June 9,2014 I would like to say bye to the pen pals. I would like to thank you because you help me be better at talking to other people. At first I didn't know what to talk about but I finally became comfortable to talk to a pen pal. I will be going to eighth grade next year and you got me ready to write and comment for that grade. I learned that I have a lot of mistakes and I should reread my work. Well thank you for preparing me for next year. I hope that you have a great summer and also a great year next year.

My best- The worst memory that I have with my siblings is when my brother didn’t want to ride my sister and I around the block in a wagon. Instead of walking around and carrying the handle he connected the wagon and the string together and tied the string to both the wagon and bike. Well it was all working at first until we were going down the street to fast. There was too much weight inside the wagon and it was going fast. My brother was using my bike, which had no brakes to it. We were about to crash into a car so my brother turn and my sister and I flew out the wagon. I had a big scratch all down my leg. It was hurting so bad. Even worst than that my sister fell on top of me and the wagon. I was in so much pain I couldn’t even move. Then there was a car coming so we all had to move out the way for it. My brother didn’t get hurt he was still riding his bike around the block like he didn’t notice that we fell. When he finally notice that the wagon and us weren’t there he got into a lot more trouble than us trying to think that was a good plan. That was the worst memory with my siblings.

My average- “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera.The meaning of the song is that what matter what people say it doesn’t matter to the person. The person doesn’t matter what people say mostly. The song is telling us that everyone is beautiful and don’t care what people say. The message is doesn’t matter what people think of you it’s what you think about yourself. That message should be important for people that feel lonely. When people think about themselves and see all the good in them they will realize that they are beautiful. That is mostly the message of the song. The songs shows that you don't need to be beautiful by the face your beautiful the way you are. I am beautiful. That's what I think about myself and I don't care what people say. So are many other people. That is the message of the song.

My worst- If I had three wishes my first wish is to make every one middle name Kalifah. I would do that because Kalifah is just that cute. My second wish would be that I turn into a real queen. The last wish would be changing my last name to Kalifah. I would want everyone first name to be Kalifah, but I want to make everyone names the same. I would want to be the queen because that means everyone has to bow down to me. My last wish I love to have Kalifah in my name again. Kalifah to me is just pretty.

Scene 1

Ms. Butler: Hi Mr. Tidy (She smiles)

Tidy: Hello Ms. Butler (Tidy waves at her)

Ms. Butler: I’m going to go to the first period for my students.

Ms. Butler: I’m a P.E. teacher for seventh grade. I help people get the exercise they need and get up and ready for the world. I walked into the locker room for the girls and it was vandalize. The only two people who were in the room was Tina and

Tina (a student): It was Lauren fault she is the one they drew all over the walls and made a mess on the floor. Also she put paint all over the floor. (She said with shock)

Lauren: No I didn’t I just accidently put red paint on the floor because I dropped my art supplies. (Arguing with what Tina said)

Ms. Butler: Just tell me what all happen to make this big mess. (With her hands on her hips)

Scene 2 Tina: I went to get my P.E. clothes and I saw Lauren drawing on the walls and painting the floor. I dropped my clothes over there to stop her. She put paint all over my face and I was so upset. I started yelling and she covered my mouth with tape. I took the tape off my face and told her that I’m going to tell Mr. Tidy our principal. She told me that I not going anywhere. All of a sudden you came in the room. That is the story of why the place looks like this. (Tina says all sad)

Ms. Butler: Now tell me your story (she hollered at Lauren)

Lauren: I was already inside of the locker room and I just came from art class and I was running late to get dress. I had a bucket of red paint in my backpack for art class. Tina never liked me so when she saw me in a room alone she tried to start a fight. I had to zip up my backpack to but I didn’t have time to so I took out my paint. Tina pushed me and I fell on the ground with the paint. The walls were all spray-painted because she wanted people to think that I made a the mess. That is what happened for real. Scene 3

Ms. Butler: Everyone calm down we will figure this out but I’m going to have to call your parents because this isn’t right.

Tina: Don’t please don’t! I’m sorry their going to take everything away from me please don’t. I’m sorry Lauren but stop no! (Dramatic Pause)

March 25,2014 My name is Ms. Butler. As a teacher like me I have to do everything in my power to help my students get a better grade. First of all, I have to wake up in the morning at 5:50 am. I have to get up and make sure that I checked all of my student’s grades of what they did and what they didn’t do. I teach seventh grade kids. Check all of the homework for the students. I’m a Physical Education teacher. I help students get their nutrients and energy to help him get up and ready for. I need to help the kids get in shape if their not.

