that was buffy, season one – the season everyone looks back on and says “oh, they look so young”…
“How to tell if your cat is trying to kill you” – i started the week with a very serious book – fortunately, i read the book in time to avoid the bell rub trap my parent’s cat had set for me – people of cats, listen – you must too read this book before it’s too late and we speak at your funeral about how you never saw it coming… 🙂
“team challenge” – book of team games – i made copies on some interesting ones – and some notes – i hope to get them into the classroom this week
“romeoiette and julio” – whatever – BOB No. 1 for me – hated it – awful book – why was it put here on earth??? to torture those of us that think we can write and send off our work and get no feedback – and then to discover that apparently, someone loved this book enough to publish – i just wonder where i go wrong and that author goes right – argh…
happy blogging this week (note the spelling jordan m:)

FIRST
First!
wow, the sixth grade in a stunning upset
Well detective I play drums but I also want to play trumpet
And will… Mare meat it’s what’s for dinner!
But I did have zebra in Scotland. It tastes like steak but better.
GO SIXTH GRADE!!!!
“To the batmobile” (pew pew pew) “dang it”… (To be continued net week when i come in second again)
i do hate those “net week”s…
I also hate that i can’t find my bat either.
1,2,3,4….5…. Tenth!
Tenth!
Anyway, i started reading, “The Invention of Hugo Cabret”, a book that i read in TWO days. TWO days. I mean, look at the thickness of that book! it’s a MONSTER! wELL, NOT A MONSTER, BUT IT IS PRETTY THICK.
Oops, i had on Caps lock before i sent it. l:(
anyways, this week i began ALLEGIANT by Veronica Roth–also, the last book in the DIVERGENT series. i have to say, Roth is an excellent author. so descriptive with her
words…i have admired her work ever since i began the series.
so, currently, Tris and her squad are headed outside the fences that hold he factions in. after they thought they had escaped, the factionless soldiers came after them with guns. Tobias got shot in the arm, and Tori dies to a shot in the stomach and chest. Caleb endsup being rescued from execution, but only because Tris doesn’t feel like leaving him to die, even though he betrayed her to work for Jeanine. and that’s currently how far i am.
so, here’s my creative for the week:
“Another Part of Me”
by Blue
The rush escaped your lips
An crash of empty sounds
A moment in weightless air
My heartbeat slows way down
A tear escaped an eye
I’m halfway in denial
The other half is blank
My mind is stuck in slow motion
My vision’s locked on freeze
Seizing empty breaths
Sinking way down to my knees
Crying, pleading silently
Oh, not really an emotion,
Just another
Part
Of
Me.
~*~
Monday:
Sherlock and watson are investigating a cellar that they think the people that pulled the red haired men thing and they wait at the cellar. They see a light an a hand. Someone comes through the tile out of the tunnel. Sherlock pounces on him and cuffed him. they find out that the group of red haired men was a heist to get to the bank. They dug a tunnel and i told you this already. 🙁 Well they are surprised except Sherlock who knew all along. (not a surprise.)
well that’s my creative writing no mare meat this time (mare meat). I have no idea who put that mare meat there! Just ignore it (mare meat ) it’s happening the invasion of mare meat!!! HELP!!
Anyway, here’s my report:
There’s this boy named Hugo, and he recentley found a mechanical man that Hugo wanted to fix. so he started stealing toys from a toy booth owned by an old man. Then, he tried to steal a toy mouse, but the man caught him and stole one of his jornals. Next, he tries to work for the man and tries to get his jornal back to finish the mechanical man, so it can write a message to him.
I’ll tell you the rest later in the week.

To be continued net week.

“Chicken fried steaks for dinner, Yeah.” I sarcastically remark.
“Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”; Line:”Harry’s heart thranged like a rubber band.No one had wrote to him before…Yet here it was ,a letter, addressed so plainly that there could be no mistake”
Commentary: This line is super important. This is when Harry starts reiceiving letters from Hogwarts. Even though they are taken away from him,these letters are what starts his journey towards being a wizard. This line,in my opinion, is what really starts the book.

Hello. Im reading this book called Double Identity and im going to do a dialectical journal on it.
“My mother is crying” (Haddix 2005)
^
(First sentence of the novel) I think this goes back to what we learned in class today and what you said about most teenage books jumping right in at the conflict/incitement rather than starting out with a ground state and introducing characters and giving a backstory. You read the first sentence and you have your conflict, something has happened causing the narrator’s mother to be crying. You don’t know whose mother it is or why they’re crying but you know there is some kind of conflict.
“I could swear part of the sign is still advertising a circus from 2006. Years ago.” (Haddix 2005)
^
This sentence is very ironic because if 2006 is “Years ago” then this book is set in a time frame after 2006, yet this book wasn’t published until 2005. Obviously not much in scenery has probably changed since 2005 till whenever this book is set in. But setting a book in which the date hasn’t happened yet is pretty risky because you cant guarantee that your scenery or the way people talk and stuff like that will be accurate.

