The Lost One Part 1

This story is FICTIONAL!!‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

When I'm lost, I can hardly ever be found. I can dream and imagine things no one can ever dream of. I can do things no one can ever see. I can fly in my dreams. I can turn invisible. I can do anything I want to do. At least I would if I didn't always get disturbed. My family interrupts me. My teachers are distracting to me and my mind. You would think my friends would too, I guess they would if I ever had one. I have one friend. My Shadow. It doesn't interrupt me. It never distracts me. It barely disturbs me. People do. I HATE it when people interrupt me. My mind does too. I dream everyday. At my desk. While I'm eating. During breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. I dream all day every day. Everyone hates me for it. I dream. I think. My shadow is just like me. That's why I like it.

Wonder Draft 5

Most people would think that fitting in is easy, and that people with disabilities or have anything that might make the person need extra help is lucky. After reading the book Wonder by R.J Palacio it made me feal bad for those kids because even though they might need some extra help doesn't mean that they are not fun or enjoyable, they are just ordinary kids with probably similar hobbies than you. I think the author wrote this book so that we would know "Don't judge a boy by his face" This book is about a boy who has trouble fitting in everywhere because of the look of his face.

Throughout the story Auggie goes to school. It's not as easy as it seems. August Pullman was born with a cranial facial difference. This has kept him away from having any friends and going to school. On a car ride home while Via (his sister) is sleeping, Auggie wakes up he overhears his parents talking. " ' We can't keep protecting him' mom whispered to dad who was driving 'We can't just pretend that he's going to wake up tomorrow and this won't be his reality, because it is, Nate, and we have to help him learn to deal with it. we can't just keep avoiding situations that...' ' So sending him to middle school like a lamb to the slaughter...,' Dad answered angrily , but he didn't even finish his sentence because he saw me in the mirror" . A few weeks before school starts he goes to take a tour of his new school. Most of the kids are nice, but one boy, Julian, is mean to him, but luckily the other two kids, Jack and Charlotte stand up for him and say "'you're so rude Julian'" and "'Stop it Julian'" This shows that we should stand up for those who are having trouble dealing with bullies especially people with special needs because if no one was there to help the bulling would have gotten worse and Auggie would have never found the courage in him to go to school.

    Julian unfortunately ends up in the same class as Auggie. This causes serious issues and mishap throughout the school. Auggie starts to lose hope and feels alone even when people try to help. He knows when people say means stuff to him. He knows On the other hand, Auggie meets two friends, Summer and Jack. His new friends stand up for him when he is being made fun of. “I keep sitting with him because he’s fun” This shows that you should be nice to people who might not be as popular as you or might not look like most people would. You should like people for how they act and if their nice or not. Not how they look. Summer and Jack were being kind while Julian was being mean and later has no friends.

By the end of the story everyone was fine with Auggie and realized what a great kid he was. This shows that it’s fine to touch kids with disabilities, they’re not contagious or anything they are just different than everyone else. In the story the author writes,” I eat ice cream. I ride my bike. I play ball. I have an Xbox. Stuff like that makes me ordinary. I guess.  I feel ordinary. Inside.” This show’s that even when someone looks different than you, they are ordinary. They are kids. They have hobbies, they like what a ordinary kid their age would like. Just because they don’t look the same doesn't mean that they are any different in the inside. Just like the saying “It’s the inside that counts.”

"Don't judge a boy by his face" or " don't judge a book by its cover" There is no difference between a kid with disabilities than a kid without except they might need a little extra help or look a little different. Most kids like that may act a little different too but that is not there fault, it's just the way they were born! Just like people can't help what color there eyes or hair is, it's just the way they are. You shouldn't be jealous or envious of those kids. You should except and love the way they are. I know several kids with disabilities and they are actually pretty nice kids, they are cute, fun and lovable. I think that's what I think the book Wonder is about

Seussical Play

Today I went and saw the school play called Seussical. I knew many people in the play including, Mahlah, Kevyn, Vivian, Elise and many more! It was a very good play. It was basically Horton hears a who with a twist to it. I think that most everyone was a good singer and actor or actress. I think that you should see this play! I also saw Mr. Joe and Mrs. Roberts. I sat with my friends, Grace and Julia. We had a lot of fun together!

