FIELD TRIP
I think we should go to Edward's Air Force Base. We should go in June when school is almost out and it is turning from summer to winter. So it's not that cold and it's not that hot. One it could be a great way to learn how the jets take off and how many different kind of air craft's there are in the world. Also maybe see how many Guns and weapons system they have made and how many the government.

I like playing sports because I like to go get active. Sports are
a good after school activity. It really helps you exercise and it takes care of your heart. That's one of the reasons I like sports. I also like sports because I can hang out with my friends at the same time.
One of my favorite sports is Basketball there is a lot of running in it and exercising. Basketball is a sport that both boys and girls can play at school and outside of school. At school I'm on the basketball team with some of my friends. It's one of the most played sports that a lot of kids plays at my school like at recess and after school. Basketball is a very fun activity to play outside with your friends and when you have teams it is even more fun because when you have a team against a another team then you get to make it a challenge which is fun.
The second sport I also like playing is Volleyball. Even though I don't play like an expert I think that I still play pretty good. I usually play it outside with some girls and boys. I'm glad that some of the boys aren't that scared to play a kind of girl sport. It helps you keep balance kind of because when you jump and then you go back down you have to keep balance in your feet. I also like playing volleyball because when we start playing it at school then people who like playing it will come and join us.
The last sport that I like playing is Jump rope. Jump rope is an awesome sport because it's like just jumping around and having a good time and then you get to do all kinds of tricks. Sometimes you can just do jump rope alone or you can play it with friends or alone. It doesn't matter who you do it with. Just as long as you have fun.
For our next field trip we should go to Riley's Farm. It's not really a farm, it's a fun place were you make apple cider, play games, eat Carmel apples for lunch but you still have to eat your own lunch. It's a long ride but it's worth it. I went there last year when I was at my old school. Make sure you bring some money too because there's a gift shop at Riley's Farm. It's really fun if you're in the purple group because they get to play the games first then make apple cider and then eat a Carmel apple. But it's really fun at Riley's Farm. I can't rember any more of Riley's Farm but I do know one thing and that's having fun.

There are a lot of good things about my town. There are very few bad things though. The first bad thing is it doesn't have a lot of stores. To go to get food and clothes we have to go to a town many miles away. The second bad thing is it gets really dry.
There are a ton of good things about this town though. There are a lot of good people. Although it is a small town, it has a lot of awesome. The best thing I like about the town is that you can basically do anything you want to do. I like to go fishing and dirt bike riding with my dad. We can just go right out of our yard to go riding. Also we have creeks all over so we can go and fish. We have lots of rivers and lakes and ponds. My dad catches lot of fish and lets them go. We have a lot of fun. It snows a lot where I live so we can go sledding a lot. People here are really nice. People that you have never met are even nice to you. I think it is a great place to grow up.
By Cianni
The person I know well is Ryan C. I've known him since day care. He's actually a really goofy person now because when he was littler he was always serious and nice but sometimes very mean. Like this one time he put sand down my butt crack and he gave me a rash. It wasn't fair because he only got 5 minutes of time out.
The second person I know pretty well is my other friend Ronni S. She likes to read a book called perfect and watch weird movies. She doesn't have a favorite food she doesn't care to have a favorite. And her favorite color is black and purple because it describes her. She likes any type of animal because she likes nature.
The third person is Tusho A. I've known her for 4 years so far and she's pretty nice to hang out with. She makes me laugh a lot because of what she does. We did a lot of sports together like soccer, basket ball, and soft ball. Those are some things that we do and it's fun. Most of the time we play outside.
By Eddy
If I were to organize a field trip I would take the school to the beach. The whole school would stay in a hotel for one night and go to the beach the next day. The beach we would go to would be Huntington Beach.
We would spend all day in the waves. We would swim, snorkel, body surf, boogie board, and if someone brought their own surfboard we would surf.
At noon everyone would have to eat lunch and then play in the sand until 1.
After everyone had got to swim we would get ready to have a cookout. While all of the adults cooked hotdogs, hamburgers, and made sandwiches all the kids would play. We would all eat and then get back on the bus.
The bus wouldn't arrive home until 12 midnight with one stop for food. The next day at school all of the good kids on the trip would get a surprise. Every good kid would get a great big sundae.
by Kolbe
Kishan: Cool, athletic, smart, YA but kishan is cool he even has a play station three but what makes him cool is his being himself.
Garrett: Cool, funny, smart, athletic, An why I think garrett is cool is cause he do things that I can't do probably.
Andrew: Cool, smart, athletic, An what makes Andrew all these thing is cause he is just being himself.
Coltan: funny, smart, bad, talkable, An Coltan is so talkable that you could probably try to say something an won't even get a word out.
Brandon: Cool, athletic, smart, funny An why I think Brandon is all these thing is cause I know him cause he is my cousin.

