System
The human circulatory system consists of the blood vessels, muscles and organs that help control the blood flow of the blood and lymph around the body. It is collective composed of the cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system with the heart, arteries, capillaries and the veins of the blood being the main part. The circulatory system moves nutrients, gases, and wastes to and from cells.
It is called the circulatory system, because it involves the circulation of fluids in the body.
It is divided into three different parts

Vessels
The blood is an amazing substance that is constantly flowing throws our bodies. Your blood is pumped by the heart. Your blood travels through thousands of miles of blood vessels right within your own body. A young person has about of a gallon of blood.
Sickle cell Anemia blocks a person’s blood flow, by making kind of a blood cell into a blade. All of the blades get stuck together in a blood vessel and other parts. It gets stuck there and stops the flow of the blood to other body parts. These disease tureens’ your skin and the whites of your eye to become dark yellow. This is called jaundice Jaundice may give you severe pain in your chest, stomach, legs and other parts of the body.

I was just reading. I learned that Josh was in a basketball meeting and he wanted to be chosen to play for all the match. When the coach was speaking to the whole team he was saying that they are going to play a match with a lot of passing and shooting. When the coach was speaking Josh was wondering when the coach was going to announce the people that are going to play. Then finally when the coach was going to announce the people, Josh's new mother came in and asked him when he was going to finish practice. That time Josh was going to die because he wanted the answers. The coach said finally you are going to play but when Magik comes you are going to be sub because Magik is at her grandma's funeral.

These are for 3 chapters
I was just reading with my mom in a book called Narnia. I just knew that they were sailing in a ship and inside the ship was a king giving a speech. The next day when he wanted to give another speech he was not there. Matt wanted to know how this happened. So that day Matt and his friends went flying on a eagle ad going to every house and looking in the houses if the king was there.
When they were flying the eagle saw a bunch of eagles stuck together. The eagle went to Matt and told him, "I'm going to tell you where the king is." Then they took him. When he was there in the castle the king wasn't there. Matt thought and he knew where he is in the boat. When Matt was there he saw the king getting smashed up from the eagles.

Title: The Haunted Mask
When Matt and his friends were in the park they were running, because they were being chased by a dog. Suddenly, they saw a shadow in front of them, holding a fake head that looked like the head of his friend. However, this could not be real, because his friend was standing right next to him! It had to be a fake head!
They were so scared of the shadow that they kept on running. As they were running, Matt tripped and the shadow got hold of Matt and took his powers. Matt’s powers were important, because he was able to shoot bullets without a gun and he could fly.
They could not do a thing, so they decided to run as fast as they can away from the shadow. They did not know that ahead of them was The Living Dummy. The Living Dummy, or better known as the menace, was standing there in front of them. The menace took them all to his Tower of Evil.
When the menace introduced himself to Matt and his friends, he turned around and showed them his two heads, that was not all the chairs extended their arms and captured Matt and his friends.
However, there was a malfunction in the arms and they could break away from them. They left the tower, and just as they thought they were free they ran into all ten of their enemies. Their enemies were, Slappy, Old Ben, One Leg, The Haunted Mask, Doctor Maniac, King Thontar, The Monster Blood and The Mummy of the Haunted House.

I just read a story about a girl that didn't want to go to Halloween and she told her mother not to make her a costume. Her mom said’ “Okay’ but think about it". When it was Halloween, she thought of not going but then she said,”No! I’m going to go.” She went to her closet to find a costume, but she didn't find anything she liked. Suddenly she found an old hat and gloves that looked so suspicious, she’s never seen them before, but who cares! She wore them and she left for trick or treating. When she was about to finish her round, she checked her bag, and saw that it was almost full of candy. She decided to go to one more house, in her mind that will be enough to fill the whole thing. She headed towards the house, knocked on the door and there a girl stood in front of her and asked, “What are you supposed to be? “ The girl replied, “ A bag lady.” The girl gave her the candy and she went running back to her house to eat it all. She arrived at her house, ate all the candy and went to sleep.

Title Weekend in Faraya
Today is Saturday and I am in to Faraya. We are going to sleep here. It is so amazing, because there is a lot of snow and that means we can ski and snowboard, as much as, we want. When we went to the slopes, we skied and I almost slipped like twenty times. That was way too much, so the last time I slipped, I gave up and I went back to where my mom and dad were sitting. Then the family and I went back to the hotel and eat. The food was good, but the best thing was the pasta. That was dinner. We finished dinner and went to see the bedrooms.
They were amazing! We got two rooms, one for my mom and dad and one for my sisters and I. The two rooms had connecting doors, so we could see each other from them. We stayed in the bedroom and watched TV and then we slept.
The next morning we went to eat breakfast. We ate eggs, yogurt, waffles and pancakes. When we finished, my sister Lana and I tried to ski, but we kept on falling. However, my other sister, Neemat was a pro... When we finished we went back to Beirut.

