Blog Reflection

I think the blog was a great idea because it gets us involved with technology. I don't blog at home but if we kept going i would keep going. if you need anything to improve on, each student gets their own blog, and they get to name it.

Greek Drama

Did you know that in Greek drama only men were allowed to perform on stage? Well I didn't think it was fair when I found that out! The men have to wear these masks so that when the people watch the performances they can see the actor's expression from all the way up at the top of the bleachers! They also wear masks to make the performance more funny if it were comedy or more dramatic if it were a tragedy. This is something really weird and different but they would start their plays in the morning and end the plays at night. If I were in the audiance I would be so tired! Guess what it's all one play! There are only two things the plays would be about, they are tragedy and comedy!

7th Grade

When I get to 7th grade I will be the ruler of the school... I still have a bunch of questions! Will I still have my same friends? Will the teachers still be nice or mean? I'm so worried about 7th grade how will my selective be? How will homework be? Oh I need to calm my nerves!

From The Feilds

At dusk until dawn they're just a myth, but when midnight comes they awake from their dens.
The fields are forbidden for a living soul. For which one enters will never return. There will be no funeral for there is not a body to be found, and no sound will be heard . The fields are forbidden to thee outside world, if you enter this field. Those who we fear you will not hear the sound of death. For which when something will rise. You will hope to close your eyes for you will not survive. . . This field.
15 year old Nate Starling and his twin brother Sam and their 4 year old sister, Jessy. Had a normal life in New York city. That is until their father had left them from a nasty divorce with their mother, and moved to the most deserted place in the United States of America. Right on the border of Nebraska and Iowa. Then almost 6 months later all three kids leave New York and spend the entire summer with their father on the border, but something that the kids didn't know is that Their fathers house is in the middle of a cornfield and the only way to get to it is to drive a mile on a dirt road to the house. Then strange things start to happen.
like whispers, and knocking on the front door but no one is there, but thats only the begining. The kids learn that these disturbances are a sign of warning, and someone wants them out, but over time they figure out that it is not someone, but something.

Destiny

I stick my head through the metal bars
My eyes scan the trees,
The road,
The pastures,
And the sky,
But you still aren't there.
A girl comes up and
Says my name, Destiny,
She pets me,
But I don't notice
Because this girl,
Wasn't you.
The lights go off
And I decide to give up
For the day.
I eat and I dream
I dream about you
About how you came
Every day.
How you would brush me,
How you would laugh,
Last of all I dream of you riding me,
In the arena,
The show,
And the trails.
I wake up and remember
Maybe today
You will come.
I stick my head through the metal bars
My eyes scan the trees,
The road,
The pastures and the sky,
But still you aren't there.

Books

Why do we have to read books in the first place? Most of them are boring. I don't who would like to read books. If you do, why? What's the point of them. All the are, are just pieces with words on them. Then slapped together with sheets of more paper or some hard stuff. If you are in love with nature and still love to read books then your messed up. Because in order to make books they have to cut down trees and guess what that does? Kills trees and that gives us less oxygen. Let put that in an easier way, books kill nature! get it, got it, good. So if you like nature stop reading book and stop this madness now! and save the planet by not cutting down any more trees. If not you may die if they keep cutting down trees. I'm not kidding you might die if people keep cutting down all the trees. So what do ya say, ya with me.

Lost

My mom had a beautiful palomino mare last year.
We found her dead in the pasture three months after we bought her.
She was only five years old.

Last week we found an even more beautiful mare.
She is also a palomino.
She also is pregnant.

One week later.
She had the baby.
It is half horse half donkey.
It is a Molly.
(Molly: a female baby mule)
Her ears are bigger than her head. (Jennie: a adult female mule)
She has a small brown body.
A delicate graceful head.
Her mane and tail are black.
The thin tall legs that support her body are brown with black tiger stripped legs.
And to top it all off she has a little nose as white as snow.
We named her Penny but she costed a lot more than a penny.

Baby Blizzard is her mom.
Her coat shines the color of golden flakes.
A creamy white mane falls to her shoulders.
A flowing tail is to the ground.
A white snip makes her face look smaller.
While under her mane on her face in white is the shape of a Continent.
It is Africa home to the zebras.
$1,500 dollars worth of training in her makes her a legend.
We call her Baby.

