There were many Greek Gods, but the mean two were Zeus and his wife Hera. They are really brother and sister, but back then it wasn't uncommon to marry your sister/brother. Hera and Zeus were the King and Queen of the gods.

There were 12 mean Greek Gods; their names were Zeus, Hera, Apollo, Poseidon, Hermes, Ares, Pan, Hades, Athena, Artimus, Aphrodite, and Demeter. They each were in charge of something. For instance Apollo was god of light. Aphrodite was the god of love and beauty. There is a lot more to know about the Greek Gods.

Denmark, that is the only thing you hear about when you are at my grandparents' house. My Grandfather grew up there. He tells me stories of how he and his brothers would run down the streets. My favorite story was the one about how him and his brother were playing then my grandpa got pushed into the fountain close to their house.

If you didn't already know this, which you probably didn't, I am part Danish. If you don't know already, when you're Danish it means you come from Denmark. Pretty sweet huh. There were two reasons I chose Denmark to write about. One, because of my grandpa and his stories. Two, because about a year ago I saw a movie that was filmed in Denmark and there was a scene in the movie where the girl was walking down the streets. Just on a simple walk, birds were singing and the sun was shining. It just made me want to get on the first flight to Denmark and just walk down the streets just like her. I know it sounds cheesy, but its true.

My favorite animals in the world are hamsters - dwarf hamsters to be exact. Hamsters live about four to five years if you're lucky. All hamsters are different. They are different sizes, shapes, and colors. Did you know that hamsters can reproduce in about 18 days!

My friend had a hamster and it had a litter of 16 baby hamsters. Their favorite food is seeds but that really depends on your hamster; it may be different. Who knows?

Hamsters are very delicate animals. Most of them will probably be as long as your middle finger. But even though they are small they do get hungry, like anything out there. But if you forget to feed them and you have two, the smaller one will be eaten. That's right, eaten. Now isn't that creepy? You should still get a hamster, but just not two in the same cage. Good luck with your hamster.

Today we went on a pretty cool field trip. We went to a circus - not a real one, but it was close. Carnies, scary people, you no stuff you would see at a real circus. There were huge bunnies that looked pretty creepy, I might add. There were penguins, polar bears, ant-eaters, a giant paper bag, frogs, birds, and others. But one of the things I didn't like was the music. It was the kind of music that made you feel like your were being hypnotized. Other then that it was really cool.

Did you no that Sea Turtles are going extinct? Dr. Wallace J. Nichols said in Net Geo that they were going extinct from people eating them in soups and or turtle stake.

When I read this I couldn't believe it. I was shocked. One, I didn't know Sea turtles were going extinct, and second, I had no idea that people would even consider eating turtles!

If you live in the U.S then you probably don't eat turtle, but people who don't most of the time get very ill or even die from it. Do you know why this is? Well I do, and it is not something you really want to hear, but it is our fault.

Its from the pollution in the water; it is making the fish and turtles sick and then if you eat them you can get sick as well. If you want to know more, click on this link.
Sea Turtle Soup? No Thanks!

This morning we went to the museum of the north, over by the university. We talked about the pieces of art they had. My class was put into four groups and were taken on a tour then rotated.
I was in group four. The first piece looked at was the Alaska Music Room. All the sounds were based on how high the sun was, or how high the moon. There were five different sounds and lots of colors. It made me feel nauseus. I did not have as much fun as I thought I would. I don't want to go back there again. I have more fun doing math.

I talked to a friend of mine to see what she thought of the museum. So I made some questions and started asking, "So how did you like the museum today?"

"I thought it was very colorful and enjoyed it a lot."

WWhat did you enjoy about the museum?"

"I loved it how they put so much hard work and time into the building itself, the walls weren't even strait they were diagonal."

"If you were to go back who would you take and even would you go again."

"I would go again and I would bring my friend Bridget.

"Stop!" "It's my turn!" I was yelling at my brother.

So my brother just yelled beck, "I don't care; it's mine!"

"No it is not. Mom and Dad got it for us, not just you!"

"Hey mom can you tell Bret it's my turn to play, please?"

My mom told my brother "Bret, give your sister a turn. You have been playing that thing for six hours. It's time to take a break!"

We had just got a XBox for Christmas; we were so happy. Me and my brother wanted one for about two years. We asked for it for every birthday, Christmas, any holiday that you get presents for.

