I am in Girl Scouts and since I am in Girl Scouts that means that I do a lot of community service. One of the things I remember doing was making socks for the homeless. First we took a pair of socks and filled each sock with toiletry items. My Girl Scout troop also gave out food and drinks to them. Another project I remember doing was working in a food bank with other Girl Scout troops. We sorted food and gave it out. We do beach cleanups a lot too. Those are the ways I have helped others.

The Renaissance was a time of big change. During this time many artists rediscovered art, culture, and architecture. This amazing time lasted from 1350 to 1550. Artists began to see what great art they can create. Many art from the Middle Ages was religious. But now art became more realistic and artists focused more on plants and nature. Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were both very important artists during the Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci created the famous paintings the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper. Michelangelo designed the roof of the Sistine Chapel. Many artists will relate to the Renaissance!

Dear Lucy,

All of us here in the Sandwich Islands miss you so much. I hope that you are being a good girl. I love that you are following your hearts desire in staying in Lucky Diggens. I just want you to keep following your hearts no matter what you do.

I just wish that we could reunite together. I know that it was part of my fault to lug the whole family from Massachusetts to California.

Love you lots,

mama

If I were president I would try to make everything fair. I would hope there would  be no wars. That is why my slogan is ”peace on earth”. Although I would care a lot about my country I would also care about the other countries so that we can work together to provide ” peace on earth”. It may sound like I care about other countries more than our country but that is not the case. I would create more national parks and more visitor centers for America. I would also make things less expensive so that more people could afford them. I would encourage every rich man give one tenth of their money to a homeless shelter. I would also make gas less expensive. I would not close the borders between states. I would make it easier to get a job. That is what I would do if I was president.

This quarter is music I did Angels We Have heard On high and Musette. I also did part of Fur Elise. What I think I need to work on in music is not using the same finger on different notes. I think that I could try to do harder songs for quarter 3 and 4. What I think I am good at in music is memorizing the notes.

Jim’s Mom’s ADVENTURES!

Just about 1,000 years ago, out in a wild desert of Arizona there lived a mom,a dad and Jim a little five year old boy. Every morning for the dad to go to work and for Jim to go to school, they had to drive for 2 straight hours to get to town. One day Jim’s mom got really sick, she couldn’t even use the restroom. Until one day Jim appeared out of no where. He magically turned himself into a fairy god Father.

Jim’s mom was sleeping so she didn’t Know that her son was there nor that he had turned himself into a fairy god father.Jim was now a grown boy at 15 years old, and he had just started his first year of college. He never thought about school he only worried about his mother. A little after he had turned himself into a fairy god father he took out his magic wand and taped his mom’s back 3 times.

Before Jim’s mom or Jim knew it, they were both sitting on a relaxing beach in Hawaii. Now Jm’s mom was …                                                                                                                 well andJim was a human bean again. Jim shrunk back into a little 5 year old boy & his dad appeared on the beach. The family of three soon bought a huge mansion on a mountain . The mom and dad found a job. They all knew what Jim’s mom went threw when she was sick. Since they both had jobs, they added on to their monsoon and made a hospital for all the ill.

The hospital ran well and soon Jim’s family had tons of nurses, tons of doctors, front desk workers, surgeons, and thought doctors. They all lived happily ever after. THE END!
