THE R WORD

Article posted March 6, 2013 at 04:03 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 61

I think that the R word is very unkind. I think it is very offensive and rude because I have an autistic brother who cant talk. And when he goes out with my family to the movies I hear people always calling him the R word and I don't think that that is very nice even know he cant talk that does not mean he does not have feelings. So I think that our school should put up posters saying that the R word is not funny to say. And if any one catches you saying it you have to wright a note that says that you are sorry and wont say that word Again to the person you said it to.

DOUBLE IDENTITY REVIEW

Article posted February 22, 2013 at 09:08 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 27

As a class we read Double Identity And this is my review.

In the book Double Identity there was a 12 year old girl named Betheny who got droped off at her Antie Myrlies house she never knew she had and her Antie Myrlie did not know she had a niece.and Myrlies dauhgter did not know she had a cousin a real living cousin that is.



I think this book had a lot of real life facts in it.I also love this book because both of the main caracters(Elizebeth & Bethany) do the same sports as me. Elizebeth does gymnastics and i used to and Bethany does swimming just like me.So I relate to these Caracters very well from personal experience.


I love this book because it has so many cool twists and turns.My favorite part of the book was when Bethany got the package from her dad (the last time she heard from her dad)


I would strongly reccommend this book to everyone because it has so many twist and turns. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves mysteries,suprises,and drama .Even if you just like one of those things you would love this book it has lots of all of those things. I would totaly read this book again if I could.

THE FUN THEORY

Article posted November 1, 2012 at 09:59 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 125

(1) I think the piano stairs was my favorite video cause they actually make noise!!!I even saw a man that looked 85 and he was using the stairs!!!And the escalator was right next to the stairs that was a very smart idea=http://

(2) I think that all of the ideas would work because they found a way to make arcade games into things that help us in many ways. Like the speeding thing that was very smart. so was the seat belt video because they will help prevent car accidents.

(3) I think that they should do something that you put in a quarter and there is a video camera. You eat as many veggies as you can and try to get a high score I think that would make people eat veggies instead of junk food.

animal testing

Article posted October 24, 2012 at 04:41 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 81

I think animal testing is wrong because animals deserve to like like we do! Animals are not meant to be tested on cosmetics! Animals die from being tested or the vets kill them because after.If i found out i was using a product that animals get tested on i would throw the product out and buy a product that is animal testing free!!that is why I think animal testing is wrong!!

TERRY FOX

Article posted October 17, 2012 at 04:56 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 75

What I learned today that I did not know was that he ran 3339 miles in 143 days. I thought he ran like 200 miles. I also did not know that he raised $241400 while he was running. I think terry fox life made an impact in the world because he risked his life for others.

Yes I think terry fox is a hero because my Nana had cancer and she is still alive and she 90 years old and my Antie had cancer she loved terry fox but she past away last year because of cancer. I admire about terry fox is that he believes and never gave up R.I.P terry fox.
