PICC Lines!!! by #ava22

What is a “PICC line” you ask? A PICC line is not what you think it is! It’s not a picnic or has to do with eating. A PICC line is a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter that goes into your body. It is a thin, soft long catheter (tube)that is inserted into your vein. The catheter is positioned in a large vein that carries blood into the heart. It goes in your arm. The doctors will decide where in your arm it goes.

You can get a Picc line for different reasons. For instance I got my PICC line because I got strep in my elbow. I got blood clots in my upper forearm on my right arm. So the PICC line helps transport medicine into my body. It helps my body get the medicine faster that a pill or liquid would if I were to take take it orally (mouth).

PICC lines in stay in place for a long time. My PICC line will be for a month. So other people will have it in for a month or a year. PICC lines are not only for medicine. It is also used for nutrition or  for blood draws.

I find my PICC line is very helpful. I wouldn’t mind having it in longer. Because it prevents you from getting stuck with a needle. So you don’t have to worry about someone missing your vein for a blood or IV. The best part you don’t have to be scared of it coming out. Because it sowed into you three ways or more depends where you have it.

Here is a picture of my arm. If you have any questions feel free to ask me.

My favorite sports to watch by #grant10

They call a timeout with 1 second left in the second half in the NCAA. He passes! He shoots a three and makes it the crowd goes wild. Number 6 will be golf because it is so boring to watch and play.The commentators sound like they are literally trying to whisper a secret. The fifth is swimming because who wants to watch people just swim in a pool. Instead you can watch a fish swim, and it will be the same thing besides the racing. The fourth is racing because it is just watching a car go in circles, and it makes me dizzy. The third is soccer even though it is my favorite sport. It is not that fun to watch, but sometimes it can be interesting. The second is basketball because teams can usually make comebacks ,NCAA March Madness. It is so much fun to watch this year because I filled out a tournament. I think Duke will win. As I am typing this I am watching March Madness on my iPad. My favorite one is drumroll please…… football because it has big comebacks, fun to play, so pressuring to watch and in all it is just great. What is your favorite sport to watch?

Ella Jane by #emmline18

They searched Hogwarts, but there was no sign of Luna until they saw a trail of paw prints going outside. “She must be fast to be able to to run this far in 20 minutes,” said Izaya while walking on the trail.

They stopped at the Forbidden Forest. “Uh...l-let’s t-t-turn around.” Ruby told the others while shaking,

Without answering Ella Jane ran into the Forbidden Forest. “

“We have to catch up to her and go in,” said Izaya.

“NO! We mustn't go in! She would have wanted us to stay out.” said Ruby in a voice she had barely spoken in before because it was so firm and loud.

“Are you guys okay?” asked a tall figure in the forest.

“COME OUT THIS INSTANT!” yelled Izaya.

“I am Leo,” said the figure as he starting walking out of the woods.”

“H-H-Hi I am Ruby,” said Ruby stuttering.

“Why are you blushing Ruby?” said Izaya rising his eyebrows up and down.

“The same reason he is,” Ruby said as she raised her eyebrows up and down.

“I got to go but see you soon Ruby,” Leo said while blushing.

“Bye”, said Ruby.

Night time arrived... and Ella and Luna were still in the woods and Izaya and Ruby walked back to Hogwarts...

My Band Concert by #jacob9

On Wednesday I was in a concert. It was at the high school. The instrument I played is the saxophone. I played six songs.The first song I had a solo. My parents and grandparents and my teacher were there to watch me. I thought I did well. When I was on the stage I felt scared but not that scared like the first concert that I was in. I was in the high school’s concert ,but they ask if my school and the middle school if we wanted to play in their concert. The grades in my school that could be in the band were 4th grade and my grade 5th. There was three kids in my class that were in the band counting me. When I was done playing my and my family and I went to a burger place. It was the first time we went there. I got a vanilla milkshake and a cheeseburger. My family got burgers too. My grandma gave me Pez and Tic-tacs. Then I went back to my house for the rest of the night. I had a fun night at my concert and also going out for burgers.

My friends and I playing after school the past two days by #joey2

Me, Chase, Mikey, and my brother Jake played basketball and baseball. Mikey’s house is across from mine, and we play catch across the street. We have tons of fun. I got a hit away that is when you hit the ball and it swings around and comes back, and you hit it again and again. When we play basketball we play all sorts of games. We play games like the Three Point Contest, and we also play knockout.  I love that game. I live on a street that has lots and lots of kids. Mikey and I are best friends in the neighborhood. Mikey usually comes over my house because he doesn’t have a basketball hoop because of the storm a couple of years ago. Another game we play is called 1 v 1 because Chase and I like to play. Sometimes we do 2 v 1 because Mikey is over. I go outside and play all the time. Having them over made it even more fun. We played a game where you throw it and, you fight for the ball and try to catch it. It was fun. My favorite part was playing basketball because I like knockout. That was tons of fun because we played tons of games.

How is paint made? by #jenny3

Here are the ingredients.

• Pigment
• Resin
• Solvent
• additives

The color comes from the pigment. Pigment is the color for the paint,  and the pigment has many different leads in paint.

Paint is basically any liquid. It just has to have colored pigment. But you have to get the texture just right, that's pretty hard to do. So if you ever try to make paint good luck trying to get the right texture. If your wondering why I did this topic I will be tell you!

           I really like painting and wanted to know how its made. I was painting,  I just I have thought was is this made out of. I really wanted to find out! These are some reasons I REALLY like painting.