Then one night we get a call. Its Gabe.
"Hurry, Hurry!" he yelled." some one just left Chucks with a truck and trailer and Baby is Gone. You got to come to Winterset and help me look for your mare!

So we left west Des Moines that Sunday night to find our selves in the country in the middle of the night looking for Baby and Penny.
We almost hit 32 deer.
I counted them all.
My mom saddled Monty and off she went down the road.
Alex and I drove around town telling people about the missing mare and foal.

expect Penny to be with Baby if you find her. Penny will most Gabe called again." She wasn't stolen the trailer was Chuck's. She got out of the pen so most likely get eaten tonight.

So sadly and unwillingly we went home.
I got no sleep to worried.
For all I knew I could be sleeping peacefully while Penny was being attacked and torn to shreds.

They were both found the next day with nothing more than a scratch.

Miles of fun!

The True Warriors

Who are the true heroes in today's society? The Jocks? The Populars? I didn't think so. The true warriors of today are the people who can think outside of the box. Not that small little thing they call "the field" or "the celly". They some how believe that they are the cool people but when it comes to facing fears the just scream and run or act tough to impress but are really in need a new pair of pants. They think that the people with few friends are losers or nerds but are really the people who will always have someone to rely on. Those Popular people have people who say they are their friends only to be safe but inside they hate them. I have 4 core friends who would stick with me any day, any time, but would know when to turn down an invite to trouble. Our personalities are a perfect mix to the point were we are unbeatable. Those boys who think that they are so "Gangsta" can call me whatever they want but when that day comes I'm going to be the one pulling their butts of the floor after they are knocked down. Some people may say that I am doing this to impress or look tough but I'm just pointing out the stuff that they are to blinded to see in the first place. I hope that this has opened up some peoples eyes to realize that they aren't the warriors, just the people who should rely on them. And just for the people who don't get it here's a little saying that I live by. Size doesn't matter strength does and strength is nothing more than how well you hide the pain.

LATE

I woke up
at 8:05 thinking I was late.
So I hopped out of bed,
combed my hair,
and brushed my teeth real fast.

I picked out a non-matching outfit,
I really was in dread.
I didn't want to be late,
Oh-No! Oh-Great!

My bowl of cereal fell on the floor.
No time to clean it up.
Then another thing fell,
my cup of ice cold OJ!

I looked outside ready to cry,
but it was so nice today.
I looked at the calender,
and noticed that today,
of course,
was Saturday.

from mountain top glory

From mountain top glory, to dark valley below we often feel where did god go.
The valley of darkness seems like defeat, but god desires to train our faint feet.
Walking in the valley takes practice and skill he's training you for good and not ill.
In beauty we seek him when you are alone. thought we don't feel him were close to his throne.
Go back to the basics his word is so true, there in the quite god will meat you.

Recommendation

I recommend the book Down the Rabbit Hole by Peter Abrahams, because it is a very good suspenseful mystery. Peter Abrahams did a great job of making the reader want to solve the mystery themselves!

Summer

Summer is almost here

Summer, I do not fear.

The sizzling sun,

After summer has begun,

We'll have tons of fun!!

Owwwwww!!!!!!!!!!

I was at my friends house for a Christmas party and all the snow had melted, so it was really wet out side. We were playing basketball on their sport court. The ball rolled away into some trees, and I was on the sport court by myself. I got board so I decided to do a slam dunk without the ball. I slipped and fell once I grabbed the rim! I landed flat on my face and I started screaming! Blood was spewing out of my nose. My friends rushed over and saw me. They ran inside telling the adults that I was dead, because it looked like blood was coming out of my mouth. It was late so when I was all better we didn't go to the ER. Two weeks later, my nose wouldn't stop bleeding and I was vomiting blood! An ambulance took me to the hospital and we found out that I was about to die. They saved me, and told me an ardery was cut by a scab in my nose.

Blog Reflection!

Question: What did you think of the bog?

Answer: I liked it! It was an awesome way to get our writing out there for other people to read!

Question: Would you continue blogging? YES! If the whole class keeps checking, then we can keep up with what everyone has been up to! Please keep it open!

Question: Anything to improve/change?

Answer: It would be nice if we got on more often!

Be Strong

You may feel very stretched out,
so very long.
But, unless you want to fail,
you have to Be Strong.

