Right now at this vary moment garbage is floating in our space that surrounds are Earth is causing danger to satellites,& other stuff up there is a ring of trash around us right now and it is hurting our Earth and we need to help it. You just can't sit there and not feel sorry for our Earth. You kinda have to because you helped them destroy our Earth. Did you know that over 100,000 tool bags trying to fix the international space station, we are losing the battle here, like shoot lasers at litter, except gravity would pull it back to us. Just start by doing the little things in life, like recycle and stop polluting the water we eat & drink from. Every bit counts.

Today was just like any ordinary day we did math and a math test then we had an assembly we were called down to see the real Halem Globetrotters and every one was so existed that the whole student body went crazy and of course some of the sixth graders were civilized and some weren't there was only one of them but his name was Dizzy number two he was having kids come up and be letters in the word CHEER it was funny; they were tossing around the basketball and then everyone kept dropping it and to them when Dizzy did it is seemed so easy but it wasn't and he did really cool tricks and then he had to go and he says he will be there at a game, I wonder if they play for laughs and it is just a joke or is it real and they are just having fun I don't know.

When I came to school I hated reading. I found it was boring and a waste of time. But now that I am older I have gotten over it, and now I love reading. I mean, ever since I came to sixth grade my reading has improved. Like, I have read Captain Underpants, Hey Don't You Know There is a War On!

And now I am reading Twilight, and it isn't like the movie, trust me. More details. I am almost done, anyway, and I will be moving up in the series.

Now I really like books.

So one day I was sitting at home saying, Aw man, sitting at home is so boring.

Then I was listening to music and, "RING!!" "RING!!" It could drown out a pack of hyenas. I picked it up, and said, slowly, "Hello."

"Hi, Clara. It's your friend, Briget. Can you play?...Clara?"

Oh, let me ask. I just got the hearing back in my ear!

"Oh. Sorry. I had sugar today.

"Oh, that exsplains everything. Hey mom, can I go over to Briget's?

"Yes, sweety!

OK, I am coming over.

"OK. Bye bye."

So when I got over to Briget's I asked to stay the night and of course I did and we started to play video games. Then I told her I was afraid of scary movies. Then she conned me in to watching one. Then it wasn't so bad. It was actually lame.

Then we played a game called Dark Teddy! It is where you put a stuffed animal somewhere and then you hide. the other people can not see you and you try to tag them so there it but you have to do it in the dark and I got tagged once then I fooled them buy putting my shoe's on one side sticking out a little to make it seem like I was on the other side when I was actually on the other side, so I got them a lot. And when we got done in about an hour or two, we smelled burnt pizza and when we tuned on all the lights there was smoke every were Briget's dad came out and then said "Holly cow!! I got it."

And then he took out we ate something els and then watched "Zombie Land." P.S "Dark Teddy" the creatures of that game is Briget, Suzy Dennis. Told by Ham

Hi I am your average sixth grader and I am going to give you some advice. "Me" yes you, you kindergartener in the front, Yah you come here I want to tell you about being a sixth grader. It is really fun; you go on cool field trips but the bad thing is all that homework. It is tough and then you turn it in the next day. Oh, and another thing is watch out for your desk. You need to keep it clean and tidy. Bring school supplies and be prepared every day.

In the morning you have math then sometime a special and then we come back to class and read and then on other day's you go to your special and then recess, then lunch. Then, for some people, read; then we come back and right now we are doing rockets. And then we go to our last special. Or we go home and that's all the advice I need to give you.

That day
16/2010
One day I was riding in my mom's car and then I had to change my little brother's diaper and as i was holding the stinky diaper my mom saw something on the road and then she turned sharply and said "AAAAAAAAAA"!!! and as we were spinning the diaper was flying and then it flew out the window and hit a teacher. I said SORRY as quickly as I could.

Then I put a new diaper on and then my mom opened the door and said, "bye" as I rolled out the door. And then I got up and said ouch I said and then I started walking to school, and I saw something in the snow. And then I picked it up and said oh cool, a wand and it was so cool that I slid it in my boot so no one could find it.

