Emmy’s Blog

Blogging was sooo much fun this year. I loved having my own blog that I could type what I wanted. Shaina can’t wait until she gets her blog. Thanks Mr.Hetherington.

Today on June 14th is the last day of school. I am now a 7th grader. I will like to thank all of my teachers this year for making it a fun year. They are Ms.VanOstrand, Mr.Hetherington, Mr Lawrence and Ms.Ekstorm. I am also a 6Ver and I will always be. I hope that MsVwill make a good sciance teacher,  I hope that  Ms.Ekstrom  will enjoy the last Harry Potter book, I hope that Mr.Hetherington will make a good math teacher and for Mr.Lawrence  to have a happy retirment with good health. I hope that he will come back next year. I also hope that the other teachers that are retiring will ahve good health. I congraduate the 8th graders. I can’t wait for Shaina to get into 6th grade so she can have the teachers that I had[most of them anyway].

Have a great summer.

love, Emmy

P.S. The slide show that Mr.Hetherington did was great and I hope that the teachers will enjoy their presents. Also I had sooo much fun to.

Yu-Gi-Oh is a T.V. show that I watch. It was first a graphic noval series by Kazuki Takahashi which was later made into anime. It was originally made in Japan. What is interesting about the graphic novals is that instead of reading them from left to right, you read the graphic novals from right to left.  Here is the main plot to the story. The story is about a 10th grader named Yugi Mutou,who is a game expert and likes to play the card game duel monsters which is the trading card game we call Yu-Gi-Oh. One day Yugi  solves the Millennium Puzzle[a ancient Egyptian artifact passed down to him by his grandfather]. At that moment he is filled with ancient magic and his alter ego called Yami Yugi[or Pharaoh or Yu-Gi-Oh] the unbeatable king of games soul is ceated. By using the power of the Millennium Puzzle he can switch from Yami to Yugi. At first he called his alter ego “his other self” but then later starts calling him Yami. He later finds out that there are seven millenium items. Their names are: The Millennium Puzzle, The Millennium Ring, The Millennium Eye, The Millennium Key[the only item without the wajet eye], The Millennium Scales, The Millennium Rod and The Millennium Tauk[or Neclace]. But that is just the beginning. He also has some friends who cheer him on when he is dueling. Their names are Joey Wheeler[Katsuya Jonouchi in the manga who is also a duelist and was a bully yo Yugi at first], Téa Gardner[Anzu Mazaki in the manga,who we think has a cruch on Yami] and Tristan Taylor[ Hiroto Honda in the manga who was a bully with Joey]. Yugi has had to go on some life threatning adventers. I don’t want to spoil what happens but as Yugi and Yami get to know each-other they become good parners and talk to each-other with their minds.

At first I thought that this is a boy thing, but as I began to watch it more often I began to like it. My favorite character is Yugi/Yami Yugi because he is cool.  Now I collect the trading cards and have duels with Shaina. It’s very fun.

Today in L.A Mrs.Ekstrom had to talk to us about how the homework finish the Westing Game notebook and if you didn’t you would get a detention! She had to do this because 15 people were failing!! Anywayafter that we discused as a class what the connection between Sam Westing and Sandy was. That just about waps it up.

 Here is one of the covers for the book.

Even though it was special persons day on Friday we had classes. In Social Studies we went over the homework from the night before. Afterwards we watched the end of a movie. It was about the Ancient Myans. They lived Central America on the Yucatan Peninsula. They were great astronomers but they also belived that the king could talk to the gods so they sacreficing people so they could give their blood to the gods. They also build many great pyramids. They were a very interesting civilzation.

 This is one of their many great buildings.

Today is my dad’s Birthday. So I want to say this” HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! I want to wish my mom a VERY belated birthday.

While I was watching the Today show I heard that they had made a life size model of the Knight Bus that was in the 3rd Harry Potter book. It is visiting 37 libraries in the U.S.A. Acually the first stop is on June 4th 2007 in Providence Rhode Island. To see the entire schedule click here. To read more about it click here. If I get the chance to visit the bus that would be so cool!

 This is the Knight bus.

Last month I read a book called The Purloined Boy by Mortimus Clay. Here is a summery of what this wonderful book is about.

The story stars out in the land of Surbirbia where they kidnap kids and teach kids that a world with parents, Santa Clause and even home doesn’t exist. So one day a boy named Trevor starts daydreaming in class about being home but was interupted by the gardian[teacher] Media so then Trevor says”can I go home”? Well he gets in big time trouble. That night a slave named Epitetis tells him that he will be taken away but to  and is sent to the pantry where he learns that bogymen have kidnaped them so they can eat them! While crying in his cell a mouse named  Zephyr comes and helps him escape. He takes to Throthward where there is a magical tree called the Troth. I don’t want to spoil it for people who aren’t reading it but it is an awesome book that you won’t want to put down. To go to his website click here. Thank you Mortimus Clay for coming to the school.
