//AR score Conch Bearer// //My friends// In English class, my friends and I had a splendid time together. We liked to do projects together and laugh together. Even though there was some problems in our class, my friends still held tight together. We laughed together in jokes and sometimes did our work together if we could. I love me friends and wish to be the same in 7th grade too.

I think Anand will chose to go live with his family. Since Anand has lived with his family for a long period of time it won't be easy for him to forget about them. His family has taken a lot of care of him and is sad without Anand. It's now Anands turn to give pay back to his family of how much they cared for him. Even though he could have powers if he lived in the Silver Valley but a family is more important then powers.

//Amazing memory// It's very very VERY cool of him to memorize 2000 pie numbers. It's interesting that he has different brains then ours. It's spectacular that he even knows 8 languages.

//On the photos// It's very sad that the pelicans and other birds are dieing because of the oil spill. The BP is in charge of it but it seems like they still didn't make any process. They should be making more tools to stop the oil spill.

//The most exciting thing that happen to me//
 * Classwork January 14th**

The most exciting thing that happened to me was when I went to Lotte World with my friends. We rode the most fastest ride there and almost fainted when we got out of it. After that we went to eat hot dogs which was fantastically delicious! The only part that I didn't like was when there was only one person left out and couldn't ride the ride. It would of been better if everyone could ride every roller coaster so that no one could be left out. This is the most exciting thing that happened to me.

Thesis statement From that experience I learned the bigger I think the smaller it actually is.

There once was a boy named Big Bob, he was always such a trouble-maker. When it was Sundays, he'd sleep like a bear in it's winter sleep and then wakes up a 11am in the morning. When he wakes up, he first goes slowly down to the tv like a turtle and watches tv. After that he goes eat breakfast like a person who never ate before and throws his dishes in the bin and goes to sleep again. Nobody can stop that clumsy boy. Big Bob has one of those humongous eyes like an elephant. When he eats he becomes a pig and swallows up everything that's on his plate. When it becomes class time he stomps like a mad cow to his desk and tells everyone to be quite and then he sleeps. As recess comes he runs out and plays like a little child playing mommy and daddy with his GIRLFRIENDS! Since none of the boys his age likes to play mommy and daddy, he plays with the girls. At class, when Miss. Kells asks Big Bob a question he first stares at her with bulls eyes and said "How should I know." If it's time to go home he first gets his bag ready and zooms off like a rocket to his house. In conclusion, Big Bob is a silly little monkey and doesn't really know a THING about planet earth.
