Kids Have Stress Too!

by Lupita

Being a student can be very stressful. Having to do homework almost every night and having to turn it in the very next day gets very stressful. Sometimes the stress of wanting to get everything done on time makes students rush threw things and then get low scores. They rush because they want to get everything done because they are afraid of getting in trouble or yelled at. Some students might stay up late at night to finish work with in turn effects them in the next day in how they focus. There are the kids how ever that mess around during class and don’t pay attention. This may affect the people that are trying to listen and understand the lesson for the day.


Here are some tips that help me deal with my stress. Try to listen to as much or whatever you are learning for that day. Be willing to help with an example to help you understand. Do your best on forget the rest until you can get help from a teacher.

By Jon

The stress of being a student is real and if you didn’t know that see a head doctor. One thing I think causes a student to get stressed is getting a really long or hard or a long and hard assignments like getting a packet with 65-80 problems in it and they have to do the entire packet! Another reason students get stressed is that we have to do a lot of stuff for homework because when we get home is generally when we play videogames and stuff like that. One more thing that gets students stressed is the subject they’re learning about being really boring. I think that teachers should find a way to make some things in school more interesting. That ends paragraph #1.

One way to deal with the stress of being a student is when you have a long assignment and you get to a problem that you don’t know the answer to cross out the impossible answer, draw out the problem, read the problem very carefully, and if none of those help you and it’s a multiple choice question pick C because it’s been proven that in multiple choice the answer C is the right answer more often than any other answer. Another way to deal with the stress of being a student is take your time on assignments that aren’t timed assignments don’t rush if, you do rush you might put a wrong answer. The third way to deal with the stress of being a student is to ask for help if you get stuck on a problem for more than 5 minutes.

by Prestin

Students are stressed a lot. Like me I’m stressed so much that I don’t want to come to school. School is hard for me. I like school sometimes but other people don’t like it that much either. It’s not fun at all.

Like I’m at school right now and I’m not having fun. I'm at school for 7 hours a day.

The Stress of Being a Student!

by Avi

The stress of being a student is that teachers sometimes give us too much homework. Then the kids complain that they don’t want to do it. Some kids do there homework so they won’t get in trouble. Some kids just don’t do it so they get in trouble. We also get class work. Sometimes we don’t do as much but sometimes we do a lot.
And when it’s hard a lot of kids get really stressed out. I bet teachers get stressed out too when kids are like that. Teachers don’t know when to give us a lot of homework. Sometimes when kids get stressed out they pass notes or draw. But we aren’t supposed to do that. So we get in trouble. That’s one way that you won’t be stressed out.

When we get home we also have to do chores plus homework. And if we don’t do chores at home we get in trouble. And if we don’t do homework we get in trouble in school. So either way we get in trouble if we don’t do them. We need to help our parents clean the house but we still need to do our homework. But sometimes it is difficult for us. Some of our parents can’t help us do our homework. Sometimes teachers understand us and don’t give as much homework. I sometimes get stressed out at home and school. We don’t have enough time. I sometimes rush to do my homework. So I could do chores. Or sometimes I rush on my chores and then do homework. I try not to rush on my chores or homework that’s one way to get my homework and chores done.

by Emma

Students have a lot of stress in school. First we have to wake up at six-thirty or seven in the morning. School takes up six hours of our day. We have a lot of homework to do and it takes a couple hours to finish. We don’t have a long time to have fun in our own life.


The way we can deal with this is just keep going. School is important and we need to learn. Maybe we should have a little less school time. This is what I think about the stress of a student.

Student Stress

by Samantha

I think kids have a lot of stress. They worry about getting their homework done. When teachers make you write your name, date, what class you’re in it makes it harder because you have to do homework from two different classes. On each paper you have to write it different so it makes it harder for us to remember what way it goes on the paper you're doing. When it comes to homework and sports it makes everything a night mare because you have a two hour activity, and then have like three pages of homework for only one night.


One way to try to remember where to put your name is keep two different binders and already have your name in the spot and just put the date. A way to get your homework done during sports is try to do it in class if you have free time. Or if you have one day free try to do as much work for the week.

The Stress of Being a Student

by Magie

The stress of being a student is that sometimes teachers give too much homework. When teachers give to much homework kids don’t want to do it. Some kids do their homework because they want a good grade even though it’s a lot of homework. Another thing kids get stressed is that they have to do work in class. I think we should have a little bit of work in class so kids won’t get frustrated. Only sometimes we shouldn’t have to do class work most of the time we should so we can learn. But sometimes when kids get home they have to do chores then they get even more stressed. And then you have to do your homework and then you don’t get enough time to play.

