetizer to eat on the sea and taste the yellow lemon pudding.

    When I Went To My Cousin’s Football Game In Newman.






We would always go see my cousins football game’s in Newman. Dre and Chris were really really good. Then we found out that Dre got to have an all-star game that means when your a really good player you get to play one more game and get candy, shirts, and other things that represent that team and school. We did end up going to see him for a surprise in Newman on Saturday. We went and no one knew that we were coming to see Dre play his football game.



When we got there everybody in that side of Newman was wearing Orastimba colors. Orastimba is the school they play for. The colors are purple and yellow. We finally showed up to the football game. We were the only ones not wearing purple and yellow. We had to look for my for my family in the bleachers because it was so crowded. They all blended in with the colors. Then I spotted them! They were with my little cousins Damian and Dominic eating candy. We sat down on the rough bleachers.  



They won the game! The crowd went wild! Dre felt like if he was in cloud nine. Air horns came from every direction.  Chris was a little sad that he did not get to play an all-star game. Dre was hungry and he wanted MC Donald's. My mom bought him what ever he wanted we got ice cream it was nice, cold and moist. When we got home to my aunts house we celebrated with loud music, food, family and friend!

The Time I Went To The Grand Sierra To Bowl






It was my sisters party and all my cousins were here form California. My sisters party was at the Grand Sierra’s Arcade downstairs from were the buffet is. My house was full of people. It was the next day after my sisters party. We were all getting ready to go to the bowling center. All the hot water for us to use was all gone and all used up and some people had to go to my aunts house and take a shower. The water goes away fast when you have three teenage boys and take for ever on what they were. My mom said that the are worst then girls.  It was a bad idea to let them go first. After finally we all finished getting ready we packed the car up let see there was About 20 to 25 people in the house. There was 4 cars that were full.



We finally got to the Grand Sierra bowling center! We ended up playing about 4 to five games and we rented 3 lines. Every one had money and every one paid for there shoes. I did not win any of the 4 or 5 games because....there was my older cousin’s Dre, Georgie, and Chris they were so good and my little cousin Mikey is pretty good too for his age. They bowled without the bumpers and the bowling ball was just flying when it was their turn. My sister had fun but she was a little sad that she didn't  win any of the games but she was happy all my cousins came for her birthday!

My Answers To The Questions

Article posted March 9, 2011 at 10:49 PM GMT0 • Reads 283

My name is Desiree. My favorite sport is baseball not really a fan of soccer, or football. But my family goes for the Cowboys and the Raiders. My favorite movie is Despicable Me. It was a comedy the movie I thought was cute and hilarious. I liked the part when he takes the girls to the carnival and gets on a ride with them.

Then when they come home they get there face painted. The sad part was when they leaved and he did not make the dance re-sidle.

MC Donald's is not really my favorite thing to eat. I think its to greasy and oily no offence but I don't like MC Donald's! The thing I would like to ask you is.... What is your favorite book? What is your favorite subject?

Trying To Get Across In My Dream



In my dream I was trying to get across with my cousin Daisy on a steam train. We were trying to sneak into the train without a ticket. We were half ways there. It wasn't long before the usher started to check to see if everybody has a ticket. We hid in the train to see if we could get away with it. It was a bumpy ride sitting on the floor! But then, the usher came in the back and kicked us out! He kicked us out in this swampy forest full of dust, dirt, sand, quicksand, and a hole bunch of animals and insects. Disgusting! Big huge beetles a variety of ants and some other bugs I didn't even know about.

We had to stay there for two day’s until my parents figured out that my cousin and I were missing. I was sad that it took them this long for my parents to figure out that we were missing. You could not believe what we have seen insects eating other insects! My dream felt really real. One of those days I had imagined that some kind of insect had crawled up my arm. My cousin Daisy and I went for a hike for food. I Found little food and when I turn my back my cousin Daisy is over there suck in quicksand. She cant stay still shes a cluts. I had to get a stick and and pull her back up.

The next day a helicopter came looking for us we waved our hands like there was no tomorrow! It landed with its big bird like wings we hopped in daisy all full of sand, mud and I was full of dust we were a MESS. We came home safe and sound. My dad had woke me up by shacking and yelling at me I was mad but after I gave him a big bear hug because I was happy to be home !