So here is a time of debate because Chase and I have been arguing who is better Navy Seals or Marines. So here is something that proves Navy Seals are better than Marines.
The first reason is that navy seals have a 98% chance of dieing in a mission. The marines have a 75% chance of surviving during a mission or patrol. Plus the navy seals have better technology than marines. Last marines have the best food for about a month. Then navy seals get steak, soda, chicken, seafood, Chinese and so forth.
Now how the marines can be better. They can better at weapons deployment and having more troops but. The navy seals have twice the amount of training and are just more elite than the marines. My grandfather was in the navy for 9 years he a commander in chief to. Now there are some private reasons why he did it that can not be said because it is private.
Now than my grandpa was a marine in South Korea. And he was a private first class when he joined and a second lieutenant when it ended. He had his private reasons to. And my grand father and grandpa fight over who is better but im with my grandfather.
So those are my reasons on who are better marines or Navy Seals. In my opinion though navy seals win. And are just more elite and well trained solders to protect against terrorism.
By Katie
If my class took a field trip we would go to Knott's berry Farm and spend the night. It would be when it is hot so we can go to the water park too. So we would get a hotel and come late the day before spend the night the go to the roller coaster park the next day. Then to the water park the day after then go home. That is the field trip we should take .
By Lacie
I think family is important because, they're the ones that will always love you no matter what you do. They help you out when you are in a tough situation and are usually are on your side.
In my family there's my mom, my dad, and my little sister. Even though each and every one of them gets on my nerves I still love them. My sister and I fight constantly over little things but she'll always be my favorite little sister.
In my opinion family is really important. If I didn't think it was I would be having a ruff next six years! I'm luck I like my family and also that they are such a good family.
By Lena
In my opinion it's very important to be honest. It might be tough at times to tell the truth and be honest, but it's the right thing to do. At times I've lied and I no it's not right. Sometimes you might lie for a good reason though.
If you tell the truth it might have some consequences but it won't last for ever. If you lie it could haunt you for ever. On the other hand some people might not even care if they lie, and don't be honest. Most will care though. Even if it's not that big of a problem.
At times you might need to lie, if you're in any sort of danger. Sometimes you have the right to lie and not feel bad, but the majority of the time you should tell the truth. To be honest is good.
By Cianni
On my first day of spring break, I cleaned around the house. It wasn't very fun at first but I had to do it because we're leaving the house to go to a friend's house. It was fun there. We played on her Wii console and played a bunch of games. We ate food watched TV and then went home after a while.
The second day of spring break I just stayed home. It was actually a kind of fun and boring. Because I did have to clean some of the house again and then after I played on the Wii and Play station 2. It was an ok day that day. The next day was super boring and I did nothing at all.
The third day as I said it was boring. I texted people and we would talk and they would brag about how great there spring was going like one of my friends' said that they were going to 6 Flags and another said Knott's berry Farm. I was very sad that I wasn't going to be having that much fun with them.
The fourth day of spring break I just went walking around town. It was ok. I just went to McDonald's and had a kiddy cone. It was pretty good until I saw a little fly in it. I had to go puke. I just walked back home and I tripped on the way it wasn't a good day.
So that's what I did on my spring break. It was mixed. Kind of fun and boring at the same time. So that's all. Bye!
Dear Mrs. G,
I think that you should lift the ban of chewing gum at school. For some of us it might help us think more and we won't chew it out loud like "smack smack smack." When we chew gum it will be better for us and you. So that when it is aloud then you won't have to sign as many referrals or have to call parents as much anymore. Then you won't be as busy as you were before and it won't give teachers trouble to keep asking us to take it out of your mouth.
Sincerely,
Ronni
By Garrett
I think that the school field trip should be to Magic Mountain. I think it should be there because we've always been to Nott's berry farm. But if we can't go there then I think we should go to universal studios because we haven't been there either. There's a lot how places we should go but haven't been like Disney land, Disney world, six flags, Magic Mountain, universal studios or somewhere else like that.
By Cianni
I know some kids that live next door to me. They don't seem to be very… lively. It makes me very sad because I see what happens to them. Night and day they go through things that I've never witnessed before. They shouldn't have to go through what they do.
There's one girl and one boy. The girl's name is Cindy and her brother's name was Henry. Cindy usually came to school with a black eye. She was tortured at home and molested. I could never get to sleep at night from her screaming. I knew that everyone else heard her to but never tried to stop it. Henry was almost up to the level of torture Cindy had gotten. Henry talked very rarely. His dad stuck dirty used toilet paper down his throat so he wouldn't speak. He had been through cockroaches stuck in his ears and watching him hurt people time after time after time.
Their dad was a heartless person who had nothing inside of him that would ever make him love someone. When I asked Cindy were her mom was one time, she told me the whole story. She said that her dad made their mom do stuff that she didn't want to do. But when their dad got sick of her not doing what he wanted, he killed her and made Henry watch every second of it. That was the only time she had basically ever talked to me. I didn't know what to do. So instead I just went over to their house one day so I could talk to Cindy.
So that day I went over to their house and knocked on the door. Nobody answered. I rang the doorbell. Nobody answered again. Suddenly, I heard a loud crash and screams from Cindy and Henry. I walked over to the window and it was open, so I crawled through it and saw something very terrifying. Henry had been killed. He was lying on the ground. He had blood coming out of his mouth and his eyes were wide open.
I was trying to be quiet though because I didn't know if their dad was still alive. I walked quietly into Cindy's room and saw that he wasn't. He was in Cindy's' closet but was Cindy? She was still alive when I finally found her. She was hiding under her bed, she was cut in her face by her eye and the cut was bleeding. She told me the whole story. She said that when she got home that her dad was mad because her and Henry were a little late from school and were supposed to be home right at 3:00. Since he was so mad he grabbed a knife and slashed her in the face with it. She ran off and her dad chased after her but couldn't catch up. She said that Henry tried to help her but her dad grabbed the knife and stabbed him in the throat.
Cindy was crying when she told me this last part. She said she had to grab came out to check if her dad was still there, he was and he saw her. But when he saw her she ran at him, grabbed the knife and stabbed her father. I asked her how he got in the closet and she said she dragged him in there. I told her I was going to call the cops but then she started crying even more. So I just called when she wasn't around. The cops came and talked to both of us. She told them that it was for self defense and they knew that it was.
I had told them what I had seen every night going on the house and what I heard. Cindy showed them all her bruises and told them everything that had happened. Later on, they called an adoption center for Cindy so she can have a better family and be taken care of. Cindy was adopted a couple of weeks later by a very rich family. I went to visit her every day. Cindy is now happy with her new family and is safe. I hope.
The
End