And at gym someone tripped me and I completely made a fool of myself in front of every one and then I went to the bathroom and said wait I fond that wand so I said to turn back time pigely wigely gigely, and then I found myself in gym and I saw him coming so when he tried I jumped and then he tripped and made a fool out of himself and then when I got home my mom asked "so how was school" and I said it was magical.

Well last Wednesday we saw a movie, and we just started watching it, and BAMMMMMM!!! I get taken out for testing. So I am like oh man but when I got there, it was actually really fun. I got to find shapes in these blocks and then I had to match things that were the same thing and then at like five minutes into the test you hear RRRRRR! and she said what was that and I said my stoic and then she said we are almost done but it seemed like ages before we got done. And when I got back we were in gym and at races I had to go up those long stairs to retrieve my coat and then I went outside and everyone was talking how cool the movie was and I said oh man, what did I miss? And you can miss a lot of things when you test, but it is worth it so you don't have to do latted later on.

Jack Pikelstien
once there lived a poor family of cows the mother cow was Tareesa and her son was the brave cow sir Jack Pickelstien the family had to sell there last man so Jack took the last man up the hill and he stumbled upon a cow with other men and he said if you give me your man I will give you three magic horse shoes and so jack took the horse shoes and left and when he got home he said I traded our last man four three

"Three cartons of milk or or you didn't you got three barrels of hay"

Your right I didn't get three barrels of hay!

"Then what did you get" Three magic horse shoes!....

"YOU what"! Three magic horse shoes...

YA! And just as that Jacks mother took the horse shoes and tossed them out the window and said, "Jack just go to bed" OK said Jack and as jack headed to bed his mother went to go pay off the barn rents and when jack woke up exactly at five am he went out to go feed the there man when he just realized he sold it for four magic horse shoes and as he was looking down walking towards the place that his mom through the horse shoes then suddenly.....POW OUCH said Jack as he looked up upon the huge roll of hay in the sky and said holly cows and out of the distance you could hear "You watch your mouth Jack Pikelstine "A voice so loud sorry said jack and as jack trotted around the huge roll of hay and he saw a path and he walked up it and then this part ends TO BE CONTINUED

And continuing our story when Jack got to the top and saw a huge molded old castle and he thought it mite have spiders and bats and scary things" and guess what you were wrong when jack stepped through the door he saw a castle filled with pink wall paper and dollies and all kinds of stuff. "It's even more scary then I thought"!! said Jack as he crept in and there he saw a gold cow harp and he also saw a huge cow and as he lifted the cow harp it awoke and screamed "master master" and as quick as jack was in he was out and he sowed the harp to his mom and she was amazed and the next day Jack went up again and you know what he saw a chicken man that lays golden eggs as he picked him up the chicken man clucked "BACOCK" and then the huge cow woke up again and as Jack ran down the hay so did the huge cow and he dropped off the chicken he got very hungry so he ate all of the hay and then the huge cow fell and Jack Pikelstine lived haply ever after.

I am going to tell you about a show called "I Am In The Band." I started watching it a week ago, and I saw this one episode about Jake's friend, Sharleen. He came over and he saw a piece of gum in a glass box, and he said, "Is that gum from that band you went to go see yesterday?"

"You know it, I got that gum with pride."

You reached up and grabbed his gum out of his mouth!!!!!!!

"Those were some good seats!!!"

OK then, well I have to go.

"OK my mom is cooking her home made meat loaf!"

"She makes that with fish and asparagus and broccoli and cheese doesn't she?"

Ya it's good...!

Well I have to go,

"Ya me too!"

And that is all they said to each other and then I didn't watch the rest because I had to my brother's hockey game. But the next time I saw it is were it was the first one but in was just a repeat and I said oh cool so I watched it and the most funniest part was when they do a secret hand slap but they didn't use there hands so Jake is the nephew of the leader of the band and they were about to go to a big concert and every time they do it the do it like this,

"supper weezel mack"...... POW,

and the nefu ducks before he got slapped and he said,

I am glad I am the smartesed one in the band,

as his friends were laying on the ground saying oh, ow, I think I broke my face!!!!!..........

I would want to go to Californa and learn art with my Grandma, and then I'd go 3 miles out and go to a farming area that smells like COWS!... and ride my horse when I get there. He smells like Cherry Blossoms, and every day I ride him, I would wrap a cherry blossom in wire and put it on his saddle, but now Casey is in Kentucky, and now when I want to go visit him I need to go to Kentucky where my sister lives.