It'll get better

It'll get better,
I promise you,
It'll get better,
in a day or two.

You may feel flt,
like a dead rat.
As sick as a dog,
or a lump on a log.

You may feel like your in pieces.
Like your in a shredder,
but I promise you,
It'll get better.

Blog

Blogging is a good way to share your writing. I think that sometimes it was hard to choose what to put onto the blog. I don't plan to blog over the summer. If we blog next year I don't think we should have to blog as often. I like reading other people's writing but sometimes it is hard to find, I think that if we were to continue this we should find a way to make the blog more organized.

A+

When you get an A+ you feel happy and joyful for the rest of the day. Other kids who get A+ all the time don't get to feel that joy but there parents encourage them to keep up the good work.

September 9th, 2009 9/9/09

When I see you my heart stops beating, it feels like it's going to break in half. The only thing that's is holding it together are couple threads of happiness, and good memories that we had. But I don't know what to think of you now. . . you, and your blond hair and blue eyes. You changed in 6th grade, it wasn't like 5th grade because you changed. No more saying "I love you" no more. . .nothing.
Because you left me alone, and you didn't care about me or anyone anymore. You use to be nice, loving, sweet, kind, and funny. you loved me, but that all changed in 6th grade. you looked at me in 6th grade and you didn't smile like you did in 5th grade. Months passed and still no word from you. Then one day I spoke.
"Why did you leave me?" and these were the last words you ever said to me.
"I don't know" all in 6th grade.
- Things are going to change in your life, but you need to take a step forward and take a change to be prepared at life.

Friends

Everyone thinks that they have nice and good friends, but they just might not, friends are the type of people that give you shoulder to cry on, friends are supportive of you, friends DON'T laugh with you they laugh at you! That's a friend in my opinion!

Hungry Horizon

Sunlight light shines bright.
As well does the soaring kite.
The sunlight is finally dieing.
As the plane is also lying.
The yellow and orange sunlight starting to get eatin by the hungry horizon lining.
The lights finally start to get dim when they flicker out.

My Black Belt Essay

Tae kwon do

Over the past four years I have learned a lot of things from my experience in Tae Kwon Do. It has helped me learn right from wrong. It has also helped my focus and this has helped me raise and keep my grades up in school to where I have no B’s or C’s on my report card. It has made a huge improvement on my behavior at home. Since I have been doing Tae Kwon Do, my sister and I don’t get in as many fights as we used to. I am very proud of my decision to join Tae Kwon Do.

I started Tae Kwon Do in the AIM HIGH program. There I learned the basics, including things like self control, goal setting, indomitable spirit and some other things. These are the things I think about when something happens and I want to get angry. When I remember those things it will usually calm me down and not lead me to bad behavior. That is also how I have been successful in keeping my grades up and paying attention more in school to what the teacher is saying to me and the rest of the class. Based on these basic things, I have been able to change my actions at home and at friends’ houses. They now usually want or have asked me to come over again, so I can do some other things there as well.

During those four years I have really enjoyed the instructors because they are really nice and they always know what moves are the right ones for me. The instructors that I have had in the past include Master Farrell, Mr. Beyer, Mr. Shepek, Master Miller, and some of the most recent instructors are Mr. Bishop and Mr. Minor. There are still more instructors that I have not mentioned but the ones that I mentioned are the first that came to my mind.

During my second or third year, my younger cousin came to watch me at Tae Kwon Do and decided to start going to Tae Kwon Do in Sioux City, Iowa. One day when I went to watch him do his Tae Kwon Do stuff and while I was sitting there watching, I noticed that they had some of the same things that Farrell‘s had but with different names. For example, instead of a 360 roundhouse kick, they called it a tornado roundhouse kick. I thought that was kind of funny. I think that he will really enjoy Tae Kwon Do just like I do.

Also in the AIM HIGH program I learned about healthy food choices and how they can really affect your everyday life. Because of that, my dad and I have limited pop to only once a month, besides on our birthday month and then we are allowed to have two pops and only two pops. Now since my dad and I have been doing that I can guarantee that we are a lot healthier than what we used to be when we could have as many pops as we wanted.

The last thing I wanted to mention is what I learned AIM HIGH stands for. The A for Attitude, the I for In, and the M for Motion, the H for Having, I for Integrity, the G for Goals, the H for Humility. All together that would be Attitude In Motion, Having Integrity, Goals and Humility.

