My psp is on of my favorite things. It is a playstaion put portable that's what psp stands for playstaion portable. I really like it because it entertains me while I am on the plane ride. I have about nineteen games for it but my favorite ones are NBA 08, NHL 07, and soccer. I got it about two years ago at christmas right before we went to Mexico and I was really happy because I had something to do on the plane. I think PSP are one of the coolest things ever to invent. Sometimes when I play it too much my mom doesn’t like it because I’m on it a lot. so I try not to play that much.

Who was Seward?
William Henry Seward was the Governor of New York. Seward was born Florida, New York. He Married Francs Adeline Miller on October 20, 1824. The Raised five Children. His wife died in 1865. He died in October 10, 1872 at the age 71.

What did he do?

On March 24, 1989 the Exxon Valdez oil tanker spilt 11 million gallons of crude oil into the Prince William Sound. I think Exxon should pay more for the oil spill because The spill was horrible for alaska and the people that lived and worked in the Prince William Sound. Before the spill Prince William sound was beautiful place.

The ancient Greek Olympic games were a religious festival to honor Zeus the father of the Greek gods. The festival and the games were in Olympia. The Athletes were all males from all around Greece. The Games began in 776 BC when Koroibos, a cook from a city nearby won the stadium race, a foot race 600 feet long. That was the only time in their festival from 724 BC to 776 Bc. The games were held in Olympia every four years for 12 centuries.

The Time Machine

One day I was walking down the street passing the junk yard when I saw a little red dot on the sidewalk. I looked into the junk yard and saw it was a kind of projector. So I picked it up and went to the junk yard office. I walked in the door and there was a 30 year old guy sitting at his desk.
“What do you want?" he said.

“I was wondering how much does this cost” I said.

“You can have it for free” he said.

Then I went home. When I got home I ran to my room.

I like Basketball. it’s my third or fourth favorite sport. I don’t play basketball on a team but I might play on a school team this year.

I’m really good at lay ups and getting rebounds. I usually play at home, school, and at the Alaska Club. The games I like to play are a regular game, horse, knockout, and 21.

Do you like lunch ....Well I really do because it’s right in between breakfast and dinner. I really like lunch because it is also between recess and in the beginning of the afternoon.

For lunch I usually have a hot pocket, a granola bar, and a fruit cup and sometimes a few pieces of candy.

I think lunch is the second most important meal. I think it is weird that some people don’t eat lunch because it is right in the between the the day. I just think lunch is the best.

Info: my mind.

The most important position in hockey is goalie. I should know because I’m a goalie. I have three favorite goalies. Their names are Ryan Miller, Patrick Roy, and Robert Luongo.

Ryan Miller plays for the Buffalo Sabers and that’s the only team he has played for in the NHL. He is my second favorite goalie because he is really good and plays hard. I also think he is a really good example to other goalies.

Ipods are a mp3 player, but better, and a lot more cooler. I have an Old Ipod nano. I really like it because it is small and can hold a lot of music.

My favorite songs are Head Strong by Trapt, Crank that By Soulja Boy, and Thanks for the Memories by Fall out Boy. I like to listen to a 12 song playlist before every hockey game to get me ready for the game and get my head in the game.

In my playlist I have probably the best 12 songs you get that can get your head in the game ( that I think can). That’s what I like about Ipods and my favorite songs.

One day I was walking down to the local outside hockey rink to meet my friend Jake. Jake is 12 years old an I’m 12 to and my name is Michel. When I got there I realized I forgot a puck but then I saw one on the ice.

When I got my skates on I went on the ice and shot the puck around and then I heard a voice. I looked around then I heard.

“Look down hear” said the puck.

I looked down and I started yelling and screaming.

“What are you doing” I said.

“Being a magic puck” said the puck.

“ What do you do” I said.

Tutankhamun was one of the most famous Pharaohs ever. He was likely to be the eighteenth dynasty king. Tutankhamun was the only pharaoh to have a nickname, King Tut. King Tut was 9 years old when he became king. King Tut was born in 1342 BC and lived for 18 years.

I think Mummies are really cool. Mummies are really cool because they are a dead body wrapped up in cloth.

It was very important to ancient Egyptians to preserve bodies. They preserved the body because they thought that they went to the afterlife. Mummies are usually rich people and kings. The Egyptians believed in the afterlife so they made mummies. Egyptians believed that they would go into a different world.

I think the Egyptian Pyramids are really cool because they are really big and really amazing. The most amazing Pyramid is The Great Pyramid of Giza.

Most Pyramids were built during the Old and Middle Kingdom. People never knew how the pyramids were built. Many people have theories how pyramids were built but nobody really knows.

I’m going to write a report about King Tut the young king. I think King Tut is one of the most amazing kings ever because he was so young.

Tutankhamen Pharaohs?