And so I just want to go to Californa because I want to paint with my grandma and spend time with her.

When you are learning about tattoos you need to have patience,
texture and skills. NOT That You Don't, just maybe you aren't there yet, so when you are learning you need to stay calm and start small, then work your way to bigger stuff. When you work with tattoos, you must know the way of the ancient art, like you need to know texture, and color, and you must - in every tattoo business - you must connect with your customers and have an imagination.

And when you get over 21, you can get the job, but remember you need to come up with your own tats.

"Oh, sorry. You won't know what tats mean until you become a tattoo artist, but I will tell you what it means. It is slang for tattoos, but you know young people nowadays.

I took my interest in tattoos about last summer, and it was going great until my grandpa found out, and he went nuts and you know what he said? Well, I am going to tell you. He said, "You ain't going to do that 'cause it isn't right, ans you are probably going to get them all over your body. So, no!!"

And, of course, my mom said when my grandpa left, "Don't worry; you can do anything you want, OK."

And I said, OK. So I went back into my room, and still, to this day, every time I mention about tattoos, my grandpa goes nuts and I just walk away saying, "Sorry I ever brought it up."

We went to the museum yesterday and when we got there it was so big and cool, and we got to look around for like a half a second, and then we were split in to different groups and shown around there was four groups and you got like thirty minutes in each group and we saw all kinds of cool artifacts.

I like all of the pictures and all the art because I love to draw, so I was thinking some day that my art would go up in the museum some day. And the coolest thing I saw in that place was a bird made out of nails. Oh no, that wasn't; the coolest thing ever was a room filed with lights and sound, and when we went out a lady talked and said to move and listen and when we did she also said to look at it close - you can see stuff, and hear bells and people singing. It was so cool.

My weekend was a good weekend cause I went to my dad's house and we rented a movie called Jennifer's Body and it was a good movie but it was a horror so I am not going to talk about it, but if you are into horror movies I would recommend it to everyone who loves those movie to rent that. Anyway my week was a cool weekend because I got to choose where I want my party was at my house waiting that horror movie and eating pizza and some of the girls will spend the night and others will go home.

Now we are in school and we are learning how weather is, and we just watched Bill Nye the Science Guy, and it was so cool and we have a sub so we kicked on the math and we got all our homework done but my friend Odyssey missed three days so she has lots of homework and I feel really bad for her. All that homework! I am surprised that she hasn't turned in to Albert Einstein yet! But to day we finished all of the math and activities we were going to do.

And today we had three teachers in our room and and we also went to gym and then recess and then we ate lunch and now we are writing and then we are going to read a National Geographic and then I will go home and I will ask my mom if she can buy me some cards for my party and then we don't have school on Monday so that will be cool and that is what happened this week.

So we are reading a book called the Weird Watsons go to Birmingham. It is a funny story, and it reminds me of my family because we are kind of weird too, so and along on their trip they run into some trouble like this - one time they were in their car and Byron and Joey and Kenneth and their grandma said that in the lake there live Wool Pooh, but the real name was whirl pool. And Joey was scared but he still went near the lake and he saw some fish and so he went in to the water and then he saw a turtle and then he jumped in the water and he missed the turtle and out of some fantasy he named the the whirl pooh a.k.a. the whirl pool.

"Once upon a time there, "said Bob.

"Hey did you see Joe's new haircut?" said Dave rudely interrupting Bob.

"I know it's so cool I love it!" said Trevor.

"Excuse me but I was telling a story!" said Bob.

"So we were talking about a cool new haircut," said Dave.

"And what were you going to tell, a boring old fairy tale!" said Trevor.

"N.. Not really. OK, yes!"

Just get on with it!"Said Bob.

And so Bob left and Trevor, Dave went on talking about Joe's new haircut, Dave said that the haircut looked so smooth it was as smooth as a baby's butt, maybe even softer.

"I want that haircut," said Trevor!"

"NO I want that haircut!"

and in the history of haircuts the biggest fight broke out!