Hello!

Snow Day!

Below is the link to the video of me and Lauren chanting.

http://youtu.be/MCOvy032D5M 

"Snow day, snow day, snow day, snow day!" Me and my little sister Lauren chanted. "Snow day, snow day," I pushed on the trophy tight as I held it in between my shoulder and my sisters. "Snow day, snow day" we chanted some more while hoping that this would work. "Snow day, snow day." It felt like we had been chanting for hours now so I felt that it was time to stop. I took the Blogger of the week trophy out of our arms and slowly walked away hoping that it would work.

Snow

I like to play

All day

In the white powdery ground

I'll build a man

He will stand

He'll watch me play 

The snowman watches me standing there 

As the snow falls out of the sky

The powdered dust will melt

the man will fall

But the sun will come 

And brighten up the days

For they are better than snow.

'Crack'

 "Ellie?" Hannah said in the tone that mom mom uses when i'm in trouble. "Yes" I said as I took more and more pancakes. "Stop," she sounded annoyed. I had taken half the plate of pancakes and was now putting them back in the bowl. "Ellie, no."she whined "you touch them you take them." she said. Hannah started to get violent and then  started to yell for my Mom. That was when the trouble started. My mom came storming in and sent all of us in to our rooms. Even Lauren who was not included in this fight. That made her mad. When she gets mad, she gets mad! First she started off with some rude comments, and when I ignored her she got worse. I started to laugh while she kicked me because it usually makes her stop, but not this time. She was determined to kick and hit me until I went and got my mom or cried.  Now her kicking got harder and harder. It was actually starting to hurt so I got up from the ground and ran to my bed. She saw me and tore off my covers and wrestled me back onto the floor. I put my hand up to punch her but I only made the issue worse. She kick the bottom of my pinkie finger. I started to cry. I ran to my bed and put the sheets over my head. "Ellie," my mom called "Lauren, Hannah. Come here please"

I found out I broke my pinkie. It hurts really bad and I can not even bend it. (Lauren has a strong kick apparently)

Sugar Literary Essay

A lot of people have big dreams, most people would think that doing chores is bad. Once you read the book Sugar by Jewell Parker Rhodes, you will think differently, the author wrote this book so that people could learn about freedom, and how it would feel to be enslaved and have no one to talk to or play with. People around the world get mad when they don't have a playmate at recess, to the girl Sugar your considered lucky.

Throughout the story 

Gymnastics Meet (Part 4) After the Meet

'Err' the car slipped and slid as we pulled into the parking lot of the Mexican restaurant called Mojave in Clawson MI. "Hey" My sister Lauren said "We parked right next to dad!"
 "Oh ya" my mom said. We walked in the the restaurant and opened the heavy and very snowy doors. "How many?" a nice looking lady said to us as we warmed up. "Um, we are looking for a bigger party," my Mom said. "oh," the woman said "follow me" we followed her into the way back of the restaurant and there I saw my dad and other sister, and our family friends, Amelia, Magnolia and their mom. "Ellie, Lauren!" Amelia said as we walked in to the bright room. "How did you do?" Magnolia said. After that we had a lot of drawing competitions. For dinner I had a cheese quesadilla, fries and some sprite. When we got home I took out my bun and my hair went poof! It was so big!

Gymnastics Meet Part Three (Trampoline)

"Ellie" The judge said. I saluted and started to walk onto the trampoline when the judge said "Ellie?"
"yes?" I replied
"sorry, but don't start yet, we are not ready yet"
"okay" I said as polite as I could
"Sorry, judges are slow"
"Its fine," I said as I stepped back onto the side.
"okay" he said "Ellie"
Again I saluted and stepped onto the trampoline. I started to jump. Higher, higher, higher I got. Until I was finally high enough. Bach tuck, tuck jump....... I continued on with my routine and tried my best to do it the best I could. Rebound..... Stick???? I thought to myself. I stuck it! I stuck it!

