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 It was originally made in Japan.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.

 On the left is Yami and on the right is Yugi.   

 This is Joey Wheeler.                                    This is Tristan Taylor.

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.

On Friday May 18 I turned 12! In the morning I got some presents like a Gamecube game, a plastic time turner and a couple other things. At lunch time I ate with Ms.V and when I came into the classroom they surprised me by turning out the lights and saying “surprise”. That night I went bowling with Shaina’s Girl Scout troop. I was supposed to go to camporre for Girl Scouts and sleep there but it was too cold and it was raining so we went the next day. Anyway I had a really fun day.

Happy birthday to me!!!!

Super Smash Bros. Melee is a video game that my sister and I play. Click here to see the intro for this game. What you do is battle each-other with Nintendo’s All-Stars characters . Here is a list of the characters you can be.

My favorite character is Kirby and my sister’s is Pikachu. Some of these characters are hidden and need to be unlocked. They are: Falco, Roy, Marth, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, Mr.Game&Watch, Pichu, Young Link, Luigi, Dr.Mario, and Ganondorf. Each character has their own special moves that they use to send their opponent out of the fighting field. There are also many stages that you can fight in.

 This is the stages in which you can battle in. Some stages have to be unlocked. There are even some stages I haven’t unlocked yet. My favorite stage is the fountain of dreams stage and my sister’s favorite stage is the Poke Floats stage.

 This is Fountain Of Dreams.

 This is Poke Floats.

 This is a battle scene with Peach,Donkey Kong, Ice Clinbers and Kirby battling. The percentage signs tells how much damage a player has, but if your percentage gets too high the player would get hit and would go flying out of the ring.

There are also trophies you can collect that are of the characters and other objects and even places.

 This is a trophy of the master sword. This is one of the many trophies you can get.

Well that is just about it for the main stuff anyway. Click here to learn more about this game. This is one of the most funniest games that I’ve ever played.

 This is th cover. In the left column[top to bottom] is: Yoshi, Zelda, Kirby, Samus and Peach. In the right hand column [from top to bottom] is: Fox, Donkey Kong, Captin Falcon, Ice Climbers and Ness. In the center[from left to right] is Mario, Link, Bowser and Pikachu.

Here are all of the characters. Can you find Kirby, Mr.Game&Watch and Pikachu?

Which would you prefer?

American Idol or Dancing with the stars?

On 4/2/07 I went to my Bubby and Zedy’s house for a Jewish holiday called Passover. At Passover we remember when Moses asked the Pharaoh[Ramses II] to release the Jews, but Ramses II said no. So God put ten plagues upon Egypt and they were that the river turned to blood, frogs covered the land, lice came, flies came, all cattle died, boils upon every man, hail fell, locust came, darkness covered the land for three days and finally every first born was killed. But the Lord spared the Jewish childern by having them put lambs blood above their doors so God would pass over them. Finally the Pharaoh let the Jews go. That is how the first  Passover happend. We eat Matzah which is unraised bread. We eat it because when the Jews were leaving Egypt they didn’t have time to raise their bread so they made Matzah. What my Zedy does is hide some Matzah under a pillow and we had to try and grab it while he isn’t watching.  We also said some prayers in Hebrew and sang “dayanu”. Later I played with my cousin Tyler and talked to my Aunts and Uncles. I was so much fun.

 Matzah                                      Star Of David

My sister and I tired to prank each-other. It was fun until we didn’t believe each-others pranks like “there is a spider on your back”. Shaina didn’t believe it. But what we also did was stick a sticker of a crack on my dad’s car so that it looks like the window was broken! When he saw it he actually thought that it was cracked and he said”oh nooo when did that happen”. But then my sister blew on the sticker and it came off. It was so funny. I had a lot of fun.

Two years ago my dad fell for a radio broadcast on NPR that said if you don’t tap your maple trees they will explode! Click here to listen to the broadcast on the NPR website.

The next Harry Potter movie called “Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix” comes out July 13th 2007.Click here to go to Warner Brother’s page on Harry Potter so you can see the trailer for the movie. I really can’t wait to see it in theaters.

The last Harry Potter book is called “Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows” It comes out July 21st 2007. Here is a picture of the cover.

This is the first time He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named[Voldemort] has appeared on the cover of the series. Snape…FRIEND OR FOE,CAN WE TRUST HIM? I think he is a foe, but he might come through for Harry at the end.  IS HARRY GOING TO BE KILLED? I think that he might sacrifice himself for Ron or Herminone or he will kill Voldemort or Voldemort will get them all. I don’t want to admit that Harry will get killed but I’ve heared rumors that J.K.Rowling might kill Harry so that no one can continue the series! Leave me a comment telling me about what you think of Snape and if Harry gets killed and why.  I can’t wait to read it.

Here are some pictures of where my cousins live in Starrucca Pennsylvania.

Isn’t it beatuiful!?

This the pond we go swiming in at the summerfest.