Then my brother gave me a real mean scowl. Then he threw the remote at me. That thing really hurt. It hit me right in the leg and that sucker hurt real bad. But I didn't mind all that much because I finally got to play.

I had been waiting for three hours to play my game. So I switched out my brother's game for my game. It was a new game and XBox. The game was called (Left For Dead 2) In the game you go around killing zombies.

Colors, colors everywhere
on the walls, and all the dolls.
Colors like blue, and green, and reds, there, too,
and the Violet pilot cooking the stew.
And don't forget the man in the moon,
Because he just might be watching you.

I have this friend who really isn't very nice because she is always rude and steals my stuff. See, it all started when I was 8. I had been playing at her house and my dad said it was time to come home so we ran down to my house because I live right down the street from her. When I got home my dad had gotten ice cream for my brother and me. I ran upstairs to ask my mom if she could spend the night.

My mom said, "No, not tonight."

So I went back down stairs and she was gone and so was my ice cream, so my brother shared with me. But after that we didn't really play anymore.

About one year later we started playing again. But when my mom and dad went to some other place that wasn't here, I don't remember what the pace was called, they brought me back a really pretty lipstick holder and a big huge Dr. Pepper lip gloss thing.

Then one day I showed my friend the holder and lip gloss, then my mom was calling me, so I went out to see what it was. And when I came back to my room, she had to go home. So then she left right away. My lips were chapped, so I went to get the lip gloss and it was gone.

It was the first day of fifth grade. I wondered if there were any new students. When I first walked into my new class, I saw Jack, Rannon, Izzy, Tanner, and some others I knew. But there was one kid I had never seen before. So I walked up to him and said with a big smile, "Hello."

He looked up at me and I could tell that he was thinking that I was a weirdo. But he was nice and said "hi" back. He had bright red hair and freckles.

I asked, "Whats your name?" He didn't answer me, so I said, "Are you new?" Even though I knew he was. He looked at me and said, "Ya and my name is Sean."

I told him my name was Jenna.

Then the teacher said it was time to sit down and said, "So how many of you are new to our school?" Sean raised his hand. She asked him what his name was and he answered, "Sean." Then we started the day. Later I saw Sean and Rannon hanging out at gym. So I walked over said, "Hi."

Then I got hit in the head with a lime green soccer ball. I went to the nurse's office. After that we had recess. When I got outside Sean and Rannon came up to me and said, "Are you OK Jenna?"

The Holocaust (World War II) was a horrible war in 1943-1948. That war lasted five years, and if you don't already know, it was when the Nazis took over Denmark and some o†her places. They would find all the Jews in schools and on trains and other places and take them to work camps. Then when the people were not needed any more, they were killed. They were put in gas chambers and were shot and killed other ways I don't want to name.

But there was a secret group of people called the Resistance who would secretly fight the Nazis. For example, when Jews were being sneaked out of Denmark to Sweden, the Nazis started to notice, so they would train dogs and have them sniff out where people were hiding on the boats. So the doctors and scientists made a powder that was made of dry rabbit blood and cocaine and when the dogs would sniff it, their scent wouldn't work for a short amount of time. After that, almost every captain would have one.

I would like to tell you a little story about how I am in orchestra and how we have a Christmas show every year. We play three songs, but the weird thing is they're not even Christmas songs. The first one is called Dragon Slayer, The second one is Wild Western Frontier, then the last one is Russian Music Box. Do you see what I mean? Nothing to do with Christmas at all. I think it is rather weird.

Then there are only like five people in my group of instruments. I play the voila. Everyone always calls it a violin, but its not. It sorta looks like one, but it is thicker and has a deeper sound. I can't stand it when that happens even my mom sometimes calls it a violin.

We have a music a ABC's. It is A B C D E F G then it just keeps repeating. It has four strings on it. I think it would be harder to play a wind instrument because you have to have really good lungs. But it is pretty easy to play a voila, or violin, or cello, and base, but not so easy to play a flute or trumpet, now is it? Just think about that next time you have the chance to play in the orchestra.

Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep. I woke up one morning with my throat as dry as the Sahara Desert. I got up slowly and walked up the stairs. I opened the cabinet and grabbed a glass and filled it with ice cold water. Then I went back downstairs. My friend Blue Panda Spy woke up and screamed, "Oh it's just you. I thought you were a robber."

