Too Many Toys

According to an article we read in Time for Kids, kids in the U.S.A. have too many toys and here is how I know.  The archaeologists of UCLA (stands for University of California, Los Angeles) found mountains of toys in most of the houses they looked at. Most of the toys are made in China.

So here are five ways to lower the amount of toys you have:

1. You can donate your toys to an orphanage.

2. Make a yard sale and sell all the toys that you never play with.

3. give some of your old toys to your cousins that are poor or give some to your friends.

4. Give them to Goodwill or Children’s Raid Hospital.

5. Give to a needy classroom. 

Do you have too many toys? What could you do with the toys you don’t play with?

Kumeyaay Indians Field Trip

Last month we learned a lot about the  Kumeyaay Indians, such as how they survived using natural resources, what they ate, what they did, what they wore, and where they lived.  We went on a field trip to the Kumeyaay Ipai Interpretative Center which is a museum. 

How did the Kumeyaays live? They survived by hunting for food and making their own tools, such as a rabbit stick, baskets, pots, bows and arrows, cloths, and toys for children.  They ate a lot of deer, nuts, seeds, and other types of animals. The Kumeyaay children liked to make their own toys and games to entertain themselves. The Kumeyaays boys ran around naked, while girls wore skirts and painted there face like parrots. They lived in giant e’waa or huts.

It was a very fun field trip and we leaned a lot. Here are some pictures from our field trip.

Make your own slideshow with music at Animoto.

Do kids need their own cell phone?

I think kids need their own cell phones. I listed some reasons why. Kid’s should have their own cell phone’s because what if you get lost you could for help. What if you need to search something they can do it on their cell phones and there are no parents around? What if your mom is running late if kids have cell phones your mom can tell you on your phone if someone else is going to pick you up.

Another reason kids need their own is to keep in touch with your family and friends .If your mom is running late you can call your her instead of feeling like he forgot you. You can also keep in touch with your friends and family

Cell phones could really help in an emergency. You could call if you need to and there is no other phone .If someone is hurt and no one is around you can call for help like call a friend or a parent for help. If someone is trying to rob and you are alone and not at your house you can call the cop’s.

This is why I think kids need their own cell phones. They could also call if you are in danger, need help or need something they can do it on their phone.

Tracking Great White Sharks

Today I was watching the news and there was a report on great white sharks. A scientist with Ocearch has caught and tagged several great white sharks with GPS tracking devices in order to track their movement. If you visit Ocearch’s website you can track different sharks.

I had no idea that great white sharks travelled so far! Check this out. A shark called Mary Lee travelled all the way up and own the east coast, from Cape Cod to Jacksonville. She’s even gone all the way to Bermuda! Who knew sharks could swim that far.

Check out the website and be sure to post your comments.

We need more homework

We need more homework

We need a lot of homework so we don’t get too lazy. We can also get challenged at home and get smarter. More homework will help us learn so we are ready for tests.

More homework will get you closer to your family. When you need help your whole family will crowd around and help you with your work. Also you won’t get bored, and not become a lump ball (a person that is too lazy).

More homework will give you a good education and also a good career. It will get you ready for all the next grades and all the way to college!

More homework will really help you. So if you have more homework you will have a good life. The more homework you do, the more you learn to go forward in school. Also you will take one step closer to a better future!

Yeah for snow cone Fridays

Yummy snow cones!

Every Friday we should have snow cone Friday for just two dollars! It’s easy to make, snow cones are really tasty, and lots of kids will get really excited to have snow cones every Friday! Sisters, brothers, parents, and really anyone is invited.

Kids loves snow cones especially on hot days. We can also raise money for our school, like for P.E. equipment and school supplies. Our school will get more education with better school supplies. We can get more books and better computers. I think raising money for school is a great idea! It will be so fun when we have new school supplies.

Kids will get excited to go to school every Friday knowing they will get snow cones. Kids will  listen better so they won’t get in trouble because that way teachers will let them go get snow cones after school. So, kids will get out of bed and rush to school to get snow cones.

 Even though snow cones are sugary they can be healthy. We can put less high fruit corn syrup and we will have less sugar. We can use lots of vitamins and calcium. It is healthy, tasty, and kids are happy all at the same time.

All kids think it’s a great idea for having snow cones on Friday. The school is raising money, kids are excited, and it can be healthy all at the same time! If we had snow cones at our school I would get it every Friday and so would my friends! Do you think we should have snowcone Friday.