Later on I went to get my awards. I went up to ask what event they were doing next and as they answered I caught a glance of the sheet that contaminated all of our scores and positions, I looked at it and then sat right back down, for I already knew that I was going to get 2nd. I was right, I was second and Lindsay L was 1st! I was so happy!

      My Routine 

Gymnastics Meet Part 2 (Double Mini)

My heart raced as the judge again called my name. "Ellie" he said as he smiled. I saluted as usual and started to run. I did a huge hurdle and hopped onto the double mini (for those of you who don't know what it is I will put a picture and video below to show you) Straddle (middle splits in the air) Pike (both legs in front and touching your toes) I dismounted and... I stuck it! That was not much of a surprise because it was my easiest pass. I saluted to the judges and walked off the mat and back in line to do my next passes. I waited for everyone else to go until it was my turn again. I went through the same process, hear my name, salute, run and hurdle. Straight Jump (normal) Tuck Jump (tuck your knees into your stomach) Front tuck. I stuck it but hobbled just a bit. I saluted and walked off the mat. I waited in line yet again and again went through the same process, hear my name, salute, run and hurdle. This was my hardest pass, Straight jump, Pike jump, front pike. I took one big step but I still kicked out. Later on I went to get my awards. (I don't remember the other peoples places) But I got third! I was kind of disappointed because my friend Lindsey W beat me but I was still proud of myself and what I did.

Sorry I did not get a picture of me standing on the podium 

Front Pike

Front Tuck

Gymnastics Meet

My heart pounded in my chest and my hands nervously shook as my name was called. "Ellie" the judge said. I slowly lifted my hands up, and saluted. (In gymnastics a salute is when you lift up both your hands and smile) I started to run. Hurdled. I put my hands on the ground and felt the familiar feel of the rod floor on my hands. Round-off, backhand spring, backhand sprang. I did a huge rebound. Please stick, please stick I thought to myself. I stuck it! I was relieved! Later on I went up to awards. I was just in time. "We are now announcing Girls Novice Floor for 10 year old's" the announcer said into the microphone. "In 6th place is Sophie!" she walked up to the front received her medal and walked to where she was supposed to go. It went on like this for a while until... "In second place is Lindsay L" she walked up to the podium and stepped up. " And in 1st place, from Troy Gymnastics is... Ellie!" I ran up to the woman and let her give me my medal. I hopped up onto the podium and she said "Athletes salute" we all saluted, I could tell this was going to be an awesome meet, even though we had only done one event.

I am up saluting after winning the floor competition! (The one in the teal and black leotard is me!)

To Be Continued

5/6 Dance

I have not written all weekend because I wanted to write tomorrow about my gymnastics meet, that will be taking place then. Anyway I don't think that I will be able to do that because I will be there all day but I will be able to write about it on Monday, and I will be able to post some videos of me doing it. So today I am going to write about the 5/6 dance that was on Friday.  So I went to the dance with my friends and we had an awesome time. The DJs were good and the made it fun by letting us play games and running around. Overall I had a awesome time and I went back to my friend Ali's house and left at like 10:00 PM. I have a feeling that this is one of the best weekends I've had!:-)

Blue Lake AHW

On Monday my orchestra teacher Miss Gillespie announced that there was going to be an audition for an overnight camp called Blue Lake.The audition would give you a scholarship to the camp, so you wouldn't have to pay as much. I am playing a piece called French folk song.I am very excited to audition so that I can see how much my music would be worth, ( if I sold it( though I am not going to)) today during my choice hour I was practicing. Miss Gillespie came over to help me just like she did to everyone else who was auditioning. I am so excited to see how other people think about my music!:-)

Iodine spill

Today for choice hour I had Science Olympiad, we have not gotten our second event yet, but my first one it Crime Busters. Crime Busters is where you have to identify different substances. Today we started to get our boxes ready, I am team one. Team two did not have a box. They got a completely new box with completely new stuff! Ours on the other hand was filled with dried iodine. It was so gross so well all the other people were practicing we had to clean out the nastiest substance of all time! They t was mixed with mold! And the sugar in our box had hardened. Although it was quite nasty it was still a thrilling "adventure"!