Well here i am typing it for the third time because something happened and it did not work 🙁
IT’S SO ANNOYING GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
so Monday:
Sherlock is currently waiting at the warehouse cellar thing and is watching for the bad guys and saw a light and a hand coming through the floor. the bad guys dug a tunnel and tried to rob a bank. Sherlock caught them and cuffed them. He was aware that they would come to the place and tried to rob the bank. so that is what Sherlock has been doing.
I apologize if it’s a little short but i did type it three times.

Willow was sitting in the kitchen eating breackfast when she was about to tell her Mother and Father about her exciting plans for the first day of school. (Willow was going into sixth grade):) She stoped eating and said to her Mother and Father, “You know what i am going to where the first day of sixth grade?…” “No, what?” her father asked she replied,”My gardening outfit!” (Her gardening outfit was a red khaki shirt with tan pants with built in kneepads, and lase-up leather work boots…) Her mom almost acted like she was choking on something and said, “Oh… Ok… Are you… sure?…” Willow new they did not get it, she just wanted kids to know what type of person she was but see it through her clothes. Willow told them that but they still did not understand…
that is all (not really)
Counting by 7’s
The first day of school and she was over the top excited! But then after she was ready and she was in the car she felt sooooo nervous she insisted on them walking her into the school but they put there foot down and said “no” on that one she over heared them talking that morning, “there is know way i am walking my girl into the school in SIXTH GRADE!”
When she walkied into the school a girl walked up to her and said, “There is i toilet klogged up in the bathroom!” Willow first thought she was just giving her a heads up but then she was a man walikg down the hall, they were whereing the same thing!!!!!! But the man had a lage cart with two mops on the back he was a jonitor then she thought was it possible that the girl thought she was one two?
That IS ALL for today! 🙂 😉 🙂 😉 🙂 😉 🙂

Im Reading the book Rules (again) its a really awesome book and I reccomend it.
Line- “Come on David”. I let go of his sleeve, afraid I’ll rip it.
^
(first sentence of the book)
Commentary- There’s this girl named Catherine and really all she wants is a normal life. But her brother David has a thing called Autism and it makes him really diferent from other kids. She has a list called Davids Rules. And she always writes new ones down but here are some of the Rules, like for example, No toys in the fish tank or Chew with your mouth closed and he listens to her (most of the time).
Once again trying to use the force on the T.V. remote didn’t work.=( [sigh]
“Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”;Line:”The lighted dial of Dudley’s watch,which lay dangling over the edge of the sofa on his fat wrist, told Harry he’d be eleven in ten minutes’ time.”
Commentary:This goes with yesterday’s line.This is the age that the letter I was talking about yesterday,is sent out. This is the age of first years at Hogwart’s.

WHAT-EYE-RED!
Okay, so here’s the rest of the story:
Hugo then becomes friends with the old man’s daughter. He the finished the mechanical man, and discovers a heart-shaped hole in the man’s back, just the size of the key around his friend’s neck. So he steals the key and pushes it into the man’s back and turns it. Next, it starts to draw a picture for him. He shows it to the old man, and the man becomes a magician and an artist.
Well, that’s all i can say for now. See you guys tmr!
Or will I……?

Hello people I was so baffled when I figured out that my writing was not up on the blog doing its awaiting thing. It turns out that my comment was put in spam! I don’t even like spam. Haha–food joke. well here’s my writing.
Tuesday:
So Sherlock and the gang solved the whole tunnel to the bank thing and he went home and well…did what everyone does at home. So then this little lady came and wanted to talk to Mr. Holmes. She wanted him to find her husband because she had no idea where he went. and her step father is a big fat mean jerk who hates the world. i myself think that it was her step father who took her husband and hid him. well Sherlock was asking her questions like where he worked and what did he like.
well that’s my writing and Brandon just turned 2 so HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANDON!! Wait did he turn 2 5 or 11 I’m so confused. I think it was 2.
I’m reading Grimm Legacy even though its not summer anymore
line- my social studies teacher, Mr. Mauskopf, was holding the door open for me.
this sentence let’s you know that Elizabeth is in that part of the year where you have to go to school. So….. that means later in the book when she has some kind of activity on a week day (that is not related to school) means that her nickname isn’t the lone ranger and she has some what of a social life.
happy Birthday to Brandon (the random kid)
*wink,wink*
dear elf/detective/lover of judges:)
yep, that’s fine – BOB question away for journals
brandon is like me – he rotates between 5 and 105 – i’m right on this, right???

