Dear Abby

Abby, I know you like everyone, especially my sister,
more than me
But I do deserve some credit
I feed you every morning
I play with you when I have time
I pet you when you sit near me
I even let you on the couch when mom isn't home

I no that I'm busy a lot
and sometimes your left alone
I'm sure you can't understand this
and this poem is just a waste
But it makes me as sad a weeping willow
when your run to my sister and not me

This is Just to Say

Dear, Eva
I'm guessing you wanted those jelly beans
That I just ate
Since they were hidden deep in your lunch box
I'm sure you didn't want to share
I always steal all your food
You never seem to mind
Jelly beans are your favorite though
Because they are as sweet as honey
But next time.... you should get the sour kind

?????????

I am a shiny diamond necklace
I am always there
But some times you can't see
I guide you when you don't know the way
I live an endless number of years
Yet i die like everyone else
what am I?

(Highlight below for answer)
A star

What if?

What if?
All houses and buildings were made of candy
We would always have to rebuild them because people would eat them
If it got to hot all the candy would melt and the buildings would be no more

Sci-Fi Monster " Uno"

>>>>>>>>>>>>>______Elli's Version_____<<<<<<<<<<<<

>>>>>>>>>>>>______Sean's Version______<<<<<<<<<<<<


My science fiction monster’s name is Uno because he only has one eye right in the center of his head. On top of his head there are two large horns. The horns are as red as tomatoes. There are also four miniature horns on the outside of the two larger horns. Uno’s head is as purple as a grape and is completely covered in fur. Uno’s mouth is small and round. His tongue is
completely covered in green acid. He has a tongue shaped like a snakes and is as yellow as the sun. His arms are bright orange. He has three fingers on each hand and they are webbed like frog feet. He has two curved triangle shaped wings. Each of them have three thin stripes of green going through them and is outlined in the same color green, then are blue the rest of the way through. The tail Uno has is like a dragons. It is dark blue and has green spikes along the top. Uno has two bright pink legs with dark brown splotches all over them. He only has three toes on each foot. That is what the picture of my monster Uno looks like.

Mexico!!

Guess what! I missed almost all the snow because I was in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I was in Mexico for seven days. When i was there we went into town and did a few touristy things but we mainly stayed by the pool and were thinking about how cold it was at home. One of the things we did while we were in Mexico was my sister, my mom, my grandma and me, got to swim with dolphins. The dolphin we swam with was a girl and her name was Freeda. She is eleven years old. We got to swim out into the middle of the pool and wait for her to come to us then we had to grab onto her fin and she would pull us back to where the rest of the group was. We also got to "dance" with them, which you really just hold onto their front fins and shake your body (they do most of the dancing). The last thing we did was we all went and sat on the edge of the pool and watch them do all kinds of jumps and flips, oh and I forgot to mention that there are actually about eight dolphins. I also went on a buggie tour. We went and drove through part of Mexico's desert and we got to go to an old town that only forty people live in. The last thing we did was we went snorkeling. My family and I got onto a catamaran and took a trip to a nearby beach and we snorkeled for an hour. All the fish were really colorful, my favorite fish is a parrot fish the swim so cool they flap their fins like wings! Well after we got to the hotel from snorkeling we had to go home the next day. But my trip to Mexico was awesome!

Our Claymation

Wow what to say about our claymation? Well we did our claymation on Vasco Nunez De Balboa. I chose to do my project with Eva. This entry will tell you about our experience with this project.


My favorite part of the project was doing the computer editing and molding the clay. Eva did most of the picture taking. We both molded the clay people and other things. Eva was the one who made our boat. She made it out of card board paper and toothpicks. We had to put a clay piece behind it so it wouldn't fall over. After we used it for our second scene it's a good thing we didn't have to use it again because it got crushed in the bag we put it in. I liked putting all the pictures on the computer. Adding music and dialog was the best part of that. Eva didn't like using the computer it never agreed with her.

One of the most difficult things for me was taking pictures. Every time I took pictures for our scene at least three of the pictures was blurry. Sometimes the sun outside the window would also go behind a cloud and the lighting of the picture would change. Another difficult part of this project was making the boat. Eva eventually made the real boat but I attempted it first. My boat would not stand up for more than twenty seconds. The sails kept falling off, they were so flimsy. One of the hard parts (it wasn't that hard) was molding the clay. The only hard thing to make out of clay was the dog because every leg and the head had to have toothpicks through the middle. It was also the size of all the people.

The most important things I learned in this project were how to really use iMovie. Before we started this project I knew how to use iMovie because I did a project with it in sixth grade. When we started this project I had forgotten some of the things I knew in sixth grade. Throughout our whole project I did most of the computer work. So eventually I remembered most of the stuff about iMovie. Another thing I learned in this project was how to mold people and other things out of clay. Learning how to make people and boats and other things out of clay was a good thing to learn. It was difficult to figure out how to make them just right so they would stand and stay standing. After awhile you just know which way to bend the person to make it balance out. That is what I learned doing this project.
