The Knives……

Article posted October 28, 2011 at 08:43 PM GMT0 • Reads 1254

My friend Emily stayed home alone. The house has a curtain that separates the hall and living room. She hears footsteps down the hallway.



So she grabs all the knives she could find. And just threw them on her coffee table and they're all messy. She calls her mom and heard footsteps. She looks out and the knives are nice, neat, and organized.



She came to our house cause she was scared. Then her mom came to our house cause she knew Emily was there. When she went back and the knives were put away.



I think it really was true because when we went to pick her up she was outside her house in the dark and she hates being alone now. But they moved.

The Turkey Escape!

My name is Mari and my sister’s name is Mila and so is my grandma. We’re turkeys. We hate Thanksgiving. Every hunter wants me because I’m fat. It’s the day before Thanksgiving.



I’m walking through the forest with Mila, my sister. But then something came falling out of the tree! It’s a cage, RRUUUUNN!!! But I couldn’t. I was already trapped. The cage was voice activated and the password was get out. My sister ran away and forgot about me. But now I was about to get cooked. But just as I was going to get cooked somebody broke in and he yelled get out. And I was free I ran all the way home. The burglar got what he wanted, money.



We moved to a city that doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving. And now I live with my sister Mila and my grandma.

Finland!

Article posted December 12, 2011 at 11:14 PM GMT0 • Reads 628

It was the night before I went to Finland. I was at my house packing. It was December 16, 2010. Logan, Connor, Dylan, my dad, and I we’re all going to Finland. Tomorrow came. We all had to get up early in the morning so we wouldn’t miss our plane. I threw up in the bathroom after the plane landed. But I always got plane sick.



On the 17th we were in Helsinki, Finland. We took days building this. There was at least 3ft of snow! They had a garage we used to make a track. The track went from the garage roof to the ground. It was the 20th when we drove to Jupijokie (A town in Finland). It was three hours of boredness. But our family was there and it was worth it. Our aunt, cousins, my godfather and mother were all there. After we all saw each other. We got a Christmas tree, then we put up decorations.



On Christmas Eve Santa walks through the door. It’s a tradition they do in Finland. It was fun! I got almost everything I wanted. So we built a snow tunnel and it took us till the 28th to build it. It was huge. The grown ups could crawl through it! It took me and Logan days to build it. But we did it!



It was the 29th so we drove to Helsinki again and then we took a plane back to Seattle. There was still some more presents in Seattle for us. My favorite gift we all had to share was a kitten!! She is a tuxedo cat. We named her Kelly Kitty. She will hide in bags and we pick her up. She would peek her head out and play with her toys.



It was the best Christmas break ever!

My resolution and wishes

1 I wish that I will become a model.

2 I wish that people wouldn’t litter.



1 I will watch less TV.

2 I will be nice to my brothers.

3 I will read one book every night.

why you should keep decorations up after Christmas.

Article posted January 10, 2012 at 08:54 PM GMT0 • Reads 527

I think you should take them down around Dec 30, 31. Because we have alot of decorations. Decorations are pretty and they make your house look prettier. They make your house stand out like the Manashes.



It takes alot of work if you do it around your house so it makes sense to do it later cause instead of doing all that work you can chill and just play with your gifts from Christmas.

What’s on my mind is snow. I’m wondering if it will snow again. I hope it does so we can have a snow day! If it doesn’t snow tomorrow we’re going to have to make more snowflakes for the wall. If we fill 3 shades with snowflakes we get a snow day.

My vacation was great! On Tuesday Ellie slept over at my house and so did Ava and Evelyn. Then on Wednesday I slept at Ellie’s house on Thursday and Friday. On Wednesday I forgot what we did. But when the snow came we played in the snow and helped Ellie’s neighbors with the fort they were building and then went sledding, had hot coco, later on went sledding again, then we did pretty much the same on Friday.