I have one brother and one sister. First I will start with my brother. His name is Emanuel and he is 15, in the 9th grade. He is a freshman, and he thinks he has control over me and my sister. He isn't as annoying as my sister, but he gets on my nerves once in a while. I like my brother; I mean he's okay for a big brother! At least he's not as annoying as my sister!
Oh no! Now I have to talk about my sister. If you ever want to get a headache or get really annoyed, then the solution is very simple, just spend a day with her. For example: She will mimic you, hit you, annoy you, say you are wrong for everything, etc. Well you get the point. She always thinks she's right. And she is so rude too. Anyway, let me tell you about her. Her name is Miriam Jacqueline, but everyone just calls her Jacky. She is 8 years old and in the 3rd grade. I bet she annoys Mrs. Jones like crazy! Poor her! Oh and also she is always copying what I do and she mocks me too. I'm sorry I have a sister like her because at the end of practically all the days, I have a headache because of her. L
By Coltan
I would do a lot of things with my restaurant. First I would get people to work there. I would pay them a good amount so they will stay at my restaurant and become better cooks. Then I would buy a lot in Las Vegas and build a huge restaurant. It would be like forty stories high. It would be as fancy as all of the hotels in Las Vegas put together.
I would make 5 stories the actual restuant and two other stories a bar. Above the bar there would be a dessert bar with every dessert on the planet. Then I will put hotel rooms in the top twenty stories and a pool on the top along with a huge garden with trees and plants, a hot tub, and a tennis court.
Then on the middle 14 floors I will put a lot of cool stuff. I would put a movie theater with the hottest new mo vies in it on one floor. On the next floor I would put an indoor football field. Above that I would put a baseball field. I would make some of these things smaller to fit the building though.
On the next 5 floors I would put an arcade with every game on earth. Then in the next few levels I will but every sport known to America. If I couldn't fit it inside I would put it in the back. I would also put 3 roller coasters on top.
Now I would sell a lot of food at my restaurant. I would sell every food known to the world. I would have a lot of people from different cultures wanting to eat their cultures food.
One of the reasons I put a hotel in my place is because If they go to the bar, they don't have to drive to go home. They could just spend the night.
By Jon
I would be called The Halls Buffet Gourmet! Starting at 50.00 for a 5 course meal. As nice as Excalibur. And as fancy as Excalibur. It would go from Eggs to Ice Cream. Seafood to American. Chinese to Mexican and so forth. All for a reasonable price.
First is all the breakfast from around the world. Then to lunch. Like seafood, Mexican, Chinese, Italian, French, Polish, European, Asian, South American, African, and North American. Then perfect cups, plates, tables, chairs, music, movie, and entertainment center.
Next dinner has seafood, American, Asian, European, and Australian food. Then comes dessert from ice cream, cake, cookies, pie, donuts, and a lot of European dessert, last the famous Australian dessert.
Last the midnight snack comes with, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, or dessert. It would be a 63 story building. The size of the stratosphere. Also with cinema, arcade, private hotel rooms, bar, bowling, basketball, tennis, pool, then the game pool, a midnight show, and a Actual size sign saying "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Nevada" and you'll leave with a bang with a private escort from our security all topped off with 20,000 employees and 1,000 researchers. Rooms starting at 75.00 a night all the extras you can get at the place you want to go. So come on down to The Halls Buffet Gourmet.
By Lena
My brother is six years old, but he's almost seven. His name is Liam. He's my little brother and he's only nice when he wants to be but I still love him so much.
My brother is in 1st grade and is very annoying to me. He's funny at times though. When ever I make him mad he will kick me and try to act all tough when the truth is he's not. Other than that he's just plain annoying. He's not annoying at school because I never see him.
Liam can be very funny and loving too. He will make me laugh at times. I got to say Liam is a good brother but siblings just don't always get along all the time. I still will always love him very much even though he's very annoying.
By Kolbe
If I could cook any meal for my family I would cook steak any kind of steak an how I would make it is I would have to go to a store get some steak an a pan some oil an BQ sauce for its sweet taste. But first I would need to put the pan on the stove and cook the steak for one hour then add the BQ sauce for the rich flavor. Well that's how I would make a steak or how I would try to make it.
By Eddy
If I was to ever own a restaurant I would call it Eddy's Café. It would be a place where people could come to get an early breakfast or a late drink. I would serve home-style food and cheap drinks. All people would be welcome and for the people with less money I would have cheap prices.
My food would all be fresh. I would not cook anything that came in a package or that was frozen. I would have elk, venison, and beef. I also would have pizzas and fries. The Friday night specials would always be some kind of seafood.
In the décor I would have it outdoorsy. I would have a kids lounge with a TV, a soda fountain, pool, ping pong, and snack machine. In the kids lounge there would be an Xbox 360 with some games too. There would also be an adult room. It would have a bar an adult pool table and lounge chairs.
It would be the best in town. It would be the best around. My restaurant would be the most popular restaurant ever.
By Chase
I would name my restaurant, PACO'S TACOS!
My restaurant would be two stories, down stairs for food and up stairs for an arcade. My prices would be reasonable, and my staff would be great.
There would only be the finest of workers in my restaurant, and sadly there will only be English speaking AMERICANS so I can communicate with them. Of coarse its obvious that I would sell PACO TACOS, a hard (or soft) shell taco with chicken, lettuce, tomato, and a fiery hot sauce, so hot you'll have to use our special drink to make it go away. But I would sell more than just that, like nachos and burritos!
By Kolbe
The sandwich I'm going to tell you about is gross and disgusting thing you maybe will eat in your life time. My sandwich would have macaroni, ham, ranch, lettuce, ice cream, and last but not least, chicken.
And you may think this sandwich sounds really disgusting but let me tell you something it tastes really good.
By Cassidy
I have one little sister, ay ay ay! My sister's name is Mattie she's 7 years old, and very annoying. She listens to my conversations with friends. Take this for example, I was talking to my cousin Jessica on my cell phone and Mattie walks right up and puts her ear to my phone. I was so mad, I threw my phone down on my bed and chased her to the door, that's when I locked her outside.
Mattie copies me all the time. All my relatives say it's a form of flattery but, I think it's just plain annoying! She mocks everything I say or do. Not only that but, she stands in front of the TV when I'm trying to watch something. I think this is the most annoying thing she does, she leaves all of her homework on my laptop, and I get so mad about that. One day I had my webcam chat on and she didn't know so she threw all of her homework down right on my keyboard and started tapping my webcam. Little did she know, my great aunt Judy was on the other side and saw everything she was up to. Later that same day she got in massive trouble with my mom and dad, which was awesome.
By Andrew
I'm going to cook a meal for my family. I'm going to describe the meal and tell how you how I make it. I'm going to make my specialty. It is a spaghetti sauce with a bunch of spices and noodles.
It's really good if you like spaghetti. There's garlic and onions with some of my spices. Then I mix the spices together and put them in the sauce. My specialty is the best of all spaghetti.
My ingredients are garlic salt and onions chopped then the spices I use are a secret. My parents like my spaghetti I make but my dad doesn't like my spaghetti. I love my spaghetti but that's me.
My sauce is just tomato sauce with a bunch of spices. That's why my dad doesn't like my spaghetti. Some nights I make my specialty but my dad has a bowl of cereal. My dad makes me sad he doesn't like my spaghetti.
That's what I make for my parents some nights. But I make other things like hot dogs and French toast. But I mostly make my specialty for dinner.
by Branden
If I had my own restaurant I would name it the best restaurant in the world. There will be a dance floor with a disco ball on top of the dance floor. There will be cater and there will be a V.I.P. section. There will be a piece of land that will be for parking.
There will be all kinds of food at my restaurant there will be fast food, there will be food from France and there will just be so much food you will eat there every day. The restaurant is in Las Vegas. There will be a rollercoaster on top of the restaurant and it will be as long as Las Vegas it will take thirty minutes to get around the city.
It will be fun for the whole family there will be three arcades as big as a school. If you buy a raffle ticket there you will get a chance to win a movie theatre. There will be a bar for the grownups so they can have good time to. That is the restaurant I will opened.

