Hi Everyone!
Well we had a Literature and Language assignment today so I thought I would post it on the blog. FYI: We're reading Chasing Vermeer. My paper is about curiosity because Calder and Petra (main characters) are very curious on what goes on around them. Also for you 4th graders that's what you will be reading in 6th grade so check it out.
Here it is:
Being curious has its cause and effects. Many times curiosity ends up ruining the surprise or finding out a secret. But it can end up positively. For example, if you listen to a conversation, you could find out your friends are hosting a surprise party. Then the surprise would be ruined. But if you find out someone has been cheating on his or her tests then that ends up positively, ending their cheating habits. But in some cases, being curious can endanger your life or cause injuries. On the on other hand, you could become the hero. You could stumble into the “enemies” hideout and save the day.
Being curious can also help you. You could find out something no one else knows or even gain the ability to find thing out on your own. Find answers can be negative or positive. On one hand, you could find out why you didn’t get any birthday presents. But on the other hand, you could find out that Abraham Lincoln wasn’t actually a president.
Curiosity can also be negative. Instead of finding out that Abraham Lincoln wasn’t a president you might find out how unintelligent you really are. You might do something really “not smart” and embarrass yourself. Or you might find out that a room with an “Employees Only” sign is only for employees.
As you can see there are many results of being curious. Make sure you know what might come in the future before you do something.

Do you ever miss something?...
Well when I'm at school (the middle school) I'm thinking back to the old days at Richards. How much i missed the old memories that were created there! I have had so many memories created with friends there on the playground, in the classrooms.
Now I will have to move on and leave the past behind or at least in the back of mind. Time to move forward, create new memories here at a new school (wfb middle school)!!!!
Create memories while you can!!

Book Review on Smiles to Go

Do you want to read an exciting, interesting book? Then read Smiles to go by the award winning author, Jerry Spinnelli.
Smiles to go is about a science nerd named Will Tuppence who finds out about a death of a proton and is worried that in tons of years the world will vanish. The characters are Will Tuppence (the main character), BT and Mi Sue (Will’s two best friends), Tabby Tuppence (Will’s annoying sister who learns a lesson in the end), Mr. and Mrs. Tuppence (Will’s parents), and Korbet (a kid that has a crush on Tabby).
I think that you should read this book because it might teach you a little bit about science. It also is funny and easy to understand as you read on. The main reason I want you to read this book because it has good word choice and lots of voice.
I recommend this book for ages 10-up so you could understand the parts. If you are having trouble finding out what PD means in the book, it means the days since the proton died. I hope you get and enjoy this wonderful book!
Smiles Away the Sequel of Smiles to Go (you will understand it better if you read the book first!)
I remember when I was in third grade, sitting on a hospital bed and glaring down at my great-grandpa Will Tuppence who was going to die a minute later. His last words to me were,” try to save protons, I’ll be looking down at you”. I asked, “What is a proton”, but it was too late. So I’ve been trying to save them ever since.
I am in ninth grade now and me and my friend, Jimmy Jones were convincing people to be careful with protons. Some people came up and took our homemade flyers to help the environment. Lots of things have disappeared since Grandpa Will was a kid. Will thought that many more years from now more protons would die. He was right.
Jimmy asked me I wanted if I wanted a soda but I was okay. Curtis is the best friend ever and will always be. “Could I come over tonight”, Jimmy asked.”I really want to play your new video game.” “Sure, you could do or play whatever you want to.” Jimmy is my only friend so I want to be a cooler type of kid. After school, Curtis was coming over and we were going to hang out and make posters about saving protons.
Jimmy and worked on the posters and they looked pretty cool! I thought they would attract people to be more careful with things.”Hey, do you want to Monopoly?””Sure”, I replied with a little smile. I always beat Jimmy in monopoly because he always runs out of money in the end. I ended up winning in a close duel for money!
... To be continued!!

