My Dance Life by #yei6

Dance life is awesome.  I dance ballet, salsa, bachata, and hip hop sometimes.  Ballet is simple. You need a beautiful  dress and tights and ballet slippers.  If you know tondue then it is easy for you to do a balansay.  A tondue  is where you always stretch your feet all the way and one foot at a time and never bend it.  You might know what a balansay is, but you might not and that’s OK.  A balansay is when you put your right foot in front, and then you put your left foot at the back of your right foot and you lift up your right foot.  And then you do the same thing but to the other side.  An arabesque is where you take one of your feet, and then you lift it up and half way through and put one of your hands up and the other to the side.

Now I am going to tell you about step1, step2, step3, step4, and step5.  Step1 is when you stand up straight and put your feet next to each other and take the bottom of your feet and take them to the side (and ONLY THE BOTTOM FOOT).  Step2 is where you put your feet apart from each other.  Step3 is when you take your left foot and you take your right foot and you put it in the middle of your left foot.  Step4 is when you put your left foot in the middle, and then your right foot goes in front of your left foot and then your right foot stays one feet away from your other foot.  And finally step5 is when you put take your left foot, and you take your right foot and with your right foot you put. it in the point of your left foot.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Kids, don't try this at home! by #grace19

If you don’t like reading about injuries, you might not want to read this.

I was originally going to do a cake decorating blog post, but I got hungry and ate the cake. So instead, here's the story of how homework landed me in hot water and the hospital!

 Last week, I was working with hot glue on my book project. I had to use a toothpick to apply the glue, and the glue was cooling fast. I decided to boil some water to keep the glue warm. Good idea? It was until a l spilled the whole liter of water on me! Of course, I did the expected reaction. I ran around screeching my head off. My mom was at Stop & Shop, so it was just my dad and brother at home. My dad didn’t know what to do, so he called my mom. When she rushed home, she got quite a surprise. Her daughter, on the ground screeching with blisters all over her, her husband, panicking, and her son running around getting ice packs for them. She did the smart thing. She called 911.

 When the ambulance arrived, they loaded me in the back. My dad and my faithful companions and stuffed animals, Stashey and Pusheen, came with me. If you ever thought riding in a speeding ambulance would be fun, trust me it isn’t. I felt drowsy because of some medicine the paramedics gave me, and I didn’t want to be there.

The hospital was a strange place. Everything was SOOOO sanitary. When we got to my room, I was feeling MUCH better. The doctor told me that I had some second degree burns, and that they would probably transfer me to another hospital. I stayed in my small room until they told me I was going to have to go on another ambulance ride. WHEEEEEEE.

 The other hospital was a lot bigger and more colorful than the first one. They brought me to a HUGE room and told me to lie down on the bed. They cleaned my burns and gave me some medicine. Then they let me sleep.

 The next day, I stayed about half the day, and then I was free! And I’m almost, ALMOST, missing school, but only my friends, not the work!

How I became captain on my hockey team by #jake17

Picture its 2-2, 45 seconds left in the final period of the game you have the puck, and there's 2 guys on you. You manage to shake both of them off you. It’s just you and the goalie! You’re stickhandling, trying to know when to shoot. Then you fake right. You fake left. Then you back hand it hoping it goes in, and it’s going going ping! Did it go in? Before the game we were pumped we felt like we were going to win. Then we finally got on the ice. We had a great warm up drill. The whole team did the stretches. We still felt good about the game until they scored the first goal. So we got hungry for the puck, then I scored. We were happy. Then we scored again. We were in lead 2-1 all the way to the third period. With ten minutes left they scored, and tied it up 2-2. We felt like pulling our hair out. Then we got to 45 seconds left in the game. Alex passed the puck to me. Perfect pass. Two guys are still on me. I manage to shake one off then the other with a fake toe drag just me and the goalie alone stickhandling. I fake right. I fake left. I backhand the puck going going ping! The puck hits the post and went in. The crowd goes wild, “Yaaay! Yaaay!” They were chanting our team name. 11 seconds left. After the game I was voted team captain. And that’s how I became team captain. What’s your story?

A few days with my grandparents by #addy11

My grandparents are really nice and as most  grandparents do they spoil me.By the way these were my dad’s parents. My grandparents arrived around 10-11 pm on Tuesday night. On Wednesday morning my grandparents stayed in bed while I had breakfast. When I got home my grandparents were getting ready to go somewhere with my mom and dad. My older sister watched me and my little sister. It was really fun. We even baked cookies and watched a movie. My mom, dad, and, grandparents got home around 8:30. On Thursday morning my grandparents woke me up and, we had cereal then I went to school. When I got back from school they weren’t there, but they said they would see me after so I went to karate. When I came back we all went out for dinner. When we got back home we watched a few movies. Then me and my sisters went to bed. My grandparents went back to there house in sunny, hot Florida. I love when my grandparents visit me and my family. Some things about my grandparents are they have a lake house in Maine. When we visit them it takes us 8 hours! They also have a house in Florida. It’s really fun. They have even have a crocodile in their lake in their backyard. It’s really fun having them here.

Hulk vs Wolverine by #zach10

Hulk vs. Wolverine

By : Zachary G #10

Who is a stronger superhero Hulk or Wolverine? Who is faster? Smarter? More energetic? Better at fighting? This blog is ALL about those five questions. Repeat them in your head and read on...