"HEY!!! Maybe you both can have the same haircut"

And Dave looked at Trevor and Trevor looked at Dave and then they both made up and the were called the twins because they had the same haircuts forever. Until Joe got a new haircut.

Hi this is Ham Halerin back from another cold weekend, and I can't believe this, but my mom just bought a cool four wheeler and since my dad is going to Anchorage for two weeks, now I get to ride the four wheeler. And I can go hang out with my friends and when I come back to school I need to make sure I bring my hat and gloves to drive safe and stay warm. This is Ham and I am logging out. See you tomorrow.

I started watching cartoons when I was about 4 years old and I have ever since. And I think cartoons are funny. Me and my mom like this one show named Road Runner, and it takes place in Nevada, and it is about a coyote who loves eating road runners but he can never get his hands on any. In this show there is only one, and he tries and tries, but he keeps failing and I mean because the only reason he can't catch him is because he is way too fast and too clever, and every time he tries to, he always gets hurt. So that is my favorite show.

Today we studied about static and we got to do an experiment on it, and what we did is that we got all kinds of different material and we also got cool balloons. Mine was very cool to me. It is in my backpack right now, but on the experiment we were looking for things that stuck to the balloon and what surprised me is that salt stuck to the balloon and so did the balloons. Why? Because they went away from each other instead of coming together, and then my hair stood up for the rest of the day.

When I went home my mom asked me, "Why is your hair standing up."

And I told her, "Science, Mom," and it was fun.

And she just nodded and said, "Ok sweety, whatever you say."

And then I went to my room and cleaned it, and my mom was so happy she hugged me so much I could have almost popped like a balloon in a dart contest if she squeezed me any harder.
And then I just went in my room and started to draw and when it was bed time my mom came up to me and said, "Guess what we are having for diner tomorrow!"

And I said, "What?"

And she said,"We are having corn beef hash."

I am going to tell about a girl that became my friend and I am sure you are going to want to know how we met. It was about a year ago and we met in the 5th grade and when she came she sat right next to me and during lunch she had no one to sit with, but I came and sat with her, and she said her name was Bridget, and I said my name, and we started to talk and then at recess I introduced her to a kid named Lawrence and then all of us became friends, and we are in 6th grade now, and still friends. I hope we can stay friends forever. And that is how I met my friend.

Mr. Adams and Mr. Andrew both work on studying avalanches from a little shack that probably smelled like old cheese and feet that had been soaked in month-old soup, and it probably smelled like coffee too!! So they monitor avalanches from that teeny little hut. The question is how. How do they make the avalanche go?

Or do they just sit there and wait for it, or does someone go up there and yell at the top of their lungs and then run down the hill or ski down or snowboard down. Maybe they drive down. I don't have a clue, but one thing I know is that this is a dangerous job and I want to be like them when I get older. OH, wait, that was two things, oh well.

I read an article about panda bears and about half of the pandas are dieing every day. Most pandas are kept safe in captivity and when some of the babies are all grown up they are released into the wild. Pandas are a white and black bear that's pretty amazing, and maybe people should stop cutting down bamboo trees because that's their food, and we're stealing it. Not many pandas are going to survive.

You can read the story for yourself.

I am reading a book called Bedeviled. It is about a girl named Angel who is in middle school and her favorite band comes to Goodville. And the reason her mom picked that place is because the name is GOODville with a capital GOOD. Her mom likes small towns that no one notices.

And when Angel finds out she can't go to the concert she is shocked. And she was so mad she stormed out the door and went to her room, and a few hours later she asked again and again, and her mom got tired of it so she said you can go to the concert.

And when Angel kept saying YES! Now I can take Gabi. And when she was singing she did a crazy dance and that's where she heard her mom say in such a soft voice, You can go with me.

And all of a sudden she stopped dancing and turned to her mom and said WHAT!

"Yes, you can go with me.

NO. NO. NO! I cant go with you. Everyone else isn't going with someone.

"Well that's their parents decision, not their's. So do you want to go or not?"

NO.

Ok.