His real name is Tutankhamen. He was one of the most famous pharaohs in Egypt. He was the only pharaoh to have a nickname (king tut). King Tut was only 9 years old when he became king. I think that that is just amazing because at that age to rule a whole civilization. He died nine years later at age 18. King Tutankhamen’s tomb was at the Valley of the Kings.

JAK 3 is really fun because you have to do these missions that can be really hard or really easy so you never know how hard it's going to be until you get to the mission. One of the missions is that you have to drive around in this car and get these wires thing and in amount of time without getting shot by other cars.

In the game you have this weird animal named Dexter that talks to you like when you are battling and you get killed he says “I wish I was on that other guy's shoulder.”

I’m going to tell stuff that happened to me when I was playing hockey. I’m goalie in hockey and it was really fun.

This weekend when I was playing in a hockey game this really really really big kid slid into me and I couldn’t move and they scored. I had to argue with the ref but he said it was a goal. I was so mad that they scored because I could of had a shut out and again I was really mad. I was mad because they scored of course and I was mad at the ref, too, because he should of called it no goal.

The Austere Academy by Lemony Snicket
Book report by Matthew

The book I chose was “The Austere Academy” by Lemony Snicket. This is the fifth book of the series. I chose this book because I’ve been reading the series and it has been really good. I expected this one would be good too.

Christmas is right around the corner and I’m really excited because I’m getting a lot of cool things (I think). This year I want a laptop so I can do stuff, I also want a cell phone because a lot of my friends are getting them and if a Emergency happens and I need a phone, I also want NHL 08 that's one of the games I want for Christmas. Christmas is one of the most funnest time of year because you get to open presents, spend time with your family, and the funnest part having the big dinner.

This weekend I went to Anchorage to play hockey . We had to play the really hard teams in our league. We left at 7:00 am so I wasn’t that happy to wake up but I was excited to play hockey.

This weekend I going to Anchorage to play hockey and I’m really happy about going and hear I’m telling you what I’m going to do.

On Friday morning I’m driving down at 7:00 AM with MY Mom,Dad, and my sister and of course me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really hope that I get to sit in the back sit so I can sleep for most of the way down there.

Halloween is tomorrow and I’m really excited because one of my best friends, Jack, is having his birthday party tomorrow. I do not know what I’m going to be but I’m going to the store to get a mask. (Thats all I get so I can run really fast so we get all the houses in my neighborhood.)

On Friday we did a dissection on two fetal pigs. Mr. Tumi our science teacher brought another science person to help dissect the two pigs to help us. Were doing this to learn what the body looks like and what the body does.

We dissected the two fetal pigs to learn about the body. We learned how the body works and how all the parts connect. Example, like how the blood moves all around the body, like into the lungs in the intestine.

Today we dissected a baby pig. We were learning what the inside of the body looks like and how it runs and what the parts in a body look like. At first when they took the baby pigs out of the box it was kind of sad but it was for our learning. So when our science teacher Mr. Tumi started to dissect the pig I was kind of freaked out but I went up there. After a while I touched the heart, liver, and lungs and they all felt really weird.

Winter Is around the corner and we have snow already and I'm exited. I like snow because then hockey starts, you can make a snow fort and spy on cars that pass by and hide from people that are looking for you, and you can build a ice rink. I don't build an ice rink but our neighbors do, and I go over there a lot.

One of my favorite sports is baseball. In baseball it can be boring and exiting at the same time. When I play baseball in the league I pretty much never sit on the bench because I’m really good.

This is a another answer from Spin The Globe where kids are asking us questions from Australia. http://spintheglobe.wikispaces.com/Sports

There are pictures of the team logos on the web site above.

Are these all the Alaskan hockey teams?
Answer: No, not even one of those hockey teams are Alaskan. Its amazing because Alaska is such a big hockey state that we don't even have one of those teams. Those teams are all professional and we don’t have a professional team here except for a arena football team that plays in Anchorage.

One of the best video games is Tony Hawk Project 8. In the game you have to make a person and pick what kind of shirt, pants, shoes, hat, and board that you want to wear and use.

In level 1 when I got the game it was hard because you had to do a 15 feet grind first, then a 25 feet grind, and last one 50 foot grind. After you beat that you move up a couple positions out of 175 positions. The whole point of the game is to get to be 8 through 1 position to win the game.

This is a answer to a question from our other web site that we have at www.spintheglobe.wikispaces.com, and the kids asking the question are from Australia.

What are some spectator sports:
Answer: Yes there is, One of the really big spectator sports is Hockey. Hockey is one of biggest sports in Alaska. It isn’t the state sport, but I think it should be because it is way bigger then Dog mushing and it is a way bigger spectator sport.

My grandpa is the best person in the world except for my mom and dad. He takes me to places like to ice rink early for the Nanooks and to the Goldpanners games. He is the best and is fun. He teaches fifth grade at U-Park, and it is cool because if I need help with school work he will help. He might even take me to Anchorage to watch some hockey games. He has tons of movies and when I go there I get to watch a lot of them. He is best guy in the world and that is my grandpa.
