Halloween Scene Art

Halloween Scene art is where you draw a house and decorate around it with halloween ghosts and scary things! We made our houses extra scary by adding cracks and eyes in the windows. We drew stuff around it like frankenstien,skeletons,and bats. I had alot of fun doing this and hope we can do it again next year for halloween in sixth grade!

Zeus on the Loose

Zeus on the Loose is a really fun game that uses addition. There are thirty cards in all. Four of each card from numbers one-ten, and there are sixteen god cards. There is also one Zeus figure. First shuffle the playing cards and then set one card face up and the rest face down in a pile. Let one person pick a card out of the pile and show the rest of the players. Then add up both of the cards and if it's a sum of ten, you get Zeus. If there is also a god card to steal Zeus you get him. When you get to one hundred then the game is over. Whoever still has Zeus wins!

Las Vegas

In Las Vegas I was playing a baseball tournament. We took forth place. After the tournament I went on the rollercoaster New York New York. My hotel had an arcade and a whirl pool. My favorite thing was riding the New York New York.

To New Zealand

I went to New Zealand in January-Febuary 2010. My mom and dad decided to take me to New Zealand for my birthday. We went to New Zealand to visit family. We stayed at my aunt's house in Hawera. We were very close to the ocean and we went swimming a lot! It was fun to see stock car racing because they don't race them in the United States. Even though it was fun swimming, watching stock cars, and being with family my favorite thing was being able to eat meat pies and fish and chips.

Solving the Problems to Compute-a-Design

My two favorite school subjects are art and math, so compute-a-design is my favorite activity. Compute-a-design is where you answer all the math problems. Then you look at the design to the side and put the same design on the spaces with the answer from the math problem you just did. When you're done, it looks awesome. That's why compute-a-design is my favorite activity.

My Trip to Florida

My trip to Florida was a once in a life time thing. We had a beautiful house with an amazing view of the ocean. Everyday we would go swimming either in our pool or in the ocean. Our third day at Florida we went and swam with the dolphins, our dolphin's name was Tallon. That was probably the most expensive thing there but it was one of my favorites. The day after that we got to go to the TurtleHospital that was my favorite because we got to see the turtle ambulance, the E.R and the O.R. Then we went out to the gigantic pool, it was over 200 gallons of water! One day my cousin was snorkaling with a fishing net to see what she could catch, and so the rest of us went out there and she had a lobster in her hand! Last but not least my mom,my sister,and I were out on the dock fishing and I reel in a fish and a 4 foot great black heron was standing right behind us so i turn around and i take the fish off the line and i throw it and it lands in the water and the heron went right in after it.

Early Settlers Come to the New World

I really like learning about the Early Settlers in Social Studies because they have some scary encounters and amazing journeys! The first colony was Roanoke, which only lasted for a few years. John white, governer of Roanoke, left to get more supplies and food. He said he'd be back in two or three months, but the England-Spain war delayed him for two or three years! He finally got back, but everyone was gone! The second colony was Jamestown. It started out with over one hundred people, but after a while, only thirty-eight men were left. Then sixty more people came. The third colony was of course Plymouth, settled by the Pilgrims. Plymouth wouldn't have lasted long without the help of Squanto, an English speaking Indian saved their lives. That is why the Early Settlers are so awesome.

Halloween Art

Halloween art is fun because you get to draw pumpkins,warewolves, and more. My favorite one is the pumpkins. With the pumpkins we get to outline the letters in our name in our pumpkins and it's tricky. It takes probably 1hour or less it's really fun. You don't color it or any thing!!