Sometimes when kids are stressed or frustrated they draw in class. I think that teachers should let students draw in class only if they pay attention while the teachers talking. Or some kids pass notes while the teachers talking. A lot of kids get in trouble when they’re drawing or passing notes. Or sometimes they talk to their neighbors. I think we should get 5min of talking in class.

School Stresses Some Kids:

by Nefer

I think that we get stressed because sometimes we get a lot of homework. Sometimes we forget or we just don’t want to do it and we have to stay up late and do it. Then in class the next day we’re stressed and tired. Sometimes children get stressed because of homework.

Some stress comes from students’ parents. Some kids get stressed because their parents pressure them to get good grades, or they try to be better than everybody else. Sometimes parents pressure students to finish their homework. If students get 10 or more wrong on homework then parents pressure students to study. That is how parents make students get stressed.

I think school is the main reason students get stressed.

Homework = Stress

by Nayeli

I think that being a student is very stressful because you have to worry about a lot of things like for example: I have to do my homework! I have to go home and get my homework done or else I don’t get to see my favorite show! I have to hurry and finish this test so I don’t have any homework tonight! I have to clean my room and do all of my chores before I go to sleep so I don’t have any chores at the end of the day. Ways a teacher can help is by giving the student less homework. Students can also help by doing some of their homework on their break time (recess). The teacher can give the student some time in their class time to do their homework but sometimes that is not possible.

A student has a lot of stressful things to do. They have to get ready for school and they have a lot of homework or too much homework. I had to do a lot of homework and it took me a lot of time. I have to admit there are a lot of things that are more fun than doing your homework. When we get home we have to help our parents in the house and sometimes we don’t have enough time. Some of the teachers are cool with it. I think that the teachers should give students less homework because we rush through our homework to get it done so we can do something else but if we had less homework students would not rush. Those are the reasons that a student has a stressful time.

Destressing on the Slopes

by Jacob

It can be very stressful when you’re a student. Homework is the most stressful in my opinion. Also what really ticks me off is that some teachers don’t understand that we learn better when we have fun.

One way to eliminate the stress of school is sports. What I think is cool that our school lets us ski or snowboard one whole day. I also play baseball that lets me relax and have fun.

A Stressful Life

by Aly

Sometimes life is stressful for a student. But most adults think that a kid’s life is easy. Sometimes it is easy, but most of the time it isn’t easy. We have to deal with pressure of being perfect to our friends and to the other kids or else we don’t have anything. We also have to do chores for money so we could buy things. We never get any say in the family because most adults don’t expect us to have good ides. We have to do a lot and adults think it’s easy to be a kid. Well I’ve got something to tell them! We have to deal with them grounding us, we do chores for about 5 dollars a week, and we have to watch our younger siblings. We don’t even get paid to watch them either! Adults don’t even ask us if we have plans anymore and I for one am soooo tired of being treated like I’m not part of the stinking family!\

So we try to escape these stresses by going to our rooms, joining sports, joining clubs so you can talk with some kids that are dealing with the same problems you are. Then parents ground us for doing something they probably did when they were 11-15 years old. They usually take away stuff that keeps you in touch with the world like cell phone. I have noticed that parents take away cell phones so we can’t keep in touch with our friends and am so tired.
In my opinion, this is what kids do to get back at them:

1. They sneak behind their back
2. They yell at their parents
3. They sleep over at a friend’s house

But some kids deal with worse ways like:
Cutting themselves, throwing up, not eating…

So that’s how kids deal with stress.

Student Blog

by Jasmine

There are many stresses of being a student in school.

One reason is homework. If you don’t do your homework, then you have to get detention and stay after school and if you have something planned, you are not going to be able to do what you planned. But with Mr. Heist you could just go up to the office with Mrs. Gross at recess. You can also stay at recess in math, but only if you ride the bus home.

Another reason is that they have to do chores. Right when we get home, our parents tell us to eat and then to do homework and last to do chores. We usually have to wash the dishes we used to eat our food and we have to wash them good. Last we have to clean our rooms that are usually a mess.

There are many stresses of being a student. You could deal with this stress by doing your homework. Also you could use some time to do it. Last the teacher can just give you less of the homework.

