4 things I hate about living in New York
Some things I hate about living in New York are…
– the litter that so many people drop on the sidewalk and in the subway because it is bad for the earth
– the disgusting people in the subway who spit their gum into the tracks because it is just plain disgusting
– the mobs of people in the subway who push you away so that they can get on a crowded train without caring about you ( need I explain this problem? I think we all know how annoying that is,)
– the dancers in the subway because they are so annoying, and their stupid stunts could get someone really hurt if these “shows” get out of hand, plus, if these people can afford to learn tricky dance moves, they can’t be THAT poor.
Editing Everyday Objects
Below is a picture of a flower in a pot. But this is no normal flower, or a normal flower pot. It is actually a disguised spy gadget. It is sort of a camera. The center of this high-tech, super realistic flower is actually a state of the art camera. The eyes carved into the flower pot are not decorations. They are robotic eyes that sort of report what they are seeing to a spy base camera. It is supposed to solve the problem that spies can be spying on spies. It’s primary function is to be a super sneaky action movie spy camera. Spies can also plant it in enemy base. It is very high tech and the disguise is perfect.
What I want for the planner
I think that maybe the planners should have a few pictures on the covers. Somewhere there should be a draw it yourself page. A lot of people would like that. I think that there should be less pictures and more room for being ourselves. We should be able to show who we are in drawings, so there should totally be a doodle cover. I think that it should be more about homework than about pictures of silly things that may or may not be appropriate! We put so much work into them being funny that we did not pay enough attention to the actual homework part of it. We could have done a lot better with that. Now, on a less critical note, I think that we did really well with getting them done on time with no last minute screw ups. So, we did pretty well.
New Planner Idea
Today, in D-Lab, we came up with ideas for new homework planners. I would like to present my group’s best suggestion. The idea is to shape the new planner like an I-Phone. Instead of having “Samsung” or “AT&T” at the top, it would say ‘Homework’. Instead of having colorful apps, the subjects would occupy the app squares. Then you could fill in your homework in the correct “App”. This really is a coincidence though, because I am writing about homework, for homework! Anyway, thank you for listening. I hope you will consider my offer.
Reflection on Ashokan
I am reflecting on the fifth and sixth grade trip to Ashokan.I had a wonderful time there. We went on a hike that took us to an old wishing bridge. Some wishes came true! Next the hike took us up the old deer trail which is almost vertical. It is very steep and hard to climb. Finally the hike took us back to the supper hall for dinner. We went down to the open rec field and were taught games like kitty wants a corner, screaming toes, alaskan baseball, and code breaker. Most people loved kitty wants a corner. Code breaker was very hard. We took some nets down to a pond for aquatic ecology and we looked for bugs and water beings that would signal that the pond was in good condition. Sadly, it wasn’t. We went bird watching. We saw a bird show in the rec hall. We played Simon Says. We had a trivia contest. We got to vote on weather the so called “Lyle Lanley” was making us a good offer when he told us to turn old,historical, educational stuff into a big stupid pot of money! Most groups very angrily said NO! Lyle was actualy a counselor. We tried to have zero waste at every meal. The closest we got was one and a half pounds of solid and liquid. Here is a picture of a group on a nature hike.