Jan 24

What’s on my mind is my favorite sitter is coming over to watch us yeah! I love her! Her name is Hannah. But it turns out that her sister came, but she’s awesome too.

Jan 25

I don’t really have anything on my mind, just that Paul Owen Louis is an author and he’s visiting our school. I love my new desk, just not my partner. He’s not mean just loud.



I’m getting hard woods in my room this weekend, it's lightest brown. My friend is coming over maybe, her name's Ellie.

Yesterday we  went to the Pacific Science Center. It was awesome! We learned about space and mostly planets in the planetarium. Then there was a laser show, There was a place were people could lay down.  There was a big huge place were there was big huge speakers. There was music so you could dance. With lasers on the wall and ceiling, and then we had lunch. Then we explored and we also went to the dinosaur area. and the tropical butterfly house. None of them landed on me.

Our young authors books are about our blog. All of our favorite articles are put in a book. It was a pain, but it looks good. My favorite article is the weird week. It's not on my blog but maybe my teacher will post it on my blog. So you can only find it in my book. You can read my book here

Public Speaking

Article posted April 5, 2012 at 07:53 PM GMT0 • Reads 2067

I felt after the first class because once you do it once, you can do it again. So it wasn't that bad. They were quiet. They didnt have any questions. I was surprised cause they were first graders. One kid had a question, but it wasn't about earthday.

I was expecting a lot of questions. The second class was pretty much the same. But they were kindergarteners, so I was expecting a lot of questions from them too. But they didn't have any questions. So it was alright, and I won't  feel weird about speaking in classrooms

Decorating bags and saving the earth

I love decorating bags! Because I love art. also I have a ton of ideas so I just love art!!! I have decorated 3 bags, and am working on one more. If you read my blog and you get my bag please comment! I have my name on all 4 of my bags.  

 

You could save the earth by picking up litter and throwing it away and also by using things that are recycible. And that's about it but most importantly don't forget to visit this site  http://earthdaybags.org/  remember to comment

The new computer lab is painted and looks great. The computers are the best computers I've ever seen! They're called iMac computers, flat screen and flat keyboard.



I love the new Computer Lab and Computers!

MSP

Article posted May 10, 2012 at 07:13 PM GMT0 • Reads 703

May 8, 2012 What I thought about the MSP test is there were not hard parts but not easy parts. It was a big book so it took so long I didn’t skip and come back. I feel great and now the math test is coming up and I feel better about that one. The snack was ok. I brought my own but Mr. A said to eat his snacks so nobody had better snacks than anybody else. I did some colorings, it felt like I was just taking a normal test nothing bad or good.



May 10, 2012 I liked the math test better because it’s harder but the reading was the easiest thing ever. But they both took forever because they are big books. The snack was ok, I poured the juice and everyone kept asking me first, I want the juice first. It was so irritating.

My favorite thing this weekend was going to Mercedes birthday party and Sam’s birthday party (Sam’s a girl) and sleeping over at Ellie’s. The parties were at Lincoln Park and Roller skating rink.





May 9, 2012

What’s on my mind is, well two things are on my mind. I get my phone back today whoa.



The second thing is I’m going to Finland with no parents or brothers but a guide is going to show me which plane and gate to go on. I’m going to go there for a month and a couple days!! And I’m missing the last week of school, actually I might I’m not sure but I’m so excited!!!!



May 11, 2012

Today I’m hoping Ava, Evelyn, Elle, and Casey can come over, they might sleep over.



Then on Saturday it's Elle’s party and it will be fun watching movies doing the runway and ice cream sundaes, Yum! Then it will be mother's day, awesome.

MAP

Map is not fun. Well reading isn't, but math is way better because I'm better at that than reading.



I was the last one finished and I didn't like that the teacher kept looking over my shoulder. I was nervous.

Changing desks

Changing desks is fun. You put little slips of paper in a can and the teacher will call out a name. And the next person he calls out is your partner. If you haven't already sat next to them, you sit next to them for 3 weeks and then we switch again.
