My Dog by #molly20

I have a dog. His name is Ollie. He is one of my best friends. He is a bulldog and is absolutely disgusting. He can be CRAZY, or sweet, and even the best snuggler. He has a white face with a light brown spot on his forehead and a rope going over his nose.

Whenever he needs to go outside, he goes to the back door and jumps up. He puts his paws on the wall and bites his leash, then shakes it. There is now a part on the wall where there is no paint. Every morning before the bus comes Ollie and I go outside and take turns chasing each other. One time he ran up to me and jumped on my back and made us both fall.

Every night at dinner he would wait under my little sister and brother for them to drop food. Sometimes I give him some of my dinner when I don’t want to eat it. Most of the time he sits in front of me. He gets a scoop of dog food every night and a refill on his water. None of his food stays in the bowl because all he does is stuff his face in the bowl and still has more than half of a scoop on the outside of the bowl.

At night my room is down the hall and Ollie’s bed is in the living room. His bed is about twenty yards away, and I can hear him snoring all the way from my room. Sometimes at night he would get out of his bed and walk down the hall and go into my room. My door doesn’t shut correctly so if you push on it it will open. He will sometimes get on my bed and snore all night with me.

Book Review on Diary Of A Wimpy Kid #13 by #grant10


I read this book named Diary of a Wimpy Kid #13. It is one of the best books in the series in my opinion because it just has so much action and is not that long. The book is a realistic fiction. The main character’s name is Greg. His brothers are Rodrick and Manny. His best friend is Rowley. Greg is this kid who is unpopular and awkward but is good at making comics. Rodrick is a character who is lazy and annoys Greg. For example on snow days he sleeps in until 2:00 or 1:00. Manny is a whiny and annoying character because all he does is whine to his mom and tells on his brothers.In one of the books when Greg goes to get his tonsils removed at the hospital Manny uses all of his money in a game on clothes for the pet and changes his password to his account, he's only six years old . Rowley is a character that is nice but boring. For example he likes this singer thats for girls named Joshie and goes to a concert and brags about it. That was my book review on Diary Of A Wimpy Kid

Legos by #jack11




I love legos. They are one of my favorite hobbies. I love architecture legos and lego city. I have built The White House, The Capitol Building, The London Skyline, including The Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, The Eye, and Big Ben. I have also done The Leaning Tower of Pisa in Pisa, Italy, The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, and New York City including the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, the Flatiron Building, and the One World Trade Center, in Architecture sets. In Lego City I’ve made so many of them I can’t name them or count them. This year for Christmas I really, really want to get a lot of very very big expert lego sets. Every Christmas I set up a lego train around the Christmas tree. At my mom’s when we open presents I put on Christmas music and turn on the train, so it goes around the tree. At my dad’s we take out the elf on the shelf and let it fly to another hiding spot for us to find in the morning. We also sometimes put a train around the Christmas tree at my dad’s house to. I love it when they challenge me. It’s like searching for things on the internet.

My Weekend By #amy8


I had so much fun this weekend! My family, my sister’s friend, and I traveled up to Vermont to go skiing. We went to “Mount Snow”. I’ve been there once before, but the mountain was still new to me.

The trip started Friday when my family went to pick up Courtney, who’s my sisters friend. From there the long drive began. Luckily my grammy and grampy have a house only a couple of hours away, so we stopped there. On Saturday morning we were actually going to Vermont. That split the drive in half so we wouldn’t be in the car for three straight hours. To my surprise the drive up there wasn’t boring at all because there was lots of scenery the whole way. I saw rivers, lots of snow, farms, cows, horses, and mountains.

Something I thought was super amazing l is that all of the houses and buildings looked like gingerbread houses.
When we finally got to the ski resort we right away got our gear on and were headed towards the lift. There’s this really unique lift called the bluebird express, and it has this thing called “the bubble” that comes over the lift..

On that lift there’s this one bubble that’s golden! I’ve never been on it but would really like to. From 8am-3pm we just skied and skied until the lifts were closed. Soon were tired but not too tired to go swimming.


There was so much steam you could barely see our faces! After swimming we were definitely way too tired to anything. So my dad had booked a condo for a night. I was expecting it to be as small as a hotel room, but when we walked in I realized I was completely wrong. It was enormous. There was a super epic loft that looked over the whole condo!