We need a grass field

Our dirt field hurts when you fall on it.

I think it would be better to have a grass field we could play new games, have more soccer fields, and people won’t get hurt.

I would like a grass field so we can play football it will keep you from getting hurt. I asked the nurse and she said that every day 5 people come in with a scratched knee or something because of the gravel on the dirt field.

Not only football will be better we can have muiltiple soccer field’s. People fall down playing soccer and they won’t get hurt. With more fields you can play a full game and you won’t get hurt.  You only score one goal then it’s the next game.

We can also play new games like kick ball. We banned kick ball because people where getting hit with the ball then they fall and get hurt. Well in grass if you fall you usually don’t get hurt maybe they twist their wrist but that usually doesn’t hurt at all.

I hope that you think these reasons are good and that you will get a grass field instead of dirt so kids won’t get hurt.

Do kids need cell phones?

Did you know 800,000 children get lost per year? Cell phones can change this problem. If a kid is lost in a crowd the kid will be able to contact supervision. Think of a kid lost with no cell phone they would run around looking for their parents and the parents looking for them. Chaos, right? That is only one way cell phones can help kids.

Kids always want to be with friends. If we had a cell phone it would feel like being with them. Some people in that are a part family don’t live us so we can contact them and the cell phone fixes that problem too.

Do kids really need cell phones?

Kids get bored very often. Phones can have apps are able to be on phones so we can learn, play, use the internet, and other ways to use time. Some games are both playing and education games like cloud math and chalkboard math.

Cell phones can help in many different ways. Those are to contact supervision, call people, and to entertain. That’s why I think kids should have cell phones.

Kids needs a longer recess time

This is a kids playground.

Can you imagine what it would be like if kids had longer recess time. If we had a longer recess we would have time to eat a healthy snack. We would also have time to play and run around. If you have longer recess kids will like school more. I think recess should be longer.

If  the school had longer recess, more kids will like school and some kids will get to eat their snacks and play. Sometimes kids want to eat their snack but they don’t get enough time to play. Say that I was eating my snack and I don’t get enough to play, tetherball, backstop, wall ball, and all the other stuff I want to do.

We need to eat snack to be healthy. We need to be healthy so we can have a healthy mind and ready to learn. Kids need to be nutritious. We need to run and get exercise at recess so we can be healthy. Being healthy is very important.

I think we should have a 30 minute recess. So we can can eat our snack for at least 10 minutes and play for 20 minutes. The reason why we don’t have longer recess is because, they think that we should have more learning time then playtime. I think we already have enough learning time.

Kids Should Not Have Cell Phones

Should kids have cell phones?

I think kids should not have cells because they can hurt  you. Most kids say they need a cell because if I get lost I need a way to talk to people, but really even if you get lost in the middle of nowhere you still you would have no coverage for a cell.

Cell Phones can cause cancer and cause learning problems.They can hurt the brain by sending singles and receiving calls. And they can hurt kids more because they are still growing.

They can also take away from family and friend time. and will make you anti social and you will start to ignore people. You might get addicted as well which will make it hard to stop. they can make you start to be mean to other people.

Kids should not have cell phones for many reasons. that is why i am typing this, so if you would tell your kids or kids tell your brain. I think you should not get a cell phone…until you are at least 11 years old.

Buy Alternative Cars

I think alternative cars are better and we should buy them instead of regular old cars. Fuel is running out and it means regular cars won’t be able to start up anymore. Regular cars pollute the air. Alternative cars save money on gas.

Regular cars pollute air and if we keep polluting the air we cannot live. The air around us will be dirty and smoggy. Regular cars are bad for the environment.

There is not a lot of fossil fuel left so regular cars will not be able to run when there is no fuel. Alternative cars do not use fossil fuels so that means they can run without fossil fuels. Scientists say that fossil fuels will run out in about one hundred years. We need to find other vehicles for transportation.

When you drive alternative cars you also save money on gas. Gas prices cost like $3.93 per gallon and that’s a lot!  Alternative cars cost zero dollars for gas and that’s a difference. We could save money to buy other things.

Alternative cars are better for the environment. They don’t cost as much because they don’t use gas. They don’t pollute the air.  Alternative cars are the future of cars.

Kids need more games

Kids need more games to play during rainy day recess.

