Oh Hanukkah, Oh, Hanukkah
Come light the menorah
Let's have a party
We'll all dance the horah
Gather 'round the table
We'll give you a treat,
Sivivon to play with and levivot to eat

And while we are playing
The candles are burning low
One for each night, they shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago
One for each night, they shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago.

12/16/13 Year-Round School is a Bad Idea Quote

My Writing So Far

I think we should not have year round school because I think kids need time off to go to summer camp and hang out with friends and family. I think year round school is a bad idea because kids and teachers need a break from textbooks, classes, waking up early, etc. Why I think this because studies show that test scores from year round schools and traditional schools are the same there is nothing different about it. I do not attended year round school but I think the experience would be hard and tiring and you would never get a break. Summer time helps kids to grow and mature. Year-round school also costs parents more because usually the older kids stay home and watch the younger siblings but they cant with year round school. Summer gives kids a time to recharge their brains and get ready for a fresh start for the upcoming year.

The Quotes off The Website

There are additional reasons for not changing the traditional school calendar.  Summer time allows children to grow and mature, which may ultimately give them a new outlook for the upcoming school year and provide them with the chance for a fresh start. 

Year-round education may also cost parents more, since new day care arrangements might have to be made.  Parents have traditionally relied on teenage siblings or babysitters who were always available during the summer months and who were willing to accept less than minimum wage.  With year-round schooling, these teenagers will no longer be available, forcing parents to use high-cost day care professionals all the time.  For their parts, teenagers may also find that a summer job is out of reach with a year-round system, leaving them without spending money or money for college.  They are forced then to choose the alternative -- working during the school term -- which may lower grades overall.  Teachers who depend on summer employment outside the educational system to augment their income will also lose money.  Because it appears that saving money cannot be guaranteed, I do not believe schools should change to a year-round calendar.

You know when your tummy hurts you head aches and you feel like a pile of poop, well that's how I feel. I could not even eat one of my favorite dinners, RIBS. Being sick is soooooooooooooo not fun it feels like at school you miss sooooooooo much and have much more homework the next day. people think being sick is fun until It happens to them they ach they whine and cry until their face hurts. Being sick is not fun.

I loves my pets

O yes I do

They cuddle me snuggle me

And make me happy

Through thick and thin

They put me on a better path

To what lies ahead

Even though the road has had bumps and hills

They always forgave me for what was before

School and Summer

Fall and Spring 

From start to finish 

We will be together

For now and forever

A year round calender in Michigan is a bad idea because kids need a chance to have a break from school. Kids do not have an extended summer break to play, go to summer camp and hang out with friends. Achievement in year-round schools was no higher than in traditional schools (Bradley McMillan, Education Week). Year-round school and traditional school both require students to go to school 180 days per year. During year round school it just stresses kids out even though normal schools have the same amount of day in the school year.

I am grateful for the chance to explore

It gives me something more

11/7/13 Funky Freeze Tag

It was a cold and crisp day in Michigan and waiting for the bus in a freezing car is not exactly perfect for a Monday morning. The time went by as slow as molasses.

            Finally, the bus came and we jumped out of the car and walked up the cold black steps and plopped our butts into a seat. The bus drove on and my friends and I talked about what we were going to be for Halloween. We pulled up to Berkshire and let some kids off and we drove away but then our bus driver noticed that THERE WAS A KID SLEEPING ON OUR BUS. We had to turn around and wake up the kid. After that we drove to the preschool to pick up kids. When we got then we all ran off the bus and got ready to play freeze tag. Everyone was frozen but me, Jerry and the tagger, his little sister Maya.

The area smelled like rotten garbage and perfume and the light from inside the building poured out the clear glass windows.

            “GO!” 
I yelled and ran off in the other direction.

We began the game and Maya came after me first. I ran around to the other side of the white bus parked there and started screaming at the top of my lungs.

            “A LITTLE GIRL IS GOING TO GET ME HELP!!!”

“HAHA!” My brother Nick laughed behind us.

I sprinted around the bus into a cluster of my friends and when I ran into the corner near the blossoming red tree Maya tagged me.

            “JERRY! COME UNTAG ME NOWWWWW!” 

“I’m coming!” He yelled from the other side of the bus.

I remember when I was little and I tried to play on my little pudgy legs running around my yard.

‘Please Jerry,’ the words spun around in my head like a Frisbee. All of a sudden Jerry ran up and tagged me and I ran after him to the other kids.

When I ran up everyone was frozen but Jerry and I again. Maya came running up to us about to tag us but we both dodged her hand and ran to get the others untagged. We all ran to the side of the bus and waited for Maya to come. Maya whipped around the side of the bus like a bullet and startled us so that I jumped. She ran right at me and I had nowhere to go so I stood there while everyone behind me ran off and then she tagged me. The cool air was crawling up my neck like spiders and I noticed that the grass had a little bit of dew left on it and it was floating up like mist on a waterfall creeping around the school like a shadow. The orange sun was lighting up the dull sky.

Even though the cold crisp air was creeping up everyone’s necks, we all had fun playing our little game in the little lot next to the big yellow bus in the misty air. Everything was fine on that Monday morning in October since we didn’t care what was going to happen next.

Trick or Treat 2013 11/1/13

“Trick or Treat” my brothers and I yelled in harmony wait let me back up its Halloween Night and my family is doing their yearly rounds of trick or treating. My brothers ran up to the little brick house with me trailing behind in my giant clown shoes clopping against the cobblestone. We walked up and sang “ Trick or Treat” to the person in side of the house.

“ Hi kids how are you” a middle aged man said to us dropping 3 or 4 pieces of delicious candy in to our bags.

“ Nice costumes” he said  

“ Thanks” We said

We were about to leave and he stopped us and said

“ Can I squeeze your nose ?”

“Ok” I said with a little doubt in my voice

“ SQUEAK” my nose rang in to his house