Unfortunately there was an ice storm the next morning, so we couldn’t go skiing. But something that was fun that we did was get ice cream. On the way home my dad said we should go get ice cream, and we did. It was so yummy!

I had an awesome weekend full of fun new experiences!  I would like to thank my dad for giving me the opportunity to ski! What did you do during your weekend?

Meeting Izaya by #emmeline18

    
It was sorting time. She had no idea what she was going to get. She doesn’t even know the four houses. Of course she was picked first. “Ella Jane” said McGonigal. Why those words? Why? As Ella walked up she trembled with fear. She sat on the chair, and as the sorting hat hit her head it said “RavenHuffleGryffinSlyither.” Then everyone paused again. Ella was thinking  it was going to be a long year. “So what is she?!” said Hagrid in his booming voice. Everybody laughed.
“I know who Ella Jane is… She is a mudblood,” said Levi McpHerson the school’s bully. Everyone laughed except for Izaya. Right before Ella could make a run for it Izaya said, “Ella Jane is no mudblood. She is a beautiful and smart girl. I mean we all knew she was smarter than Levi  because seriously a mudblood she is literally glowing AND cleaner than you will ever be.” Ella, Izaya, and everyone laughed even Hagrid.
“He got you there.” said Hagrid with a big laugh that followed he all the way back to his seat.
Ella spoke in a strong voice “Does this mean I get to to what I get.” “Yes you will pick at the end of sorting.” said McGonagall.
“Thank you!   Thank you! Thank you!” said Ella still jumping around. So the sorting went on and on. The worst part was she couldn’t sit because whichever table she sat at would determine what house Ella would be in. So Ella just stood there.
But wait it was Levi’s turn. “Siliverin.” said the sorting hat. “Izaya.” said the sorting hat. Yes! Yes! Yes! I was thinking. “Ravenclaw!” said the sorting hat.
“I want the sorting hat to pick for me.” said Ella.
“Ok.” said McGonagall.
Ella Jane walked up. As soon as she walked up the sorting hat exploded, and a pile of dust dropped to the ground. Everybody's jaw dropped. It was silent until...there was a tiny sorting hat that popped up, and it said. “I am the same sorting hat. I just got refreshed. By the way Ella Jane you are a Eleghbesky”.“What is that?” questioned Ella. “Well...Do you know what the Chamber of Secrets is? If you do not Harry Potter found it and there is a creator to everything so Emily Eleghbesky made it and that is a new house now.”, said the sorting hat.
“Ella you can sit in the Ravenclaw”. said McGonagall.
Ella ran to Izaya and said. “Thank you”. Then she gave him a big hug.










My top five favorite restaurants by #ava22




 Yummmmmm I smell a good blog coming on!!!!

I will be talking about some really nice and good places. I like a lot of places with food.  I like some places more than others. I think a lot of people like Burger King, Wendy's, or Chipotle. But those are fast food, but  when I say restaurants I mean good ones like the Chateau, or Bertucci's, and  Cheng Du.

Down below are my top ten places I like to eat when I can.


  1.  The Chateau because I like their chicken broccoli alfredo.

2.    I like Bertucci's  because I like their chicken piccata. I think it is really good because you get bread rolls and butter.

3.  I like Cheng-Du because of their noodles and chicken with soy sauce on it. It's really good because their chicken is cooked perfectly.

4.  I like Home Plate because of their cheese burgers with pickles.

5.  I like Fiesta because of their quesadilla.


I really like these places a lot. They are really good. I think a lot of you would like these places if you have not already gone there.  My favorite of all of these is the Chateau. Their chicken broccoli alfredo is really good. They also have other stuff besides chicken. They have salads, pasta, and a GLUTEN FREE MEAL FOR PEOPLE WHO CANT HAVE GLUTEN LIKE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.


I think the gluten free meals are okay. They are not the best. If I had a to pick between gluten free and regular I would pick regular because the noodles get to the texture like playdough.

Those are my favorite places to eat. I hope you try one place.

Card Tricks by #owen23

I am going to teach you how to do some card tricks. The first one is the Four Kings card trick. It is a story of four kings who go to rob a bank. Before your audience comes you need to get the four kings and three random cards from the deck. You will need to hide the three random cards behind the last king to make it look like there are only the kings.