Farrell’s has made some really positive changes, not just in my life, but in a lot of other people’s lives as well. Thank you Farrells for what you have done for me and many others as well. Once again, thank you!

Books

Pick a book,
but only one.
You can read another.
Only when your done.

Books five knowledge.
Knowledge they supply.
If there weren't any books,
I think I would die.

Like A Moter.

Bright lights shine from the window.
Ice breezes fly threw the night.
Pink covers cover my neck.
As well does the fur of my cat purring like a moter.
A black shield then covers my eyes
and I appear in a colorful sky!

Grandpa's Garden

Every year it tries to grow,
Only to fail and grow old.
The stems go limp
and tears they cry,
but still every year, they will try.

My Empathy Paper

Empathy Paper

For my empathy project, I went to the Lutheran Church of Hope and packaged meals for the people in Haiti. What I learned from the experience is that what they are getting compared to what we get at our houses, was amazing.

The project started when we arrived and got signed in. Next we had to watch a video on what to do and how to do it. We were assigned to a table and worked with another family. We all had fun packaging meals. Everything that went into the meals was dry. To package the meals, we had to put some dried vegetables; some protein, which I think was soy; vitamin powder; and, some rice in a bag. Then we had to weigh it to a certain weight. After that we had to seal it tight on a heat strip. The sealed bag was put on these squares and then after we had two bags on each square we could start putting the bags into the box. The last things were to tape the box shut with a tape gun and then put it with a bunch of other completed boxes. I think all together Lutheran Church of Hope packaged 2.5 million meals. But our group packaged 3024 meals in all.

We did this because many people lost their homes, and family members because of the horrifying earthquake. They need food. What I thought was amazing is what we get compared to what they get in Haiti. Put yourself in their shoes, how would you feel if you had to just add water to all the stuff that we put into the meals? So think about what you get, stuff like hamburgers, ice cream, steaks, and pork chops.

I still had a lot of fun packaging meals, and we also got to meet some new people while doing it to that was a good thing.

Grateful

When you are grateful you don't ask 'why does he/she get that and I get this?' when you are grateful you say 'mom/dad do you need any help with that?' and even if they say no you jump up and help him/her. when you are grateful you don't ask 'can I have that instead of this?' When you are grateful you kiss your parents and siblings every night before bed. When you are grateful you don't sit o the couch all day while your parents clean you get up and say 'mom and dad you have done enough for the day it's time you sit and time I clean.' When you are grateful you run to a stranger that is crying and you try to think r yourself in their shoes, you help them you don't leave them to sit and cry. That is what gratefulness is to me!

The Kite and the Key

You have probably heard of the story about Ben Franklin and how he caught electricity with a kite and a key. Well the story started like this oh wait sorry my name is Jim and I am your narrator for today. So back the story.

It all started on an ordinary school day. Thomas lived four houses down the right and across the street from a rick man named Benjamin Franklin. Thomas lived in a middle class house and has the of a professor at PUFTFI which stood for Philadelphia University For The Future Inventors.Thomas really hated that there was only candles to light up his house.

One day during a lesson his favorite student Thomas E. gave him an idea of somehow catching the brightness of lightning. But all he came up with was that lightning is attracted to medal.Finally at around midnight that night he went home.The next morning the idea hit him "What if i flew a kite with a medal frame and a medal wire during a lightning storm and at the end put a key and catch the power in a glass bottle" said Thomas very excited.

He got to work very early that morning and when he got there he wrote down his idea on a piece of parchment and stuffed it in his pocket. The school day went by very slowly and then it was finally time to go. On his way home he tripped and sliced his knee open so he quickly ran home and cleaned t up. He was done bandaging his knee to find that his blue prints for his project was gone. "It must of fallen out when I tripped. He searched all evening but no luck.

Over at the Franklins he was scanning the piecing of parchment he fund in the street. Lucky for Ben there was a huge lightning storm tat night but Thomas still had the idea in his head. On his way to the tallest hill in town to find Benjamin Franklin soaking wet flying a kite with a key. Horror struck Thomas sat there and watched Mr.Franklin catch a crackling stream of power into a glass bottle. The next day there was a huge celebration for Ben and he was twice more rich than he already was. After a while Thomas grew old and died but one weird thing was that Ben too his job and someone told him that Thomas .E and Ben spent an awful lot of time together.