You could deal with stress by doing your chores or not having stress. You could also do everything in a hurry and try to deal with it.

Karlie's Advice

by Karlie

Being a student is very stressful because you have to worry about keeping your grades up, and make sure your homework gets in on time. There is more stress in middle school because there is a lot of rumors and drama and there is harder work. When you’re in elementary you do your homework, learn and go to recess.

That is why it is so stressful being a student. You always need to remember to get your work done and do your homework. Don’t worry about all the rumors and drama if you’re in middle school.

The Stress of Being a Student

by Lena

When you’re a student and you get stressed out it really sucks. The reason why I think it sucks is, because you can have lots of homework and sports, and that gets you stressed out. Sports get you stressed out when you have a game the reason is, because you won’t have time to do your homework. Then you might have to do you’re homework at night time, because you get home late. Then the next day at school you’ll be tired and not do well at school.

I think the way to help not being too stressed out is by maybe not playing sports for a year so you can do your homework. Also another way you can not be as stressed is by going to bed earlier. Then you can do much better at school and maybe play sports after awhile.

UUGGHHH!

by Angela

Most kids have too many activates that they don’t do their homework. I think that there is where stress comes from. They assume that because they did not do their homework that they will get in trouble. So they get up early and do their work like at 5:00 to do it. When I wait a long time to do my homework I sometimes forget how to do the thing the teachers assign me. So I can image how hard it would be to do my homework 14 hours after teachers assign me it. And because I would wake up at 5 I would be exhausted.

I also think that students stress also comes because of the student’s parents. The reason why I think student’s stress comes from parents is because sometimes parent insisted for their child to get good grades. And because of that they work very hard they work the whole day on one assignment. If they get like 3 wrong in a test they worry they might get in big trouble. That is why I think student stress also comes from parents.

STRESS!

by Nora

Students get stressed a lot. They get stressed over their school work, homework, and just school. Me being a student, I’ve experienced stressful times, and being stressed at school sucks. It gives you real attitudes and headaches, almost like migraines. Some kids who get super stressed just ignore doing their work and do nothing. Most students get stressed because of their teachers yelling at them when they do something wrong. If adults don’t know, we kids have attitudes when we get yelled at because you make us stressed. Yelling doesn’t help, maybe if you TRY to reason instead.

When you get stressed at school, you don’t want to do anything but relax. That’s why most students have their work not turned in. Instead of yelling at the student that always never have their work turned in, you should try to ask why don’t they have it and try to think of another possible way why. Like maybe they have problems to deal with at home and it makes them so stressed they can’t focus. Yelling makes everything worst and it just makes the stressed child get in trouble which causes more stress. When their parents find out they got in trouble, the parents yell at him/her and give him/her more stress. It just messes up everything.
That’s why students get stressed a lot.

Stress of Being a Student

by Abby

The stress of being a student is very frustrating. Everybody gets stressed once and a while but I think students have the most stress. Stress really sucks because it makes you have wrinkles on your face when you get older, which nobody wants. When you get stressed, when you’re a student, it’s mostly because they have a whole bunch of school work and sometimes sports. They have a whole bunch of stuff to do and they don’t have enough time. Almost everything causes stress for a student. It gets frustrating at a lot of times because you want to do one thing but you need to do the other and your parents want you to do your chores, and on and on. It’s very hard being student especially sometimes if you switch schools and you’re nervous about meeting new people and new teachers. It is also hard when you go from 5th grade to 6th grade because a lot of stuff changes for you. Being a student is very stressful.

Ways that you can help to lower or stop stress is you can cut down on all of the sports and put your priorities first. Like home work and chores first, and then play sports and be with your friends. Being stressed out isn’t good for you or your body. You can stop being stressed by having more fun at school but not getting in trouble at the same time. You can still live your life and have fun but without so much stress. Also you can laugh more and that will help.

Lena's Location

by Lena

If Lo-Inyo could be located any where in the world I would located on a boat at sea. There would be a math class, a science class, and all the other classes. We would have a dorm room to share with a class mate. Also the boat would have a lunch room and lots of food stands. The good thing about living on a ship with your class is that you would always see your friends, and you could go fishing with your class. The bad things are that you wouldn’t see your parents, and you might get sea sick. But one bad thing would be that you might not be in the same dorm room as your best friends. That would rock and it would be the perfect place for Lo-Inyo School.