You have to hide the random cards or else the trick won’t work. You next put the cards in your hand onto the rest of the deck This way the random cards should be on top. Then you say the first king will go to the bottom floor (as in the bottom floor of a bank) and put the card on top (a random card) towards the bottom of the deck. Be sure to not show the card to your audience or else they will see it is not a king. Do this again with the next two cards going up a floor each time. After that the top card should be the first king. You flip it over and put it to the side and say, “The last king will stay on top to watch for the police.” Then you should say, “A few minutes later the last king sees the police coming. He calls for the other kings.” Now you should tap on the top of the deck three times.

Reminder: The top three cards are kings. Pause a moment for effect. Then flip over the top cards, and they will see the kings. If you hid the cards well at the beginning your audience should think that you did magic. If they say, “How??” just say, “Magic.” That is the Four Kings trick.

About my Reading Life by #jordan7


I read a lot of books, and I really enjoy them. That’s the thing when I read I try to enjoy them as much as I can. When I enjoy them I start to like the author’s series. I check into them to see what other books there are from the author and, I find a lot like the Jeff Kinney books. The first teen book I saw was Diary of a Wimpy Kid. They were FANTASTIC. They were so good. I looked and looked in the library and, I finally found it.They were better than the first. I read them so much that I took them home. Anyway...I like to read a lot of books.When I was little my mom and dad bought some books named Clifford I read them and they were amazing!(First book I ever read by myself). Reading them was a lot of fun but, when I got around 7 or 8 I found Diary of a Wimpy Kid. They were both so fun that I read two at the same time. The first Clifford book I read was Clifford’s Halloween, which was FANTASTIC. I was out of control at that point I was twisting and turning trying to figure what to read but then something terrible happened...I got my growth spurt. That meant I was too old to read the Clifford books. I had to start reading the Diary of a Wimpy kid only. I was super sad but that did mean I did not have to go crazy of what to read.

Going to my Mimi’s house by #joey2



When I go over my Mimi and Grampy’s house I have tons of fun. We play tag. We even sometimes go in the hot tub. One year on Christmas my Uncle Mike throws snowballs at us while we are in the hot tub. The past couple of years they host Christmas and Thanksgiving. This year though we are hosting Christmas, but they still host Thanksgiving. When my brother and I were little we used to go over my Mimi and Grampy’s house all the time we also play badminton. We hit it as hard as we can because sometimes even if you do hit it as hard as you can it will only go so high. We always watch great movies when I go over their house. Last time I watched The Life of Party. We never go there and not watch a great movie. We have a choice we either go into the hot tub or watch a movie. We sometimes go in the hot tub, or we mostly pick the movie. The last time we went to my Mimi and Grampy’s house we picked to watch a movie. In conclusion whenever I go over my Mimi and Grampy’s house I have so much fun.

My Amazing Trip! by #mia21

On my blog this week I am going to tell you about my weekend! Over the weekend I went to Boston. We stayed at this hotel! It was so much fun! The day that we got there we went to go shopping. We got lots of stuff like candy apples, candy, makeup and other cool things! After that we went back to the amazing hotel! I loved the hotel and how it was decorated for Christmas! I wish I could of stayed in my bed when we went to sleep for days!

   
The next day of the vacation  we had to go home sadly. I wish we could of stayed. Then we ate breakfast  as fast as lightning and packed to go back home. On the way home we were chatting and singing to songs on the radio. My aunt, mom, and I all had so much fun on the vacation! But it is always so good to come home from vacation! I really am hoping that we can go again some time! My favorite part was probably shopping around and just having fun and spending time with my family! I really loved this amazing trip!

The Blue Bunny's Thanksgiving Adventure #parker12

  

Hi! I’m Blue Bunny, and I had a fun adventure!!!