I looked at her with a funny look, and then we both started to laugh. We heard a loud ringing beside me. It was my phone. I picked up the phone and said, "Hello."

"Oh hi sweet heart." It was my mom.

"Hi mom; what going on, why did you call?"

"You need to come home; I have a surprise for you."

"O.k. I'll be home soon, bye."

I was about to hang up when she said, "Oh, by the way, the surprise starts with an R."

She hung up. I told Blue Panda Spy. She thought the surprise was a rabbit. I told her it couldn't be a rabbit because my dad has allergies. Then I thought to myself, I bet it's a name for something. I told Blue Panda Spy I was going home and finding out what the surprise is. Then I got my shoes and left.

Today I read a story called Mystery of the Tattooed Mummy It was a great story. The mummy was a girl who still had all her hair and had tons of tattoos covering her body. I would tell you her name but the site didn't tell her name. They said that she died very young. They think she died giving birth. But once more they are not sure.

Today I was a fly on a wall, listening in on conversations. I heard so many things like people walking, laughing, crying, and lots of talking. I saw a lot of things, too, like a little kid beat-boxing down the hallway, two girls talking about a boy in their class, my teacher, and so on.

Have you ever been a fly on a wall? Oh right, by the way I don't mean a real fly sitting on a wall or a weirdo in a fly costume buzzing around. I simply mean have you ever sat down somewhere and just listened to the things you hear then written them down.

I was right outside a first grade classroom when I heard a kid screaming and cheering across the hall because he lost his first tooth. I saw him run down the hall to the nurse. He came back with a plastic tooth holder with his tooth inside.

The only bad thing about being a fly on the wall is that people always think you're in some sort of trouble. When I was sitting there a kid came up to me and said, "Ha, Ha, you got in trouble." Then he ran back to his classroom. I think you should ask your teacher if you can be a fly on a wall or you could just do this at home.

Things you will need:
*A piece of paper/ notebook
*A pencil

We are making dragons in class and everywhere it is so cool. We each made a dragon that was all our own. It could have anything you wanted on it. Like my dragon, it has a bug like head, a big old fat body, and butterfly wings. It looks very weird but he is my dragon and his name is Joe. Don't ask why I named him Joe because its a long story. But some dragons have evil eyes and colorful scales and things like that.

You should ask your teacher at your school to do that with the class or just at home. It is very fun and you can add fire, too.

5-4-3-2-1 a person has just been kidnapped somewhere in the world. I don't want this to happen ever again, so here are 5 simple things you can do to stay safe and out of danger.

1. Always lock your door before you go to bed.

2. Don't forget to lock and close your window when you leave or just when your heading off to bed.

3. If you go out at night always go with a friend and bring your cell-phone if you have one.

4. If you park in a parking garage at night and there is someone sitting in the car next to yours and there just sitting there DON'T get in your car; walk back to whereever you came from and have a friend walk you to you car, and get in the passenger seat - not the diver's seat.

5. This is the simplest thing in the book, don't talk or go with some person you just met.

Think about what you just read and follow the steps and please stay safe.

When you're at school you have recess. When you look outside your school, what do you see.......you see nothing but the playground stuff right? When you look out the window, don't you wish you could be out there playing? I do.

Think of it this way, would you rather be in school having your teacher or sub stuff the lesson down you throat, or be outside playing and having lots of fun? I mean, really think about that. But that does not mean to ditch school. I just mean, join student council and talk about maybe once a week, let you guys have ten or even five minutes more recess. Try it; it may work.

He He He He He! According to "Frightful Animals" in National Geographic, the hyena is known for it giggles. The hyena is a comedy magnet because it is always giggling. These scary mammals are so loud that you can hear their giggles from three miles away! They have large strong teeth, and can run very fast. These mammals are so fast that that they can run 30 miles per hour. That is just a little slower then a car goes most of the time.

They can eat anything and yes, I mean ANYTHING! Some campers have seen them eating their steel pots and pans, which is good for the hyenas because they can eat every part of their prey, like the fur, bones, meat, and so on. And if they're in a pack, they can bring down a whole water buffalo.

Now you know about the hyena's speed, strength, and noise level. So don't be fooled by their playful giggle, because there is nothing funny about them. He He He He He He He He He He He He He!