Kids need more games. On rainy day recess kids have to stay inside and that’s a problem. Many kids don’t have fun games to play or any games at all. There is no games for inside recess we need board game like chess or checkers.

Our classroom doesn’t have any board games. In my class I can only draw or play on the computer.

In my class we have a thing is called Friday fun we always have to borrow from the P.E teacher. Not much classes has balls and toys. Some classes at our school do not have any P.E equipment like balls and bats.

Now kids just stand around and get in trouble and just talk during rainy day recess.

We need more balls and more game for the outside. Like a grass field for soccer and football.We need more balls because some of our balls are really flat. We need physical activity like running and kicking.

Less or more homework?

I think that We should have less homework because sometimes people are very busy and can’t do some of the things we like and are parents have to wast some of their time. Plus we can’t bond with are family and it does not help us on test. we will be too tired to work the next day

We have no time to have fun with our family because if we are in our room alone all day and my mom does not come in because she just wants me to finish my homework.  Than me and my family cannot eat together and play fun games and we can’t watch our family shows me and my mommy can’t read together and I go play with my Dad. And me and my brothers can’t walk my dogs. When my sister comes home I’m always doing homework. If we had less homework then we could play and have fun with our family all day long and we could bond better our family too.

Some kids complain a lot because they might be in the middle of coloring then they have to stop and do homework. But if we have less homework than right when they get home they can do there homework and have the rest of the day to do what they want to do.   I love to go to my art class but I have so much homework that sometimes I can’t go and I have to stay home and do my homework. If we are always doing homework than we can’t find out what we love to do and want to do in the future. And we will not have we will get bad grades. And I will have no time to read and practice multiplication and if I can’t read then I can’t let my imagination

Most teachers think that if we have     If we have more homework it actually does not improve are test score because in elementary school it does not help on test say a homework scientist and when kids get tired their brain shuts down should not have more homework because it would just tire us out and we would be tired for the test.

This also effects money problems because parents have to sit down with you and they cannot work and you eat worse to because senses you parents are helping you with homework they can’t make a good dinner. And if we don’t have a good dinner than we won’t have enough brain food and our bodies won’t run and we will stay up late doing homework than we will be very tired for the next day.

When kids are done with their homework it is time eat dinner than take a shower and get in to their p.j s it is time for bed and they have no time to do everyday things. If we had less homework i would have so much more time.

So if we have less homework than we will have less stress and we will play outside more and be more active and we will have time to eat a healthy homemade Diner so we will be heather and we will be less stressed and we will go to bed earlier and we will go to bed earlier be ready to work very hard the next day.

Kids have too much homework

Do kids have too much homework?

Kids should have less homework because a lot of kids are complaining that there is a lot of homework to be done and parents can’t make a lot of money to go places.

Kids have less time to bond with their family because kids need time to bond with their family. Like girls should have time to bond with their moms and boys with their dads to be a proper boy or girl. They should have time to go out to dinner even I don’t get out go out to dinner. They also should get to play

Kids are getting too much stress. My friend Zachary stays out of school.   He had a lot of homework to be done. He finished but it took at least 2 or 3 days. Even in 4th grade they complain to. I don’t think that is right and so there is a lot of stress I think all around the world and kids need a break because when they come to school the next day the will come to school they will be tired and won’t focus good in class.

Parents don’t make a lot of money because they have to stay home and do homework with their kid or kids like my mom. We need less homework so kids can have food in their house. They need nice home to live in. So if kids have less homework than they have less stress are more active and eat better and are much and heifer.

Kids miss a lot of stuff like parties, soccer games, and other stuff. They don’t get there because of too much homework. Even moms and dads miss work or conferences. Kids want to go to the park and they can’t because they have too much homework to do. Kids can’t do what they want to do and by the time they finish their homework they have to eat diner and go to bed and there will be no play time. Tha’ts why I think we should have less homework.

About Drugs

My class is doing a health topic and right now we are studying about drugs. We learned that not all drugs are bad for you but you should NEVER take a drug from a kid, teen or untrusted parent! There are all sorts of drugs. There are pills, liquid and inhalants (those with poisonous fumes). We also learned that some drugs are called OTC drugs or over-the-counter. Oh yeah, I forget to tell you about medicines. Medicines are a type of drug but they are not as strong as prescription drugs. Drugs are not always bad for you they sometimes help you heal when you are sick BUT if you don’t follow the instructions correctly you might find your self getting sick or hurt.