On Thanksgiving I  saw Parker wake up her sister, because every year on Thanksgiving there scout elf named Tree comes to there house. His name is confusing and should not get mixed up with a tree like in the park or something. So, I hopped all over the house. at first we could not find him then, we found him high on top of the counter. Our silly little scout elf. After we were getting everything ready.Then I helped my mom with Thanksgiving lunch. I was scurrying around looking for things for what seemed to be ever. Then we got the food and table ready and started eating. It all looked so good, I was ready to eat as soon as I saw it. We had green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, stuffing, stewed apples, pumpkin pie, and of course the Turkey. After that I got really full. Then her and her sister were playing around the backyard and had lots of fun, hopping around . Then our family got ready to decorate the tree. We spread all the branches out and put the lights on the tree. I  wasn’t even sure we had enough space for all the ornaments, We all had different ornaments to hang. I was so happy to see the tree lit up right in front of me. I had lots of fun. We had so much fun on Thanksgiving day. Then we said, “ good night” to our elf and got ready to start a new day. What an amazing day! I had, a great adventure and snuggled up under the Christmas tree in my box to go to sleep.

Basketball Game by #Chase1

This week I am blogging about my first basketball game. By the way it was pretty awesome.I really like basketball because you are always moving and it gets intense. So it all started on Saturday. We got there, took some layups, then discussed the game plan. The game turned out pretty well. We ended out crushing them 46 to 22. I did pretty well. I got 6 points. I am going to tell you something right now.

I am more of a defensive type of person. Well that's at least what I hear and what I think. I was going a little to rough. I got two fouls in the first quarter and then one in the second quarter. A foul is basically when you did something like hit a person's arm when there shooting.

Overall my team played well. We each got a basket or an assist, which is a pass to someone and then they get it in. Most of us stole the ball on defense, which Is literally stealing the ball from them. The team we played did not pass the ball that much. Only two players got points for their team.  Compared to us, when we passed the ball everyone did well and was proud of themselves.

One of my questions for you is did you once play basketball or still do you now? I really hope you enjoyed my blog about my first basketball game this year a real lot and, if you ever need any pointers in basketball you can come to me.

Volcanoes by #andrew4

Volcanic eruptions happen when gas bubbles inside magma, or hot liquid rock, expand and cause pressure to build up. This pressure pushes on weak spots in the earth's surface, or crust, causing magma to exit the volcano. Volcanoes act similar to a shaken soda can. When you shake a soda can .Pressure builds and then it explodes.  A volcano is similar that when pressure builds the magma explodes through the crust.

Here are some fun facts I learned from National Geographic for Kids: “Did you know that about 1,900 volcanoes in the world are considered active and are likely to explode again? Also lava can reach 1,250 degrees celsius and has the potential to burn everything in its path! If you used a glass thermometer to take the temperature it would melt.” The soil near volcanoes is said to be rich fertile which is why some people set up homes on the side of the volcano. “Did you know that Maleo birds use the heat from volcanoes  to hatch their eggs! They bury their eggs in the soil or sand near volcanoes. When the chicks hatch they claw their way up to the surfaces. 1 in 20 people in the world live with in “danger range” of an active volcano. Now you know a little bit about volcanoes”.

My Thanksgiving Break by #Sankar 16

My Thanksgiving break was GREAT! My cousin and my aunt and uncle came over. We played catch. We watched the movie Wreck-It-Ralph. My favorite part we did was when we went to LAUNCH! That was on the last day of their visit. We got to jump for 1 hour. I played dodge ball there and I did terrible. I got out every time. My cousin Siva barely got out. He was outstanding. In one round we teamed up to go against my sister, and my team won. In the other one, My sister and I teamed up to go against Siva. Our team won. We also played Chutes and Ladders we played six rounds, eventually, we got bored. I won 2 rounds, Siva won two rounds, and my sister won two rounds so, basically, it was a tie. One other day, we watched another movie. It was called Singam 2. It is about an Indian policeman. I liked the part when he traveled to Durban and arrested the villain, Danny. Then, we played Paxon on the computer. The rule of the game is to fill in the square until it gets to 80%. Siva LOVED that game. That was my Thanksgiving break.