Willow went to the office and she said she wanted to call her mom, they finally let her do it after pleading for a long time. When her mom picked her up her mom said, “Well first days are always hard…” willow just nodded and looked into the window…
The next day one of her teachers had a paper and a pen on the desk’s and she said do not open the booklet when I hand it to you, It turned out to be a test and when she finished she handed it to her teacher, then the whole class started talking like crazy… she over heard them, she had made a perfect score!!!
That is all!
Tuesday:
Fire & Ice
Quote:
“Then I caught sight of his wife’s mean, disapproving face watching us from behind the glass in the door to the kitchen. I was quite sure it was her idea to sting me a higher fee.” p. 11
Commentary:
This means that Diagliv’s wife doesn’t like Silke and told Diagliv to raise her booth rent to try and get rid of her. The wife must be a bit jealous that Silke was talking to Diagliv.
Quote:
“He had some weird tattoos as well, but these days I should hope his wife is the only one familiar with them, as they were in rather private places.” p 10-11
Commentary:
How would she know that? Also, getting tattoos in “rather private places” must be painful! Who does that? I wouldn’t do that for 30 million bucks.
Sincerely, The Favorite 😀
I’m reading Precious Bones and I recommend it, it is a great book by: Mika Ashley-Hollinger
Line- “Nolay, let’s get back home.” bones says
Commentary- It sounds like bones is scared. Before it said that Nolay had a riffle. when Nolay and Bones went to check their rabbit traps There’s a group of people in the woods. Including the people from the day before. He called the group the Yankees.so the Yankees was on bones family’s land. Nolay knows from a tree that him and his family planted it. The Yankees said” what if it is our land” then Nolay said” our family has lived here when you were not.”
Line-“Soap sally was out to get me” bones said
Commentary- when I read this line I was wondering what soap sally was so I kept reading and, it said that soap sally was a monster like creature that if you say a lie or do something wrong it will turn you into a bar of soap.bones said that all she did was let the poor trapped bunny go.

Hi
My prediction was wrong, its 4, not 2 (sixth graders)
Alllllllrighty! I didnt blog yesterday, so here is my creative response to ” THe Adventures of Tom Sawyer”, since I’m feeling pretty creative today.
In the book, Tom bribes a kid for these tickets, that you are supposed to earn from memorizing Bible verses. Its a whole complicated system that leads up to a potential 2,000 verses memorized, which earns you a Bibe given to you by the Superintendent himself! Since I think this is incredibally unrealistic fo this modern age, I’m going to write a creative story about a subject similar. Yes, I’ll be picking on Billy again.
Billy Fryer was a lonely boy. His only joy was found in a book – no, there were not more books inside of this book, which would have thrilled him – and he longed for joy constantly. Since the top reader in the grade Evan Key moved away, Billy took it upon himself to occupy the throne.
By the end of the first nine weeks, Billy had creamed Evan’s record, having a stunning 10,000 plus pages read. Mrs. Blount fainted, Mr. Mayfield had a heart attack, and Billy was driven up to the BOE immediately to speak to the Superintendent.
“Hi Mr. Fuller, I read 10,000 pages!” Billy yelled with a little too much excitement. Mr. Fuller handed Billy a brand new book, brand new in fact! The name of this book, “How To Calm Your Weird Obsessions and Get Other People to Like You” by The CMS 8th graders. Unfortunately, Billy had indeed already read the book, and gave it to someone he thought needed it more: Mrs. Vincent. She has NO fans, annd i the most hated teacher in the school. Her peppy, fun-filled lessons drive people insane.
Billy felt satisfied. He didnt need to take down any of his BOB trophies to put up another trophy, Mr. Mayfield was dead, and he had given Mrs. Vincent something she so desperately needed. All was well for Billy, until that Friday night, when the Biscuits lost, and he swore to punish himself by never reading again..
I just wanted to say I’m not going to be at school tomorrow and I’m barely able to type to night at softball practice i got hit in the face with a softball i am proud to say that i didn’t cry but my eyes were watering from the impact my mom to me to the ER and my nose is Broke so yay my brother sayer with the way is looks i like like on of the people off avatar( its pretty true) and i have two black eyes.