If I got to make a meal for my family would make spaghetti and meatball. So I would have to make two different dishes one with out meat ball and one with because my mom and my grandma they are vegetarian.
So I would heat up the water get the noodles in the pot. Then make the meatballs. Then I would make the sauce. I would put enough seasons not a lot and not a little. Then I would put some of the noodles in the sauce without the meatballs and then the rest of them in the one with the meatballs.
by Katie
If I could make a new sandwich it would make my favorite kind. It would have my fav stuff on it.
Lots of meat a strange kind of bread and one vegetable. And a couple different sauces like things on it. That is what my sandwich would be like.
Ok so the bread would be Italian Herbs and cheese.
Then the meat would be turkey and hot pastrami meat.
With Swiss cheese and just lettuce on it. Then the sauces would be olive oil and vinegar with mayo and mustard. Then a dash of salt and pepper. That would be my sandwich.
Now I have told you about my sandwich. What it would be on it. And it would so delicious. That is my new sandwich.
By Katie
The strangest thing I have ever eaten was snails. I ate them at Seasons in Lone Pine. They were ok but when the snails came to the table they looked like goose turds. Snails taste salty like sea salt but they were good but I had to pick them out of the shell with a crab fork. But they were good and I got to try something new.
The other strange thing I have ever eaten was Rocky Mountain Oysters. But they had garlic and batter all over them so they were good. Also I had sauce to dip in. They were delicious and good eating yummy. That was the strangest thing I ever ate but they were good.

One best present I would like to receive is a play station 3 with call a duty world at war an play Nazi zombie online to test my skills in combat.
By Kishan
The best present I have got is an iPod touch first generation. The first generation does not sound cool right now but I got it the week after they came out with it. Also I liked it because my first iPod would never charge. Also the new iPod let me play more games before then ever. Also I loved it because I was the only one with it at my house.
The best present I could get would be a scooter. Like a powered scooter not a regular one. I always thought it would be cool to have one that way. Also I would ask my dad if he could put little heavy duty wheels so I could ride it to my practice. Also they go pretty fast too.