The Worst Job Ever

by Lena

The Baby-Sitter Sarah was ready to see the five children. When she arrived to the house she knew she was going to have the worst time. The kids were fine, because their parents were still there. And as soon as the parents left they were mean I told tem I would turn on the T.V. and get their cheese pizza. As I came back the sly kids were gone. She looked everywhere in the house, but they were gone. She was getting extremely worried.

As she looked some more for the sneaky kids she had one more idea of where to find them. Now steam was coming out of her ears. As she looked outside Sarah saw them on the swing set. As soon as the kids saw Sarah they said, “Run “. To the top of their lungs. So they ran back in the house into their room. Now she told them she would tell their parents if they didn’t stop the commotion. But the kids still didn’t listen and the whole house was a huge mess. She knew no one would be happy with the mess. And right at that moment the phone rang. She said, “Hello this is Sarah”. Then the mom said, “Were coming home”. Sarah said, “Okay”. So she told all five kids we need to clean the house, because your parents are coming home. They listened and started cleaning.

As they were cleaning their room Sarah was cleaning the living room and kitchen. Then they were finally done, so Sarah put all five sneaky kids to sleep. It took them about 5 minutes to go to sleep. Then she went in the living room and took a piece of pizza. About 10 minutes later the kid’s parents arrived. She told them they were a bit of a handful, but she made it through.

The Five Annoying Kids

by Samantha

First I put all my valuables away in a cupboard. Next I made sure I make snacks. Also make sure you set some games out.

When they arrive I ask their moms what they fear most and what they like the most. I make sure I get their names. Second I locked all the rooms I don’t want them to go into. When the moms leave they run for it two in one direction and three in the other direction. They went through the cupboards and found the valuables they started playing dodge ball with the glass vases. And they were really running on the walls. The other two brats where going through the fridge grabbing anything they could find and putting it in a blender. The lid wasn’t on the blender and when they turned it on gross slimy stuff went everywhere. I grabbed the two in the kitchen and where going to put them in time out but the other three came from the living room and started trying to free the two in my hands. They started kicking and screaming. I grabbed them and then locked them all in the bathroom.

When the moms came I gave them a roll of gum to make sure that they didn’t tell their moms I locked them in the bathroom. I got paid twenty bucks from each parent. But the thing that sucked is I had to clean my house for the next three days.

Bad Babies

by Robert

I was babysitting 5 children and it was hard work. They’ve escaped from the crib 3 times, raided the fridge and turned on the oven.
They are pretty smart. Right now they are lock picking the door. Well I’m going to bring them back inside. Now they’re back in they’re cribs.

Now they’ve escaped the crib again and they are overflowing the bath tub. They’ve pored the entire three gallon bubble bath bottle into the bath tub! O no the entire bathroom is filled with bubbles.

Well I have cleaned it up. The parents are almost home. The children are back in they’re cribs and they are not trying to escape because they now the parents are almost home. Well the parents are home and they’re saying how good they’re kids are!

The Babysitter Who Had Five

by Nora

Last week I left my friend’s baby cousins at this one girl baby-sitter named Jenny. She was all hyped up and excited about getting to watch the 5 cute babies. I installed cameras all around the house she was going to watch the babies in so I could see everything that was going to happen. I thought it would be a great idea to see how she does. What I was thinking was, this was going to be good.

When the day came, I sat down in my house and relaxed in front of my TV to watch the “show.” At first the babies were just playing with their rattles in their playpen and being entertained with each other. When she let them out of the playpen to crawl they just scattered everywhere and crawled all over the place. I could tell from the look on her face that she was thinking she shouldn’t have let them out of the playpen. She chased after them like crazy.

She eventually got them all back into the playpen and decided to relax and watch some TV. One of the babies was big enough to get out of the pen by herself. And that’s exactly what she did when Jenny wasn’t paying attention. I laughed because she didn’t even have a clue!

When she noticed, (about 10 minutes later) she went crazy. Like she was turning all red and screaming with her arms waving like crazy all over her head while she was running all around the house. I don’t know why she was going psycho and freaking out because the babies were on the couch right across from her! When she was talking to herself saying things like,” Oh no, oh no, oh no, they’re gonna kill me!” And also she said, “Where could those devil babies be! When I get them they’re gonna get a spanky!”

Then she came back to the living room and noticed they were one the couch right across from where she was.