Halloween is coming and I want to know, do yo have your costume yet, and if you don't, hurry up and get one before all the good ones go. Oh what did you say you want to know? What I am going as for Halloween?

I am going to be candy corn, and yes, you read it correctly. I am going as candy. One big piece of CANDY CORN! I am going to get some wire, some felt, and grandma's help, and before you know it you will be looking at a giant piece of.......CANDY CORN!

So remember, get your costume fast. Hurry; go right now. Stop reading this and buy a costume. Why are you still here? GO! Just kidding, or was I?

Carpet, four walls, lap-tops, twenty-four chairs and desks, door, lights, friends, white boards, this is what I see around me. It's fall, and rather boring don't you think? But when I look outside I see bright colors. Reds, Yellows, and Oranges. The leaves are falling off the trees. They look like little paper planes soaring across the sky. It is the most beautiful time of the year from my perspective. I love watching the leaves fall. They remind me of jumping in a big pile of leaves when I was four. My brother and I raked up a big pile of leaves and jumped. I think that was the best time I ever had in the fall. At least the best time I can remember.

What is your favorite time of year? done

"Is that Cooper?" Those are the words I think in the morning when I wake up. Cooper is my dog.

He is tan and white, and has an outrageous underbite. I mean, that thing is huge. An underbite is when your jaw is out further then your top teeth. He also needs dogie braces. Very badly, I might add. He is rather small.

He is Lhasa Apso, Maltes, and poodle, all combined. He is a sweet dog who licks too much. I mean, he is like a machine that just won't stop. He was the runt of the litter, so he is a wimp.

He is weird because he loves Peanut butter Pb for short. If you put some on a spoon, he'll lick it for hours on end, even when it is gone.

The first words I think in the morning are "Is that Cooper?" The only reason I think that is because he comes in in the morning and takes up my whole bed. That also explains the bad back story. Like last night he pushed me off my own bed, but he thinks it's his. Now you have heard about my dog Cooper.

Hi there, my name is Hamster Spy, as you already know. In my stories I get hurt a lot, and I got even more this weekend because of stupid old karma. I think it is karma, anyway. Our teacher is asking us all to write about our weekend, and my weekend was not that great.

First on Friday night I spent the night at my friend's house and she was very nice but when we were playing tennis, and her brother and his friends were playing football right next to us. Her brother threw the ball, and it hit me on my head. And yes, he plays football on his school's team, so it was a hard throw. And yes, it hurt very badly.

Next, on Saturday, I spent the night at my other friend's house, and I stubbed my toe three times on her dog's bone. When I fell asleep, they put whipped cream on my hand, and tickled my face and put whipped cream on my face. But the trick was on her, because I got some on her couch.

On Sunday, my mom got really mad at me, and I don't remember why. Then on Monday night, I helped my mom, and did nice things and all the bad things stopped.

The meaning of this story is, well I don't know what it is at all. But what I do know is I hate dumb old karma.

Once there was a girl named, OK I can't start my story like this. I mean, really, how many times have you heard that one before?

Hi I am Hamster Spy and I am here to tell you a story about a stupid scooter. It all started one nice warm summer day my cousin was in town. She saw the motor scooters and she wanted to go for a ride. So we did.

Well, get this, it was not a very fun ride. We went down the street and dodged the the big bump in the road and kept going. But on the way back, I was riding full speed and took one hand off the scooter to wave to my friend's mom. She waved back and then, CRASH! I flipped over the handlebars and landed on the rocks. I skidded left and was screaming at the top of my lungs. It felt like I had just been stabbed in the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee.

My cousin rode off down the street to get my mom, as my purple dress became red and wet. It was as if someone had dumped me into a puddle of blood, and I was just soaking it up.

Hi, I am Hamster Spy and my back is so bad, that when I wake up I am in major pain and it almost hurts so bad that I can't walk - no joke. Once one cold winter day I was sleeping because it was about 6:30 am and I jerked my neck, and woke screaming. So my mom took me to the doctor and he said I had a real knot in my back and to put heat on it. It didn't work though and i started throwing up. My mom took me to see the chiropractor and he said putting heat on it was the worst thing to do. I should have put a cold ice pack on it. But anyway I had heart my back so badly that my spine was pinching a nerve witch explains the throwing up. But the chiropractor put my back, back in to place. The moral of this story is that doctor is a mean, mean man.
