What's Up?

Life is pretty boring right now 'cause I have NOTHING TO DO!! I read books and played video games and now I'm officially bored. I might have some fun in my Chinese summer school after 4:00 or 4:30 we get to play in the gym until our parents come. So I'm just waiting until Thursday.

Moving On

Article posted June 22, 2010 at 02:54 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 1285

Bye! I'm going to miss fourth grade like CRAZY! I'm excited about moving on to fifth grade, but I don't think it'll be as fun as fourth grade though. I wish we could've made another music video. I don't think we'll be able to make a music video in fifth grade.So all in all, I don't want to leave the fun sanctuary of fourth grade, but we have to move on. *Sobs*.

My Declaration of Independence!

Article posted May 14, 2010 at 02:11 AM GMT0 • comment • Reads 1431

If I were sitting next to Thomas Jefferson,Benjamin Franklin,and the other members of the Congress and I was the one who was chosen to write it,I would write this.

Dear King George,
Your rule over us will now end.You have been unfair to the us and we demand freedom.We members of the Congress are angry about your unfair taxes of tea and sugar.We demand freedom from Parliament and want no taxation on our tea or sugar.With all due respect,we think your taxation laws are a bit unreasonable and we think you should put a stop to it.This is all we want from you and I sincerely think you should think about our suggestions.

Sincerely,
The members of the Congress

I think I would be brave to sign the declaration because I wouldn't care about the king tracking me down.I also wouldn't want the other members of the Congress to think of me as a coward,the person who wrote the Declaration of Independence!

NY State ELA BLOG

My advice for next year's fourth grade students are,be confident,try their best,and don't rush.Try to use context clues if they have a question of what a word means.NEVER leave an answer blank and don't care about time.


A suggestion for a name for our new person from me is "Li'l Boy George the 13th".

I had an argument with someone back at my old neighborhood about RuneScape wasn't such a good game.I knew I was so right because I tried it out,but I didn't like it.I tried to convince him that some other games were better.He said It was his own opinion and then we just about forgot about it. :)

I think I'm like Eddie because I'm very forgetful.For example, I'm supposed to take home my trumpet to practice but I always forget.In the book Eddie forgot to tell Pickles to go to Salem's house.

My Writing BLOG

Article posted April 9, 2010 at 02:21 AM GMT0 • comment • Reads 1476

It takes concentration,an open mind,and a really good imagination to be a writer(well,by my standards at least.)Someone could learn to become a stronger writer by..really working hard and try your best.My advice for students that are frustrated when trying to write are take deep breaths to get the frustration out and don't do what I usually do when I'm frustrated(blow my top off and pull my hair out.):/ What I most admire about professional writers and authors is there creative writing and use of there sense of humor,I think.

I feel really excited about using the Wiki for our PSAs!I think we should show our PSAs to other classes in the school when we're done with them.I feel this project will be awesome and it's a time for us to enjoy ourselves again with videos and us in them.I don't really hope to accomplish anything.I want to learn how to make a video with the camera and stuff,but that's not going to happen I think.I think we could also use the Wiki for new music videos if we have the time.

What a Week!

Article posted March 9, 2010 at 01:02 AM GMT0 • comment • Reads 1554

I think that learning about that Indians being outlaws I guess,because it tells us that the English feared the Indians.I would tell them about what men and women can be.Men can be hunters and women can be ... I don't know what to call it,but I'll call it "mother"?I do recommend this experience to be back to Searingtown School because of the funny story Wayon or I think,Uaan told to us.;D
Nothing really stood out in my head from Robert Kimmel Smith's visit.My favorite part of his visit was when he started true stories about how he got terrific stories like Jelly Bell,Bobby Baseball,Chocolate Fever,and some more.I would like to ask him a question if he visits again and this is it,"How did you get your enthusiasm to become a writer from?" Do you like it?:/

I think the Long Island Philharmonic was great at playing their instruments and they had a nice sound.My favorite part was when the mule came out on stage because it was kinda funny in the beginning.If I were asked to say one sentence to describe my experience it would be like "It was the most musical experience of my life." because there was a lot of music in it and I really enjoyed the flowing music.Well,t-t-t-t-that's all folks.(It's from the pig at the end of a Disney movie with the original Toon Town characters.)Do any of you know that?

The Electricity BLOG

Article posted February 25, 2010 at 02:26 AM GMT0 • comment • Reads 1391

I don't think we depend on electricity too much because we're using electricity for living and we're also good with electricity by conserving it.If we didn't have electricity i don't know what life would be like!I know it would be very dark by like six o'clock.We would also could not use computers. -_- Well what I'm saying is that life would stink if we didn't have electricity.If I were an inventor I would invent a voice-activated music player and it would run on... well actually it just turns on when you say it to start so it would run on your voice? It would be cool if that was real and because your not wasting anything! ;)

I'm a Gunsmith!What are You?

Article posted February 9, 2010 at 12:39 AM GMT0 • comment (1) • Reads 1698

I think a Gunsmith would be the best trade for me because I would like to learn the three main parts of a gun,and I learn fast.So,once I learn how to repair a gun and I'll be gladly to repair guns or make a gun for the father of a family to use for protection and hunting.That would be helping people and I like that so I think Gunsmith would be the best trade for me.