Usually when I’m done making sure that the kids turn in their homework and did exercise I have to make breakfast. I eat apples, eggs, and pancakes to help me feel good. I get ready for the day and head off to my job. I sign in and I make my way to the locker room for the girls. We do seven things in the year for P.E. The students learn basketball, baseball, soccer, rugby, golf, hockey, and tether ball. On every Friday we do an activity to keep the kids happy and ready to do exercise. In first period I let the kids do a jog around the field because they might be a little sleepy. Then we start our activity and some students will want to play and some people don’t so I take them out of the class and go to a different one. I drop their grade when they don’t want to do their work. It’s part of life for students to do their work. I hear a lot of the students talk about me and say they don’t really like me. In second period we do the same thing but I like to mix it up so I don’t need to say the same thing over and over again because sometimes it gets annoying. Mostly I change it up by telling them we play this and change to a different game. It keeps the kids wanting to exercise and do more in life. In advisory and sixth period I’m off I usually relaxed and put the kids grades in because they don’t know how to act sometimes. I eat my food and I’m ready to go to my next class.

For my last period I get tired and worn out and the kids look like that too. So sometimes I give them a break so they don’t have to work that much. When that period is over I have to clean up all of the equipment because they don’t have nothing left to do and I don’t want the school to be dirty. I talk to some parents and see why their kid has their grade and sometimes it gets a little loud between the parent and I because they don’t under stand why I make their kid fail or have a bad grade. I tell them that it’s a part of like and they need to put effort into it because then they will start not playing that well. All I’m trying to do is help kids get in shape but some parents don’t understand that. When I’m done talking to the parent I have to check my email and see what I have to do. I talk to parents on the email and everywhere. I have to also help the kids because they ask about their grade and they want to know why they have their grade I have to tell them what they tell their parents I get annoyed.

Finally I walk to the office and see what’s going on and see if there is anything new in the kid’s daily life or if there is a big issue out of the teachers. I know that the teachers need help from me because I get a lot of comments from advisory and study skills because they want to know why their grade is what they have now. I mostly get angry because some students make a mess in the locker rooms.

One of the girls said, “ I didn’t do it, it was all of the other girls fault because she made me spill my chips and my lunch.

“No,” the student Tina said.

“ Yeah you did and now we are both in trouble because you don’t know how to hush your mouth,” said Lauren.

“You’re the one that doesn’t know how to shush your mouth you need to go back to first grade,” said Tina.

“Stop, stop now I don’t have room for this drama in my life,” I hollered.

“Have respect Lauren because you don’t have any left,” said Tina.

I have to help my students get better because they need it. This is so confusing so I have to make both girls clean up the room even though only one. If people don’t tell me the truth I have to make both girls get in trouble if they didn’t want to get in trouble why did they start all this mess. Now I have to tell parents about what happen and what is the issue between both of them. I hope the girls learn from their lesson and start telling the truth. As I called their parents they both started crying.

“Tina I’m sorry I didn’t mean to make this go this far,” said Megan.

“I’m sorry too this is too much. I’m going to get my phone taken away and my parents are going to be so made at me,” cried Tina.

“This is going to be the worst!” hollered Megan.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

The article " India's fight against leprosy undercut by fear " is about how people are trying to fight leprosy. Many people try to hide that they have leprosy so they won't be an outcast but ends up getting injured even more than they already are. Leprosy is a infectious disease that lies quietly in people because people don't want to be an outcast. The new patients have drop 10 million since 1991. That was lower than the last time people came in. People still hide their disease so people won't think of them the wrong way. Some people get numb and get hurt from the disease. A lot people fingers come off because of it. India is trying to find a cure for the disease so people won't hide it. That is what the article was about.

Today I learned on Photoshop is how to use the free transform. That was pretty difficult because I didn’t understand it at first. Also I learned about the history. Nikki was helping me out but then she did something and I didn’t know how to erase it so I just use the history to help me out. This has been really interesting but I always have to get some help or I help someone else out. I think it was fun cropping the pictures and coping and pasting.