I just read that Frank was in the dungeon and he found his friend Kate. Then they both made plans to get out of the dungeon. The plan was to break the door and get out, but that was stupid because the door was wood covered with metal. Not only that, but there were also, guards standing outside the door. When they went next to the door, there was a real head cut off and a sign saying "Beware".

Owls in The Family

One shiny morning Bruce was in the desert looking for a pet owl. In this country, pet owls are very nice and rare. He knew a lot about owls, including that an owl would be an excellent addition to the many animals who lived in his own mini-zoo.
Bruce talked to his friend about going an a hunt for an owl. The friends were excited to be invited to join this owl adventure. The boys made a plan to start out early in the morning to capture an owl. It took a couple of days of hiking through the forest until they found a nest for the owl in a tall, crooked tree with only a few branches below the nest. Even though the nest was way up in the tree, the owl looked like it would probably not be easy to catch, but Bruce gathered his courage and climbed the tree. After a bit of a struggle with the owl, he got the owl. He grabbed the owl's flapping wings and shoved it into the leather bag he had carried on his back.
Once the owl was out of the nest, Bruce could see that the owl had been sitting on an egg. He thought if he left the egg in the nest, the owl egg would never hatch. He decided he couldn't leave the egg to get cold and kill the baby bird inside. He put the owl and the egg carefully down the tree.
Then, without any warning, Bruce fell out of out of tree and the egg seemed to jump from this hands, fall to the ground and broke. Bruce picked himself up and checked to see he hadn't broken any bones or cut himself, then stood staring at the broken egg. He felt sad but there was nothing he could do. The egg was broken and he would just have to leave it on the forest floor. He knew soon the crows would arrive and feast on the egg.
Before Bruce and his friends got out of sight of the tree, they saw the crows flying over the owl nest. Their loud screeching let the boys know that the crows were celebrating finding the egg and would be chowing down on it soon.
After about an hours hike out of the forest, the owl in the bag on Bruce's back was feeling pretty heavy. Bruce's friend helped Bruce take the leather bag off his bag and set it on the ground. The boys sat down under a tree to rest a bit. They had not realized how tired they had become. Soon they were both asleep. They didn't see that the owl had worked his way out of the bag and was getting away. A crow screeching woke the boys up to find the leather bag empty. They were so disappointed, they decided the only thing to do was to go back home tonight and set out early tomorrow and start their hunt, again.
Even though they had felt so bad about losing the owl,on their hike home they began talking about the adventures they could have when they grew up. That led them pretending to be Arab people who had been wandering in the desert for days and now were searching for water. They went over the top of the hill that led down to Bruce's house. They heard Bruce's mom ringing the bell for supper so their imaginary wanderings came to a stop, as they both raced down the hill to see what was cooking on the stove.

Today I was sitting with my mom reading about Narnia. I just found out, that Edmond went to Narnia. He talked with the witch; the witch told him that he needed to bring his friends and if he does, he will become a prince. Of course, she was lying. The witch even gave him his favorite food in the world. It was hot chicken.
Edmund came back to the real world and found out that his friends were saying the truth about Narnia. His friends finally told the professor, that there is such a thing as a world called Narnia and they could get to Narnia from the house. The professor told them that he knew about the world called Narnia and that the evil witch lives there. He told them that it is their quest to win war between the White witch and the Narnians. The kids wanted to follow the quest and went to battle.

Grade 3A students would like to share the information that was provided by the New York Zoos and Aquarium website about their “wild self” animal characteristics. Each child designed his/her wild self and has taken that name as their Class Blogmeister user name. Welcome to the world of blogging!
Red spitting cobra hood - Your red spitting cobra hood is spread open because that makes you look bigger and more threatening. That'll help you scare off other bully animals.
Red river hog ears - Your red river hog ears have long black and white tassels. They can fluff out as a defense mechanism to make you look bigger and intimidate predators.
Anaconda snake tongue - Now you can smell with your tongue! Your forked anaconda tongue collects odor molecules from the air and brings them back to tiny grooves in the roof of your mouth, letting you "taste" the air.
Siberian tiger paws - It's no fun getting stuck in the snow. That's why your Siberian tiger paws are extra large. They work just like snowshoes and prevent you from sinking.
Rodrigues bat wings - Your Rodrigues bat wings are very different from bird wings. Bird wings are made like human arm bones. But your bat wings are more like really long fingers. Creepy long fingers!
Madagascar Tree Boa Tail - Despite the name, Tree Boas spend most of their time on the ground. They only go into trees when there's a storm or if they're hunting for food.
