Camping

Cynthia Alonso
When you are a Stanley student in the middle school community you get the chance to experience camping with your homeroom peers and teachers, it is an awesome experience that lets you get closer to your peers and teachers and lets you experience the feeling of being outdoors. You get partnered up with a sixth grader, seventh grader and in eighth grader for cooking groups and doing other fun activities. You also get the chance to learn how to build a tent. The only thing that I don’t suggest to do is to not listen to your teachers because their might be the possibility that you will get lost so remember to stay close to your peers or teachers. You should also pack a pretty good lunch because since you are hiking for so long you get pretty tired and then really hungry and thirsty so remember to take lots of water with you because water from the lake with that stuff that you need to use for killing germs taste really bad. But other then just focusing on all the negative things focus on the positive, that you will have a great time!!!!

Chinchillas

By Tanner Shelp

Chinchillas are a rodent but are larger than mice. They are more fluffy and rounded. They can be kept as pets. They are also like a bunny because of there ears. They are very social and they are animals as you may have already guessed. Chinchillas are nocturnal which means that they sleep during the day and are active at night. Their nicknames are chins and the best time to play with them is in the evening. They enjoy cardboard in there cages to tear it up because thy need something active to do. Female chinchillas are normally larger than the dudes are. They weigh up to 4 pounds but can be as light as 1.3 pounds. Unlike rabbits, chinchillas are pretty much odor free which is good if you are looking into buying one. Like hamsters, chinchillas use an exercise wheel in order to keep them happy as well as healthy. If you are wondering where they are from: chinchillas originated in the tropic area of South America. One of the most common chinchillas is the grey chinchilla. If you really want to walk them, they are capable. If you put a leash on a chin then you CAN take them for walks, (you might get some weird looks though). Thanks for reading my article and I hope you enjoyed it.

What to Write About

By Zoe Wolf


I was given an assignment to write my own poem, story song, or any kind of writing I could think of, but nothing seemed to be what I wanted to write about.
That’s the problem. When the assignment was given, we were told that as soon as we had an idea of what to write about (INDEPENDENTLY), we were to go to the teacher and tell them what we were going to write about, and after we did, we should go to the computer lab and write about it.
Our assignments had to be at the minimum two-hundred words. Writing a fantasy isn’t something I like to do, but there is nothing real that sounds interesting either.
I sat motionless in my chair for a while, preoccupied of my surroundings, thinking, brainstorming of things that wouldn’t be too hard to write about.
Sure it might be easy to make something up on the spot, but the real issue is having it being read by other people, who I probably wouldn’t even know.
If in fact I did write a fantasy, I wouldn’t want it to be too un realistic; and I certainly wouldn’t want to write a story or poem or whatever that was about me.
As I thought hard in my chair, going over all the possible topics I could write about, I realised the other people in my class start getting up to tell the teacher their idea. I knew from my thoughtless mind that I would be the last one.
Then, it hit me.
I would write about this.

Jell-O

By Nathan Merenstein


What do you think? Is jell-O more like a liquid or more like a solid? That is completely up to you what you think it is more like. Personally I think jell-O is more like a solid because it stays in one shape and you eat it and not drink it.
I think that jell-O is also a very tasty and good for making sick people feel better, a few other foods that look like it but I only know one of them right now, vanilla and chocolate pudding. Not many people know the amazing taste and what jell-O does for you when you are sick.
Jell-O is mostly made of powder and water and other ingredients. Over all it is tasty, good for you when you are sick and it is not bad for you.
Jell-O is the food to eat and have next to you when you are sick. I hope that because it is a new year 2010 more people will read my blog and learn how good jell-O is. I haven’t had jell-O as many times as I would like to, so when I get home I will buy enough jell-O for the rest of the week and keep doing that at the beginning of every week as many times as I can until I get sick of it (but that wont happen because I will never get sick of it because of it.)

Eggo Shortage

By Mackenzie Mathias

The Eggo factory in Atlanta Georgia is blaming the shortage of frozen waffles on heavy rainstorms that flooded the factory after health inspectors found a bacteria called Listeria that can cause serious infection. Listeria is a bacteria commonly found in food, plants, soil, stream water, and sewage. It is harmless for most people but can be harmful especially for pregnant woman, people with a weakened immune system, or newborn babies. Kellogg agreed to a recall on September 2 after 4,500 cases were reported. It was cleaned and sanitized. Oscar Garrison who is the assistant commissioner of consumer protection at the Georgia Department of health told ABC News “They wanted to be really comfortable that they got every potential source of Listeria. They wanted to do a thorough evaluation.” Kellogg hired private inspectors to look over everything in the factory and then let the state and federal investigators sign off that everything is fine and had been cleaned. In October of 2009 the factory reopened but has now been shutdown again due to weather. Hopefully it will soon reopen and the Eggo shortage will be finished!

Winter

By Kyle Colley

As the snow fell on the ground and I drinking from my warm mug filled with coffee. I felt the joy of Christmas. I look outside I saw the snow felling. I was so happy that I decided to go bake a gingerbread house. I started with a milk carton and spread some frosting on the top of it. Once the plate was filled with frosting I got my gumdrops. I put gumdrops on the top of the house. I enjoy making my gingerbread house. I then got gram cracker and put it on the sides of the house. Once I was finish I was very excited. I walked it to my mama’s house and gave it to her as a present. She really enjoys and I went back home. I pour another cup of coco a drank it. It was very chocolate and it was really good. I spilled on it as I was watching a Christmas movie.




The End

The Sad Bear

By Eugene Vessels

There once was a bear who loved to eat a pears
But he was sad as he had a bad ear
So he walked around on the frozen ground
His feet froze so he peed on the ground
And the ground wormed up
So he was happy but still sad about his ear and the pear tree
Then a hunter saw him and said “that’s a keeper”
And then…
BANG!!! BANG!!! BANG!!! BANG!!!
The sad bear found a pear and then he
Fell to the floor and then Por came and was sad
Because that was his bear
So he turned into the hulk and grabbed the hunter bite of his head
He fell to the floor