THE STRANGEST THING I'VE EVER EATEN
By Edward
I have eaten many strange items but the strangest probably was deep fried baby octopus. I was spending a day at Bass Pro Shop's in Rancho Cucamonga with my dad. We had gone down there to get my new bow set up and to have lunch. It took about two hours to get my bow done so by the time we were done we were pretty hungry.
We went into the café and sat down. They had many fish mounts and an aquarium. Our waiter came over and took our drink order and gave us some of the best bread I have ever eaten. When she took our order I got the island platter and it came with a variety of odd things. It had deep fried baby octopus, alligator, calamari, quesadilla, and coconut shrimp. Over all I liked the alligator best but that octopus was still good.
By Eddy

They are all great friends and have many traits.
Jon: He is nice and a good reliable friend that I can count on that always has my back.

Ryan: A great kid that is always willing to lend a helping hand when I need help sports wise.
Morgan: long distance friend that has come so close to being family I consider him a cousin
Max: Morgan's older brother and always a great helper in the right thing to do and helps with academics.
By Kishan
The five people I think that I can describe in five words are Branden, Garrett, Brad, Douglas, and Kyler. I think I could describe them because all of the play base ball. Also all of them go to my school. Then they are all my friends. Those aren't all my friends.
Branden I could describe as funny loud trouble maker and obnoxious. Garrett would be funny tall quiet skinny and good at math.
Brad is easy loud tall good baseball player.
Douglas would be funny loud ambitious and fast runner.
Kyler could be loud hyper all the time.
by chase
The strangest thing that I have ever eaten was a live squid. I don't know why I ate a squid but I thought it was a good idea at the time, but I found out that the squid get stuck in your throat and you have to pull them out with your fingers.
I know that squid are a bad thing to eat and a pest when you pull them out. So I will never eat a live squid again but maybe a dead one. And that's the weirdest thing I ever ate.
by Kyler
At the age of seven I was odd. I had short hair and I was tall for my age. I wasn't tallest but I was taller than about halve the class. My life seemed better back then. I hated hair cuts because the hair would get in my eyes and It would take forever.my mom would take me out to get ice cream after words. I was sort of crazy. My oldest sister used to call me goof ball because of it.
My oldest sister moved out when I was about to turn eight. Life seemed better but I think it could get better soon.
By Lacie
When I was younger I was terribly afraid of the dark. It was my worst nightmare. I would have to sleep with a night-light. Nothing in the world scared me more.
Anyways, I had a pigmy goat and he had to eat morning and night. One day, I had forgotten to feed Rocky. It was late and it was also dark. My mom asked if I had fed Rocky and I said no. I didn't think it was that big of a deal since he had a lot to live off. She told me to go and feed him and I was absolutely terrified.
I went out and I was halfway to our little goat kennel when my imagination started to get the better of me. I heard the bushes rustle and I started to run. It seemed like days to get there because I was so scared but I finally made it. I fed him and then ran back into the house as fast as I could. That night helped me get over my fear.

The strangest thing I have ever eaten would have to be a tortilla filled with cottage cheese and blueberries. It looked appetizing but boy was I wrong.
I first tried this dish when my family and I were on my way to Idaho. It was in this little café and my mom had ordered it. I asked her if I could have a bite and she let me. Mistake!
It was so disgusting; I ran into the bathroom and spit it out. I learned never to eat something until you have made your little sister try it first.

My worst mistake was when I got in trouble for not doing my chores. So my parents were fighting about it then my mom comes barging out of the room I could tell that she was mad by the expression on her face. Then my dad comes after her then I hear my mom start yelling I don't know if it was at me or my dad I thought it was both. I looked at her and she was yelling at me she was saying "YOU ARE A LITTLE SOILED BRAT THAT NEEDS TO FIND A NEW HOME BECAUSE YOUDON'T DO HARDLY ANYTHING AROUND THE HOUSE!!!!!!!" I didn't know what to say even when I knew it wasn't true.
I do most of the work around the house while she sits her lazy but on the couch. It upset me that she said to find a new home but I didn't really care she always said stuff like that so I ignored her. Later she left as usual so my dad told me not to listen to what she says. But I started to think about it maybe I should find a new home. So later that night when everyone was asleep a left.
It was a mistake I had known were to go. So I walked up town for a couple hours. Then I ended up going home. When I got there every light in the house. I got yelled at again for running away so that was my biggest mistake ever running away I got grounded for three months I thought that they overreacted a bit.
By Lacie
My biggest mistake was letting my sister use the phone when she was seven years old. No adult was there to accompany us. It was a huge mistake!!!
There we were sitting in the house watching TV while my dad was outside shoeing a horse. All of a sudden out of nowhere, Juliann (My little sister) wanted to call my dad. I said fine so she went to go get the phone. She dialed a number she started talking and then she handed the phone to me. "He wants to talk to me?" I asked. "She" Juliann replied. "Who did you call?" "I don't know." she replied. And then I took the phone.
"Hello?" I answered. "Hi" an unfamiliar voice replied. "Who is this?" I asked. She told me Juliann had dialed 9-1-1. "Who is this?" she asked. Miranda I said because my mother always told me to never give my real name. But then I realized I shouldn't have told her that so I told her my real name. She asked me why I said my name was Miranda and I said because I thought she was asking for my mom's name. That was a total lie. I thought your mom's name was Liz she said. It is I thought you were asking for Miranda who is staying here. I lied again.
She said to keep my sister off the phone. I said okay and then she hung up. She had just accused me of something I wasn't responsible for! Then Juliann said she wanted to call dad and I said "Okay just please don't dial 9-1-1 again." She agreed and she started talking and then again handed the phone over again and I took it.
The same voice said she was going to send a deputy over and just about fell over. Ten minutes later my dad came in yelling at Juliann. Juliann was in trouble and the deputy gat delayed so everything turned out okay just a close to regular day at the Jones House.

