My Plans For Tonight

Tonight is opening night for my favorite sports team ever, The Saint Louis Blues. I am very excited especially because I get to go and because it's been what seems like forever since last hockey season. Going to hockey games is probably one of my favorite things to do because it's so loud in there and everyone is so happy that I can barely even think. And since The Scottrade Center is a metal building, it doesn't get much service so people can't text me or call me to bother me. I love when the Blues score a goal because it gets so loud and all the fans stand up and scream.

The Book

One day, when walking home from school, I found this book laying on the street. I picked it up and it looked very very weird but I still took it home anyway. When I got home I took it to my room and looked at it. Then, I realized the book had an eye. But only one. It looked at me and gave me chills. It also spoke to me and told me inside was a whole bunch of spells, more than I could even imagine and that there were spells for almost everything. I was very creeped out so I gave the book to my 11 year old sister. She thought it was so cool. It probably wasn't the best idea but I did it anyway. My sister spent a lot of time in her room with the book that night. The next day we went to school like normal and everything was fine. But when we got home there was this weird bus outside our house. I was worried so I went to take a look inside. When I looked inside, there were hundreds of bananas. I watched my sister as she looked inside and when she saw all the bananas she was so happy. She said "The spell came true!! All my bananas came!!"

Next Week

Next week is going to be the best week ever! Monday is my 14th birthday. Even though I'm kind of upset it's on my least favorite day of the week, I'm still excited for it. I already know what I'm getting for my birthday from my parents because I already got one of the presents yesterday. It is an iPhone 5s. I wanted one really bad because my 4s shattered a month ago. My other present from my parents is Blues hockey tickets to the first game 3 days after my birthday. I'm so excited for hockey season to start and I can't believe I get to go to the first game again this year. These are some of the big reasons fall is my favorite season.

The Rest Of This Week

The rest of this week is going to be really really fun. Tonight, after school I'm going to the 8th grade football game. After the football game I'm going to the YMCA with my dad and sister to help coach my sister's volleyball practice. Tomorrow is homecoming. We all get to get out of school and go to the homecoming parade. After school, I'm going home with my friend Kaite and we are going to put black and yellow hand prints on our legs and get ready for the homecoming game. Then, I'm going to the homecoming game with all my friends. On Saturday, my friend Abbey is having a birthday party. All my friends are going and we are going to watch a whole bunch of scary movies. It's going to be a blast.

What I'll Never Forget

I don't think i'll ever forget who my best friends are. They are always here for me just like I am for them.  When I'm not feeling so good about myself, they always know how to cheer me up and help me be proud of who I am. I'm not one of those people who consider everyone as a best friend because best friends to me are people who never let you down and never judge you for who you are. Adults don't always forget who their best friends were in middle school, but most people do. I think they forget because those people aren't there for them now because people change. I really do hope I stay friends with the people I am friends with now.

I LOVE MY FAMILY

This Past Weekend

This past weekend was really fun. It started kinda early for me because my friends and I went to the volleyball game to support our other friend Kaite. Afterwards, we went back to my friend Alyssa's and stayed the night. Her dad also got us Taco Bell, which is my favorite. Then after school on Friday we walked to my other friend Katie's house. It was really fun even though it was cold. Then, we went to the football game on Friday night which was also really cold but fun. Saturday was kinda boring except for going out to dinner with my family. On Sunday, we got up at 6 to go to the color run in Saint Louis. I was freezing at first but then once the sun came out and I started running, I got really hot. Then after the color run, we went to Starbucks and I got my first Pumpkin Spice Latte! Fall is off to a really good start!

My Weird Vacation

Over the summer, I went on vacation with my family. I was so excited when I saw how beautiful the place was, even though it took 8 hours to get there. The first couple of days were so exciting and relaxing. Our private beach was amazing. It was so peaceful to just lay in the sand and listen to the waves crashing. One day, my family decided to stay at the pool instead. Which I hated because we have pools back home and we had a beautiful beach that we could be at but we stuck around the boring and normal pool. After was ate dinner, I begged my mom to let me go to the beach. At first she said no because she didn't want me going alone but I finally convinced her to let me go. But when I got to the beach there was weird writing on the sand. And then I heard a very strange noise..

