Going to Spain

Miguel





I have always wanted to go to Spain and watch Barcelona play soccer. My favorite team is Barcelona.

Once it was a week before school started and my mom said it was time for you to get a backpack. Then we went to a soccer store and I asked them if they had a Barcelona backpack and they told me that they sold the last one about an hour ago. I was disappointed but then I remembered that Pumas is my second favorite team, so I got a Pumas backpack Then we went home. When we got home Barcelona was playing and the best thing of all was that my favorite two players Ronaldinho, Giovanni Dos Santos, Lionel Messi, Thierry Henry, And Samuel Eto’o were playing.

Marsopolis

Miguel

Making Lunch

It was Wednesday the day that we were going to Marsopolis. I got up that day and remembered that we were going to go to Marsopolis. So I went to the kitchen and made my lunch. I got 2 pieces of bread and made a big sandwich. I thought about my drink and then I got a Caprisun and a little drink called cool.

At School

When I got to school I weighed my lunch and It weighed less than 22 ounces. I asked my friend Tyler if he had anything to eat left over. He said ‘‘yes’’ and I said ‘‘thank you’’. Tyler said but you can’t have it. I said Tyler your messed up and he said I’m only playing around with you I was glad he said that. Mr. Crosby our teacher gave us some journals that we were supposed to write about Marsopolis then he told we are heading out to the bus we were in a hurry but we made it.

Getting To Marsopolis

When we got to Marsopolis there a lot of kid in there before us it was kind of scary but I got it under control but it was difficult but I did it.



Building Our Habitat

First we didn’t know what we were going to do. So we looked at a paper that someone else in our group brought with them. We saw who is doing what so we got started on it. What was hard because I had to hold up the plastic most of the time. Our habitat was done but it was small. Smaller than all the other habitat except for one of them that one was pretty small.

Eating

I ate a sandwich and a Caprisun and a cool and some apple sauce. I traded Hot chettos for jalapeño chettos.

Rock Videos

Rock videos are videos of rock but they don't have the same wording Like Lean Like A Cholo. Most of them were not really good because you could you couldn't hear them well and see them well that why I didn't like the ROOOOOOOCK VIDEOS.

Out Side

Out side we played Duck Duck Goose, we also raced it was fun and played telephone. I was hard playing telephone because people made up the another sentence in stead of the one that they were suppose to say.

Walk Through

It was fun going in all the habitats because it was big.

Internet Safety

By Miguel

If you have your phone number on the internet it can get you into problems.

So if you have your phone number on the internet people that you don't know can contact you and call. They can also find out your address and your last name.



You can get into trouble thanks to your address.

If you have your address on any web site your window can be broken, egged or even worst you can be kidnaped. That’s why you should not have your address on the internet.



Having a Web site of your own

If you have a Myspace, Bebo or Facebook you have to be really careful of what you put on it like your address, phone number or last name. So if you do take them off as fast as you can because they can get you in trouble.

Middle and Lower Class Help

Dear Senator Obama and Senator McCain.

If one of you ends up as president I would appreciate it if you guys could help the Middle and lower class because they are the ones that could die of hunger or thirst. They are the ones that need money, food and all those other thing like clothes, shoes, etc. But you should help the lower class more than the middle class because the lower class does not have that much money or education. That’s why you should help the middle and lower class.

Parks/Skate Parks

This is another thing that I would like to ask you senator Obama and senator McCain. I would appreciate If one of you senators would make more parks and skate parks because if our community had one close we would be there all day long.
