Happy Halloween

Halloween was 4 days ago!!!!!!! I planned to dress up as a vampire this year. A few weeks ago I took out some makeup and started experimenting with it to find out which look makes me appear as a vampire. One part of the makeup was to put on bright red lipstick and then draw two lines out of my mouth to show blood. My little sister was dressing up like a witch.

Halloween was thought to have originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, this celebration was marked by the lighting of large, sacred bonfires and the wearing of costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. It was brought to America by immigrants from Ireland.

Since we decided to give out candy and trick-or-treat at the last minute we did not have any candy, so my dad and sister went to buy some. When they came home they had like 10 huge packs of different candies. Twix, Smarties, Tootsie Rolls, and Airheads. They told my mom and me that there were many people there who also decided to distribute candy at last minute. 

In my neighborhood, many people put candies outside in bowls, zip locks, and halloween bags. A lot of people were outside on their driveways watching trick or treaters while others just left a bowls/tables with a sign saying "take 1" outside. I heard from some of my teachers that in their neighborhood there was a machine that candy was dropped in it, and will come out from an end so the  tick or treater could catch it in a basket. That way there would not be any contact. In the neighborhood it was decided 3:00-7:00 would be the designated trick-or-treating time. We went in a circle around the neighborhood and socially distanced while trick-or-treating. 

I have a bunch of favorite candies...

  • Smarties
  • Skittles
  • All types of Twix
  • Sour Patches
  • Hershey's Cookies and Creme

6th Grade

Knock, knock Who’s there? Justin Justin who? Just in time to login to school for the day. I started 6th grade in the beginning of September. Due to remote learning my classes have been taken remotely. In class we learn something new every day. I always wonder how 6th grade would have been if this global pandemic had never happened.  All of my teachers are really friendly and nice. Why did the Chromebook look so sad during math class?Because it had so many problems!! Just like that remote learning can have many problems but my teachers keep me engaged in class lessons or doing classwork. I really appreciate all of the hard work they have done to make 6th grade enjoyable. I enjoy listening to Hoot&Hollers(book talks) in ELA. In science I enjoy playing Blooklet and learning about the mysteries of light. In math I enjoy being able to understand function concepts easily. In social studies I enjoy learning about culture's, similarities and differences.  Even though, th...

One Word 2021

I find it hard to remember resolutions, and maybe it's the same for you. My teacher assigned us to choose one word that we could reflect on during 2021. My word is persistence, which means to keep on trying when things get hard. This could reflect on homework or tests. If you get something wrong, you should at least understand what or why you did it. This could also reflect on blogging or just day to day life. Failing to get a soccer goal or not hitting a game change ball in tennis. None of this means you should stop there will be other opportunities to try again. Just learning from you mistakes is what matters. Getting into an argument with a friend doesn't mean you should never talk to them. This word inspires me to try my hardest and you should too. Tell me your word of the year in the comments below!!!

The Outsiders

The Outsiders.                          Written by: S.E. Hinton.                       Reviewed by: Me                                    In school we had to read this book in second quarter. It was so good, it had many plot twists and kept me reading. I wanted to finish reading the book as soon as I started. Ponyboy was part of the Greasers. There were two big groups in the neighborhood, the Socs, and the Greasers. The Socs were rich, spoiled kids, while the Greasers were poor kids. Many times the Socs jumped the Greasers when they were walking alone. Pony's parents died in a car crash, so the only family he has left is his fun brother Soda, and his oldest brother Darry. One night Pony and another Greaser, Johnny were in the park. They meet a bunch of Socs are there. They st...