Fear

with out fear there's no courage. With out courage there's faith and with out faith your just an open target ready to crack. there's many thing to fear in the world but with out conquering them you'll will die. some people in the world die from there fears but the only thing to fear is fear its self. way did god make people have fear? I do not know but he may be trying to tell use something. my be its that you'll never accomplish any thing if you keep running away from what you fear the most.
some times people can't go to sleep just because something happened to them that will not go away and that will haunt them forever. everybody in the world fears something and if you say you do not thank again. even the biggest or strongest or even your a dare devil you all fear something so don't hide it ,your not the only one.

I couldn't believe my eyes. The guy of my dreams was at MY party! I ran to my best friend Ivy.

"HE CAME!!!!" I screeched.
"Oh my gosh! Really?"
"Ya!!!"
"Well..."
"Well what?"

I think in May we get use our cell phones, but I'm not quite sure. My teacher, Mrs. Moyle is really nice. I wished she didn't change her name when she got married because I have called her by her original name she used to have. We got to send three emails, one to a friend, parent, and teacher, in paper air plane form around the room!!! This class is okay so far. :-)

Soccer!

In soccer there are two teams. Each team has one goalie, three full-backs, two mid-fielders, one striker, and one sweeper.

The goalie is one of the most important player because they block the ball from getting into the goal. The goalie is the only person who can touch the ball with there hands, but they can only pick it up if the ball is inside the goalie box. If they touched the ball outside of the box, it would be a handball and would be a free kick for the other team.

Now lets talk about the full-backs. They try to take the ball away from the attacking offense and feed the ball up to their own offense. There are three positions, right, left, and center. The right and left cover the sides of the field and the center defends the center of the field and can help the sides if they are in trouble.

The sweeper gets the ball from the defense and passes it up to the striker or the mid-fielders.

The strikers job it to push up as far as the other teams defense will let him without going off-sides. When the Striker goes up as far as they can, he passes it to one of the mid-fielders. Or if the defense are back far enough he can go up farther and take a shot on the goal.

Now I'll talk about plays. A throw-in is when a player kicks the ball out-of-bounds, and the other team gets to throw the ball in down the side-lines to one of their team-mates. A goal kick is when a player on the other team kicks the ball out on the end lines. It is usually the goalie who kicks it in, but another defender can kick it if they want to. A corner kick is when the other team kicks it out on the sides close to the end lines.

Lastly I'm going to talk about off-sides. This happens when you dribble the ball past the last defender. To avoid this, all you have to do is pass it to one of your team-mates who is behind the last defender.

Baseball and Softball are Out

Have you heard? They are officially taking baseball and softball out of the Olympics! Can you believe this? I can't!I can't give you very much info on why softball should stay, because I don't watch Olympic softball, but I do watch some Olympic baseball, and it is ridiculous why they took it out of the Olympics.

Baseball is a favorite sport of America, China, Japan, The Diminican Republic, and many more countries! It can't be because of not enough teams! Also, it can't be enough fans. Millions of Americans watch baseball, and I don't know about other countries, but I'm sure the people from the countries I listed watch a lot. If I'm wrong, the many other sports in the Olympics should be taken out too! It also can't be from not enough compitition. All of those countries I listed are fierce rivals! All of them have a great chance at winning. So why are they taking out baseball?

What sport?

I looked up at the rim. Sweat gliding down my face. I bounce the ball twice, now three times. I put my arms up and throw the ball. 3-2-1-BUZZ. It goes in without touching the rim. My teammates come and topple on top of me. The crowd's beaming screams pounding in my ears. The guy with the microphone comes and hand me a giant, gold trophy and my teammates lift me up on to their shoulders. I walk out a CHAMPION.

Page 20

Page 20 is weird. Not old enough to drink moderately but old enough to drive. Not old enough to get married but old enough to date. Not old enough to get a high paid job but old enough to get a small almost unpaid job. Not old enough to go to hit the clubs but old enough to hit the mall. Page 20 is weird. I don't like it at all.

opinions on propaganda

I think that bribing/propaganda in school is good and not good. Why part of me thinks it is not good is because if you don't have common sense and got paid for finishing a book in grade school you might go up to your boss and say " Hay I finished this book now pay me."