So yes. In games 1 and 2 the Phillies and Yankees split the series 1 game to 1 game. But in game 3 at Citizens Bay Park, the Yankees overtook the Phillies 8 to 5. In the 4th game also the Phillies lost again 7 to 4. But right now live in the bottom of the 4th inning, the Phillies are winning 6 to 1. So that's you live World Series update!
P.S. Thanks Ms. Kreul for still letting me put my articles up. They're really fun to write. :)

Well, today (Oct. 30) The Yankees and the Phillies are tied 1 game to 1 game. The Phillies won the first game C.C. Sabathia (Yankees) lost to Cliff Lee (Phillies) 6 to 1. But in game 2 A.J. Burnett (Yankees) stuck back with a 3 to 1 win over Pedro Martinez (Phillies). After 2 quick games in Yankee Stadium, they head to Citizens Bay Park to play 3 games there. But they do not start until Saturday night so enjoy watching the game on Halloween Night at 8:00 ET, 7:00 CT.

Weekly Book Review on Oggie Cooder By JP
Do you want to read a hilarious book that no other book has? Then read Oggie Cooder by Sarah Weeks.
The story is about a boy named Oggie who transforms from a dumb average kid, to a famous well known charving champion. Charving is carving cheese with your teeth. The characters are Oggie (charving champion), Donnica Perfecto (a mean bully who is on Oggie’s case), Oggie’s mom, Oggie’s dad, Oggie’s loving dog Turk, and much more funny characters.
Oggie sometimes gets bullied or teased, but his teacher really likes him. Oggie is also smart, but he doesn’t have any friends when he should. There are three reasons why you should get this book. The first reason you should is that the book is that it is very funny. The second reason is that the book is fun and easy to read. Last but not least, this book has great word choice and you’ll love it. I recommend this book for kids 8 and up.
If you are thinking about getting this book you have made a great choice. So if you want to read this great funny book, buy it in the store. Trust me, you’ll love the book.
Weekly poem
By JP
What if I will become a famous basketball player?
I might be a pitcher in the mlb
What if there could be healthy food that tastes like chocolate?
I could always be a quarterback on the Packers
What if I could fly in the air to get exercise?
I would be outside all day flying in the fabulous sky
What if you could have a homework machine to do your homework for you?
Weekly News By JP
On October fourth through tenth, people and kids are trying to stop bullies once and for all. Nobody likes getting bullied, right. Name-calling, pushing or hitting, or leaving out other kids, are examples of bullying. Cyberbullying is when bullies send mean text messages or e-mails over and over again.
Schools say that bullying happens every week. That has to be tough for the kid getting bullied. Four states have serious laws about bad bullying. Some good schools, like mine have bully rules that if you break, you might get expelled from school.
A really big earthquake hit the western part of Indonesia last Wednesday. There were sparking fares, falling buildings, and streets that were destroyed. The next day, another earth quake hit Southeast Asia island nation. It caused more damage than it did in Indonesia, but less people got hurt. Another nature incident happened on that Friday. The earthquake shook Samoa islands in the south Pacific. It hit between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa that caused the Tsunami. What is happening and how will this terror stop?
Tons of monarch butterflies migrate from the United States to Mexico every winter. Monarchs can tell by the weather what time of mouth it is just like humans! Monarchs also use antennas on their head to sense light. Researchers are testing butterflies by dipping there antennas in paint. Antennas that had black paint had to be removed. Antennas with clear paint were okay.
Never feed animals in the wild. When humans feed wild animals, that will teach them to stop hunting or looking for food on there own.

Well…My “Summer Fun” is so much better than your “Summer Fun”. I know a few of Ms. Kreul’s students play minors in the Little League. I’m in Majors on the Cubs.
Well the Cubs were last place in the regular season. In the play-offs though, we had a HUGE start. First to the White Sox, but the play-offs are double elimination. Then we played the Braves, who are in 4th. Oh and there are 10 teams so the Cubs are in 10th place, or we’re in 10th place. We played the Braves (who are 4th) and won. Then we played the Yankees (who are 8th) and won. THEN we played the Phillies (who are 3rd) and WON!!! THEN we played the White Sox (who are 7th) and won. Then we played the Pirates (who are 2nd) and WON!!!! But in the 7th inning, (we only play 6 innings but we were tied in the 6th 10-10) the bases were loaded (people on first, second, and third) 2 outs, and guess who was up. Me. There were 2 strikes. And guess what happened. I hit a double to center!!! We were winning 12-10, but the Pirates still had 1 more at bat. The first guy got a single. So I was kind of nervous. But then the pitcher got the next 3 guys out. We won!
So…it ends up that 1st place (the Dodgers) and last place (us; the Cubs) play each other in the championship game on Saturday. Wish me luck!!!