One day I was sitting in library and I knew we were going to color something but I just didn't know what. Then the librarian handed them out and I closed my eyes and waited for a sound a voice, but nothing. Until a voice came out of the blue; it is a super hero... Then more and more voices came. I opened my eyes and a super hero paper was in front of me. I was supposed to color it. On one side, there was a boy, and on the other, a girl. I colored them both, and turned it in, and called her Green Lantern Girl, just like the Green Lantern. And the boy on the back, I made him up. I called him Teeny Man because he can shrink. And that is my two super heroes I made in library. Now they are hanging in the library.

It was my cousin's birthday and she lived in Valdez. So we wanted to go there. We arrived at night so we had to set up camp at night. Then we went to sleep. The next morning I was ready to go fishing. So we went to the docks, then the rocks, and we fished at the rocks.

The whole day was going good until I reached in the water with the net to grab a fish, and then just like that I slipped on the rocks and hit my head on a rock. I was unconscious in the water.

And then when the waves came in I went out until one big wave covered me and about a yard away I washed up on the rocks and about an hour later I woke up in my mom's car with dry cloths on and the whole time I didn't let go of the net.

And that's all I remember.

It all started at school. One day I kept seeing things
like right out of the corner of my eye. Like I saw dancing monkeys, but when I looked, nothing. I thought I was going crazy until I got home.

Everything was going great until... My 8 year old brother jumped out from the curtains wearing pants with his underwear over them and yelled out dutdutdudu Undy Man! And he scared me so much I screamed so loud the neighbor next door banged on our wall and said, "You kids! keep it down out there. And my brother yelled out "Sorry!" And I sent him outside to play.

And after finishing my homework my mom came home and said, "Why is Robert outside in his underwear yelling, Go Undy Man, go, go Undy Man, go, and doing a freaky dance in front of the neighbor's?"

"You realize he is just playing."

"I know."

And that was the weirdest day of life.
And an hour later my little brother came in and said, "I am tired."

Then my mom shouted out, It is diner time! And we had juicie hamburgers and nice and fat hot dogs. Then we watched a movie, and brushed our teeth, then went to bed.

And I went to school the next day and that day was very normal.

I am going to tell you about Fly on the Wall. It is a cool thing Mr. Noon made up. You go around the school and you get put in a place where you write down everything you see or hear. My class did it 3 times.

The first time I was near the stairs at the back of the building and when someone came in, the wind came in too. The place was a real quiet place and when the wind flows up the stairs you can see your breath in front of your face and you could hear whispers from everywhere.

The second time I was in a warmer place. I was upstairs by Ms. Hill's room. Everything was going off like a siren. I heard and saw a teacher walk by with heavy footsteps and squeeky shoes. And I saw Mr. Noon and Ms. Streeter walking towards me, closer and closer, I felt helpless sitting down on the floor.

This story begins 4 years ago when I was 8. I have been going to hockey on every Friday and I had two favorite players on that team. The first one was Scotty; the second one was Vany. They were my favorite until they had to leave to go to the NHL but before they did, for my 10th birthday, I got to be the mascot for them. I get to go out on the ice and I dance. It really is fun.

It all started one weekend when I was at my dad's house, but before I went to my dad's house, I just come back from hunting and we spent many many hours out there going down old Murphy Dome Road, and we saw nothing the whole way there.

So when I got back, I went over to my dad's house. And when we got there I saw a moose head on Brian's car...oh gosh, I am so sorry, Brian is the owner of my dad's house. So I went to the back of the moose, and you know me, I am so curious; I looked and I could see through the eyes of the moose. And I never forgot that day.

The spotted hyena is one of the most dangerous hyenas. It can take down a whole water buffalo, but the only way to take it down is in a pack. They also run after animals until the animals get tired of running.

The spotted hyena has been spotted eating pots and pans because it is so hungry, and it can run up to 30 miles an hour, and it can eat bones, fur, meat, and did you know they eat beetles and berries.

The most part that scares me is how fast it can run and it can eat bones, so when I read that part I imagined that it caught me and ate me whole and when they laugh, it's like they are laughing at you. And if you see a wild animal please stay away.

It all started when it was my sister's birthday; she was turning 19, and her husband got her a dog - half pitbull/Alaskan Husky. She named it Boskow. So he grew up and became a guard dog and sometimes we would take him camping, he would get down in the water and grab a fish, and I would catch it in a bucket, and then one day, because he is just mean, he bit me. So we had to put him down. And that's the last I ever saw him.
