Catalina Island, by Betzy

Have you ever been to Catalina Island? Read my post below and find out more about it.

My classmates and I are going on this amazing field trip to Catalina Island. I want to go very badly, because we get to go snorking, kayaking, and experiment with sea animals.

It's going to be so fun but the only thing is that my mom won't let me go. I told her that I want to go so bad, so my mom has to make a choice. She is a little nervous about me going.

Catalina Isalnd is a small island that is really cool to go. Hope I have fun over there!!!

You should go to Catalina Island because it looks like really cool place to visit.

Tweety Bird

Tweety Bird is my favorite cartoon character.

Tweety Bird is on Looney Toons. I like Tweety Bird because he's cute. At first I thought Tweety was a girl, but, I found out that he was a boy. I also like Tweety Bird because he's yellow and yellow is a happy color.

Tweety Bird was made in 1942. It's funny when he gets chased by Sylvester because when he gets away, Tweety always says "That's a bad putty tat!" sometimes Tweety says " I TAUT I TAW A PUDDY TAT!"

Tweety is very cute.

The play of Juan Jose: by Edith

The play "American Night: The Ballad of Juan Jose" is about an immigrant that is trying to pass the test to get his citizenship. But at the same time his dad does not want him to pass because he says that he is a traitor and he has to stay as Mexican as he is. Juan Jose wants to get his citizenship and with no violence. He wants to have good life raising his baby with his wife.

The part that really made an impression on me was when they showed us how white people could be so racist to blacks and Mexican people. They even showed a sign that said: "no dogs, negros or Mexicans" and they showed us how they treated them.

Juan Jose had to study flash cards about the history of important peolpe. Then people were asking him why he wanted to get his citizenship if white people didn't want him in their country. Juan Jose didn't listen to them and kept on going.

At the end he had to say the three branches of the government and the thrirteen colonies. Juan Jose was so happy because he passed the test and became a citizen.

The Truth About Pit Bulls, By A.O.

Pit Boss is a T.V. show on Animal Planet.

Pit Bosses are people--who are actually midgets--who rescue only pit bulls. I have asked people why they like Pit Boss and they say because of the little people. I told them that wasn't a reason.

I like Pit Boss because it is so amazing what people of short stature can do.

People think that pit bulls are dangerous, but they aren't dangerous, they are actually some of the friendliest kinds of dogs. It is their owners that teach them to be dangerous.

The media makes us think that pit bulls are dangerous and violent. Pit bulls are not dangerous I love pit bulls, and just because some pit bulls are bad that doesn't mean that they all are .Give them a chance AND DON'T JUDGE A DOG BY WHAT PEOPLE SAY!.

Team Edward or Jacob? By:Ricki

Do you like vampires or werewolves? I love vampires. I don't like werewolves, they're just sweaty dogs that are as big as bears.

Vampires are better, like Edward in the movie Twilight, they have a power. They're really strong, and run really fast. Bella, Edward's girlfriend is lucky to have him.

Werewolves like Jacob, just turn into big wolves, have short tempers, and attack vampires. It really gets on my nerves. And Jacob just gets mad because Bella doesn't want him. It's stupid. I would love to be with a vampire and be with Edward every day. To sparkle in the sunlight and play vampire baseball. I would be a good vampire, not evil. Jacob is just jealous that no one wants him.

So after all that stuff about vampires and werewolves, what team are you, Team Edward or Jacob?

Why I Shuffle by Alyssa

Do you shuffle? Well I do and keep reading and find out why I started shuffling.

Well first off if you don’t know what shuffling is, it’s a type of dance that is really famous. I started shuffling about four months ago when I saw my friend shuffling.

There’s one thing I love about shuffling….. The music. I love the music because the beats are mind attracting. Shuffling is hard to explain but to me it’s like running in place and just having fun.

When I hear a fast techno beat I start to shuffle. When I shuffle I relive stress and anger. Shuffling makes me happy and makes me feel good.

I shuffle because it became a hobby and I love to do it. If you never done it and want to learn how to then go to YouTube and search shuffling tutorials, or how to shuffle.

Everyone can shuffle!!

My Niece By: Veronica

I have the cutest niece in the world.

I have a niece named Autumn. she was born September 1st, 2010 at Grossmont hospital.

Autumn is very cute. she knows how to walk and kind-of talk. her favorite song is someone like you by Adele. Autumn always sings it when she hears it. she only knows two words, which are "like you" it's very funny when she sings.