The Time My Cousin Helped Me Roller Skate

The Time My Cousin Helped Me Roller Skate






I never was good at roller skating. I would wiggle and wobble but never really knew how too. I got invited to my friend's birthday party at Roller Kingdom at that time I was embarrassed to say that I did not know how to roller skate. While they new how to roller skate and I didn't. So I felt a little left out.  Wobble! Wobble! pop! There I went right on the floor splat! We went home sore. My sister Destiny and I could hardly walk.


Then my cousin Daisy had got invited to go to Roller Kingdom with her friend from school. At that time Daisy knew how to roller skate. Me and my sister had not gotten the hang of it yet. I would go around in the ring and when she would catch up to me I would wobble and she would catch me and sometimes she would leave her friend and go with my sister or me. The more she helped me I got better and better. Daisy would still have to help me here and there. But by the time we had to leave I knew how to roller skate and I mean that was after maybe 2 or 3 hours! But I got it !!!!

My High Hopes 2

Article posted April 26, 2011 at 06:37 PM GMT0 • Reads 599

DSC03457 My High Hope

I live in Sparks, Nevada, and my High Hope for my school is to have more sports. So that we would have to get good grades in order to play. That way the teachers can encourage us to get better grades before someone can play a sport. Have more materials to use like pencils, glue sticks, paper and more. It is better to have more materials than less materials. More kids not giving up in school.. and be successful. My High Hope for my Community is that people stop littering and start recycling. So that way the community can look nicer. Participate in more activities and get along better. Things can be more affordable then people having to struggle to have money to feed there kids.My High Hope for the world is that we make the world greener and replace oil with energy sources so we do not run out of it. Save trees from getting cut and burned down. Then giving money to the people who suffered in big earthquakes and tsunamis.

The Chip Bag Experiment

Article posted May 3, 2011 at 10:41 PM GMT0 • Reads 187





Description: We are going to attach a small party balloon that is green that is about ¼. We are attaching a baby blue balloon that is small. We are attaching a orange balloon that is about full. A bag of chips too. They all are attached to the payload. Next, we will send the payload up over 100,000 on a high altitude balloon.



Hypothesis:



Green Balloon: I think the green balloon is going to blow up all the way and then it will pop and get 2x larger than the size it is before it goes up.



Blue Balloon: I do not think the blue balloon is going to pop I think it is going to blow up a little bit and then all the air come out of it.



Orange Balloon: I think the balloon is not going to last long because it is filled up all most all the way



Bag Of Chips: I don't think the bag of chips is going to pop but maybe if it was filled up with air then it would probably pop!

Balloon Experiment Results



Payloadtop



Description: We are going to attach a small party balloon that is green that is about ¼. We are attaching a baby blue balloon that is small. We are attaching a orange balloon that is about full. A bag of chips too. They all are attached to the payload. Next, we will send the payload up over 100,000 on a high altitude balloon. Hypothesis:



RESULTS - What Actually Happened The green balloon expanded when it was really high in the air. When it came down it was shrinking back to it's own size the size that it was before it went up in the balloon. Green Balloon: I think the green balloon is going to blow up all the way and then it will pop and get 2x larger than the size it is before it goes up. RESULTS – What Actually Happened The blue balloon popped in the air over 80,000 feet we knew that because it got in some of our pictures. When it came back all we had of it was a little nub stuck on the tape Blue Balloon: I do not think the blue balloon is going to pop I think it is going to blow up a little bit and then all the air come out of it. RESULTS – What Actually Happened The orange balloon popped right away because before it went up in the balloon it was blown up all most all the way. It went up pretty high but it popped eventually coming down. Orange Balloon: I think the balloon is not going to last long because it was filled up all most all the way.





RESULTS – What Actually Happened The bag of chips did not really explode there was a hole that was letting the bag release some air so that it did not cause it to pop. Bag Of Chips: I don't think the bag of chips is going to pop but maybe if it was filled up with air then it would probably pop!



This is the bag of chips with the little hole in it keeping it from popping.
