I don’t believe in the Snowstalker because in 5 million years, as the scientists predict, Earth will become too hostile for humans and the mythical “Snowstalker” lives in a frozen wasteland once known as Paris. The Snowstalker has 6-inch canine teeth used to server the arteries of it’s prey. The scientists say that this isn’t the future version of a mountain lion, a wolf, or a bear. The scientists claim its closest ancestor is a wolverine. The only way for me to believe this is for scientists to make one suitable for frigid, cold weather.

What happens when you eat an entire chocolate cake for breakfast? What happens when you you put a worm down your older brothers shirt? What happens when you name a huge dog "kitty"? What happens when you sit on top of a really tall basketball hoop? What happens when you chew gum on the bus? What happens when you fall off your skate board? What does happen anyway?

Well if you eat a whole cake for breakfast you get sick. If you put a worm down your brother's shirt then your parents will probably get mad at you. If you name your dog kitty all your neighbors will be really confused when you call out the word kitty and a huge dog comes running down the street. When you sit on a b ball hoop that's really tall you get stuck (most likely). When you chew gum on the bus you get in trouble and you get a D.R. And when you fall off your skate board you get hurt; it's as simple as that.

This will probably be my last on tell the raven. I have been writing stories, writing comment on other peoples good stories. I don't mean to brag, but I have written over 50 stories on this website! Whenever I can't think of something to write, I comment on other stories. I think that all my classmates are very good writers! I will miss writing in this website. I will miss all my teachers, all the fun I had with my friends. Some of my friends are going to different middle schools! I will miss sledding on the hill in winter. I will miss recess! I will miss EVERYTHING!

Goodbye! `

I read two stories on National Geographic about space junk. I read both of them because I wanted to know what different people think about space junk. I also wanted to learn different facts.

The first story I read, I though was more interesting. I learned lots of facts. The U.S. Surveillance Network used a radar and found more than 13,000 pieces smaller than four inches. There are also millions of tinier pieces such as flecks of paint and bits of plastic... wow! Space Junk includes whole satellites, parts of satellites, deployed rocket bodies, human waste, and many more random stuff. NASA has found space junk a serious problem and they are trying to get rid of the junk as fast as they can. If you want to look at this article, click on this link:
http://science.nationalgeographic.com/science/space/solar-system/orbital....

The second story I read only has a couple of facts. One that I found was that space junk is interfering with robotic missions and human space flight. The debris are guessed to stay steady through 2055, then they will increase. Scientists say that removing big pieces of old space junk will soon be necessary. If you want to see this article, go to http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/01/0119_060119_space_junk.html.

I read three articles on space junk from National Geographic. The articles said that there is more than 13,000 pieces of space junk that they can track, and millions of smaller ones. They also said that a small piece of trash can get up to speeds of 22,000 mph, which can destroy a satellite if it hits one. About 1 piece of space junk enters the atmosphere and burns up per day.

Last Thursday our class went on a field trip to our local college. When we first got on campus a lady took us to our first class. I don't know her name but she was nice. Our first class was the heart class, where we dissected cows' and pigs' hearts. I was partnered up with Jack and Marcelo. I was suprised Jack was more grossed out than I was.

After that we went straight to lunch which is kinda ironic because we dissected cow hearts and I had a hamburger which is made from cow. There was a really long line for food though so I had to eat really fast because there was only like 30 min to eat and I wasted 20 of those min getting my food and finding a place to eat. I no what a bummer.

Next we went to a class that they called career exploration. The woman tried to help us choose what we wanted to be, which I thought was stupid, because I already know what I want to be. I'm going to be a trial lawyer.

