Monkeys are Ugly, by:Julianna

I think monkeys are weird because they pick eachothers lice and eat it.

Vans (OFF THE WALL) By Elia

Vans are beast shoes; they are really good for skating and I jerk in them.

I think that Vans are really good shoes because they are really durable. They can last in the rain and when they get wet they don't soak. Well, it depends what type you have.

I have Vans (half calf) and Vans (Dollin) I really like them both. When I was playing Skate It--it is a video game where you can actually skateboard-- I made this tight trick and then I got sponsored (on the game, not in reality) and I had to choose if I wanted (Baker) or (Vans) and I chose Vans.

Ever since then, I haven't picked any other brand of shoes.

I like Vans, you should too!

FUN 4 ALL by Juan D.

We are going on a field trip to Fun 4 All. It's in Chula Vista right by the freeway.

It doesn't look fun becuase the place is very small.

There's going to be racing cars and boats in a pool and I am going to try to jump in the pool to stay fresh.

Then we are going to have pizza at Fun4 aAll and Mr. Wright is going to buy it for us. He is our etiquette teacher.

I think it is going to be boring becuase it is small and the things you can do don't look like that much fun.

Instead of walking there we will take the trolley and walk 8 blocks instead,

Modeling - Noelley'(:

Modeling is really harsh on you and your body. I love modeling most of the time, but sometimes I don't because it is harsh on your body. Or you are told to lose wieght and watch what you eat. That's really hard to do. I tried to do it a little -- they asked me to lose an inch but I have only been able to lose half an inch frm my hips and chest. It's alot harder than I thought it would be.

Mostly they want you to be skinny but not very skinny and they like tall pretty young ladies.

I didn't want to do it until I got the scholarship to do it. That means they pay for everything--pedicures, manicures, pictures or anything else I need to model.

The head of the agency asked me to stop waxing my eyebrow's, dying my hair and lose weight.

I'm not sure I want to do that but I have to do all of this before December 20th to get into the right shape. If I don't, I lose the scholarship. I'm not sure I want to this, if it means I have to change myself so much.

It's a lot different then I thought it would be. It's not fun and it's a lot of work.

TRASH by: Jacob

Trash is good and bad. Trash is good because when you recycle you get money.

You can also make art with trash to entertain people.

Trash is bad because when you don't recycle you create a problem: what to do with all the garbage? You kill the world. Another reason why trash is bad? It stinks.

Please don't litter. Litter kills!!!!

Santa Claus By: Alexus.(:

People love Santa Claus, but to me he is just weird and I'll tell you why.

First it's weird how he comes in through your chimney in the middle of the night and gives you presents. Or if you've been bad, all you get is coal in your stocking.

I wonder how a man his size can fit through a small little chimney. Also he gives children gifts, and in return all he wants is milk and cookies. I know that when I was a little kid the thought of a man going down my chimney and giving gifts under my tree scared me. And that song where it goes like "he sees you when your sleeping, he knows when your awake" was just a little strange, and definitley strange.

But if this Santa guy really is real, than it is very kind and thoughtful of him and his elves to make gifts for kids all over the world. So maybe this Santa Claus isn't so bad after all. (:
