In all grade levels the subjects you learn are mostly math, reading, writing, etcetera, and all of those are okay to learn but besides subjects, I want to thank a very important teacher and that teacher is the one and only Mrs. Hulburt. She has taught me so much since 3rd grade. Like in the beginning of 3rd grade I was reading books like Magic Tree House, Junie B. Jones, that is until Mrs. Hulburt came along and after that I was reading Harry Potter books. In math she taught me to multiply and divide and now it’s a piece of cake. In writing she gave me good enough advice that I got commended performance. I hope you 3rd graders are thankful to have her as your teacher.

“Mom can you make me some scrambled eggs?” I asked with a grumbling stomach. ”Sure why not”,she said sleepy and grouchy as she did 15 minutes ago when she woke up. As her ”bad attitude” started fading away, my fast talking  gullible giggling four years old brother(who is now five) came in talking fast about the things he learned in school.And that thing was what he learned about eggs and how chicks were inside them when they were hatched. “Oh Pablo shut your big yapper!”  I thought in my mind.At the sound of breaking eggs my brother turned pale.CHICKY DIED! He screamed.”Pablo it’s okay Chicky will be going to chick farm heaven.At that moment he stopped his whining and peace was restored once again.

Summer is a great for time for kids (and adults like my teacher). But it isn’t a great time when someone takes you away or you just wonder off and and get lost. So I recommend when you go somewhere to tell your parent or some adult you are with where you are going and make sure an adult or some one older is with you.

VROOM! If your a race car fan you might want to see Speed Racer. It tells about a boy who loves to race. If you want to see this race car in action, race into theaters May 9 2008.

After a powerful massive tornado hits Greensburg (a town in Kansas) the town decides to go green to help the environment. If you want to help the earth go green to help the environment and your town/city will be a safe place to live.

Well that’s it for this week folks. See you next time. Hope you read and comment.

VROOOOOOOM! are the only sounds you hear my brother make during the play time that he has after school or on the weekends. You see, my brother is a huge fan of monster trucks and plays with them all the time when he gets the chance. One of my greatest memories of this is the time he made a funny looking car figure that was made out of a mattress that I don’t know where it came from. There were sheets hanging down, (and as I have mentioned in all my stories,he had the help of someone but this time he had no help). There were also four crates that held up the mattress and I guess they were to be the wheels for the ”race car.” And last but not least I saw my brother pretending to be driving it with a bycicle helmet on his head. Oh well, I guess I can’t change who he is but I can knock some sense into him.

My brother. My strange strange brother.

It all started on a horrible hot summer day, and as you know, everybody loves ice cream. Including my brother. My brother had always loved the ice cream man and his job since the day my brother had met the ice cream man for the first time. But that day my brother took it a step forward with the help of my sister.

“ICE CREAM GET YOUR ICE CREAM!” My sister was howling like those crazy monkeys at the zoo,while my brother followed behind with his wagon full of ice cream and bowls. Just as the ice cream man came around the corner he seemed to get a sneak peek of my brother making change of all coins all just for ice cream. The next day seemed to be like a competition for my brother and the ice cream man of them because from the corner of their firing raging eyes they seemed to be glaring at each other as if one were going to explode from anger.

The next day was also the same. All the kids from the neighborhood  finally got to the breaking point where they stopped buying from both of them. When it was about 6:00 the 3rd day my brother learned his lesson which was never to take a job from someone who does it very well.

Disney Land what’s that? The words were spinning in my head like a powerful tornado. Then we were there I didn’t need to wonder anymore at that sight anyone there could obviously tell it was an amusment park. You see, my aunt, cousins, sisters,and I were here at Disney Land for the first time.

“OMG its Pluto maybe we’ll get his autogragh,” I stated. Now here is the question I have been waiting to ask you. Do have a little brother or sister or maybe even someone younger than you? If you do, you’re lucky they didn’t do this. As we reached Pluto my sister yanked the innocent dog’s tail. “Amanda let go!” I pulled the tail away when all of a sudden people started pointing and staring at the two of us. Pluto then turned around and yanked his tail back. Oh well I guess thats the way the cookie crumbles.