She seemed to have relaxed, and then sat down to watch more TV. The babies looked like they were about to cry so she went to make them dinner. She made them some TV dinner type things that had macaroni, corn, pudding, and a small juice. When all five TV dinners were ready she carried them to the table, then she went to get all five babies and put them in their high chairs, and then put the food on their high chair tray. The little babies devoured their food and then, eventually, they all fell asleep. Jenny got all of them out of their high chairs and put them in their cribs. She came back to the living room and smiled the whole time she was watching TV. I thought it was a pretty funny afternoon.

The Five Evil Babies

by Nayeli

I was playing with my four brothers and sisters when we heard a knock on the door. Why, it was the new babysitter. None of us liked the new babysitter, we all liked our old babysitter Nanny McPotty. It was then when we decided to play tricks on the new babysitter Jessica.

We ran all over the house and then we ran outside and that was when we locked the babysitter out. We all threw such a laugh that instead of making it sound sweet it sounded EVIL. We had one problem I got locked out to. I went inside the house through the doggy door and I got my brother Dylan’s water gun I started aiming at the babysitter and then I realized that she was coming after me. I started running and she was still running after me so I told my brothers and sisters to go into the kitchen and make a mess. “Make a mess all over the house”, I yelled. Well right at that moment there were plates and dishes all over the house. I filled up the water gun with paint and I shot it at Jessica. She was then covered up in paint.

We all pretended to go to sleep but we had paint and we wanted to play a bad bad trick on Jessica. We then noticed that Jessica had gone to sleep. That was when we got to work. When she woke up she was a total disaster. She had already cleaned up the whole house so we really went to sleep. When Jessica left our mom had gotten back and she gave us some great news. Nanny McPotty is going to come back. That was the end of Jessica she was never seen by us again.

The Terrible Five

by Aly

Taking care of five mischievous kids is a handful. Some people ask how I know that, well because I took care of two 9 year olds one seven year old and two five year olds. Yes it was hard I’ll say and it still is hard but its easier then what it used to. But it is so much fun watching them.
My story begins here in little old Mississippi in a town called Goldsfer. A couple of months ago my friends and I started a club called “The Baby-Sitter Friends” it was pretty successful. And the very first job we had went to me. The family name is the Sterns’. Oh how miss guiding last names could be, they weren’t stern at all to say the least they would be the last set of parents to get the best parenting award. But over the phone they told me where they lived, what time to be there, everything. But that their kids should be locked up in a wacky shack or at the Looney bin.

When I got there everything seemed normal but as soon as Mr. and Mrs. Stern left then the kids started play pranks on me and most of them hurt a lot. In 1 hr they pulled 7 pranks 5 of them hurt. And I never knew kids could have so many allergies. After about 2 ½ hrs my head hurt I had to call for back up cause I guessed that the worse was still to come.
Oh and it did as soon as my friend Alicia got there they were perfect little angles and that made me look like a wimp. But she could tell they were putting on a little act so she acted like she was leaving went outside and spied on us and she saw what they were doing to me I started thanking God that Alicia has such a good eye. So what did she do she called the kids parents something I never got the chance to do and they came right back to there house and started to yell at me for the house looking like a twister just ran right through their living room.

But then the kid said what they had done to me and my business and confessed. The parents looked so shocked it was very sad cause then I found out I wasn’t the only one who was having a whole lot of trouble. It turns out that a lot of baby sitters quit because they were acting like little monsters and calling me was just a plan to make them pay.
But that didn’t stop me from telling the parents they should have told me about the plan but then they told me that it wouldn’t give me a sense of pride that I survived just barely with the likes of the terrible five . But what are you going to do when parents have a plan. But I still baby-sit for them they’re a lot better then what they were when I first baby-sat them. But they still are the terrible five to me and they always will be.

Pet From the Zoo

by Samantha

If I could get an animal from the zoo with its food I would get a baby tiger. We would go home I would name her Bon-Bon. It’s a girl; we would go and play around the yard. We would learn the boundaries of how gentle she has to be. She would have to learn to not hurt anyone. When she is full grown I would ride and wrestle with her.

Noah's Perfect Day

If my fortune cookie said “today is your lucky day!” and it came true this is how my day would be. First I’d get one million dollars for selling my newest album “The No Album “by Noah Castaneda. Next I’d be so loved by my album that I’d had to hire a security guard who’s name would be Bob and Bob also works at Kentucky Fried Chicken. Finally I’d move to Santa Paula and chillax at my Aunt Vanessa’s for the rest of my day. P.S. I also became master of the world.