The last thing we did was we took a quick tour of the campus and dorms which are really small. Then we got on the bus and road home. But we didn't go without souvenirs; they gave us backpacks full of snacks, books, toys, and other cool stuff. They also gave us t-shirts. It was cool because they were white so we got a whole bunch of people sign them. I can't wait to get to college. I'm really looking forward to it but not so much the small dorm part. =)

I have had a cellular device for several years. The cellular device is also known as a cell phone. The cell phone has a wireless chip that is in it and then it transfers calls to another cell phone. I was talking to my mom about cell phones and she said that a long time ago, there was a phone called the brick. The brick was a phone that was actually the size of a brick and you had to put it into your bag and not your pocket. Now cell phones are tiny and are more like the size of mouse. Now days they have cell phones that flip, slide, and rotate. Most of the phones that you would have now would be a full keyboard phone. I know this sounds kind of strange but instead of people calling, they would text another person. I know what you're thinking, (This is crazy! How can they do this! Why don't they just call!)

I think that sending messages to another person is more convenient because if that other person is in a meting then you can just message them instead of calling them and interrupting them in their meeting.

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.

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

In two days on the 28th it will be my birthday. I'm going to turn twelve. This past weekend was my birthday party and it was pretty awesome. People have been asking me (especially my parents) what I wanted for my birthday. Of course I said the iPad. They also asked me what else. I said that I wanted blue paint. My room is really plain and white. It also has dots from the nails in the wall. I wanted to splatter paint my room... But I would need to move everything out of my room, and then covering my carpet, then splattering it all over.

I don't really know what I want for my birthday because things are getting more expensive and now that I'm getting older I don't really want toys or like things that I wanted when I was little. Mostly what I want now are laptops, cell phones, shoes, and etc.

My birthday this year I don't want to have, I don't even know why people celebrate it. All your birthday is, is the day that you were born, and a year of getting older. The big question is, why do they give you presents? If your birthday is when your born and getting a year older then what is the reason of getting presents. I think that when your young you should get them, but over time your just getting older and wanting less things.

In class, we are learning about and building rockets! I had a really fun time building and learning about rockets! At first, I thought that building the rockets were really difficult but as we went on with the project, I thought it was fun and easy! When I finished my rocket, I helped a few people with theirs. I thought the funnest part was when we were painting the rockets. I have a lot of smiley faces on mine!
We also watched some videos about rockets. My teacher, Mr. Noon, told the class about a teacher who won a contest to go into space. She went to training and learned all about the risks of going into space. She was in the rocket, ready for lift-off. 5-4-3-2-1...BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The rocket blew up and every one that was in it died. I thought that that was a very sad event. I think that going into space would be very scary. I don't know how anybody could do it!

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.

I am a golden dart frog in the amazon searching for some juicy insects. I am hoping along the path when I see a human walking past. It is a scientist looking for me. I'm thinking quick hide! But I'm too late. The scientist has me in a container, in his hands. He is bringing me back to his lab to study me.

Were in his lab. He takes me out of his jar, and tells his assistant "This is a golden poison dart frog. It is the most deadly of all the frogs. It's other name is the Terribilis." He picks me up and I hop out of his hand. What I want to say is "I'm one of the deadliest animals on earth, and if you didn't have those gloves on, my poison could kill you."

The scientist took a sample of my poison on my gleaming skin, and then let me go. I'm now outside and hoping back to my home. Then I see a happy couple. They saw me and picked me up. I tried to scare them away but they didn't know what I was. So they picked me up and my poison got on to them. The lady started to get itchy and then fainted to the ground. The man ran for help and went back to the lodge.

I am the golden poison dart frog, also known as the Terribilis. I am found in Columbia, South America. I'm only about the size of a quarter, and I can kill you with just the slightest touch.

One day as I was walking to school and something hit me on the head. I picked it up and in big letters on the thing it said, "I am a magic wand."

I held up the wand and said, "I wish a limo would pick me up and take me to school."

Out of nowhere a limo came and picked me up. But it didn't drive up. The limo literally picked me up with it's two front tires and started rolling on it's back wheels!

"Put me down! Put me down!" I yelled. Boom! The car dropped me.
"What was that for?"

"You told me to put you down."

"Who said that?" I asked.