In the summer we roast marshmellows and make smores here,but we have to lie down or put our face behind something because it gets really hot.

On Febuary break my family and I went to my cousins house in Starucca, Pennsylvania. They live in a town that is very small, but on the other hand their house is beautiful. They also have a pond that we swim in during the summer and a giant sleding hill that we slide on in the winter. Every year we go up there and we call this time the winterfest. I have four cousins and their names are Harrison, Caitlin, Natale and Jessica. I also have a Aunt Mary and a Uncle Matt. They have four dogs and their names are Molly[pug], Meg[cairn terrier], Kayla[dauschaund] and Margo[french bulldog]. If Meg got face to face with my dog Nicky, Meg would try to hurt Nicky and Nicky would hide under a chair! They kept all of the dogs (except Nicky) in the kitchen. When we were up there we had a blast sleding. I went on a sled with Natale and we flew off a jump and she landed on top of me! Then later Shaina, Harris, Caitlin, Natale, Mesha[their friend], Jessie, and I hooked our sleds together and made a train. The first run was sucessful but the other run wasn’t. Harris was the connector for the two sleds and he let go of the first sled with Jessie on it and the rest of us ran over Harris and made a giant dent in the run! Then Molly and Margo came running down the track to meet us as they always did. At the end of the day we all made it down to the pond[ the ice on it was 5 inches thick] and began the very long hike up the hill. On the day we had to leave we had a giant snowball fight, but Molly just ate the snowballs. While we were up there we saw some Charlie Chaplin slient films with a organ doing the music and then went to the Chinese Buffet and ate alot. while we were there we would also play card games and the computer game “Where in the world is Carmen Sandiago”. We even watched the Patrick for President marathon! I can’t wait to see them again.

At the back of the sled is Caitlin in the green, then Shaina, Mesha, Harris, Emmy and Natale. To see more pitures of my cousins house click here.

These books by M.I. McALLISTER are very exiting, fun-filled and very cute. Even though there are only 2 books in the series[so far] they are wonderful books about otters, red squirrels, hedgehogs and moles living together on the island of Mismantle[which is protected by enchanted mists] .

The first book called The Mistmantle Chronicles Urchin Of The Riding Stars starts off on the island of Mismantle when a mother squirrel is giving birth on a night of the Riding Stars. But she soon dies afterword and the baby is found by a squirrel named Captain Crispin.He notices that the baby is paler than other squirrels. He gives it to another squirrel named Apple to take care of him. They name it Urchin of the Riding Stars. As he grows up he becomes a page to Captain Crispin, but afterword something terrible happens. The hedgehog prince, King Brushen and Queen Spindle’s son, is murdered and it appears that Crispin did it! So he is exiled[or banished from the island]. Now Urchin becomes a page to Captain Padra, who is an otter. Meanwhile Captain Husk is up to no good. Will Urchin find a way to get Crispin back? Read to find out. Now in The Mistmantle Chronicles Book Two Urchin And The Heartstone is about Urchin finding out about his past and about a prophecy that was mentioned in book one. I won’t give away all of the details, but all I can say is that these books are for people who love animals and adventure.

The book I read for literature circle was Mrs.Frisby And The Rats Of NIMH. This heartwarming story is about a mouse named Mrs.Frisby. She has 4 children named Teresa, Martin, Cynthia and Timothy and her husband Jonathen died earier that year. One day Timothy got sick with pneumonia and moving day was 5 days away. Every year Mr.Fitzgibbon plows the garden and the mice have to get out of the way! Now if Timothy goes outside he could die from the cold. So Mrs.Frisby has a problem; does she move and risk Timothy dying, or does she keep her whole family behind and probably get plowed! Later she meets a crow named Jeramey who Mrs.Frisby saves from Dragon the cat. Since he is in her dept he takes her to see the wise old owl who tells her to go see the Rats for her problem. Will she convince the Rats to help her? Read to find out. This is a good book for people who like fantasy and animals. 6 stars out of 5. This book is by Robert C. O’Brien.

These are some really cute pictures that I found.

Tamagotchies are little electronic pets that need your help to survive and grow.They begin as an egg and then hatch as a baby[a black baby is a boy and a white one is a girl]. Then after you name it you must feed it, clean up after it, nurse it back to health and make sure it is happy. You can earn point to go shopping by playing games with it like heading and bump.You can buy items like glasses and a boom-box or special food like pizza. you can connect with other Tamagotchies and give each-other presents or play a game. If your pet is an adult and connects with another Tamagotchi for a long time they could get married and have a baby. You could also go to tamatown which is an on-line town where you can get items for your pet, visit parents and play games. If you can’t get to tamatown from the link just type in www.tamatown.com and then click on the bubble that says V3 on it and then you will be in tamatown. One of my pets has reproduced for 12 generations.If you don’t take care of your pet it will die.Tamagotchies are very interesting and you never know what it will grow into.