Purple

by Nefer

If people turned bright purple every time they lied, it would be both good and bad. It would be good because you would know when someone lies to you. It would be bad because people would know when you lie to them. If this happened I think most of the world would be purple because everyone lies. Everyone in the world would look funny. That is what I think would happen to the world if people turned bright purple every time they lied

The Season Of Nayeli

by Nayeli

My favorite season is fall. I like fall because I love to jump in the leaves, but I mostly like fall because all of the beautiful colors that are in the trees. I like fall because of the holiday that takes place in the fall. Thanksgiving! I love all of the great foods that I eat on the day of Thanksgiving. I go to my aunt’s house and all of my Family would go there. I love thanksgiving because it is the only time of the year that all of my family gathers. Thanksgiving rocks!

My Bad Day

by Mike

On my worst day ever I got a fortune cookie. When I saw the fortune my worst day became my luckiest day ever. The fortune said you are going to get $1,000,000, and later on that day I saw someone at the door and they said you just won $1,000,000 . I bought me a new playstation3. That was my lucky day.

Lupita's Lucky Day

If Lo-Inyo could be located any where in the world I would located on a boat at sea. There would be a math class, a science class, and all the other classes. We would have a dorm room to share with a class mate. Also the boat would have a lunch room and lots of food stands. The good thing about living on a ship with your class is that you would always see your friends, and you could go fishing with your class. The bad things are that you wouldn’t see your parents, and you might get sea sick. But one bad thing would be that you might not be in the same dorm room as your best friends. That would rock and it would be the perfect place for Lo-Inyo School.

Fear of Spiders

by Karlie

Well I’m one of those people who have a fear of spiders. I think the fear of spiders is in most everyone's head. Even my ownfear of spiders is probably in my head. Most people get the chills when they see or think about spiders. That’s why I think most people are scared of spiders.

Spiders

by Jon

How do I feel about spiders? I really don’t like spiders. I don’t know why but I’m just scared of spiders. Why do I think people are scared of spiders? I think people are scared of spiders because they got bitten when they were young or they have arachnophobia. I know one would be scared of spiders if they were bitten by a foot long tarantula at the age of three. Another reason I think people would be scared is if they saw a bird get eaten by a spider. So that’s what I think of spiders and why I think someone would be scared of spiders.

If People Turned Bright Purple Every Time They Told a Lie

by Jasmine

If people turned bright purple every time they told a lie I think that would be good because people would know when another person was telling a lie. Also the whole school could get the spirit stick. They could just tell a lie when Mrs. Gross comes to count purple although we are going to look ridiculous, it will still count. But she might send us to her office and get in trouble for lying. The whole world would be a lot different too. That is probably why some flowers are purple so we know that they are probably telling a lie. Just Kidding! This is what would happen if people would turn bright purple every time they told a lie.

Gabe's Lucky Day

by Gabe

If my fortune cookie said, “Today is your lucky day!” this would have happened… A huge video game truck the size of a mansion crashed with all new video games that aren’t even out I would take them for my self. If it was my lucky day a huge plane dropped 1,000 pounds of melted delicious chocolate all over Lone Pine and in the delicious melted chocolate there would be chunks of marshmallow. It would have been the time of my life and right when the day would be over all the schools in the world would have exploded which would be awesome and that meant that I could play video games for ever and ever. I would be the happiest kid in the world. It would be the happiest day of my life. Right as I thought it couldn’t get better it was my birthday and I got all the games in the world and I got $1,000,000. That’s what would happen if my fortune cookie said those beautiful words.

Spiders

by Emma

I feel uncomfortable around spiders. I’m kinda scared of them. I think many people are scared of spiders because they might bite. They also look scary. they feel weird when they’re crawling on you too.

Lo-Inyo Under Water?

by Cassidy

If Lo-Inyo could be located anywhere in the world I would want it to be located at the wreck sight of the Titanic. It would be at the bottom off the Atlantic Ocean right beside Titanic’s bow [a few yards away from the stern] so we could swim over to the stern and go inside all of the ship to learn about its history. Where the school would be located it is at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, where no one can swim or walk on the Titanic because the pressure would crush you. Some good things would be you can learn about history all year long. You could also learn about your ancestors.