HELP ME! The Polar Bears always seem to cry every time a piecee of ice melts away. If we don’t change the way we live, studies show that in less than 10 years the North Pole might be underwater! One way to help is when you leave the house make sure you turn off ALL the lights.

In other news if you haven’t seen the Alvin and the chimpmunks you MUST see it.The movie tells of 3 chimpunks named Alvin, Simon,and Theodore, who let me tell you are amazing singers.But thats enough of that about that if you want to know more you can get it on DVD April 1st.

Books, books, books.Time for book talk. Our book for the week is called Game by Walter Dean Myers. The book is about a black basketball player named Drew Lawson. When a white teammate gets all the coach’s attention Drew has to adjust. Well there you have come back next week for more news.

On the first day of April, I was gifted with the ”The April Fool’s Brother.” His name was Pablo, and when my parents first brought him home he sure looked like a little prankster to me. As a matter of fact, just when he turned 3 thats when the pranks began. One prank I remember very well actually happened on a Christmas Morning in Chicago, but hold on I think I got to carried away, lets go back to that sneaky morning shall we?

“BRRRR, it sure is cold that the snow might freeze me to death”, I stammered while my teeth were shivering so hard that they might break. So my aunt and my cousin Chris also  agreed it was time to come inside and just as we walked up the steps to enter the house, I remembered that the day before, I saw my sooo not sane cousin Allen teaching my brother how to freeze ice to make people slip. And of course knowing my brother he would probably freeze the ice. After that flashback, I was about to yell at the top of my lungs to watch their step but nothing came out of me exept some giggles incase they fell and ended up hurt. OOOWWW! Oh well, too late they fell. Later that same day Chris gave me the thanks for the bruise look. “Look Chris, I didn’t do it was all Pablo’s fault. Allen is the one who taught him how to freeze ice. Then all of a sudden the little joker walked in admitting the truth. FINALLY, case closed. My brother, is always the April Fool’s brother.

”Dreams and wishes,wishes and dreams,” the wizard said with a wink.”You’ll never know how they’ll turn out in the end.When Jubal’s (bull frog) happy day on a picnic starts to become a nightmare, he bumps into a wizard who grants him a wish (that would make Gerdy’s house clean, the todlets to behave, and the captain have his adventures again). That gloomy day starts to become a dream come true for Jubal.

This book makes me think about the TAKS test that we had on March 5, because the morning of the TAKS, some of us were scared. But after the test we felt like we did a good job. I think people should read this book because sometimes your having a bad day, but at the end of the day something great happens just like it happened to Jubal.

Why me, why me?!?! I kept asking myself on the day of the Mock. My heart started to pound, my body froze, and I was so nervous that it felt like the sun was sitting on my head trying to melt my brain. And also just to be clear, my reaction when I found out about the Mock wasn’t as pleasing as now while Mrs. Hulburt (teacher) was passing out the tests.

“Why me,why me?”I  whispered in a hushed tone. When she was finished passing out the nerve wracking tests and started  reading the directions, I felt like I wanted to run out of the class, ditch  Edgemere, buy a ticket, and become an outlaw in oh I don’t know, Canada. But let’s stop the mind bobbling thoughts and finish talking about that poor helpless 4th grader who had to take the Mock.

”You may begin,” Mrs. Hulburt said. PULL YOUR SELF TOGETHER GIRL! I howled inside my head. Okay, here we go, question #1. Hey this is a piece of cake. As I zoomed through the rest of the questions, I was thinking about what my prompt was going to be. After publishing my piece, I was done with the test.

March 5, 2008, we will be taking the real TAKS test. Well at least I get to say, “Why me why me?” a second time only to surprise myself that I had I passed again!
