Okay, she might look a little old on the outside but inside she is just as young as you! 83 year old queen Elizabeth does the same exact stuff as you do - except for being a queen. She texts, has her own Youtube channel, and also broadcasts her Christmas speech! She launched the "Royal Channel" on Youtube also. She did not start using the computer until about three years ago. The queen is in the news again but for this time sending out emails! There has been rumors that Prince Harry taught her how to text message. But if that’s not enough, President Obama and the First Lady had just given her an I-pod!
I think it’s cool that even though Queen Elizabeth is in her 80’s that she still texts, emails, and posts thing on Youtube and now has an I-pod!

One Crazy Day (WP)

Have you ever had a crazy day before? Not CRAZY, crazy. If you don’t get it, maybe this story will help you get it.
My friend TapGirl and I were getting out of Choir. We went to pick up my next door neighbor at the main office. I had to pick up my neighbor and TapGirls’s mom and my mom were having a meeting with our principal Ms.Amon about the 5th grade graduation. So TapGirl and I and my neighbor sat down waiting for my mom and her mom. When our parents finally came out, I said goodbye to TapGirl. We drove home and I dropped off my neighbor. My brother came out because we had to drive him to his baseball game in the Bronx, which is about a 20 minute ride from where I live. We drove my brother to the game. No one is there. We drive around looking for someone. No one from his team was there still. My mom brought the schedule with her so she checked the time. It got changed to 5:15. We thought it was 4:15. So my brother says, "Why we don’t go home" because he forgot his cleats. We went home and he got his cleats. We went back. And guess what? No one was there. So we drive around for about 15 minutes. Still no one was there. My brother brought his I-pod Touch with him and it gets Internet. He checked my mom’s email. The game got canceled! We got dinner and went back home. Then we had to drive my brother to hockey tryouts. We dropped him of, and me and my mom got back. We had a message on the answering machine. My mom checked it. It was my brother. He said that when he got there his team was already on the ice! So we went to pick him up. And that was our crazy day!

(Boat honks)
Holly: We’re stuck on an island!
Molly: I can’t believe dad did this to us.
Holly: Without any credit cards or cell phones and no clothes except the ones we have on.
Molly: We’re going to be stuck here forever!
Holly: AHHHHHHHHHHHH=http://=http://=http://=http://
Molly: Oh my gosh…I’m starving!!!!
Holly: I’m starving too. Where are the restaurants?
Molly: And the mall?
(Two minutes pass.)
Holly: Molly, how long have we been walking?
Molly: I don’t know, but it feels like forever.
Holly: Look, there’s a guy.
Molly: Maybe he knows how we can get back to New York City.
Holly: Let’s go ask him.
(Walks toward native guy.)
Molly: Hey, guy over there!
Holly: Where’s the airport? And when’s the next flight to New York City?
(He stares at us.)
Native Guy: ungha.
Molly: Holly, I don’t think this guy speaks English.
Holly: Me neither, but I think we need to translate.
Molly: Okay, but how?
Holly: Um…maybe we can act it out?
Molly: Okay, but I bet you this guy doesn’t have a clue about New York City.
Holly: Well, it’s worth a try.
(Molly and Holly act out going on a plane to New York City and what New York City looks like.)
Molly: Uh, this will never work.
Native guy (pointing to the trees): shakika unga ziku
Holly: Do you speak English?
Native Guy: Yeah.
Molly: Holly, can you believe this?
Holly: No, I don’t.
Native Guy: I think you two just missed your flight to New York City. There won’t be another one until next year.
Molly And Holly: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

The Simpsons Clam Finally Gets Some Respect (N)

Everybody knows the Simpsons. They’ve been around for about 20 years now. Well, now they are getting the respect they finally deserve! You’ve seen their faces on your television, and now you are going to start seeing them on your stamps! Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie are going to be on your stamps (if you want to buy them). The Simpsons made the cut this year because they are the longest running television show. In addition, the post office won’t be just selling Simpsons' stamps, they will be selling Simpsons' post cards too. They will also be selling other Simpsons' things like a matted poster of each one of them a matted poster of all of them too. The USPS is asking customers to vote on which Simpsons' stamp they like the best. When you think they can’t add anymore, they do! They will also ask you if you want to enter a free sweepstakes to win limited design posters signed by the creator of the Simpsons, Matt Groening.
I think it’s really cool that I saw their faces on the television and now I will see their faces on stamps. I really want to buy them. I can’t wait!