The first thing I would want to do on my birthday would be to get out of school and go to Mulligan for the day. So I would get to go to Lancaster and Palmdale on my birthday. The next thing I would do is go bowling butt just one game of that so I have more time to go to the mall and shop for toys, video games, and new shirts. Also for lunch I would get something light like Taco Bell. Ten I could go to Sakeys for some pizza and the arcade.

If my best friend Lena and I could rent a limo for 24 hours we would go to one place. Los angles is were we would go but on kids choice awards night so we could pretend to be stars. It would be awesome and so much fun. Because we could meet people and do some fun stuff. And go shopping it would be fun if we could do that.
First we would get we would get a 1,ooo,000 dollars cash to send. Then get the limo and drive to LA. We would find a mall and shop for are dresses, shoes, accessories, and get are hair done like stars. Then we would drive to the place were the awards are pretend that we are get an award. That would be so fun to do.
Maybe we would meet some stars while were at it. Or even get in the green room. Hahaha like that could happen. But if it could it would be so cool, fun, and exciting for us. That is what my best friend Lena and I would try to do if we got to rent a limo for a day.

My room is 22 X 22 room. Because it is a hotel my room is the hotel.
Any way it has 3 queen sized beds. A computer. Bath and shower, and a sink.
Then it has an Xbox 360. A 20 in. TV. And an 18 inch TV. Then we have a coffee machine. A toaster. Then 2 fridges about 20 inches big each fridge. Not that much I can think of because it is a hotel.
Next is my parents usually home at least my mom. My dad comes home right when I am home. And my mom makes beds and everything else. It is usually pretty boring there to.
Anyway now you know what I have at my place not that much if you ask me. But I have to deal with it till June or later. Just hope my dad does not get mad at us.
By Jon
What I would do if I had a limo for 24 hours. With a friend of course.
I would go to Washington D.C. To see the white house, and get tours of museums. Then back home I go.
My limo would have…. A Jacuzzi in the back of the limo. Have drinks inside and an xbox360 with a TV. Oh and some food to. My friend would be Gabe. The reason I cannot say. But that would be about a million dollar limo. Now that is what I call a limo.
Now when I go to D.C. I would try to meet the president. Get some tours on the white house, and have lunch. Then back on my way home before that 24 hours expire. Because we have 2 hours to get home.
So I got into the limo and told the driver to go to lone pine double time. He said ok and floored it to 300 MPH. nobody was able to see us so an hour later we were home. Right on schedule. So the owner of the limo came and said here is the key and hit this button anytime you want the limo and driver to come. Then he left. And guess who owned it. Tiger Woods! I was in shock. So then I went to my place and crashed. Gabe went to his place to.
It was one radical day then 2 minutes later. I got up and went to sleep in the limo. Quite comfy if you ask me. Because it had a pullout bed. It was awesome so I had some soda and played video games the rest of the night.

My room at home isn't like many kids rooms. It is 18'x20' and is quite clean I have a bed on the East wall, a desk with a television on the West side, a big window with a nightstand on the South side, and a closet on the North side. I am not a messy kid and I keep everything organized.
First off my room is quite big for my house. My room isn't the biggest in the house but it is big. We live in a mobile home that is no longer mobile because we put a cinder block foundation around the bottom. All in our entire house is 30' wide and 60' long.
My room has lots of things in it. I have a TV, a desk, a closet, and a big window. My closet takes up 1/3 of my room and it has many items in it. For example I have this big open dresser thing that is all black and is like netting except it made of aluminum. On the other side of the closet I have my dresser and all my clothes. Up on top hanging down I have all my nice shirts.
Last but not least I have my desk. I is a great big 150 pound wood and granite desk. It has 1 droor specially made for pencils another made for books and one made for paper. I have a dell hp printer and computer on it and that is where I do all my homework. I love my room.
I am not a messy kid and I keep everything organized. I keep everything nice and neat and always in order. I love my home.

I will get thousands and thousands of dollars and give it to charity to help for the country in many different ways, I also will be a hero of war and I will take all punishment and suffering for my friends, family, and fellow servicemen. I will be a honest to all and be the best soldier I can be.

If I had 100,000 dollars extra I would spend it all St.Judes children's research hospital, because I know how it feels to have a loved one in the hospital because my sister was in a children's hospital, and I want all those brothers, sisters, and parents or grandparents to stop worrying. I know I could give it to whoever I want to, but I think that St.Judes needs it the most!!!