Wonder Literary Essay

Most people would think that fitting in is easy, (three popular girls) and that people with disabilities (child with disabilities) or have anything that might make the person need extra help (person in a wheel chair) is lucky (four leaf clover). After reading the book Wonder (Wonder cover) by R.J Palacio (RJ Palacio)it made me feel bad for those kids (kids)because even though they might need some extra help (child who needs extra help)doesn't mean that they are not fun or enjoyable (kids having fun), they are just ordinary kids (ordinary kids)with probably similar hobbies than you (kids having fun). I think the author (RJ Palacio)wrote this book(person writing) so that we would know "Don't judge a boy by his face" (back cover of Wonder)This book is about a boy (a boy)who has trouble fitting in (bullies)everywhere because of the look of his face.(ugly boy)

    Throughout the story Auggie goes to school.(BCS) It's not as easy as it seems ( popular kids). August Pullman was born with a cranial facial difference (ugly boy). This has kept him away from having any friends (friends) and going to school (BCS). On a car ride home (red Sudan) while Via (Via) (his sister) is sleeping, (child sleeping) and Auggie wakes up (alerted guy) he overhears his parents talking (parents talking). " ' We can't keep protecting him' (Over protective parents) mom whispered to dad (secret)who was driving (steering wheel)'We can't just pretend that he's going to wake up tomorrow (sleeping kid) and this won't be his reality (reality TV), because it is, Nate, (Nate)and we have to help him learn (Teacher)to deal with it. We can't just keep avoiding situations (situations) that...' ' So sending him to middle school (BCS) like a lamb (sheep) to the slaughter...,' Dad answered angrily,(angry emoji) but he didn't even finish his sentence because he saw me in the mirror (mirror)”. A few weeks (calendar) before school starts (summer) he goes to take a tour (open house sign) of his new school (BCS). Most of the kids are nice (nice kid), but one boy, Julian, (Julian) is mean (devil emoji) to him, but luckily (gold)the other two kids (two kids) , Jack and Charlotte stand up for him (bullies) and say "'you're so rude Julian'(guy wolfing down food) and "'Stop it Julian' (STOP sign)" This shows that we should stand up (Bullies) for those who are having trouble dealing with bullies (bullies) because if no one was there to help (helping) the bulling (bully)would have gotten worse and Auggie would have never found the courage(magnifying glass)in him to go to school.

    Julian unfortunately ends up in the same class (classroom) Auggie. Which causes serious issues (issue)and mishap throughout the school. On the other hand, Auggie (room number) meets two friends, Summer (palm tree)and Jack. This shows that you should be nice to people (nice) who might not be as popular (popular girl) as you or might not look like most people would (normal guy) . You should like people (kissy lips) for how they act and if their nice (helping person) or not (evil person). Not how they look (Myself). Summer and Jack were being kind (helping people) while Julian was being mean (devil emoji) and later has no friends (lonely person) 

By the end of the story everyone was fine with Auggie (kids having fun) and realized what a great kid he was (A+). This shows that it’s fine to touch kids (touching) with disabilities, they’re not contagious (sick person) or anything they are just different (diverse) than everyone else.

"Don't judge a boy by his face" (back of book) There is no difference between a kid with disabilities (child who needs help) than a kid without (popular girls) except they might need a little extra help(woman in a wheel chair). You shouldn't be jealous or envious of those kids (angry emoji). I know several kids with disabilities (person having fun) and they are actually pretty nice kids, they are cute (cute baby cat), fun (cute cat) and lovable (heart). I think that's why the author wrote (person writing) the book Wonder(Wonder Cover).

New Kitchen?

