Bzzzz! Have you herd the buzz about bees? Bees are disappearing from the world. If there are no bees there is no honey for people. If the bees die who will get the pollen from the flower? People are too big to get the pollen. Scientists say that some kind of disease, unknown virus, or some kind of bacteria, or pesticides or parasite could be the problem. If the bees die who is going to make plants grow?

Fire is bad and it can hurt you or it can kill you. Fire is hot and bad because if you have asthma you can die from the bad air or no air. Fires are cool but they can kill you and if you start a fire and you didn't tell your mom, you are in big trouble.

Fires are red, orange and yellow. Fires can be big or small. Fires can burn down your school or house. Fires can be hot, really smoky, and it can be hot like you are in the sun for 2 hours laying on the ground. Fires can be dangerous and it can kill you.

In Venetie we stayed at my grandma's house, then we went to my grandma's funeral, then we put her in the coffin and then we buried her.

Her name was Jessie Williams, she was 76 years old. I stayed with my other grandma here in Fairbanks,Alaska. My cousin Christian was my grandma's favorite boy. Christian is 12 years old and he misses grandma Jessie.

This is a poem by David Williamson. The poem is called My Dog and I.

My dog and I
sat beneath the sky
poaching eggs and twisting stories
we thought nothing of you
neither he nor I
we just preferred
to sit beneath the sky

My dog and I
told lies after lies
first to me than to you
we enjoyed your company for the time
but we would rather be
just sitting beneath the sky

My dog and I
sat in the corner
telling eachother horrors
we thought of you
the sights we knew
we whispered our dreams
silently in your company
the stars shone on your face