This is a story about the school rules. I will tell you which ones I like. And which ones I do like.
These are the ones I like. No bulling, no ruff playing. This is why I do not like bulling. Cause some people can get hurt. and if the kids think that it would be ok to bully.
And this is why is why. I do not like ruff playing. Cause people can get hurt. For example some kids were playing football. And one of the kids tackled another kid. That kid could get hurt.
And these are the ones I do not like. No gum, no hats inside the class rooms. I do not see why we can't have gum. We should be able to have gum but we have to throw it away.
I think should be able to wear are hats inside. Cause it won't hurt nothing.
By Jon
I would like to change some rules like no tag on the slide. Maybe a referee at kickball or football. Last but not least we should be allowed to chew gum.
So anyway the tag on the slide is fun. I have not even seen anyone get hurt so why is it dangerous. What do they think were going to do jump off the slide? We are 6th grade for peat sake. Like we would break a leg by landing on sand I have jumped off that high when I was 6. I felt almost no pain what so ever.
Next we need a ref at football and kick ball. There are too many fights. Too many arguments. And even unfair teams. So I think we need a ref or umpire like Mr. Hubbard or Mr. Heist. The reason is it helps because they can tell if it is fair, where the ball is, even to choose teams. That way everyone is not arguing over a couple yards, or if there safe etc.
Last I think we should be able to chew gum. The reason is scientist proved that gum helps your brain work better because it is food to your brain. Besides I have a gum addiction myself. I love to blow bubbles it can entertain myself. But at other times I get in trouble because I blew a bubble. That is also another reason why. It just tastes good as well sour gum maybe spearmint and all the other good stuff. I would like it if we did not have that rule.
So you have read that we should have tag on the slide. There needs to be a ref for kickball or football. And last we should be able to chew gum. And in my opinion there pretty good answers and reasons.
By Lacie
Some school rules are important and need to be followed but others I don't agree with. But rules are rules and I don't think that I'm going to convince adults that my opinion is right. It is the school board's decision not mine.
I think lollipops should be allowed at school. Just as long as the kids are sitting down of course. I understand that sometimes lollipop sticks are found but not very often but then again I do not go around the school hunting for them. I'm also not a janitor and I don't think picking up lollipop sticks is the most fun thing to do in Lone Pine.
I think, I know some people agree with me, that all kids 5th grade and up should have to take showers every night. If someone stinks no one is going to tell them. In the words of Mrs. Harry, "Showers are your friend!" That should be a famous statement if you ask me.
I also think we should have a teeter totter. Those things are so much fun. All the other schools have one and Lo- Inyo doesn't. I know it sounds dumb but I think we should have one. It's pretty much impossible to get hurt. I think it would be a good piece of equipment.
The moral is following the laws. Rules are important. They can also get you in trouble if you don't follow them. Without rules the world would be total chaos.
By Kolbe
I'm going to tell you that I wish we had and why we should have them in our school. An why it would be cool to have those rules in our school.
One new rule we should have is when we get to school we should be able to go to the mobile if there is still time to go to the mobile. So that we can get something good to go with our lunch. An so we eat hot cheetos at lunch if there is nothing good to eat for breakfast.
An the second new rule we should have is being able to play baseball out in the baseball field why a teacher is watching us. So that us baseball players can practice our batting and catching fly balls.
An the third rule is that we should be able to listen to music all day long even class except when the teacher says it time to stop listening to music. An when your ears start to hurt from listening to music to long time it really hurts your ear drums.
An that should be the new three new rules for our school cause they're really cool an could be good for our school an asome.
I think that three school rules should be changed. One of them is that gum should not be allowed. Boys should able to wear tank tops. Girls should not be able to wear make up at school. Those are my three rules that should be changed.
Gum should not be able to be on school campus at all or you will get a referral. Because gum sticks to the bottom of desks, shoes and the MPR. That and gum is really hard to clean up.
Boys should be able to wear tank tops. Because boys will be nice and cool when it's really hot outside. Also to boys it's not fair that girls get to wear tank tops. I think that girls should not wear tank top any more.
Girls should not wear make up at all. If they do they will also get referrals too. The teachers are allowed to wear make if they want to.
So that's what the new rules should be. Because then kids would follow rules more often. That and people will learn why gum is bad. And girls don't have to wear make up to look beautiful.

