Thanksgiving!

Do you feel thankful for anything? I am thankful for my family, my friends, and the food. What are you thankful for? Leave your comments on what you appreciate this year!

Hello!

Hi everybody! Sorry I haven't updated my blog since May. Now that it's Veteran's Day, I hoped you showed your gratitude to the veterans who fought in the wars. Armistice Day is celebrated on the 11th day of the 11th month on the 11th hour of November. So, at 11:00, veterans were probably celebrating. Yesterday in school, we learned and watched a powerpoint presentation in World Cultures class. It showed a quote at the end, "We take for granted the very things that need gratitude," or something like that. Me? At 11:00, I think I was lying on the bed, playing games. ...Which, only proves that quote's point. Sorry. Hmmmm, people do take things for granted, especially important things that need gratitude. I think you have something to think about over Thanksgiving on the 26th now. I know I do!

5th Grade Auction!

Today was the day for the 5th grade auction! It is like a bidding. Pretend we were bidding for a picture frame:

Person in Charge of Bid (PCB): "Who would like to say the opening bid for this picture frame?"
Bidder: "$50!"
Competing Bidder: "$75!"
Another Bidder: "$150!!"
PCB: Anyone? Going once...Going twice...Sold!

And then, the person who said $150 gets to keep it. Here's what I spent, and what I have spent ON (of course, school paper money, not real money):

$3000 on 2 charm necklaces
$2300 on 3 bath bead test tubes and confetti eye mask
$3000 on vanilla swirl body lotion
$3000 on a $10 Walmart gift card
$700 on Wild Cherry Lifesavers, Hard
$0 on free sample of one Fireball
$0 on free sample of one package of Skittles
$5000 on A TELEVISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe the last one?! You can earn money and bonuses by behaving, and turning in work on time. I did that for the whole school year, and you see what it got me?! I still can't believe it... I WON A TV!