Dallas Winston is dangerous. Dally is dangerous in many ways.First of all, “Dally had spent three years on the wild side of New York and had been arrested at the age ten.” He is dangerous because in the book it said, “I used to like to draw his picture when he was in a dangerous mood, for then I could get his personality down in a few lines.” Ponyboy is telling that Dally is the most dangerous out of the greasers. “He was tougher than the rest of us tougher, colder, meaner.”

Dally is has a reputation. “He had been arrested, he got drunk, he rode in rodeos, lied, cheated, stole, rolled drunks, jumped small kids.” It was cold how he jumped small kids that couldn’t stand up to him. “Dally blew off steam in gang fights.” Everyone had to respect Dally. “Cold with hatred of the whole world.” Dally was a real character of the grease from being cold. “Dally went around trying to break laws.” Dally is dangerous to some people. When Dally and Ponyboy were talking to Cherry and Marcia he started off bad and got rude. “You ought to see my record sometime, baby.” Then Dally tried to put his arm around Cherry. Cherry kept on tell him to leave her alone. “Please leave us alone, Cherry said.”' He was being rude and disrespectful for not leaving her alone. That shows how he is dangerous and cold he is.

November 7,2013  One day there was a kid name Kevin Clone.‍‍ He had big glasses, tall, black hair, brown eyes, and love mystery books‍‍. He always walks home wit</range id="467143364_4">h his two best friends, Khloe and Henry. While he was walking home one day he went into one of the town’s old churches. He found his mother there. “Um is that you mom?” he muttered. She just kept on walking pretending that she didn’t hear a word that he said.

‍‍“Mom!” screamed Kevin‍‍.

“Oh, you scared me I didn’t know you go to this church you usually go to the new church on Fifth Avenue,” <range type="comment" id="467143364_5">She</range id="467143364_5"> said. Kevin was too busy to listen to his mother because he was making weird faces at a picture of an old painting that was staring at him. He was looking at the painting and told his mother that it looked like a <range type="comment" id="467143364_6">vile</range id="467143364_6"> lady.

“Annabella was vile when she was younger, but I’m glad that she has died for what she did to the people in the town,” she said.

“What did she do to this town?” asked Kevin.

His mother didn’t answer, but told him to look at some of the books about her. Kevin was so curious that he actually read every single thing in the town about Annabella. He didn’t have time for his friends or his only little sister that he had. It got even worse when he started to read more and more about her and got distraught and paid no attention to school at all. While Kevin was reading he started to realize that Annabella is <range type="comment" id="467143364_7">fiend</range id="467143364_7"> to her family. <range type="comment" id="467143364_8">Then</range id="467143364_8"> one day in fall he heard something that he never heard before in his house. He heard a sound saying get out of my town or I will make you Kevin. Kevin was scared he heard the dreadful noise of Annabella. Her ghastly words echo in his head. Kevin ran to the door and went straight to his friend’s house since Khloe and Henry were brother and sister. He rang the doorbell about ten times and Khloe finally open the door and didn’t want to talk to Kevin because he hadn’t talked to them in three weeks. “I’m sorry. I just had the worst day of my life and I need you to help me,” he said. Khloe finally said sorry and was friends with him again and also Henry was sorry. When Kevin told them everything they didn’t believe him and laugh. They both called him crazy for thinking the way he was thinking. So Kevin had to take matter to his own hands. Kevin tries to talk to the ghost and she talked back to him and he was spasm. His friends came to his house and told him that they heard the noise too. All of them went to the graveyard and told her to stop talking to them, but Annabella said she just wants to be normal again. Annabella said it was the entire town peoples fault for killing her. “Now you kids I’m going to kill next,” she said. The kids all started running to the old church and Annabella found them. Kevin went on the roof of the church that was about 50 feet tall building. The church had many rooms and layers. Annabella got closer and Kevin got on the rim of the church roof and Annabella smiled and pushes him off the roof. Kevin died in the bushes. Annabella started doing her cruel laugh. If Annabella didn’t know, ghost come if they had unfinished business. Kevin came back to life, but as a ghost and wrestle with Annabella and her business was done and Kevin was just wrestling himself. Kevin was sad that he would never see his family again, but at least he said bye to his friends and he made history. The story of Kevin lived on and his funeral had more than two hundred people around the world because they heard the story. If there is ever another ghost that come you can always count on a kid that only had two friends in his life.