But the good things/advantages to getting rewarded in school is that you will learn to work hard for rewards or in real life a paycheck. So like I said my vote could go either way. Although in a way the school already gives you a reward for hard work by giving you good grades and getting into advanced classes. I feel now that I wrote this I am leaning towards not giving money in school.

What Did I DO

Why me? People are calling me names were they are showing it more than me, I have a kid hold my book and he losses it, I get the computer that is glitched/ cracked and it's the last one, and a teacher mistakes me for cussing when I didn't come close. I guess I can't have all good things. Like I got the movie Avatar on DVD (BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!), I get to have a sleepover with someone who loves the movie as much as me, my grades are all A's, my foot is heeling quickly (I can actualy WALK!!!), and my teeth re shiny white not ugly yellow. PICKLE JUICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summer Days!

Sun tan!
Unique ways to have fun!
Many late nights to come!
Mostly everyone is out of school!
Every kid outside!
Rivers and pools to jump into!

Doing many things outside!
All the time its hot!!
Young kids getting ready for school, while the older kids don't care.
So many days, why does it have to end?

What is art?
A delightful creation of work?
A misshapen that turned out to be history?
It can tell a story or tells you a secret.
Or is even a hidden message.
Colorful or Dark?
Bright or plain?
It doesn't matter.

Art is a unique creation just like us

Why I don't like my parents

They make me mad at every minute of my life even when they buy me something because what I really want in my life. Also if it goes on the Internet they put every little safety filter they have on the stupid device. For example my iPod touch (F.Y.I, they didnt buy it for me[typical]) they blocked the app store, Safari, youtube iTunes, explicit songs and every other feature they have on it. How stupid is that? "My parents" stupid.

School?

why is school so long? We almost spend more time at school than we do at home. I understand that we need school to learn but why so long and so early. we spend 8 hours at school then sometimes we have 1 hour of home work. Is 8 hours not long enough? the only time we have to do something fun is on weekends and breaks. We don't need 9 hours of work to be smart.

Why?

That girl makes me mad
acting all sad
she knows what she did
why act so surprised
all she says are lies
not a surprise
that little brat
a little twit
having a fit
why a lie just to get by
just to get by
to make me mad
to make me cry
why did she do this
so mean like a devil
that red head
with makeup all over her face
is she jealous
I beat her in the the mile race
why did she spread this rumor around
now all I feel
is blue and
quite down

A New View

All of the sudden I was swept off the desk and thrown on the ground by the shredder. There was no way he was going to shred me, I know more about him than he knows about himself, I even know what his foot and hand print is. Well I guess I just have to get over it or I would die, I had to find a chance to run or at least to hide. There it was, he opened the door, this might be my one and only chance to live. I got up and ran over to the scissors on the ground, cut myself into a ninja, got a marker and colored myself black. Now it was time to move, I ran over to the door and slipped into the hallway. I ran as fast as I could and got to the next room safely, now I have to think about getting down the stairs. Well I guess I have to try and jump, but then I got another idea when a breeze on my back blew me into the hallway. I'm flying and surviving the stairs. Now that I was down on the main floor I had to get outside, he had to open the door because it was way to heavy.........

Game Tonight

Tonight I have baseball game at 8pm. It's kind of late for a school night.I wonder how it will go. I am really excited. I am glad the season started. We won our first game by 1 run.

We play the Dowling MAC. They are a new team this year. Some of the kids from a team called the Westside Stars are on this team, and the rest I don't know who.

I know I'm not pitching because I pitched in the first game. It's OK. I just want to work on my hitting before the tournament this weekend. I am ready physically and mentally. I wonder what the outcome will be.

P.S. I wrote this Tuesday night before my game.

Tough life

I've got a tough life,
I always get hit and thrown,
Nobody cares about me.

I remember the day i first got hit,
It was good until that day,
the day they hit me over the fence and forgot.

The home run was great,
until they forgot me,
Nobody cares about me.

Flowers

The fragile petals
sway in the wind
soft and smooth,
unlike metals
Pink, orange, purple, blue,
all different, like
me and you.
Clouds give a precious drop,
the help and guidance,
making the flowers pop!

Propaganda

Kids are getting money for reading and other rewards for doing good things.