"Me."

"Me who?"

"The car," the car said in an annoyed tone.

"You can talk?" I asked in amazement.

"Of course I can ta-Look out!" the car leaped in front of me, and something exploded in front of it.

The limo picked me up and drove off as fast as it could. When it finally stopped and put me down, I asked him, "What was that? It tried to kill me."

"That was Zizmor, and that wand you're holding is his."

"You mean he thinks I stole it."

"Yes."

"So why won't he let me just give it back to him?"

"Because he thinks you stole it and will stop at nothing to kill you."

"But why can't I just give it to him?"

"If anyone who is not a wizard or witch picks up a wand and makes a wish, the wand automatically becomes theirs and it can't leave their hand until they're dead."

"That means it's me or him."

"Yes"

"Aha! I've found you, you little thief!"

"I just wish he would go away," I said in an exasperated tone.

Poof! "Wow, that's all I had to do. Just wish him away."

"I guess," my limo said, just as amazed as me.

"Well, I guess it's time for you to go too. I wish my limo would go away. I just remembered I still have this wand attached to my hand. I know! I wish this whole incident never happened.

Bang! "Ow. My head. What hit me? Cool it's a magic wand! I wish limo would come pick me up..."

Today, I was walking to school and I found a magical wand. At first, I didn't know what it was so I picked it up and said "I wish I knew what this was." Then, out of know where, I knew what it was. It was a wand that made every wish come true. It was so awesome!

Well, first I wished for a plate of waffles because I didn't get a chance to eat breakfast. Guess what. I got a plate of waffles! Next, I went to school. I was in math and was SUPER bored. So, at break time, I wished for it to be the end of the day. There I was, at home, in less then a minute. I didn't feel like doing my homework, so I wished for it to be all done with all the right answers. The next day at school. I turned in my homework and got an C on it because I didn't show my work. Maybe next time I should do some of my own work. That day, I forgot my lunch at home. So then I wished for a piece of pizza and it appeared right in my hands! I ate it in less then two minutes. I love this wand so much.

Even now, I use my wishing wand daily. In fact, it is sitting in my desk right now. I will never stop using it.

That day

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 know I wrote about Garfield before but that was before I

I read a story on National Geographic about tigers and apes in a zoo that snuggled together.

First of all, Demis and Manis were two tiger cubs. They were rejected by their mother, so the people brought them to the zoo. They were joined with Nia and Irma, two orangutans. At first when they were together, they just played and took naps together. The zookeeper said, "One morning, I walked in and Nia and Irma hugged Demis, the tiger, and he lick-kissed them back!"

When they grew, their natural instincts started showing, so the zookeeper moved them to separate cages. Now, two other apes the zookeeper is raising also made friends with a leopard cub. I really enjoyed reading this, but I wish it would have given more information. I hope I get to read about the apes and the leopard also. You can find a picture and more information at

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.

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."

Adelie Penguins feed on tiny aquatic creatures such as shrimp-likekrill, Fish, and squid. Once on land, they build nest with small stones. When the female has a egg, the parents take turns sitting on it and make sure that it stays warm. During the Spring breeding season in October, they take to the Rocky Antarctic coastline were they live in communities called colonies.

The Adelie Penguin is a bird, and they are carnivorous. They can live up to 20 years. Their weight is 8.5 to 12 lbs.

You can go to National geographic.com and look up Adelie Penguins.

Just yesterday I was sitting in my room watching television and I hear my mom calling my name. I said "YES." She said "Come here." The biggest mistake that I have made in my whole entire life.

I have been wanting a laptop for years because all my friends have one, but my parents still don't get me one. I wanted one for Christmas, still nothing, birthday, nope. I have an iPod touch, but that's not as great as a laptop.

I think that the iPad isn't as great as a real laptop because of the touch screen and you can't close the screen. I think that it would be cool and awesome but what would happen after a year? What about if the screen gets scratched or if it doesn't come with a warranty?

