Memory Wood

Two summers ago I went to the Grand Canyon in Arizona with my grandparents. The Grand Canyon is a landmark. One day at the gift shop I spotted a pocket knife, but sadly it was a small one, so I did not get it. A few days later there was a big one that had my name on it. The wood was smooth and had a good grip. While walking back, my grandpa spotted this piece of wood. It was big, so we decided to use my pocket knife and carve our names in it. Happily, my dad carved them, so I did not get cut by the pocket knife. For my my sister's name and mine my dad carved the Colorado River because it looked like a S. Now this piece of wood stands in my living room. And when I look back at that piece of wood it reminds me of the Grand Canyon.


What is your favorite memory?

Do you have any memories that you have piece of wood from? If so where did you go?

Thomas Edison

Over the weekends my dad and I worked on my diorama for school. Since Thomas Edison was an inventor I decided to make a battery powered light bulb. My dad had all the materials to do it. Some of them were wires, soldering gun, bread ties, and a shoe box. First, my dad soldered the wires on the light bulb, so I didn't get hurt. Then the other side of the wires were connected to a switch. Finally, I put the wires on the battery.

In this photo we are putting the light bulb on the the top of the shoe box. We used the bread ties to tie the light bulb on the top. It was difficult to tie it.

 Have you ever made a battery powered light bulb? If so for what?

Roxy's snack

This is my dog Roxy. She is a 9 year old golden retriever. She has many favorite treats like beggin strips, cheese, carrots, cucumbers, but her favorite is peanut butter. In this picture she is licking the jar of peanut butter. It was so much fun to feel the vibration of her licks, it tickled my hand. Do you have a pet who likes peanut butter?

Mother Sons Sports Day

At my school every year they have this celebration. The moms and the sons team up with other friends and play sports. Some of the sports were flag football, basketball, volleyball, and doctor dodge ball. They also take photos, so we can remember what happened. My favorite was doctor dodge ball. In the game you play dodge ball, but if you get down, the doctor can heal you. Usually the doctors stay in the back, so they don't get hit. If the doctor gets hit, then everyone on his team that gets hit would be out until the game is over. If someone gets out, a friend of yours can protect the doctor when he tries to heal them.

This is a photo of my mom and me. In it we are next to Kobe Bryant. We weren't really next to Kobe Bryant. The green screen made us be next to Kobe Bryant. A green screen is a green cloth used to pick your own backgrounds

After all the sports are over we have lunch. There is pizza, salad, strawberries, and cookies. For dessert there is ice cream, popsicles, and many more.

What is your favorite sport? Have you ever taken a picture in front of a green screen?