Coltan's Lucky Day

If my fortune cookie said that today was my lucky day this is what would happen.
On this day a man would suddenly burst into my front door from the government and say “You have just won all of the money from the government.” Then I would go spend some of the money on a mansion and inside the mansion would be a go kart track, a giant master bedroom with a 160 inch plasma screen TV, a pizzeria, an arcade, a bowling ally, and a dance floor. I would also higher a bodyguard to guard my rich body. There would be a lot of super swim suit models kissing me. I would also get all of the video games in the world. That’s what would happen on this day.

Las Vegas!

by Chad

If I could go anywhere in the world, I’d go to Las Vegas. I chose that because Las Vegas is very fun! I love that “volcano” show they show off each hour! I also love the “New York” coaster! Its 5 minutes of fun on that rollercoaster! It has got everything! Upside down, loop-de-loop, sideways, you name it! Also my best friend Jonathon lives there. He lived here for awhile, before he moved to Henderson, Nevada, which is about a mile or 2 from Vegas! I also saw the Freemont street experience! It had the song “American Pie” song play and on the roof was the video (kind of). Also the arcade was fun too! At least I had fun on last day of arcade. Nevada also has NO INCOME TAX! I might just move there some day! AAAAAAHHHHHHHH Vegas is sooooooo fun!

Brad's Perfect Land

by Brad

If I could go anywhere for vacation I would go to Nuhamurrocho, Badsmith. This magnificent place is named after the delicious foods Nachos, Hamburgers and the crispy mouth watering Churros. If I could go here I would first, go and eat at the “Food Inn,” where all the furniture and accessories are made up of all the elements in the magnificent breath taking foods that I have listed awhile ago. After, I would take a hike in the forest of churros. By the way this is the only forest made of churros. Then, I would go have lunch at the restaurant of hamburgers which only sells hamburgers. But don’t worry there are a variety of choices. In this city the slogan for the restaurant is “Thinking inside my buns.” To end of the day I would go and relax in the boiling hot nacho cheese jacuzzi. That is where and what I would do for vacation.

Yum! Krimpets!

by Avi

I think Butterscotch Krimpets are like a piece of cake, it tastes like butterscotch it also has butterscotch frosting on top. Butterscotch Krimpets were important to the novel of Maniac Magee because that is what Maniac Magee loved to ead. Butterscotch Krimpets are only found in Pennsylvania because that’s where the setting was. If the novel were to be in Lone Pine, California I think I would use Gatorade as the main character's favorite thing to eat.

I think Butterscotch Krimpets smell like Butterscotch and feel spongy and taste good. They also has Butterscotch frosting on top. When you open the wrapper you can hear the wrapper crumbling. That’s why I think Krimpets are good.

UFOs vs. Bigfoot

by Angela

I think that Bigfoot is more likely to exist. The reason I think UFO’s are more likely to exist is that many people have seen things that look like UFO’s. And as for Bigfoot they have found fake evidence of him. Like on August 17, 2008 when a camper found “Bigfoot” with meat inside of it. They have had a lot of video’s that seem to have a weird object in the air that likes like a UFO. That is the main reason’s why I think that UFO’s are more likely to exist than Bigfoot.

Bigfoot VS. UFO

by Aly

I believe that UFOs are more likely to exist over “big foot”. I have to wonder how we got on earth. Plus, I bet if there really is a big foot where did he/she come from? And whose driving the UFOs obviously aliens. So until I know how humans got on the earth, I have to say aliens and UFOs are real.

DIRT!

by Jacob

DIRT! is the most beautiful thing in nature. It is the best. Got you going Heist!

Snow is very beautiful. That is one reason I go to Mammoth. Snowboarding can get you to places where snow is untouched. But snow can be very dangerous.

The Most Beautiful Thing In Nature

by Magie

The most beautiful thing in nature are the trees. I think they’re beautiful because they give shade and their leaves change colors. Trees are used for many things. They give shade, paper is made of trees, and they give oxygen to people. People are cutting down trees for paper and other things. I think people should stop cutting them because them because if they chop all of them down we would die. If people cut trees they should plant more. At my house I have trees when I was small my house use to have really green grass and really green trees. It looked really pretty but now I don’t have grass the trees look kind of brown. But the owner said he was going to cut the trees and don’t plant new ones. That’s is why I think trees are the most beautiful thing in nature.
