Tweens
Tweens is a program for girls that are 10-12. You learn about things that you will go through very soon. I herd that it is very fun. I think almost all my friends will be there. The time is 3:30- 5:00 I think. This week we are learning about cosmetology. That means make up. I think we are going to learn how to put it on. I wonder what else we will be learning. I have wanted to go to tweens for a very long time. I have herd that at the end of tweens we get a lot of prizes. We also get many presents at the end of tweens. The best thing about tweens is that we can walk down to the place where tweens is. Tweens is a program for girls 10-12.

My Gift To Me
If I could give myself anything in the world I would give myself a contract. I would give myself a contract to be a famous actress and a singer. I would give it to myself because it is my dream. They would give it to me in Hollywood. They would give it to me at the movie set. I would be a star in their next big hit. They would give it to me at five o’clock. The producer would give it to me in an envelope. I would be very grateful and exited. Then I would get very rich. Then I could be in all the magazines. I could then go out and play my new song. I could travel all over the world and see new things. I would be in all the newest movies and commercials. I would never have to call to get a ride somewhere I would just have a limo to take me every where. I would be so thankful! If I could give myself in the world that is what it would be.

Wild Hair Day

Today
This morning for math we did probabilities in math. After math we went outside to practice batting and pitching. Then we went outside for recess. Some of us play 4 square, play ground and some play anything they want to do. On the field there was people practicing baseball for the tournament. Then we came back inside and now we are reading cricket in time square. After we are going to guided reading. Then we are going to go out side for lunch. Lunch is just like recess outside lots of people play 4-square. And lots of people play extreme 4-square it’s when you can do powershotes and even hit it nicely. But the boys gang up on the girls and get us out a thousand times and even little kids on the primary side come. After we play we come inside and eat lunch some people get pizza pretzels and when they are waiting in line they do hang men and every body is guessing letters some would even yell out the whole alphabet. Even some people are allowed to go sit with a friend and eat there lunch. Jaci and Jess

Nerd Day
Today is May 28th 2007 but it is also Nerd day. Students if they want to can participate as dressing as a nerd. People have tucked in their shirts, carried text books, wore glasses, and pulled their pants way up, pulled their socks so they were touching their knees and a lot more. People even wore socks with sandals. Our teacher Mr. Oakes did it so did some other kids including me. Some people didn’t do it because they don’t like sprit week or just think people will not like them anymore. My friend and I think it is what is inside not on the outside. I hope people had fun with Nerd day. I am glad some people. But I still hope more people do Hat and gum day.

Bears
Bears are out at this time of then season. There are two kinds of bears around here. They are Grizzly and black bears around here. Black bears can be brown, blue, white, cinnamon, black, blond and possibly more. Grizzly bears can be black, brown and maybe more. You can tell between a grizzly or black bear because a grizzly has a hump on their shoulder. Black bears have very short tails. Grizzly bears live in the mountains and are very rare. (According to Mr. Oakes.) Black bears almost live a over Canada except Nunavut. They also live in the United States and north Mexico. Bears are out so be careful.

Crickets

Crickets


We were studying crickets and we made a picture of one and labeled it. We also used a magnifine glass and looked at them up close. It was so fun and scary at the same time. It was so cool and they have two wings and hairy legs. They have a thorax ,a mouth, abdomen, antenna and wings. They also can be different colors like black, gray, and brown. They are really small and have large antennas bigger than their body. Some of them are different sizes. We all have to catch a cricket each I think so that will be so discussing. Crickets are scary and they don’t fly unlike grasshoppers. Crickets are weird. I am scared of crickets.