I think that if kids keep getting rewards for doing something good they will always want something and when they don't get something they won't do what they are supposed to or they will just quit. On the other hand it does help them act well and do what they are supposed to. I think that kids should be given prizes but they should stop by fifth grade. Another opinion I have is that teachers or parents shouldn't just give prizes to certain kids they should give it to everybody or nobody.

Propaganda

Bribes are great, but later its hate.
Propaganda is bribe, and destroys your vibe.

Life Speed

Life
It goes fast sometimes
And sometimes slow

Oh nature, Oh nature,

You give us the birds
and the sweet song they sing.
You give us the rain as it goes 'pling-pling'

Oh nature, Oh nature,
I want to thank you.
for giving us everything.
Thank you. Thank you.

Ode to Hawaii

Your palm trees
attract me
to your full of sand beaches
I lay down and relax
seaside
Poipu, and Wailiea
then I jump at my chance
to
go and swim
in
the salty
saltwater
the waves
smash
and
crash
in such powerful
ways
oh I love Hawaii

April

Storms, storms, out of control

People go out for tornado patrol

Pitter, patter, rain dyed from the sky

The flower buds like a secret spy

In a number of days, they reveal themselves

To some flowers, the bees are like elves!

Weed

Stuck in the ground, not free.

You deserve it, right were you should be.

As people go by, you get trampled and pushed,

Finally, someone comes along, and you are smushed.

Perfect Song

Give me the beat

Melody, such a treat

Harmony, the one I need

Energy rushing through me.

Sky

Why, why is the sky so blue?

Can't it be red, or yellow too?

I know why can't be as black as a crow,

Blue helps stop the hiccups, did you know?

Perfect

Your perfect smile

makes me stare

at your for a while.

Your perfect sparkling eyes

is like watching

the sunrise.

Sweet Alabama

Sweet Alabama

Where the skies are blue

I miss you

Come back to me

Where the warm weather is

Come back to me where you should be

I miss you

Sweet Alabama

and we have animal watch, animals walk by. so come on down to my Back Yard. We also have soccer week but reserve today because of snow we are closed but you can still see the grand opening!

Family

Family should be your biggest value, stick up for them first, love them first, and feed them first. To me personally I think that everyone's biggest value should be their family. I may not get along with me brothers or sisters the best but that does not matter at all, what does matter is that I love and cherish my family. I personally think of my family first, if my baby brother falls I'm right there to catch him, if my sister gets a scab I'm right there to tell her not to worry about it. Last but not least if my sister was to get bullied at school I would be right there to tell her don't worry things will be better. That is why I love and cherish my family!

The World

I have one question that no one has answered. Will the world ever end? I mean no one knows. Some scientists say " Well of course!" Others say "Nonsense!" So, What is the answer? Will it or not?
Please comment!

Here and There

Over here,

the thunder cracks,

wind blows,

lighting strikes,

But over there,

the sun shines,

wind blows lightly,

birds flutter.

Over here,

ice hangs on trees,

the wind chills your bones,

snow falls to the ground,

But over there,

the temperature climbs high,

humidity hugs your skin,

the ground burns your feet.

Why Cant I?!?!

I don`t get it?!?! When ever I have a loose tooth people tell me at school to pull it out. Then when I try to I cant! Its like I lose all my confidence in myself when I am not at home with my dad. Then when I get home I just ask my dad to make it a lot more loose then I will just finish it! I feel like I only have confidence when I am with my dad. Because he is always like come on Shriver you can do this! Ha ha that might sound funny but he does! Then sometimes I cry but every sense this year I have not!!! I am SO proud of myself. But then sometimes my dad gets a hammer and a pencil... and then puts the pencil on my tooth and hits the hammer to it! OUCH!!! Not this time though. I didnt let him do that. It scares me way to much. So I just had him push my tooth back and for surprise I did not cry!! It still scares me though. Because knowing that something is getting pulled out of your mouth just is disturbing to me? In my opinion I hate blood it grosses me out!

My Favorite Superhero

My favorite superhero is Flash because he has the coolest outfit. I also think he is cool because he can run on water. Another thing is no one can catch him because he is so fast. My favorite thing about him is he can run around the world faster than anything else in the world. He also actually has powers, unlike some superheroes like Batman and a lot of others. It doesn't make sense how they can be superheroes without in any powers. Those are the reasons he is my favorite superheroes.