My nickname was eggroll because I'm part Chinese but only a little bit. I don't like my nickname but I don't mind people calling me it. I think that it's racist or something. Also my dad gets offended with it because I told him and he started yelling at me and told me to tell my friends to stop calling me that because it's racist. I didn't because I thought it would make them sad because they made it up in the first place.
I also was called Ronchie I hated that name completely. Because I guess in Papago language it meant something that I'm not allowed to say on the blog. I would rather not have one than have that one. Sometimes I wish that I had not EVER had one in my life.
I would rather have one from my mom than the other two. My mom has one nickname for me and that's RONNI BONNIE. I HATE that name is very embarrassing to me. She has called me that since I was 2 years old my dad told me. I tell her that I'm too OLD for that name of Corse she doesn't agree but now that she doesn't live with us anymore I kind of miss it.
By Jon
My nicknames are going to be what my friends call me. And what my family calls me. I found it that it is easier to be called Jon at school and JB (Jon Boy) at home. But sometimes at home my dad calls me Jonnyman.
Im proud of being called Jon because it is a lot easier to say in stead of Jonathan especially at school. At home I like being called JB because it is easier to say and faster to say that and my mom has called me that since I was 4 years old. When it comes to my dad he likes to call me Jonnyman. The reason is because he has been thinking that the name is a lot better than Jon. Because it makes it sound boring. When it comes to my grandfather he calls me Mr. Jonathan. The reason is because he likes my whole name and I am fine with that I really don't mind. Then comes my grandmother, grandpa (who is dead), my grandpa in law, my grandma, my uncle Kenny etc. They just call me Jonathan. And I told you once and im telling you again I am fine with that name.
Anyway you get the point majority says that I should be called Jonathan im fine with that. Same with JB, Jonnyman, MR. Jonathan, and Jon. Im probably going to get more nicknames throughout my life any way.
By Lacie
My nickname in softball was yoyo. I was called yoyo because at least once every practice the ball would fall out of my hand on the wind up. Carlie made it up and then the other girls started to call me that too. I liked that nickname because it was different and there wasn't anything bad about it.
My other nickname was strike which my mom made up. I was named this because toward the end of the year my accuracy started to get better. I liked this one because it meant that I was getting better and plus, it sounded cool whenever someone said it. We all made up nicknames for ourselves like mine and Kayla's was pickles because she would always get in pickles during softball. We were all eventually named but it was hard to keep track of everybody's nicknames.
I've been pretty luck with nicknames. So far, or at least in softball, I haven't had any nicknames that I haven't liked. I liked all my nicknames because they were brand new and no one else had ever been called that before. My favorite was yoyo because that one was ever called that before me. I loved the nicknames I was given.
By Lena
In softball I had one funny nickname it was Banana Split. We were trying to make a nickname for everyone, and my team voted Banana Split for me. The way I got my nickname is by being so flexible. I could do the splits back bend and a lot more weird and cool things. This nickname never bothered me, because I found it unique. I loved it so much but the name didn't last me very long. It was very hard for people to remember my name. It didn't bother me when my name was no longer Banana Split!
I had one more nickname and it was Four Eyed. Not many people called me this but some did. Like every time Kayla comes to play at my house her mom says, "Say hi to four eyed". Kayla tells me and I laugh. This nickname doesn't bother me because I no people don't mean it. The only time it bothers me is when my sisters mad at me and says that to me. The only person that really calls me that is Kayla's. I don't have many nicknames but when I get a nickname it always makes me laugh.
By Kyler
Nick names sometimes are a signal of pride. But sometimes can really hurt somebody's feelings. But for me they are a signal of pride. During baseball season I was called sharel. Somebody heard something I said wrong and thought I said sharel. All the way through baseball season I was called sharel. Even the coach called me that.
My second nickname is twerp. Only my sister calls me that. She calls me twerp all the time. Even on birthday and Christmas presents. Rarely dose she call me Kyler. My oldest sister likes to call me bubba. I like bubba more than twerp.
By Eddy
I am one with many nicknames. They are Eddy spaghetti, fish net, turtle, and before I got slow it was fast Eddy. I like all of my nicknames for many reasons. Here are a few.
I got my nickname Eddy spaghetti for two reasons. One reason is I really like spaghetti and the other reason is it rhymes. I got fish net from baseball. I got it because one day I wore a fish net tank top to practice. I was called fish net the rest of that year. Turtle came from me being so slow. And again I got it in baseball. I know you are probably thinking how did I get fast Eddy But amazingly I used to be fast. I actually would tie with Ryan when we raced but now he beats me every time. I really like all of my nicknames.
By Garrett
My nickname is Garrett McSkillet because my friend brad started calling his friends things from McDonalds. Then people started calling me that. It was very catchy at the time but people stopped calling me Garrett McSkillet. Garrett McSkillet was the very cool name. It was an awesome name and it was catchy also. The name Garrett McSkillet is old now. Garrett McSkillet is the best name ever.
I like my nickname Garrett McSkillet. Other people used to like it also. I wish people would call me that again. It was the very cool nickname. I loved my nickname Garrett McSkillet. Garrett McSkillet was the best nickname ever in the history of nicknames. At least on other person calls me Garrett McSkillet.
By Coltan
I have a really big nickname in my family. Almost everyone calls me it. Even people that don't live in my house call me it. They all call me CJ. It stands for Coltan John. John is my middle name so it makes sense. It is like my real name at my house. My mom almost never calls me Coltan. She calls me CJ.
I have another nickname. Kyler's sister sometimes calls me Twerp number 2. I really don't now where she came up with that. I know that she calls Kyler twerp number 1 though. She also calls Douglas twerp number 3. Most of the time she just calls me Coltan. I like my other name better. I don't like my nickname because my mom says it in public and people at school make fun of me.
By Chase
I have two nicknames that come from my family not from friends. My first nickname is BUTTBOMBER, because of my excessive farting I was given this nickname, but its not only how often its also how bad it stinks, they say it smells like rotten egg and wow it does!!! My second nickname is MOTOR MOUTH; one reason is obvious I talk a lot, duh, it obvious I talk a lot but I also get the name from run on sentences.
I wish my nick name was Cdog because I always liked that name for some reason, but I also like Paco for some reason too but I don't know why I like them, I think its because I have used them a lot but that is what I like to be called, but not BUTTBOMBER or MOTOR MOUTH even though they make sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By Branden
The nickname that I have is jungle jiggy that is what the some people call it kind of gets annoying. They got that nickname from a game it's on gamesgames.com that's where they got it. When they just first saw they just had been calling me that every day. So now everyday I'm going to school as jungle jiggy. Sometimes when they call me that I start to laugh it's funny because it is a weird name.
I like my nickname all the time but when they call me that around my family members it gets kind of embarrassing. But when they call my name around the 8th graders and that is really embarrassing. When they call that around the 8th graders they just laugh. So sometimes I like but sometimes I don't. That is my nickname and I am proud to be called jungle jiggy.
By Kishan
My dad's nickname for me is laloo. I am pretty sure he calls me laloo because it means crazy. I sportive like being called crazy. But not all the time see at home it is fine but a Wal-Mart or in public. Most people would not know all the things we are saying. Because people don't understand our language. Because we speak a different language so people would not know what laloo means. But also if we are saying something good about them they might think we might say something bad about them. My nickname has a lot of sense because at home I am higher or really annoying.
I would like my nick name to be something like champ or sport, or even, superstar. I like super star the best because I`m really not good at sports but I play a lot of sports. Also my dad encourages me on playing sports and doing homework. Also he comes to all football games all basket ball games and anything else I play. I like playing all sports. Then my dad usually will buy something to help me on any sport I play. That's how I would like my nicknames to be.