My parents have been wanting to redo our kitchen for almost a year now. Now it's finally being done! The good thing is we will have a "new" kitchen. But unfortunately there are some down sides to it. First, it smells, BAD! I mean really bad. And whenever I go inside my house it smells so bad and I feel like I am going to die! It is so bad. But I am excited to see how it turns out!😊

Christmas AHW

For Christmas I woke up and went straight into my mother and fathers room. We waited for Hannah to get up. When she got up I raced out of the bedroom and into the living room.

For Christmas Eve we go to my Uncle Mike's house.My cousin Haley and I took several pictures of our family and friends there. When we were done with that we sang Christmas carols with everyone else. We also got gifts from our godparents. I got a Loopdedoom and a  thing that you can hang on the wall. I had a fun Christmas Eve!

2 year old memory AHW

One of my favorite memories from when I was two was when my sister Lauren was born. It is of coarse my favorite memory because it was when I got a new sister. To tell you the truth I don't remember that much about it. I do remember that I played at the play land there. And I remember that she had a lot less hair than I did when I was born. I liked her because I was a big sissy. And I could play with her. I still like her and play with her!

4 year old memory AHW

BY far the best thing that happened to me was when I got my dog, Fletcher. We were up north and we had no idea that we were getting a dog (except my mom and dad) anyway we got in the car and my parents told me and my sisters that we were going to see some puppies. I was so excited because our old dog had died two years before and I had not been able to hold a dog since. When we got there we held so many dog! Apparently the owners dogs had a litter of nine puppies and they were for sale. A few days later we went back home. It was late so we were all trying to sleep, except fro my dad who was driving. My dad stopped at the house that we went to see the puppies at, got out of the car and came back with a dog in his hand! He was so cute and we have had him ever since. Fletcher is the best dog ever!

This is Fletcher now!:)

5 year old memory AHW

a lot of exciting things happened when five was when I started kindergarten. My teachers name was Mrs. Zibell. When I started school I have to admit I was shy, and really scared. I mean what kid is not even a little scared on their first day of school. Even now when I'm in 5th grade I still am nervous on my first day. Anyway the morning I woke up, hopped out of bed, got dressed and went to get some food. That day was not only my first day of school but it was my first day ever riding on the bus! I don't know why but for some strange reason I had always wanted to go on the bus. maybe it was because the older kids did it and I wanted to be a "big girl" but whatever, I was super excited for that. When I finished eating I was ready because when your in kindergarten all you need are like colored pencils and stuff and that was already packed in a bag for me to take. I waited....and waited.... and waited... until finally it was time. Jackson, our Neighbor was my age and he was in the same class as me. He has three other sisters Erica, who was one year older than me. Nicole, who was two years older than me and Malia who was three years older than me.My dad walked me and my sister Hannah out to the bus stop and waited with us until the bus came. The bus was not as I expected but of course its not usually a five year old's dream. When we got to school our bus driver, Mr. Rob called us off by grade. "Bus Buddies" he said. A small group of older kids got off the bus. "Kindergartners" he said. I slowly stood up from my seat and carefully walked down the steps. A girl named Adele walked me in, showed me where my locker was and took me into class. I knew it was going to be a great year!        

7 year old memory AHW

One of my favorite memories from when I was seven was when I had my first communion.  Although I had to wear a dress, it was still fun. The whole year we had been being trained for this one moment. The week before, my mom got a TON of dresses and veils and stuff. I thought that everything was ugly except one dress. It was my sister Hannah's dress that she wore. It was long, white and had several puffy flowers at the bottom. Since I did not want to wear a veil we found a headband that was also white and had a flower. The same day I had to try everything on, and take my picture for an invitation. That night my mom put together the invitation, printed then out and mailed them. My Babcia took me out to buy shoes, they were also white, and had a white flowers on them. On the day of the communion we got ready for the party. When we got to church we had to sit in these plastic chairs and wait for like five minuets. Then parents took us into the pews. At the end of mass we went up one by one and got the Eucharist. The bread tasted fine, but the wine was way to bitter and sour. When we got to our house we had a awesome time at the party and spent time with our family and friends. I will always remember that day because of how special it was.