A way I would like to improve myself is to do better at sports,try to calm my rather harsh temper ,and to try not to slap my head when people who are learning get a question wrong.To prove that I want it enough,I'm not sure how to do that,but I'll try my best,I hope.=If I were a bunk mate of Ned I would tell him to play some more sports and to have fun.
Does anybody have any advice on how to calm a big temper?

Another Music Video Please!

My favorite part was the end of the video because it felt like we were going out of Earth which i think made a perfect ending.Our next project should be another Music Video because I like music!Woot!Any kind of song would be cool with me,as long as I like it.>.< Just kidding!I think we should do it soon because I can hardly wait for it!I think we should make another song cover about anything?(I don't really care,but I would like to do a hip-hop cover.) :0

Shocking Blog

Article posted January 12, 2010 at 01:07 AM GMT0 • comment (1) • Reads 1565

I learned that you should never pull something out of an outlet from its cord and then do it the correct way the next time because you'll be in for a shocking experience!I also learned electricity wants to find a way to get to the ground-mainly through us.I think the presentation was cool because of the cool effects it made,and it was funny because of the model people getting shocked.Actually,I shouldn't say that because that could have been me!I could make a poster that says "Here's a shocking experience!"and people will get interested and read the information on the poster?It's just a suggestion.

Garvies Point BLOG

Article posted December 15, 2009 at 12:33 AM GMT0 • comment (1) • Reads 1572

My favorite part of Garvies Point Museum was the scavenger hunt in the corridor filled with Iroquois Indian facts and other nick-knacks.Maybe it was because it was fun and educational at the same time or something else.Yes,I do recommend this trip to soon-to-be 4th graders because this was an exciting and fun trip.This was a fun trip because of the scavenger hunt,the pottery activity,and you can sit in the dugout canoe(Not in the outside!)

Is James Renewable?

My family recycles soda bottles,water bottles,soda cans,and paper.My family doesn't have any recycling plans in particular,but we just recycle and recycle and then...well I don't know what my family does with it afterward.Anyway,one way to stop pollution is to rely on electric engines(meaning cars and buses that run on electricity)and stop smoking that pollutes the air.Another way is to start using spray cans without,I repeat,WITHOUT dangerous chemicals that harms the ozone-layer.

AHHHH! Report Cards

Article posted December 2, 2009 at 02:18 AM GMT0 • comment • Reads 1615

I think my year will go smoothly and I hope it won't be anything but smooth.If I were a teacher,I would grade myself a 4 on math,3 on writing,4 on reading,3 on science,and 4 on social studies.I think I could do better at science and writing by a lot.
I think I could do better at writing is by writing stories and trying to find any mistakes and correct them.I can improve my science by borrowing science books from the library and not listening to Big Bang songs...Tangent!

Thanksgiving was nice and thrilling.We had fun and went to one of my parent's,friend's house.During the evening it was full of cake!That's because it was my mom's b-day.We also had a fruit tart,but I ate very little.(Weird ending isn't it?)

Machu Picchu

Article posted November 10, 2009 at 12:29 AM GMT0 • comment (1) • Reads 1618

I wanted to go to this place for a few minutes because I was researching on some things and came across it.I think it's more special than anywhere else because it's a mountain with a city on it and it was lost for over three centuries,thus making it "ancient history".I want to see it's city because it was built by a very old empire(which I think is gone.)It lies halfway up the Andes Plateau,deep in the Amazon Jungle and above the Urubamba River.I pretty much taught an incomplete lesson... 0_o

Robert Kimmel Smith

Article posted November 3, 2009 at 01:19 AM GMT0 • comment • Reads 1445

I would handle it like an adult like this,I would ask Grandpa if he would switch rooms,but if he says no,I'll get exasperated a little.Next,I would cool down a bit and I'll just have to deal with it,well,you've got to do what you've got to do. I enjoyed *The War With Grandpa* better because I like war(although it's more like their playing tricks on each other. -_-)Yes,I would like to read another book of Robert Kimmel Smith because he has a good sense of humor.I learned from Robert Kimmel Smith about being a writer that you can misspell words on purpose for humor. ^_^

There's this song called "Nobody" and it's nice(my opinion.)Have any of you heard of this song before?Oh yeah, the group that sang this song has the initials W.G. Can any of you guess?I think the korean people in our class might be able to guess what W.G. stands for.Bye-Bye. =P

If I could make a blog assignment it would be something like,What is your favorite song or band and they would have to say why. I would choose it because I like music,I think they would enjoy it because they get to experience with music.

I found out about a show called XXXHolic and it's really good.Basically,it's about a highschool boy who can see spirits and sometimes ther's some trouble when he meets them.Then,he made a wish that he couldn't see spirits to a lady,and he has to work for her in return for the wish to come true.There are more episodes, but this is a summary of the first episode(which is basically the main episode.)Hope you enjoy this!=D

My favorite book so far is Artemis Fowl ,the first book in an exciting series.What makes it so much better than the other books that I've read is,this is an action-packed story with some hilarious lines.In a way I would like to grow as an reader is that I would improve explaining reading comprehensions.

If I could do anything I want in fourth grade using technology, I would create my own music video of Big Bang songs. My biggest challenge in fourth grade might be to remember to bring my art journal. It's not good to be a Internet troll because you could hurt somebody's feelings. Something we can do to prevent Internet trolls, is convince Internet trolls to quit their days of being a troll.