9/11

9/11 was a terrorist attack that killed a lot of people and destroyed the twin towers on September 11, 2001. I think it was absolutely terrible. So many innocent people were killed and hurt. Even though it happened a long time ago, I still feel terrible for the families and friends that lost someone during that time. It must have been so hard for the families to get through it and I'm sure there are still families grieving. Some people don't think 9/11 is an important day anymore and just ignore it but they don't think about everyone that is still upset about it.

My Plans This Weekend

My weekend is going to be really fun! Friday I have to come to school, which kinda stinks, but afterwards I'm going to my friend Chloe's party. A lot of my other friends are going too. Saturday is my dad's birthday so we are going to spend our day at Twin City Days and then we're going out to eat afterwards. On Sunday, we're going to church and then going home to watch football. I'm not very excited about the whole football thing because I think it's boring. So many people think I'm crazy for thinking hockey is better than football. Maybe if I understood football more I would like it better. Anyways, I think this weekend is going to be pretty fun.

If I Raise Children

If I raise children I will make sure they are respectful to everyone around them. If they aren't, they will be punished for it. If I have more than one kid I will make sure each one of them gets the same amount of attention. I will never constantly leave my children to go do my own things. They are my children not the babysitters. When my child becomes a teenager I will be more of an understanding parent. Even though, I will still have rules for them. I will always make sure my kids are happy.

Fall

I'm so excited for fall! It is my second favorite season.The only thing I don't like about fall is going back to school. I can't wait for school football games and for hockey to start. It will be so fun to finally get to go to a Blues game after not being to one since January. I also can't wait for pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks. I usually hate wearing jeans and hoodies but this year I'm excited to put away my summer clothes. I'm also very excited for bonfires with my family and friends. Halloween is another thing I like about fall. My friend and I already have our costumes planned out.

snakes

picture from here

Yesterday, I was outside looking for worms to fish with, so I was digging in a mulch pile in the woods and I found a shingle that fell off of our house. I lifted up the shingle and saw a baby snake. We find baby ring-necked snakes almost everyday at our house, so I picked it up thinking that it was just a baby ring-necked snake. When I picked it up, I realized that it didn't have a ring around it's neck. It was all black with a pink stomach. We had never found one before, so I tried looking it up on my phone and found out that it was a pink-bellied mud snake.

what really bugs me

PICTURE FROM HERE

What really bugs me is homework. there are some teachers that don't give any homework, then there are teachers who give homework. I have never had a teacher that gives homework on the first day of school until seventh grade. Most of the time students expect to go back to school and not do anything on the first day, but when a teacher gives homework on the first day of school, you know that there is a lot more to come. I hate homework  especially when you don't get any time in class to work on it. I think that if the teacher gives homework, we should at least get a few minutes to work on it.

six flags

PICTURE FROM HERE

My favorite ride at six flags is Mr. Freeze. I love all roller coasters, especially the ones that go upside down. Mr. Freeze used to start out forward and end backwards, but now they turned it around. Now it starts backwards and end forward. I also really like the Batman. Unlike many roller coasters, the car hangs from the track instead of riding on it. Also unlike many roller coasters, there are five people in each car and your feet hang off of the car.

sports

I love all sports, especially soccer and basketball. I have played soccer since I was in kindergarten. I played for Desoto until fourth grade, then I started playing CYC through our lady school. I also started playing basketball at a young age. The first time I ever played basketball, it wasn't for a real team. It was just to teach us how to handle the ball such as dribbling the ball and running down the court at the same time. After we learned how to keep control over the ball, we learned how to shoot the ball. I love basketball and soccer.

kid nation 5

group- There are four groups in kid nation yellow, green, blue, and red. Every week they all run an obstacle to figure out what group is upper class, merchants, cooks, and laborers. Upper class gets $1.00, merchants get $0.50, cooks get $0.25, and laborers get $0.10. Every kid has to do the best that they can to make the town a better place.

conflict- The council read more in the journal and it said something about having a reelection for the leader. There was some conflict between Anjay and Olivia because Anjay was a leader but Olivia doesn't like him to be leader. She ran against him in the election. Olivia is going around the district and telling everyone that they need to vote for her.