My First Softball Game (WP)

Tuesday I had my first softball game. My dad is one of the coaches. It was SO cold outside, and it kept drizzling. But we still played. My team is a lot of fun to hang around with. No matter what we're doing, either out on the field or waiting to bat, we're always having a good time with each other. Even though it was my first softball game, I was having a lot of fun.
We didn’t get to finish the whole entire game because it got dark out. We still need to finish it. But when we stopped the game, we were winning 10-5.
The first time I got up to bat I struck out, but the second time I got up I got a foul call. (It could have been a hit but it just went outside of third base.) Then I got a walk.
The positions I played were second base two times and outfield once. Once when we finish the game I think I’m playing outfield and shortstop.
Softball is one of my favorite sports to play. It’s a lot of fun to play!

Go and Put Some Sal's Pizza In Your Stomach! (A)

Have you ever been to Sal’s pizza? When you enter that door you can just smell the cheesy pizza and pizza being made. You should go to Sal’s pizza.
To start with, Sal’s pizza is usually crowded. That means the pizza must be good. What’s so good about that? Well, you don’t want a restaurant that no people go to and it’s empty all the time. That must mean that the pizza is NOT good.
Another reason is they added on an Italian ices and gelatos place. Why is that such a big deal? It’s a big deal because maybe after pizza you could get an Italian ice or gelato as a dessert. Yeah, just the pizza by itself is good, but now you could get a dessert after!
And the biggest reason is it’s the only one of its kind. It’s only in Mamaroneck! One Sal’s pizza! Not a bunch like McDonalds, Burger King, and all that stuff. The only place where you can find Sal’s pizza is on Mamaroneck Avenue!
If you want to have fun and eat something good, go to Sal’s, get a pizza, and eat it!

Spectacular sandtorm (N)

Have you ever seen a sandstorm? Or even heard of what a sandstorm is? Well, sandstorms are when wind picks up the sand in the desert and carries it around. This was one of the biggest sandstorms the area has seen in decades! Both places had to shut down airports and schools and advised people to stay indoors.
“The storm came in so rapidly, that traffic halted to stop as drivers struggled to see the road ahead." When the storm ended, the places were covered with sand, and the bright blue sky turned to an orange color.
I would be so scared if I lived there. I have never seen a sandstorm, and I don’t think I will ever want to see one.

D.A.R.E Report (A)

I have learned a lot in the D.A.R.E program this year. This was the first year I have ever had D.A.R.E, which stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education .The D.A.R.E program is to help you make good decisions and to learn about the safety of drugs. I have learned to make healthy choices and wise decisions from the D.A.R.E program.
I have also learned about how dangerous smoking, drinking, tobacco, and other types of drugs can be and how much it can affect your body. For example, you can get types of cancer from smoking. One type is lung cancer. Drinking can affect how your body acts and works. If you are over the age of 21 you are allowed to have alcohol. Also, if you are over the age of 21 and you can have beer, you should be careful not to have too much because it can still affect you. If you are under the age of 21, it will affect you more if you have beer. Marijuana can be dangerous too. Some affects are short term memory loss, loss of ability to concentrate, and slow coordination and reflexes.
I have had a lot of good times in D.A.R.E thanks to Officer DiRuzza. She was a great D.A.R.E officer. For future students who will have her next year you will think she is great!!
I will make a commitment to never use drugs the wrong way and to never smoke.