Well this is the new type of computer and some things are great about it and other things are not. This is why I want it, but I don't want it.

Aardvarks live in Africa and South of Sahara. The Aardvarks name means "Earth Pig". The Aardvarks have Bunny-like ears and a Kangaroo-tail. But the Aardvarks are not related to any of those animals. The Aardvark spends their days underground and their nights putting their claws to good use. Hunting for their favorite food...Termites.

The Aardvark closes their nostrils so bugs can't get in and their thick skin protects the Aardvark from bites. The female Aardvarks gives birth to 1 newborn each year. The baby stays with the mother for 6 months and then they start digging their own burrows.

The Aardvark is a mammal and they are omnivores. Their average life span in captivity is 23 years. Weighs up to 110-180 lbs. Their tongue can be up to 12 inches long and Those are some great facts about Aardvarks. Go to http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/aardvark/ to read more about them.

Tarantulas are very scary because they have hairy, long legs! The venom from a tarantula is actually weaker then from a bee sting. Tarantulas walk slow on their 8 hairy legs and insects are their main prey but they can also hunt down larger game like frogs, toads, and mice.

The Tarantula lives in the ground and there are are hundreds of Tarantula species in the worlds tropical , subtropical, and dessert regions. Tarantulas do not use a web to catch it's prey, they grab with their legs and paralyze them with venom and they bite with their fangs.

A wasp can paralyze a Tarantula with their sting and then lay eggs on the spider. Then the larvae would chow down the still living spider. The Tarantula can shed their external skeleton in a process called molting. The Tarantula can also regrow the internal organs and can regrow missing legs.

Tarantulas are carnivores and eat mostly insects. After a long meal, the Tarantula may not need to eat for a month. Tarantulas can live to be 30 years old out in he wild. They can weigh up to 3 ounces. To learn about Tarantulas go to http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/Animals/CreatureFeature/Tarantulas

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. I want you to check it out more, so click here Zoo Zoo Circus

A couple days ago, I wanted a hair cut. And my mom said that she will cut my hair the next time that I take a shower, she will cut my hair. But we were having toilet problems so the toilet was backing up and it was backing up into the bath tub so we can't take a shower.

So I had to wash my hair in the sink. Then I got my hair cut. I was scared because when my mom cut my bangs, she cut them too short and I thought that she might cut my hair too short but she didn't!

I really like my haircut because now it's not always in my face. I had to sit in a chair for a long time while my mom cut my hair. But my hair turned out pretty good. I think it turned out pretty good. done

On what we did this week we did some work and some more work. We also did homework, not that much though. It was a fun this week (some week). We had indoor recess (also fun (some fun)). I played on computers all 30 minutes (45 min.).

All I did this week at home this very week of all the weeks was sleep, eat, school, eat & sleep. Like all the other weeks this was the most fun of all, a substitute came into our class. He was okay, fine, defined & great. He was a nice guy.

Today was a great day. It was also kind of short today. I got my work done which is great. To end this short paragraph I will say today is over bye.

All this week, we had inside recess. I was surprised how cold it was. That was probably the coldest week we had all winter so far. I was on the computer most of the inside recess. We went to website called: Cool math-games.com and there is a lot of cool games there. I tried to play a game called meeblings. It's a pretty fun game but I'm not very good at it.

My friend, Odyssey, was playing and I went over and just watched her play. So the next day, when a computer was open, I went to meeblings and tried it. But like I said, I wasn't very good at it.

There is also a whole bunch of other games on that website. There's a list of games that you can play. There was another game called boombot. It was really fun but I'm not that good at computer games. Odyssey got all the way to level 31 on the meeblings games. It was pretty good. I couldn't even past level 10.

We also had a sub today. His name was Mr. Parente but he says that some people call him Mr. P, or Mr. PE. People call him Mr. PE because he used to be a PE teacher at another school.

My week was pretty good and I kinda miss the wonderful outdoors. But maybe by next week, the weather will warm up!