secondary group-Kid nation is a secondary group because they share a goal to clean up bonanza city. They all have to do their jobs in order to clean up the town. If they don't do their jobs then they wont be able to get the town cleaned up in 40 days. Every week they have an obstacle to go through to see who will be the upper class, merchants, cooks, and laborers. 

kid nation 7

deviance- Divad started a snack shop and some people got mad because she was taking food from the kitchen that anyone can get for free and she is selling it for $0.05. Jared decided that he thought it was unfair that Divad could sell food. He decided that he was going to sell food because Divad had no competition. Some of the kids started yelling at him and he got mad. He tipped over Divad's tables with all of her food.

deviant- Taylor is a deviant because she doesn't follow the rules that the council makes. For example, when the council decided to take the trash away from the town, Taylor was one of the people who was supposed to go and she refused because she said she had other things to do. When the town got back, Taylor was sitting around doing nothing. The council gave her a punishment and she refused to do it as well.

stigma- Taylor is lazy and doesn't want to do anything. She is afraid to get dirty. Everyone is sick of her sitting around, sleeping in, yelling at people, and doing nothing while everyone else is working really hard. All of the kids call her lazy, rude, and other names. 

kid nation 6

authority- Zach and Guylan are the new leaders. Guylan is the new leader for the red team and Zach is the new leader for the yellow team. Laurel and Anjay are still the leaders for the green and blue team. The council is the authority because they have power over the group.

cooperation- The council decided that the trash pile was getting disgusting so the council picked out some people to go to with them and pick up the trash and take it far away from the town and bury it. Taylor was one of the people that was supposed to go, but she didn't want to go so she stayed back and did nothing the whole time. When the council came up with a punishment, Taylor was supposed to collect water and fill up the tank. instead she filled up two buckets and poured them onto the ground.Taylor is not cooperating with the council.

groupthink- DK was going to go home because he was sick of all of the drama. Guylan talked to DK because the town needs him to stay. DK decided yo stay because he realized that everyone needed him and that everyone needs him and that he can't run away from his problems. He got the gold star and decided he was going to stay for the rest of the time.

kid nation 4

status- The council wants to put everyone into a big group, but no one likes that idea because everyone has different statuses such as religion. Some people are christian, some are Jewish,and other religions. They are trying to get everyone to go to church and learn that they aren't all that different. A couple kids got some people to come outside later that night to pray. Some people went but others didn't.

role- Everyone has a role in kid nation. There are four groups and each group has a certain job or role. Every week they have an obstacle to beat to decide which group gets to be upper class, merchants, cooks, and laborers. Every group has a job to do in order to fix up the town. if every group didn't have a role, the town wouldn't get fixed up as fast.

obligation-Some of the kids do not believe that taylor fulfills her duty as a leader. They say that she is too bossy and tells everyone what to do but she doesn't do her job.She thinks that being a leader is telling everyone what to do. Being a leader is helping people when they need help.

poorest president

picture from here

The poorest president in the world makes about $12,500 a year. This is a very low salary especially for a president, but what is even crazier is that he donates 90% of his salary to charity. I think this is crazy but at the same time it is amazing because even most of the richest people don't donate anything. I think more people should be like him so there wouldn't be as many people going hungry or without somewhere to live.

my weekend

picture from here

This weekend, I was outside at the lake across the street from my house. I went over to the lake to fish, but instead I found a baby bunny. I caught it and now we are keeping it as a pet. It is so small that we have to bottle feed it. We usually catch baby bunnies every year at the beginning of spring, but we usually don't keep them. We will keep it until it is old enough to be on its own, then we will let it go.

kid nation 3

desocialization- The children had a celebration and they stayed up late. One of the kids got mad and went into the houses and made a lot of loud noises and woke everyone up. Everyone got mad at him, but the council decided to give the town a curfew. Everyone has to be in the houses by 9:30. Some people agree and want to have a curfew but others don't want to. Everyone was so used to going to bed late and sleeping in and it was a major norm for all the kids to sleep in. Now they have to get used to going to bed and waking up earlier.

