Thanks to the win against the Seahawks and the Giants losing, the Packers clinched the Wild Card, so they are in the Play-offs. I'm not sure if the Cowboys have the Wild Card also, but they are close. Good luck in the play-offs Packers!!!
(Thanks Ms. Kreul for helping me get back on!!!)
Go Pack Go!!!

After a nice win against the Ravens, that Packers stand 8 and 4. They have a game against the Bears on Sunday. It will be important to win. Since the Vikings are almost guaranteed to win the division, the Packers have to get the Wild Card. Right now we are tied with the Eagles and trailing closely behind is the Giants. So we have the Wild Card right now but we need to stay ahead of the Giants. Go Pack Go!

Our class just got done reading fantastic stories in lit circles. All these stories had one subject; the characters in the books all faced some challenges.
Our group read Bridge to Terabithia and I am going to write a book review on it very soon. These are all of the books that were chosen to be read.
.Bridge to Terabithia
.My Side of the mountain
.Maniac Magee
.Under the Blood Red sun
.The Penderwicks
.Hoot
I am on a mission to read all of the books I haven’t read out of the choices.

Literature and Language Assignment

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.