Captain Allergic’s Adventure by #kayleigh13


I, Captain Allergic, had a great adventure. Kayleigh had me since before Thanksgiving and did a lot with me. She even made me a special bed! I was asked if I wanted to go to the movies to see Wreck- It Ralph 2, but I said no. When they got back she told me about it. But describing it would be a spoiler. So she also brought me up to her room, and I got to try on accessories. I found the one for me, a cowboy hat with a brightish color of red. She also drew a picture of me near a table. I looked FABULOUS! Next I decorated the tree. It looked sparkly and beautiful. I also didn’t want to get over stuffed on food, so I had a piece of pumpkin pie when they got back. Next was the sleepover. It sounded fun, but I forgot to come. I heard it was fun though. Next was the math test.  We had some time together as we fixed some problems. Next I saw her play Fortnite and Brawlhalla on Xbox, I enjoyed watching but longed to play. Well that was my adventure, and I enjoyed it very much.

Top 3 Disney World Rides by #Luke6

I’m going to Disney World this week and thought it would be fun to make a top 3 of my favorite rides.

3.The Twilight Zone; Tower of Terror
One Halloween night a stroke of lightning hit the Hollywood Tower Hotel. A chunk of it disappeared, as well as an elevator carrying 5 people! No one ever saw them again. Now the hotel is haunted. First, you walk through the dusty hotel lobby. You come to a tiny room where you watch an episode of The Twilight Zone. Rod Serling tells you the story of Hollywood Tower Hotel. You’re next to go on the elevator. When you get onto it you go through an episode of The Twilight Zone, where you see the ghosts of the five people telling you to join them. Then it pulls you up and down. It feels like you are going to fly out of your seat!


2. Expedition Everest
This roller coaster is a blast! It takes you speeding all over Mt. Everest. When you get to the top the track is broken. What? All of a sudden you start going backwards through the mountain. But then you stop on the wall you see the shadow of what destroyed the track. It.is.a.Yeti. It starts to come for you, but you escape in the nick of time. At the end you have defeated the yeti, and all of you are safe and sound.

  1. Splash Mountain
This ride takes you through the world of “Song of the South”. You go along as Br’er Fox and Br’er Bear try to capture Br’er Rabbit. But Br’er rabbit tries using reverse psychology on them, and he gets them to take him down to Briar Patch. Little do they know that Br’er Rabbit was born and raised there. But it’s too late, and they fall down into Briar Patch. You come along for the ride! So, Br’er Rabbit escapes unharmed, but the other two end up getting attacked by Br’er Alligator in a thorn bush. Don’t be surprised if you get soaked on this ride.

"How To Make a Gingerbread House (JOKE)" by #salvador14

Hello there fellow humans! If you are unaware, it’s Christmas time! It’s time for presents, food, and family! It’s also time for gingerbread houses! Some people don’t really know how to do that, so that’s why I made this guide! It’s really easy to do it, so you will have zero problems doing it! Warning: if you have not read the title, this is a joke. Don’t actually take it serious. With that out of the way, let’s back to this! First, let's get the gingerbread! Get some fresh ginger root and plain white bread. Shove the in the oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit and 30 minutes. After that's done, we get to the icing! Put sugar and water in your blender and mix it. Then after that you should start putting them together! Now you open the blender and scoop the icing out into a plastic bag and make a little dispenser. After you do that you make walls, roof, and chimney. You have to make sure that you hold each piece together, or you can also eat each piece Whatever happens first! Either way make sure to enjoy your gingerbread house as a decoration or as a tasty treat to eat!

First Basketball Game by #homam5


On Sunday 12/3/18  I had my first basketball game. It was a home game. It was in the morning. Our coach told us to be there fifteen minutes before the game so we could warm up. When we warm up there is a team passing and a team doing layups or sometimes shooting mid range, but our coaches don’t like shooting threes. So you run up to the free throw line, call for a pass, and then the passing line passes. You fake and then drive in for a layup. Or then if you were shooting you fake dribble, get to the elbow and shoot, then rebound.  Then pass the ball to the passing line and get in the line. The ref blows the whistle, and we go to the bench. The coach tells us our positions and line up. At the beginning of the game I was on the bench.
Five people went on the court and five people got off the court. In the first quarter the score was eight to two.  Our coach wanted us to pass and move so then you would get the ball and try to make a layup. By the second quarter the score was fourteen to two, and by the end of the game it was 33 to five.  Our coaches said we played amazing defense. I played Amazing, so the coaches said I could choose what we we were going to yell like hamburgers and I went to Walmart after, and I loved my first game.
