Frankenstein

Yesterday (May,22,2008) the whole fourth grade went to Carlsbad Caverns. It was so awesome seeing the Lions Tail and the Witches Finger. First of all what we all need to learn what’s pretty made up of it Stalagmites and Stalagtites ,and how they form is water (rain, snow, sleet and hail) sinks into the ground and picks up carbon dioxide, so when those two mix they make acid and the acid melts away the the rock and the caverns form. Again water gets through the the ground and starts dripping in the cave and as the water drips it collects minerals and then minerals keep building up, and up,and up until a Stalagtite forms. Guess what, it takes 72 years to make a stalagtite the size of your finger nail.

As for the bat flight it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. One bat comes out then two bats come out then thousands of bats come out. At first when I saw the first hundred fly out I thought that was it but then thousands and thousands of bats flew out . I highly recomend you see both the bat flight and the caverns one day.

I’m joining a summer league basketball team (The Warriors) which is really exciting to me. The only thing that isn’t exciting to me is the practice. The practice is 2 hours (which means I won’t get home till 9 or later) long of non stop basketball. Pretty much what we have to do is run 10 laps around the court, layups, passing drills, and then at the end of practice we have a game against the older kids on our team. To me the worst thing of all is running in your spot and going from side to side touching the ground. They make us do all this stuff to learn how to condition ourselves and to get us to move quicker. Even though it’ll be a lot of hard work I’m looking forward to it.

I think that not only 4th graders should have blogs but 2nd, 3rd,and 6th because you get to have a computer response group. There also fun because you get to comment to each other and give each other pro’s and con’s about there writing and give your suggestions to them personally I like the comments best. I think 2nd and 6th graders wouldn’t really do the blogging. All the would is say “hi” or “what’s up” to each other. So plainly what I’ve said is that I do recommend blogs, but I want to know if you do.

Harry in going into his fifth year of Hogwarts in this novel.  Harry and his friends create an army to fight evil. Harry is able to predict what is going on or what will happen by the dreams he is having.  Harry learns in this book that in the end only he or Voldemort will live.  I wonder if either Harry or Voldemort will live in the end because they are both very powerful and neither one has died yet. I am hoping that Harry wins in the end because he is trying to make things good in his world and Voldemort is bringing evil to the world.  I recommend this book because it mixes in magic, real life and shows what true friendship is about between two people.  

Guess what I am moving!!!! My mom and I have decided to move to the eastside of town. We thought this would be better because of my after school activities and not getting home until 7:00 at night. Since we were living so far (northeast) we had to make dinner the night before and heat it up at school and eat at school. Another reason why we are moving is because I will be closer to my friends and be able to play with them more often. My most favorite reason for moving is that I will get to wake up later then I usually do now.

At first I wasn’t very happy about moving because my dog Ollie is buried here and I didn’t want him to be alone. I realized that he is never alone because he is in “dog” heaven, plus my memories of him are in my heart. After looking at the good and bad points about moving I realized I did want to move and am happy and excited about moving.

Have you ever rode a motorcycle? Well, I have had the chance to do it. First of all, you need to make sure you wear a helmet, gloves, long pants, and correct shoes (like tennies or boots, but not flip-flops). Then the fun begins to happen. You get on the motorcycle the person driving it starts to ride and from then on it is a great feeling. When I was on the motorcycle it felt good because you are not enclosed but you are in a wide open space. It feels good with the wind pushing against your face although you may get cold the rush of riding overtakes all other feelings. I was lucky enough not to get any bugs in my teeth or birds in my face . If you ever get the chance to take a ride on a motorcycle my advice is don’t get scared and GO FOR IT!!!!!

Have you ever gotten a professional massage before? Well I have. The person I go to starts off with doing your back. It feels so good your back getting pressed down and rubbed, and feeling the cool creamy lotion getting rubbed against your back. What’s next is my favorite part your arms! It feels so good him tightening your arm then slowly pushing down his hand. What he does next is your legs he pretty much does the same thing he did to your legs as your arms, pushes your leg down and his hand goes down your legs. Then he does is your feet! He pushes down and moves his fingers all around. It feels marvelous. The final thing he does is your face. He makes his hands real hot then puts it on your face. It feels great! So pretty much I love it all. I highly recommend you get one.

Have you ever achieved a most awesome, super, exciting goal in READING??? Well I almost have. It’s for my schools highest certification goal. That certification goal is called Honors Readers. It’s when you have to read books from a list of books the school made, and they don’t care how much books you read, you just have to get 100 A.R. points with the books you read. I’m on my last book for 100 A.R. points and I’ve read already 5 books from the list! So do have a goal for reading?

This is what my dog Ollie looked like.

This weekend my mom went out of town to Albuquerque since I was with my dad this weekend.  On Friday we went to dinner at the State Line because my dad’s birthday was that week.  We had ribs, brisket, and a brownie and ice cream for dessert. After the dinner we went to my cousin’s house, then went to our house to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks, and then went to bed.  Saturday we woke up, had breakfast together and went to my cousin’s football game.  My dad, my cousin, and I went to lunch to Burger King.  When we got back to our house we hung out awhile and then my dad and I went to dinner at Great American Steak House.  We had steak, baked potatoes, bread, and coleslaw.  After dinner we went to our house and fell asleep soon after.  Sunday we woke up and went for a walk on Resler and then went to lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant.  We then went back to the house to rest and relax.  We then drove to my house with my mom.  Thanks dad for a great weekend, I love you.
