Spelling Bee (and science BA too) (let's squeeze in the twilight series too)

Ok, first, I'll yap a little about the 100% I got on my Science BA! *applause*
And the Spelling Bee's today at three. I hope I do well, but I hear the winner advances to like the state Spelling Bee and stuff........I do NOT like big crowds, and the entire 5th grade is probably the most comfortable crowd I'll ever be in front of. I'm up against like three of my best friends, and I don't know how they'll feel if I win. But I guess I'll have to try......I thought you just sign up for the spelling bee, not try to win the class one. Anyways....I'm reading the Twilight series and they're pretty good. I'm on page 545 in the second book. Anyways...I'll wrap up this post now....wish me luck in the Spelling Bee!!

2009 Inauguration

Today Barack Obama officially became the U.S. president. Even though I don't have a lot to say, I still think it's great we have our first African-American president. In school we watched the inauguration ceremony, and we listened to Obama's speech. I found it really interesting, and I'm definitely going to watch when the next president is elected. I think it would be awesome to go to D.C. on inauguration day. I hope he'll do things that will conserve energy (solar panels, etc.) and keep the promises he talked about in all the debates (I only watched like 15 minutes of one debate though). I just hope he makes good decisions.

DON'T DO IT JOHN!

John found a barrel of odorless clear liquid. He needed to get rid of it, so he decided to dump it in a river. Agree, or disagree?

I disagree with John, because it could be dangerous dissolved chemicals, that created a solution that looks and smells like water. If he dumped it in a river, the liquid could be harmful to animals, and possibly people.

Visitors feel free to respond to this!

SPRING BREAK

I'm really excited for Spring break (and I know it's still way too early to be talking about that, but still) me and my family are going to Florida, and staying in Hilton hotel (Y'know, the really fancy ones?) And I'm so PUMPED! I'm looking forward to swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, and doing lots of other stuff. Anyways, that's pretty much it, sooooo.....SEE YA!

Donate to your local food pantry!

Dear Citizens of Walled Lake and Wixom,

When you come home from work or school, you probably don’t have to worry about grabbing a snack, or dinner, right? Well some people do. Donating food can change lives.
A few weeks ago, my class and I went to the local Hospitality House. We were shocked at how much food they had stacked in their warehouse. It turns out that “needy” people can come in, and take home a limited amount of food for their families. Walled Lake Elementary donated 970 pounds of food that helped people have a nice
Thanksgiving. I think you should donate to your local Hospitality House.
Many families cannot afford food; you can help them by donating to your local charity. We also helped stack the food. It was an amazing experience, and I felt good knowing I helped a family who really needed it.
Imagine if you were in need, and had to feed a family of four, or more! The Hospitality House has helped over 4,000 families, and 4,059 children! All communities have families that are in need, think of the children, you’d be helping your community, and all the people in it.
Everyone should be grateful for all the food they have. Over all, 199,858 pounds of food have been distributed in the Walled Lake/Wixom area between January and September of this year. People who need food depend on Gleaners food bank, and donations. I greatly encourage you to donate food, or hygiene items (toothbrushes, diapers, etc.). If you can’t donate food, donate your time, and volunteer at your local food pantry. You can also go to www.hospitalityhousefoodpantry.org and learn more!

Thank you!

Sincerely,


Jared G.