resocialization-the town council has decided to give the children a curfew because some of the children were staying up too late and not wanting to get up early. The kids have to adjust to waking up earlier and going to bed earlier.They have to be in the houses by 9:30. Some people are happy about having a curfew, but others don't want to have a curfew. They have to get up earlier to get their jobs done.

self-concept- Greg, one of the older kids, started working harder when he found out that there was a twenty thousand dollar reward given at the end of every week to the kid who works the hardest. He got mad when he didnt get it because he sees  himself as being the hardest worker because he is the oldest. He started going around yelling and cussing at the other kids. He believes that he deserves the gold star because he is working the hardest, but everyone knows he is just working harder  for the money.

Kid nation 2

Values- some of the children believed that they shouldn't kill the chickens because chickens are their friends and not food. others believe that they should kill the chickens because they need protein. they finally agreed to kill two chickens and cook them. they put the chicken into a stew and everyone got some.

society- the children working together is a society and they are split up into four different groups. the groups are green, yellow, red, and blue and they work together to get their jobs done to make the town a better place. the blue is the upper class, red is the merchants, yellow is the cooks, and green is the laborers. upper class gets $1.00, the mechants get $0.50, cooks get $0.25, and laborers get $0.10.

culture- The children have to adjust to new values while they are working to make the town a better place. They all have certain jobs to do. They have races to get jobs done to split into the four groups. The group to come in first is the upper class, the second group to cross the finish line is the merchants, third is cooks, and fourth is laborers.

On my birthday, I went to Petco with my family and i picked out a baby guinea pig. The next day my brother decided that he wanted a guinea pig, so we went back to Petco and picked out another one. We had a cage for them but they grew a lot faster than we thought so on Saturday, we went and bought them a new cage. It is a big cage and has two levels. It has a ramp that connects the two levels but they refuse to use it.

       Hi, my name is Abby. My favorite time of the year is summer. My favorite things to do in summer are swim, fish, and catch snakes. My favorite animal is a snake. Last summer I went to Black River with my brother and my grandpa, and we found two snakes. I picked them up and my grandpa told me to put them down because they were poisonous. I told him that they weren't poisonous and that they were just water snakes, so we took them home and kept them as pets.

       Now I will tell you some other things such as my favorite food, my favorite sports, and my favorite place to go on vacation. My favorite food is Chinese food. I love honey chicken from the Oriental Buffet here in Festus. I love all sports, but My favorite sports are basketball and soccer. I played basketball this year for the Festus team. I play soccer every fall before school starts for Our Lady Festus. My favorite place to go on vacation is Daytona Beach, Florida.

       I do not really like messing with computers other than to comment on posts and make power points. I don't really like typing a whole lot, I would rather text on my phone. I am not very good with computers but that is probably because I don't have a computer at home. My parents have a laptop but I use my phone for internet.

     
     

kid nation is a group of kids in the middle of nowhere. They are trying to show that kids of all ages can get together and get more organized. The older children think they can rule the town because the are bigger and stronger. the kids are splitting up into groups to to certain jobs and make money to show who is better. they are trying to prove that the younger kids can beat the older kids. they are trying to show that they can do their jobs in a small amount of time to get a big reward. they did their jobs in an hour so now they have eight restrooms instead of one. now that they have their money from doing their jobs, they have opened up a store to sell candy and soda.

Do video games make kids more violent?

picture from here

I think that some video games make kids more violent, but that doesn't mean that all video games are bad for kids. Some video games have ratings on them so its is up to the child's parent to decide if they want to let them play that game or not. Although some video games are not good for some children, some are educational and have benefits to them. Some people believe that all video games are bad, but some people including myself do believe that there are a lot of educational games that are good for little kids.