1. I think its fun.
2. It’s relaxing.
3. I paint when I get bored.
4. I like painting it with my sister because she’s really good.

My favorite thing to paint are usually people or backgrounds maybe you'd like painting who knows it could in to a hobby you like to do! It's simple all you really need is a brush and a canvas or you could get blank white paper if you not sure if you'll like it or not.

March Madness by #chase1

This week I am blogging about the March Madness. It is basically just a huge college basketball tournament. It features sixty four teams and, only one will win. I think it gets the most exciting in the sweet sixteen when there is only sixteen teams. I think the favorite to win in my opinion is DUKE. I think they are going to be playing N.Carolina in the finals. This is only my second time doing a bracket for it. I think the tournament is fun because it gets super competitive  and, it is super fun to watch. My dad and I are super big sports fans, so we try to watch all of the games. If we don't we just watch the highlights of the games and make sure the teams we picked win. If they don't that means back to the drawing board and better luck next season. I don't think my dad ever won, but he really really wants to win this year and so do I. My dad is a pretty lucky man, so I won't be surprised if he wins. My favorite team is Duke because they always win. They have my favorite player in college basketball Zion Williams who is the best player in college basketball. Go Duke.

Favorite games on Roblox by #owen23

Lately I’ve been playing a game called Roblox. Most of you have probably heard of it. It is a game where you get to design an avatar and play games as that character. The games are made by other Roblox players. My friend and I have tried to make a game, but it is too hard.

 

Here are my favorite games on Roblox:

3. Roblox Uno: Roblox Uno is almost the same as regular Uno. The only difference is that you can choose awesome rules. My favorite rule is Stacking. That is when if someone puts down a plus two to you, you can put down a plus two or four to make the next person pick up how much the other person put down plus yours.

2. Google Factory Tycoon: Google Factory Tycoon is exactly what it sounds like. You build a Google factory. You have conveyor belts with droppers to get money. There are also have some segway lines. Try to get more stuff by getting money. They have costumes to wear in the tycoon. Also you can get a slide to go into a ball pit.   

1. Restaurant Tycoon: Restaurant Tycoon is a game where you make a restaurant. There is a store called EKEA that you can buy things for your restaurant

in. My restaurant has four chefs. One is American, one is Indian, one is Mexican, and one is Italian. I also have a Barista that serves sodas. They have CPU customers that come to your restaurant. My waiter and waitress serve them. Currently my restaurant is rated 3.3 stars by the CPU’s.

Those are my favorite games on Roblox  

Anna and Paige Chapter 2 Paige by #amy8

Hey… so I guess you’re my journal now, so I should probably write something. Oh whoops! That probably sounded rude, and considering that by the end of the year you will know all of my secrets I think I should be nice to you. Also by the way my name is Paige.

I just want to let you know how and why I got you. So my best friend noticed that all of the other girls at school had a journal. Keep in mind we have always wanted to hang out with them. So we were not going to change how we look, nor our personalities. So what was one thing we could change? The fact that we didn’t have a journal. SO that’s why you wound up in my house! Interesting huh?

Anyways I’m going to have to tell you a secret sometime now. I think Anna wants to hang out with the other girls now. Personally I think they're really anything now. I mean I already have Anna as my best friend. At least I hope I do. Whenever she tries to hang out with them she’s like a third wheel, and I don’t want that for her.

Anyways I’ve gotta get ready for soccer practice now. I’ll update you later!

Funko Pops I Want Most by #luke6

I will be talking about the Funko Pops I want the most. My birthday is coming up, and I hope to get one of these. If you don’t know what a Funko Pop is, it is a type of collectable figure with large black eyes and traditionally no mouth. The have many characters such as Disney, DC, Marvel, Harry Potter, ect.

3. Flocked Chip and Dle-$45.00

I don’t know about you, but I love old cartoons. Some of my favorite characters are Chip and Dale . Since these are flocked that means they are furry. So these are like the actual Chip and Dale, in terms of realness and size.

2. Giant Hedwig-$30.00

Now, I went shopping the other day and I found a GIANT Hedwig. This is two of my favorite things in one: Harry Potter and Funko Pops. Not to mention it is the size of the actual Hedwig. If I had this in my collection, it would definitely be one of my favorites.

1. Splash Mountain-$30.00

 This is the Funko Pop I want the most. If you’ve ever been to Disney, you know this ride is awesome. But now you can have a figure of Be’re Bear and Be’re Rabbit riding this magnificent ride. I really hope to get this figure, so I have two great characters on a great ride

The Four Seasons by #jack11

Winter

This is my favorite season because I love making tunnels in the snow when there's a humongous blizzard. I also go sledding, and play in the snow, and make snowmen. This year I went sledding at a very steep hill, I wiped out in the middle of the hill, and somebody crashed into me. I went back to the car, and then we left because my arm was hurting.

Spring

Spring is a beautiful season when all the flowers are out of the ground. There’s a flower named after my mom called a “Scilla” . I like spring because of Easter. You get to find all the hidden eggs. I so like spring because my grandma makes fresh asparagus.

Summer

Summer is my least favorite season because I get stung a lot by bees. I like to go on my grandpa’s boat and go swimming in the Connecticut River and in Long Island Sound. I go to summer camp, and I get to have pizza every Friday.

Autumn

I love fall because I get to play and jump in the leaves. When I jump in the leaves I get all itchy because the leaves go down my back.

What is your favorite season? Mine is winter.
