Homeschool is better than public school.
By DJ.


For decades, kids have been tormented by bullies, bad lunches, and mean teachers. Not to mention papers far too small to do their work on! Well here's your solution! Introducing Home Schooling, the best way to teach your child! In Home Schooling, you'll be side by side to make sure your child gets the proper education AND doesn't get stuffed in lockers. Plus you'll know what your child is doing at all times! This is especially for you parents who don't want grand children when your child is 13. Plus you'll make sure your child is eating well, and eating well also goes as not eating drugs. And you can also make sure your classes are going well YOUR way. Take P.E for example. Instead of hardcore, practically hard labor exorcising, you can make sure your child is getting in shape at a nice, steady pace. Just listen to these people who love Homeschooling.

My friend *****: "Its nice because you don't have to worry about bullies."

Mrs.******: "I like it because I can make sure shes not getting in trouble."

Old lady who lives is my neighborhood: "Its the worst thing sense 99c stores. You don't learn enough!"

Well forget about her. These are all people I know and these are their honest opinions.

Home Schooling, enroll today!
Best part is, ITS FREE! Just pay for your school books, school supplies, and some online activities.

That's my report on Homeschooling!

The Pileated Woodpecker

Today I'm going to tell you about the Pileated Woodpecker.

Now, first off, I'm sorry but I couldn't upload a picture to show you all. Again, sorry.

Anyway, the Pileated Woodpecker is the SECOND largest species of woodpecker in the world, coming up close to the Imperial Woodpecker (If it's not extinct.). It is however the largest woodpecker in North America reaching sizes of 18 inches (The Imperial reaching up to 24 inches, but enough about them. Distracting me!) and reaching in at a weight of 12 pounds. It is well known for killing large amounts of trees, a quarter of a forest if possible, to get to the insects inside. They're basically living jack hammers! Both males and females have a large red crest on their head, but the ideal way to tell the difference (Unless you happen to see the female lay an egg,) is males have a red stripe going along the back side of their beak and females are slightly smaller. If you just looked at the body you wouldn't tell the difference, both are black and white striped. These woodpeckers are found almost everywhere in North America, depending on where you live you might see one. I'm in Florida and I've only seen one in person for a split second in my Magnolia Tree. It seemed to be looking for something. These birds love to eat things such as bug larvae and bugs themselves. They aren't picky eaters.These birds are both friend and enemy, frienenemy. They kill trees in order to get to their bugs and make homes, but when they move on they leave homes for other animals and if the tree falls over it is fertilizer for the ground. So the next time you see a Pileated Woodpecker in your tree, don't scare it off. We need them :D.

That's my report on the Pileated Woodpecker. I got the info from www.wikipedia.com. The End

What I'm Thankful For

Today I'm going to write a poem about what I'm thankful for.

Here in my life I am thankful for many things, now I'm going to tell you in some nice rhyming rings.


I am thankful for my Mom, she can be pretty cool. Except when she brings up sirtent subjects in school.

I am thankful for my Dad, he can make some pretty good dinners. I'm suprised that even if hes exercising he hasn't gotten any thinner...

I am thankful for me sister, we sometimes study bacteria. But when she makes me REALLY mad sometimes I wanna ship her to Siberia.

I am thankful for my dogs, they keep me safe at night. Our little dog likes soda, I wonder if she'll like sprite?

I am thankful for my friends, especially Jacob and Braidan. Sometimes I wonder if Braidans his little sisters maiden.

I am thankful for my house, it keeps my head dry. Without it I'm afraid I would would die.

I am thankful for FOOD, it keeps my tummy full. Without it I think my life would be pretty dull.

I am thankful for my Grandparents, Uncles and Aunts. I sometimes give them a silent chant.

I'm thankful for my games, they keep me from getting bored. That is, when I don't spill juice on my cord.

I'm thankful for everything, it makes my life complete. When I'm here with my family, it cannot be beat.

The End.

A Christmas Carol Book Report

Today I'm going to tell you about the story I read called "A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens".


A Christmas Carol, is one of the best books I've read yet (Coming close to Moby Dick). It's about a greedy and lonely old man named Ebenezer Scrooge who won't even pay for his electric bill or heat bill! One day he is visited by the ghost of his old ''business partner" Jacob Marley on the night of Christmas Eve who warns him of three spirits that will haunt him. The first will appear at midnight, the 2nd on the next midnight, and the third when the clock strikes 1:00 the next night. So Scrooge went to bed, after claiming that Marley was just a mirage made by an undigested piece of beef, and sure enough when the clock struck midnight, there was the spirit.

The first spirit was the Ghost of Christmas Past, in the 1st chapter. He was a short man with no feet, a well-aged mans face, and his head was on fire. He fit the characteristics of a ghost quite well. His mission, along with the other ghosts, was to change Scrooge into a better person. He took Scrooge back into the past to show him Scrooge's previous Christmas's. He showed him Little Fan (His sister I think) coming to take him home for Christmas, and Old Fizze Wig throwing a party where Scrooge met his girlfriend. Then it showed Scrooge replacing his girlfriend for money. Greeeeedy! That was the last time he saw his girlfriend and the end of the 1st chapter.

The next night Scrooge was confronted by the Ghost of Christmas Present, the 2nd chapter. This ghost was very large, he looked like Paul Bunyon who "let himself go" and grew a beard! I kinda didn't understand every word they said in this chapter because there was so much British talk. This time Scrooge didn't refuse to go and willingly went with him. The spirit showed him his Nephew (Little Fans son) and all his friends and family. They were playing a game of charades and guessing a wild animal. One woman guessed Uncle Scrooge and got it right. Ebenezer didn't seem too happy...
Then the spirit took Scrooge to his employee Bob's house. They were getting ready for Christmas Dinner and everyone pitched in, including Tiny Tim. Scrooge asked the spirit what would happen to Tiny Tim but no answer. After seeing all that the spirit took Scrooge to a clock tower.He showed him the two humans of Ignorance and Want before dieng off (Apparently spirits live very short lives).

The next night Scrooge was confronted by the final spirit in chapter 3, the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come. This spirit was a dark shadow and when he showed his body it was a metallic black. Some people might even refer to him as the Grim Reaper! He showed him that Tint Tim did die and that now his father and mother are old, looking through Ebenezer's stuff. The spirit then shows him Ebenezer's own grave and the date:

Died on
25th
Of Dec.

By now Scrooge was pleading for mercy, but the spirit denied. He tossed Scrooge into his grave. Scrooge thought he was a gonner, but then he wound up (Literally) in his room. He was a new man getting ready to share his joy to the world. He asked a boy to go buy the biggest turkey in the store and bring it to Tiny Tim's house. Then he payed the boy. He even sang in a Choir! He then went to his Nephews house for Christmas dinner and afterwards gave Bob a raise and helped pay for Tiny Tim's medical bills, who did NOT die! And they pretty much lived happily ever after. The End.

I thought this was a very good book with a nice happy ending. The End.