Kid Nation

power- In kid nation there are 40 kids trying to turn an old pioneer town that had been trashed into a better place in 40 days. There are no adults to help with anything. There are 4 children that are in charge to keep the other children doing their jobs. They have control over the children working in the town. They are the group of children that hold a meeting every week. They give a gold star worth 20,000 dollars to the kid who works the hardest at every meeting.

symbol- The gold star is a symbol that indicates who works the hardest at the end of each week. Everyone has a chance to win the gold star, they just have to prove that they are the hardest worker. The gold star is worth twenty thousand dollars and it shows who is capable of the most work. Some kids may be older than the others, but that doesn't mean that they are going to get the gold star. Anyone can get it whether you are the youngest or the oldest. The gold star proves who is really the strongest kid there.

manifest function- Giving the gold star to someone every week is a manifest function because they are trying to do something nice to the hardest worker. They are giving the hardest worker 20,000 dollars for coming to the city to help fix it into a nicer place. Not everyone will get a gold star, but the people who stand out to the council that are doing the best job will. Only one person will get a gold star every week.

Titanic

I like the movie Titanic because it is a powerful movie and is very touching. In the movie Rose meets Jack and they fall in love. The ship gets hit by an ice Berge and the ship starts to fill up with water. Everybody is freaking out because they now they will die if they don't get off the ship. Only some people got to get on the life boats and some did not. Everybody had to wear life jackets. The ship started sinking and the water is so cold that it hurts. A lot of people died on the ship when it sank. The ship broke in two. Jack and Rose jumped of the ship and swam to a door in the water.

Something that really annoys me is when people to annoying thing. Some things people can do that is really annoying is when they don't stop talking about the same thing over and over again.

The other thing is when my grandpa calls me all the nick names and it gets annoying when he doesn't stop. Another one is people don't stop bugging you when you want them to that gets annoying also. The other thing that really annoys me is when people don't stop singing.
Its really annoying when you tell somebody to stop doing something but they don't.
The other thing is when my other grandma calls me babe all the time and it gets annoying.

Volleyball

I play volleyball. Volleyball is the best sport you could ever play its so much fun . I play volleyball at YMCA. Volleyball is hard to play but I like it. I practice volleyball at my house. I practice my spikes, hitting the ball, and other things that we do to get better at the sport. I go home and practice volleyball with my grandma. I will be playing this summer at the Y for volleyball on the YMCA team. I went to the YMCA for open gym to practice my hits and my serves.

special

Everyone doesn't have the right to be special because if everyone was special then nobody would be special. I think he's not right because nobody is special. I think that weird people aren't special and smart people aren't special. Just because your weird or smart doesn't mean your special. Smart people may get all the attention but their like everybody else. Weird people may not get as much attention but their still the same as everybody else. I'm not smart or weird I'm just a human being so that doesn't make me special at all. Nobody is special unless you want to be special.

softball

I love playing softball because it is a great sport to play and it is fun. I will be playing softball this summer. Softball training starts this April and I'm so excited to play. Softball is like my life I love to play and I like playing on a team. I find out Friday or Saturday what team I will be on. I will either be on the 13 to 14 year old team or the high school team for twin city softball. I played softball before for 2 years. my coach the first year was amazing he was the best softball coach ever. The second year I played my coach was horrible because he didn't go to any of his teams games.

Narnia

The door I would go through is Narnia. The reason I would go through the door of Narnia is because Narnia is a wonderful place will all different species. I've seen the movie Narnia and I loved the movie so that's why I would go through the door of Narnia. Narnia seems like fun because there is this tiger that is so cute and loves the kids that are there. The half man half horse is nice to. I think Narnia is very pretty but Narnia is cold and Narnia is very snowy.

Things I will never forget

The thing I will never forget about being this age is I will never forget becoming a teenager. The other thing I will never forget about is being in seventh grade. I will never forget about how I got on the softball team at the age I am right now. The reason adults forget is because they don't their kids or grandkids to grow up so they forget about it. I will never forget get my birthday. My birthday was the best birthday ever. the other thing I will never forget at this age is my locker combination.

Micro Windmills

     Jung-Chic Chiao professor at the University of Texas created the 1.8 millimeter windmill they are so small that ten of them can fit on a single grain of rice. The tiny windmill is a mere 100 microns thick. The tiny windmill is able to withstand strong winds. It is manufactured using an extremely durable and flexible alloy. Chiao came up with this idea to power his sensors or night lights without using a giant wind turbine. Solar energy has become commonplace, harnessing wind energy.