Autumn likes to talk to people. sometimes we don't understand her. She likes playing peek-a-boo, tag, and call of duty. she never wins. but she still kind-of plays. she just keeps holding the A button. then my brothers kill her on the game. Autumn is a very playful little girl.

Autumn is very sweet and funny. this is my first time being an aunt. it's hard sometimes but very
fun.

Valentines Day: by Jacob

I like valentines day because I think its about love, peace and happiness. Another reason is because it is a time to make friends. Some people think its about having a girl or boyfriend.

I think it's not about romance because you don't need romance to live. You need your family and friends. I buy chocolate on Valentine's Day for a girl I like.

I give my mom a card I make by hand. My older brother, who doesn't live at home, makes my mom a card too.

This year, I had a Valentine's Party. My friends and I had one at my apartment. There was music, food and lots of people. It was really fun.

The Maze Runner by Josh

Imagine not remembering anything, not your family,or friends, not even your last name. The only thing you can remember is your "name". That's what happened to Thomas right now.

This book is really good. It's not the the best book, but it will keep you reading. It's about the future and the world was destroyed by a disease and WICKED (World In Catastrophe Kill zone Experiment Department) is trying to find a cure by testing teenagers have to escape the maze to find a cure. This book is about being curios , trusting, having friends. that's what the book is about.

I believe you should read all 3 of the books. It's just keeps you reading. you should recommend this book to read The Maze Runner.

My Future Tattoos by Alyssa

When I get older I want a few tattoos.
I’ve always wanted a particular one though….. Keep reading and find out what I want a tattoo of and were I want it.

A year ago I sat down and watched my uncle get a tattoo of his last name on his forearm. Ever since then I’ve been into tattoos.

I want a tattoo on my lower back that says “love” surrounded by roses. I also want a tattoo on my side that says my friends motto, “loved by few hated by many respected by all” and on my other side the saying, “letters start with A B C, numbers start with 1 2 3, music starts with Do-Re-Mi, and love starts with you and me”, and on my wrist I want it to say my quote “Forever loved.”

Those are the tattoos I’ve dreamed of getting ever since I sat down and watched my uncle get his tattoos. For me every single tattoo I want has a special meaning.

Steel Drum Band By Elia

I play in the Steel Monarchs. The best part about playing steel drums is when we go out on gigs and play in front of people.

I also like how when we go out on gigs we meet nice people. Sometimes we even meet people that we did know a long time ago.

Also, the stuff that they give us at the gigs you can tell that they appreciate that we are there. Every gig that we go to we get $25. That is why I like steel drums. I played the steel drums for six years on and off. It is very cheerful and it raises your soul.

PS. The steel drums are from Trinadad so if you see one you can inqurie about that.

And later then he saves a lady's life because she was gonna throw herself from a bridge but he stops her and gives her reasons why she shouldn't commit suicide.And then the lady gives him thanks and lets him be the president of a company named AVON so then he gets out of poverty and gets rich.

And later then he gets to know a lady named Rebeca and they go out.

Well thats it. It's still not over so if you want to see it go ahead: Televisa chanel 57 at 8:30pm.

I Love Music, By: Jacob

I like music because it brings out my emotions and energy.

Another reason I like it is because there are all kinds of music. There is rap, hip-hop, blues, rock, and many other kinds too.

My favorite is rap and hip-hop. I listen to music everyday, when I listen to it I want to sing, sing, and sing. My favorite artist is Emenim because I like the rhythm and beats in his music. My favorite song is "Loose Yourself." I like that song because it makes me get ready for the day.

If you don't like music you should, because its fun to listen to.

My Surgery - Noelley (:

I was born with a growth on my vocal chords. Once or twice a year I have to have surgery.

When I was only 15 months old, my mom found out that have R.R.P.

I had my frist surgery, when I was 16 months old.

Basically, "R.R.P" is little tumors on my vocal chords. They put me to sleep and put a camera down my thorat and laser my tumors off. The good thing is every surgery is mostly 20 or 30 minutes long and my voice always changes. I like that. So far I have had 15 surgeries and until this day I'm still scared to go have surgery. R.R.P means is recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.

My last surgery was Jan.23, 2012 and my docter tells me everytime I go that my throat is getting better and I'm getting bigger.

This might seem like a big deal for me to go through, but I'm already used to it. I'm happy my mom found this out when I was little because if she didn't, my throat tumors will close up my throat and I wouldn't be able to breathe

I could also get cancer easy. So I have to make sure, I have these surgeries.
