Meow Cats

One day I started looking at books about cats (besides cheetahs!) and then I started to be more interested in cats than I was. There are so many different kinds -- some main breeds and breed groups. For example in the Asian Breed are Tabbies and Asian Smokes and a Red. My favorites of all of the cats are the Chestnut Classic Tabby and the Lavender Classic Tabby and the Chestnut Silver Classic Tabby. These are all part of the Oriental Short-Hair breed.

They are my favorite because they look beautiful, they look like they are good hunters, and I looked up on the internet and they say the tabbies are the best cats to have for pet.

I can't have a cat because our dog chases them away and also because mommy's allergic to them.

We did have cats. They were the Bombay breed (or something that looked like Bombay!)

Too much Muppets? Too many Muppets?

My pool was so green, when Kermit jumped in I couldn't even see him!

My dog is so thin that yesterday his skin split in half!

My tent is so small that a mouse can't even fit in it!

I once saw a book that I could not even read - the font was size one!

My rubber is so useless that it can't rub any kind of car!

My friend is so fat that he EXPLODED today!

One day I went to school and saw a sign that said: Please go pee-pee on your socks for warmth!

My house door is so small that an ant can't fit through it!

Explainer:

I wrote these funny jokes because we watched the Muppets almost every night last week and I like Fozzy Bear! He tells very funny jokes. One day me and Finny thought we could make our own Muppet Show. Finny was Kermit and I was Fozzy Bear. We both thought that the guest could be a little bird on a stick. It didn't have a name - we named it Miss Bird. Miss Bird had a very short act. I was next and I told the jokes I wrote up above.

MADNESS

New York felt cold. It was winter.

The Mad Scientist was working on a project. It was lunchtime but he wasn’t eating. He, Disco, was too busy for lunch. He was sitting on the floor in his laboratory. In his right hand was a pencil. In his left hand was his science notebook. He was starting a new science project and it couldn’t wait.

The top of the page had the following words: I DON”T KNOW.

Why would Disco write “I DON”T KNOW.”

Until that day, Disco really thought he knew everything but something happened in the morning to tell his he did not.

He felt cold. His muscles would not let him write. When he tried to write the title of the experiment his muscles only wrote “I DON”T KNOW.” He had lost control of his hand. He wanted to write “Why do some people lose control of their hands?” but he had lost control of his own. He could not even move his hand; it was just moving on it’s own.

He had been sitting on the floor just looking at the words on the paper for one hour when he remembered that his hand was doing the work. Disco was doing the wrong work. Disco wanted to write “I don’t know” but on accident he was trying to write “Why do some people lose control of their hand?” That was supposed to be the subtitle. Now he had already done his test.

Science Week Part II: Scientific Research

Can you guess what Owen's science experiment was for his science fair project?

Science Week Part I: Mad Scientist

Guitar strings and things

I am taking guitar class with four other kids. Finn is taking guitar

lessons with another class. Miss Holly is our teacher!

All guitars have 6 or 12 strings and all guitars have a fret board which can be called the 'neck'. I like to call it the neck. They also have frets. A fret is what you put your finger behind. The main parts of a guitar are: head, neck, and body. In the head are the tuning pegs and part of the strings. In the neck there are most of the strings, the nut, position markers, and the frets (fret wires). In the body there are two strap pegs (if you have them) the soundhold, a part of the string, the waist the bridge and that's it.

You should know how to hold a guitar. You should hold it by putting the body on your lap with the soundhole facing out. Then take your left hand and put it at the top of the neck. Your fingers should curl around the bottom to the front and your thumb should stay in the back. You right hand plays the strings with your pointer finger or with your thumb. If you have a pick you can use your pick. A pick is something that looks like a large, not that pointy fingernail. You hold a pick between your thumb and your pointer finger.

The order of the strings go like this: E - A - D - G - B - E. You can remember them by saying this sentence: Everyone Asks, Do Goats Burp Everyday. If you tell someone and they don't know how to remember by the sentence you should just tell them just to take the first letter of every word in the sentence. We made up a new sentence: Elephants And Dogs Go Biking Everywhere. There is also another one and this is how it goes: Every Animal Does Go Burp Everyday.

BYE!

Hoopty Doopty

Do you know what a nonsense poem is? Well, a nonsense poem is a poem that doesn't make really any sense! I'll tell you my nonsense poem:

Hoopty Doopty sat on a wick.

Hoopty Doopty had a great fick.

All the ning's hoors

and all the ning's boors

Couldn't put Hoopty together again!

See, it doens't make any sense!
