Judgment and Words
Another day,
Just another day.
Seeing the girls walk in the halls
with their bracelets and bags.
I hear someone call,
"Hey Kate, I like your rags."
Walking along,
head hung down.
Just another day.

Facing the others, with their jewelry and looks.
And me looking awkward,
clutching my books.
Searching for courage,
to face the words.
But being defeated,
again and again.
Just another day.

Judgment and words,
They both entwine,
to grasp and to hold,
all that is mine.

Oh how I wish
that I may be,
away from the words,
that so attack me.
To soar in the sky,
not a worry at all,
To fly with the birds,
that kindly call...

But I end with a sigh,
and then I fall,
back into the world,
where I don't matter at all.
It's just another day.

Using Technology for Teaching Today

Well, I think that the technology is good. We could be using it a bit more freely when teaching and learning, but not very often. We still need to be able to communicate and actually talk face to face with people. But, later on in high school, we should do more with technology then before to prepare us for the world and possible jobs we might want, need, or have. But before high school, no, we do not need to use tons of technology. We need to stay the way we are in elementary school right now. No big computer stuff. They need to learn the basics first. They need a teacher to teach them in a class room setting, not on a computer.

Teachers I get along with

In sixth grade, I had this teacher who was so cool, we got along very well. It was easy to talk to her. My friends and I would stay after school just a couple of extra minutes before leaving because we wanted to talk to her and have have telling jokes and stuff. One day we, (my two friends and I) were cleaning the class room after school. We borrowed a vacuum cleaner from another teacher, well we didn't know how it worked, so when the teacher found the ON button, I had found the button that opens the door thingy to the bag (thinking that it was the ON button), we had pressed these at the same time and the bag exploded. That was fun, it is those kind of experiences that creates a bond between teacher and student.

I have only had one teacher that I didn't get along with, in 7th grade. She was my math teacher. we didn't see eye to eye. We did not have good communication at all. I didn't like it, but I think that having that teacher was a good learning experience for me. It showed me that not all teachers are great. There are some teachers with other ideas and ways of teaching that wouldn't work for me. So, in a way, it is good that we may have some teachers that don't work for us.

Honesty is the Best Policy

Well, it may surprise you, but I like honesty! I try my best to be as honest as I can without telling you that you're fat. I try to be careful how honest I am out loud. For example; You can't go around telling people that they annoy you, or that they are really stupid and lazy right out loud! You need to be careful, and kind. Honesty without kindness is useless! you may quote me if you like. So, in a way kindness is better than honesty, but really, you can't have one without the other! Wow, I made some really good points in this dumb blog! wow, talk about being a hypocrite!

The End of the World as We Know It!!

If I could only grab one item of food, I would grab a case of canned beets. There would be 24 cans that case that I purchased. I would get canned beets because they last a really long time and are very delicious, plus, everyone in my family loves them too. So, I guess that tells you that I would share with my family.

I would spread these cans out as long as I can. we would only eat one fourth of a can every other day to savor the taste. Although, it would be very hard to not gobble it down all at once. So yeah, beets are the best!

The Power of Persuasion

If I had the power of persuasion, then I would use it to persuade all countries to stop the wars, and be nice to everybody. So I guess that I would be using it for good and to spread niceness all over, world peace.
I would also use it to persuade me dad to get me a dog. I have always wanted one, and so has my siblings and my mom. But he hates animals. So I would be able to persuade him to get me a husky, gray and white with blue eyes. Then I would go buy a car for my big brother, my big sister, my parents, and I. I would afford this because I would persuade the sales people to give me theese cars for freeeeeeeeeee! That would be awesome, the power of persuasion!

Book Review, Inkdeath

The last book I read was Inkdeath. It is the third and last book in the Inkheart series. The story is about a man who can read things out of books when he reads out loud. The story "comes to life", literally. But when ever he reads out loud, something, someone, comes out of that book, and something, or someone goes in. This man, his daughter, and his wife are in the world of Inkheart.
Inkdeath is about how Mo, the man who can read things out of books, is now a member and a leader of a group of good robbers in the forest. Mo's robber name is The Blue jay. He does many things, including visiting the land of death, brings someone back with him from the land of death, and kills the Adderhead.

Creating a Character

Regan is visiting Holland. She is 8 years old. She is a professional Lollipop sucker and is competing in a world championship lollipop licking/sucking contest while in Holland. She is very exited and is positive that she will place in the top three, 1st, most likely. And when she does win, she will be the youngest lollipop sucker in America! She has been very successful in the past, and has only failed once. When she was four years old, she entered into the little champ. competition in Idaho, she got a tummy ache from practising to much, and got sick.
Her mother came with her to give her confidence and to Cheer Regan on. She was the World champion bubblegum chewer and she knows that the only way you can succeed is if you fail at least once so that you can learn from it. That is how she became a champion.
One of Regan's favorite things about competitions, is that you get to meet so many people and kids with the same interests as you. She has already made 14 new friends, and has 23 pen-pals from all over the world! She loves competing very much

My Ultimate Winter Break :)

My ultimate winter brake would be located in Ireland one week before Christmas Eve, then I would return home for Christmas, but while in Ireland, I would stay in a hotel with my family. We would eat at a small Resturaunt were people can bring there dogs to because they are so trained. Then we would go on sliegh rides through the white hills. We would go see historicle sites and then go home on a plane. We would now be home and go sledding and snow shoing almost every day! On Christmas Eve, my family would do our usual traditions of acting out the Nativity and drink egg-nog. On Christmas morning I would find a small husky puppy by the Christmas tree! then I would just have at home with my friends the rest of the week.
