In Math Class…

In math class we are currently learning about Angles. Like yesterday for example, we were measuring the angles. What will we do today? Practice? Pop quiz? No one knows…

Ps: Be scared If your in our math class.

I bet you never thought that you would be a prime ministers daughter! But lets go on a adventure and see how one girl’s life started.

First lets see what your name is. Your name is Indira Gandhi and you were born on November 19, 1917. You were born in Allahabad,UP,India. Your dad is named Jawaharlal Nehru and is India’s first prime minister.Then you grow up a little, and become a beautiful yong woman.Then the people elected you the into the congress in India. But very soon Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri died in 1966 and further more, India now needs a leader then you Indira Gandhi was chosen as a perfect candidate to replace him. You were elected to the office in 1967. In 1975 you were convicted of cheating in the 1971 election and the Highest Court in India made you resign. But you declared a state of emergency.Then the high court took back on the charges and then you went for the 1979 election.But you lost the election.But then had a great comeback in 1980 and then you ran again to be the prime minister and got elected again!!!But then a horrible thing happened on October 31, 1984, you, Indira Gandhi. Sikh bodyguards assassinated you.Wasn’t that a cool adventure I guess you are a true hero.(Or Indira Gandhi is.)And long live the true hero!!!!

What I learned from doing this topic is that you have to fight for what you believe and trust it and even better follow your dreams and live life fighting for what you want believe and care for just like Indira Gandhi.

Gandhi’s was assassinated on January 30,1948 in New Deli. Mohandas K.Gandhi was assassinated by a Hindu extremist whoe act plunged India into sorrow and fear. Rioting broke out immediatly in Bombay. Gandhi died at 5:45 P.M. [7:15 A.M EST] with his head cradled in the lap of his 16 year old granddaughter,Mani. Gandhi was shot in the luxurious garden’s of Birla House.

I only knew that Gandhi was a man in India who spoke English.

I would like to go to Brazil because as you may know soccer is my favorite sport and Brazil is known for their soccer expertise. I would love to learn something from these fantastic players.

Ha Ha, well o.k.?

Today I went to my friend Jared’s basesall practice, but it started raining while I was there. We went swimming in their pool and then went to see the movie 8 Below. How is it there in Connecticut? Cold? It’s about 70 degrees F here! I’ll bring some pictures and the sharkteeth I found back to school with me. I’ll keep you posted, bye.

Ryan J (Science Project for Mr. Larwence))

The Black spotted Lemur was just recently found in the Tiberian Jungle in Tuswania. The lemur has many behaviors that affect its living in the jungle. Here are some of its instincts and behaviors. The lemur will hunt and put its prey (usually a rat or other small animal) up in its tree. This lemur is very territorial and will kill any animal if it comes into its territory. This lemur can run at speeds up to 65 mph! WOW huh? This lemur will usually learn to swim at an early age too. The lemur will usually sleep about 14 hours of the day and will only come out during the late part of the day. The Lemur also, as an instinct, will run from any known predator. Also if it hears a loud sound or something that may cause it harm then it will STOP, LOOK, LISTEN, and if the coast is clear then it keeps doing its business. The lemur will carry its baby lemur on its back to keep its gentle skin from touching the ground; the skin will get tougher as it gets older. The baby lemur will start with what looks like a Ring Tailed Lemur’s tail but once again as it gets older it will get its leopard tail. This animal will grow short but very sharp claws which will allow it to climb trees better.

Court Ship Maneuvers

While Ryan J was strolling through the Tiberian Jungle looking for the recently discovered Black Spotted Lemur he saw two of them looking as if they were doing some sort of Courtship maneuvers. So he decided to watch the two Lemurs and see if they were mating. Sure enough they were. He had discovered the courtship maneuvers of the Black Spotted Lemur. He was kind enough to tell us the maneuvers and here they are……..1. The Male will rub against the Female. 2. Then he will push her head down while the female is resisting with all her strength to see if the sperm will be strong enough. 3. Then they will mate (And live happily ever after ha just kidding!) 4. The job of the male is now done. The female will now raise the offspring and teach it everything it knows.

The Black Spotted Lemur may not be the only new species. There could be many many more as we are coming into this new era. Stay tuned to the World Report News Paper as we look for “Unknown Species”

I was just finshed feeding my little pigs and I was thinking of writing about them. Also I have to tell you that I have 8 but if you want some let me know. Oh did I tell that around Christmas my mom pig had babys and they are sooooo cute.Each of them have their own colors of fur like Daddy pig is brown and white and then Mommy pig is black and white and 3 of the babies are also black and white and the others are white and light brown. If you were wondering what they need if you want one, they need food you can get at Walmart, and some gerrn hay and a cage and a stick you can find in your back yard. Trust me they are easy to handle so just get one!!!

The 2006 winter olympics is being held in Torrino, Italy. The U.S. snowborder Shaun White, competed in the olymics snowboarding the Half Pipe. The Half Pipe is a snowmade pipe with it’s top cut off.

The red head from California, 19 years old, spead down the HalfPipe at 46.8 seconds, recieving the gold medal. The U.S. was hoping for a repeat of the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, where they received gold, silver, and bronze medal. But instead a guy from Finland took bronze. Silver went to another U.S. competitor, and Gold was received by the Flying Tomatoe, A.K.A Shaun White. This is what you said after receiving the gold medal, ” I’m a little overwhelmed right now. I can’t explain it.” Shawn was a favorite in the Olympics, and expected to take first. Congrats on your first olympics medal Shaun!

News Flash…

We have just discovered where Mr.Easy came from…. wait our Easy Button heritage tracer machine is working wait… There there it is! The easy button apparently is from sector 3 from planet E-Zbut-ton! Wow so Mr. Easy is from sector 3 from planet E-Zbut-ton! Ok so now we need to send a space probe to see if it’s true.

20 years later

Yes thats right we just spent $60,000,000,000 dollers to find out if Mr. Easy really came from planet E-Zbut-ton but hey it was worth it. Ok maybe it wasn’t but we already got the ship there so no turning back. We have radio signals with the astronauts. “Billy Bob can you hear me?” “Yes sir I can”. “Ok” “yah” “sure” ok to tell you the truth (whisper) I didn’t think we would get this far!” Now let’s get down to business. “Ok Billy now all you have to do is look around the planet” “Roger” Ok now that he’s looking around we can turn on the screen and watch the “wonderful” view of this new planet…… Holy COW THERE ARE THINGS UP THERE! Oh they’re just taking Billy to their camp(oh by the way the things are easy buttons!) This is bill-y chhh… BANG!!! Ok that was weird!

Well looks like we will never find out the whole truth about Mr. Easy! AND I SPENT $60,000,000,000 DOLLERS ON THAT SPACE CRAFT! Oh well. See you next time on the

” That was easy show”

Miss V’s class rocks.