Hulk (A.K.A. Bruce Banner) is a doctor that studies in nuclear physics. Bruce was was in the military for a test where a gamma radiation bomb is being tested. A young teenager Rick Jones is hurt when Bruce is exposed to gamma radiation. Banner is also a part of two superhero teams: the Avengers and the Defenders. Hulk’s powers are super-strength, super-human speed, and he has enhanced healing abilities. The Hulk character bio

Wolverine (AKA James “Logan” Howlett) is the son of wealthy farmers John and Elizabeth Howlett. He takes the name Logan from his childhood friend, Dog Logan, in order to hide his identity. Logan is very skilled in fighting because of his training as a soldier, CIA agent, Samurai, a spy, and an X-men member. Logan’s abilities are superhuman speed, super strength, and extraordinary healing. He has high intelligence he just doesn’t use his smarts at their best. Marvel: Wolverine

Marvel has a rating system zero through seven zero is worst seven is the best.

Wolverine

Durability	x	x	x	x
Energy	x
Fighting	x	x	x	x
Intelligence	x	x
Speed	x	x	x
Strength	x	x	x	x

So Energy, Intelligence, and Speed

Hulk

Durability	x	x	x	x	x
Energy	x
Fighting	x	x	x	x	x
Intelligence
Speed	x	x
Strength	x	x	x	x	x	x

So Hulk would win Durability, Fighting, Strength

Wolverine is smarter so he would plan an attack for Hulk’s strength though Hulk would probably do stupid things that Wolverine didn’t think of. Wolverine would run around Hulk, and Hulk would just kick him with all the styles of fighting styles he knows. Hulk wouldn’t be able to fight for long because of how tired he gets. Wolverine has better endurance and would start to slow down only after taking damage.Who would win Wolverine or Hulk I can’t say it’s your imagination not mine.

Thank you for reading my blog!

Five Interesting Animals by #angela5

Have you ever wondered what interesting animals were in the world? Well here are five interesting animals you probably never knew existed.

1. Maned Wolfs. The Maned Wolf is an animal that very much looks like a fox with long legs. But really it is not a fox at all, neither a wolf even if it is in the name. They are actually a the largest canid of South America.    

                                                    

2. Japanese Spider Crabs. The Japanese Spider Crab is a crab that lives in the waters of Japan. It has a leg span of 5.5 meters long, and it’s body can grow to be 40 cm.

3. Dumbo Octopuses or Grimpoteuthis. It’s name comes from the Disney Dumbo character. It lives 9800 ft to 13100 ft below the surface of the ocean.

4. Vaquitas. Vaquitas is a rare species of porpoise endemic that live in the gulf of California. They can be as long as an average size person (1.2 to 1.3 meters). It’s name comes from a word in spanish that means “Little cow”.

5. Tufted Deer. A Tufted Deer is a deer that is a part of one of the smallest species of deer. These deer are almost near threatened.

Why do we need homework? by #lachlan3

Why do we need homework? Well one thing is teacher’s goals are to teach students so they know everything they need to know by the end of the year. And homework is something they have us do so we can learn a little bit more before the day ends, almost like you're in classroom at 3:20. Like I said the teachers get us to learn everything in your grade. The reason kids hate homework is because they want to go home and do whatever, not still do school work for another 10 or 15 minutes. But even if you don’t like homework you still have to do it. If you don’t you could get in trouble with your teacher so do it. Another example of homework is book reports.  You don’t have to do it in one day. Usually teachers let you work on it for a month or two. But if you’re lucky your teacher will not give you homework on Fridays because some teachers think a weekend is a good time for some rest and relaxation. So be happy if you have homework on only school nights. Remember some students have homework on weekends. So the next time you see your homework sheet always remember there is no escape!

Jupiter by #alex8

Let’s talk about the largest planet in the Solar System. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun. Jupiter is called a “Gas Giant” because it’s atmosphere is made mostly of hydrogen gas and helium. Jupiter is covered in thick red, brown, yellow, and white. One of Jupiter's most famous features is the “Great Red Spot”. The Great Red Spot is a hurricane that has been raging on Jupiter for a long time. The Great Red Spot was discovered in 1831. The Great Red Spot is bigger than two Earths combined. It is also decreasing in size. Jupiter has three faint rings discovered by Nasa’s Voyager 1. Jupiter rotates faster than any other planet. Earth rotates fully every 24 hours, and Jupiter rotates fully in 9.5 hours. Jupiter has fifty three named moons, and scientists think there are sixty seven all together. Jupiter completes an orbit around the Sun every time earth orbits 11.86 times around the sun. The first spacecraft to orbit Jupiter was the Galileo, which entered orbit on December 7, 1995.  Jupiter’s magnetic field is 14 times stronger than Earth's. If you are one hundred pounds on Earth then you will weigh three hundred fifty

one pounds on Jupiter.  As you can see Jupiter is an amazing planet with many cool features.

Resident Evil 7 Review by #preston15

Have you ever played Resident evil 7?

It is the 7th game in the Resident Evil franchise, and it’s also the most different! Resident Evil 7 is the only game besides the spin offs.  Because it’s in a first person style, it’s much much scarier!

It’s puzzles are hard, making the game a lot more fun.  the enemies (called the molded) make the game more difficult having to defeat the molded and the family (Jack,Marguerite, and Lucas.) Another change is that in the first Resident Evil game it has  zombies.but in this game they changed it up where they are zombies, but they look more like monsters!

The game also has ways ways to heal with herbs or first aid bottles!

The game also had 3 keys: the scorpion key, the snake key, and the crow key but they can only be used for snake, crow, and scorpion doors! There are also lock picks and keys, but their usually meant for locked crates which have useful items such as herbs and first aids! You may also find antique coins that can be used to trade in for weapons and things you’ll need to defeat the molded and the infected family!

There are also these tapes that you can find, and you can use them to play these mini games that will help you later on the game and just to find out what happened to a character and to solve puzzles!

I just really like the improvements CapCom put into the Resident Evil game, and I hope they stick to what they have been doing with the new game!
