I Lost my fish!
She’s Not in the tank
Not in the bathtub
Is she in the sink?
I have lost my fish
Does the cat have have him
Oh silly old cat
Wait she’s not there
I’ve lost my fish
I’ll go ask mom
Where is mom
Shes downstairs
I walk downstairs
There she is
Mom
I call
Yes
She says
Where is the fish
Im sorry says Mom
Our fish is gone
NO
I say
It can not be gone
Sorry says mom
I run and cry
Later on we walk outside
to bury the fish
in our backyard
Bye Bye Angel….
My fishy died when I was about six but i decided to write about it now
As most of you know Haiti has just had an enormous earthquake that has changed the lives of many people. All you need to know is that we can help! The Red Cross is collecting money so that is a great place to donate to. Our class is working on doing the best we can to make a difference. When you think about what has happened… you feel powerless! And I bet the people in Haiti want our help. As Rebekah said yesterday in class “If the earthquake had happened where you lived… wouldn’t you want people to help?” And I totally stand by that!
Think. If you got someone half way across the world that was thinking about you, praying for you, sending money on your benefit. You would feel like royalty compared to what you used to be at. People you don’t even know existed are now sending money to help you and your country. That’s amazing and it is all happening! You can be one of those people who can help save the life’s of many. There is still Hope.
Everyone is trying to make a difference with telethons and fundraisers. This is going to stay here for a lot of time. its not quick as in a few months this is a long time shock that will affect people forever. It will always be stuck in there mind and it may never go away. With missing limbs its not something you can forget… it will live with them till the day they die.
Please help all the people in need! http://www.flickr.com/photos/27015396@N08/4280394609

Blogging… It can be good… Bad… Fine…. HORRIBLE… But in the end it is just fine. It really depends on your mood. If you are FORCED to write a post it will not be as good and you will not like it as much. If you choose to write it then it will be most likely better. This is an assigned post so…. Anyway we are supposed to write about our ‘point of view on blogging’ so here it goes. I think blogging is okay at most times, but some of the time I don’t really like it. I’d rather write a comment then write a post. See… I like different things to do with blogging! I’m thinking of changing my blog to all movie reviews and all of my assigned posts will be in a page… Any way I’m off topic so blogging…. hmmmmm…. blogging. I like it\hate it… Well that’s it…. bye

Lizzie’s Christmas Pivot from Jan Smith on Vimeo.
This is a video. The video is short. And you have time to watch it. So do it. Now.
Anyway we did it on pivot animation and it took me about 2 days to get it sorted out and ready to be published. Every ones videos will soon be out on vimeo and on their blogs. It was hard work but it was fun… You should try it out. WE made the animation on pivot then downloaded it onto Windows Movie Maker. It was cool to use because my sister has made lots of random videos on it so it is easy for me.
Umm… Thats all! Thanks for reading!
Christmas season is here and it is great! Just like most people I have lots of Christmas traditions. I going to tell you about only a few of them and then tell you a lot about one… Here it goes! One tradition I have is we always have dinner with our family on the day of Christmas… It is at my house, my Aunt and Uncle’s house or my grandparents house. We all live just about a few minutes away. Not all of us do though! Our cousins from Vancouver are coming and they have to come from about three hours away. Other people who come are our cousin from Whistler.
Here’s another tradition… We wake up on Christmas and open presents. That is kind of obvious but who knows that? Now for the big one. My favorite tradition is the sugar cookies. We do everything! We cook, clean bake, ice, decorate. Every year my sisters and I choose a friend to come over and decorate cookies… It doesn’t seem like much but it lasts for so long. I bring my BFF Jenna and Chloe brings Maya and Hannah (her sister). Anna brings Haley. My mom and Maya’s mom both go “simple” like the picture while we load it on while supplies last. We have big and tiny chocolate chips, coconut (colored), nerds, LOTS of icing and a million types and colors of sprinkles. The best ways to ice is to put on…
Ya… It is a complicated process… I know.
I love Christmas! What is your favorite season?

Like I said in a later post, most times you can’t choose a book by its cover. I usually don’t but I definitely have in my past. I like t0 read the back of a book before I read it because it tells a lot about what happens inside the book, but not enough to tell you the main events. If you ever write a book make the teaser or blurb interesting because then I might just read it!
A Good Book Cover
I think a book cover should have lots of detail as well as colour…(unless it is about something dark and scary. Then you should make it really creepy but use lots of shades of black, gray and brown (and others too!). For the back cover give it a colour and small drawing. For the writing on the back get recommendations, a chunk out of the book or what the book is about.
Thanks for reading! Lizzie

It’s almost my Birthday so I’m getting excited! I’m having a sleepover with my three closest friends. We will be watching Get Smart… I love that movie! It might sound like a thriller but its so funny. It’s about a guy who blows up buildings… That sounds weird… Anyway, The Rock, Steve Carell and Annie Hathaway. They are all agents… Long, long, long story. Seriously. I could tell you more but I won’t spoil that ending for you!
For Halloween a guy gave out FULL size bag of cheezies so we will be eating them, pretzel sticks ( I LOVE them!) and BBQ Chips! My party is in 4 days unless you are reading this after four days from November 17th… My real birthday is on November 25th as it has been every year. Hee Hee…
What are you doing for your birthday? If it’s today… HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The Soldiers
In the trenches
Or living in the battle fields
Soldiers send letters to loved ones
While listening to gun shot
Then waiting for dark to fall
Burrowing tunnels and funk holes
Waiting for its end
Gone for many years with daily terrors
Alive or dead
With emotional ties
Away from the trenches
Never to come back again

I know Remembrance day is over but I wrote this in class for an assignment and we have to publish this on our blog… I hope you enjoyed the poem! We got a piece of paper that told you about war and we had to highlight pieces in the writing that we liked. We then used the parts in the paper and made them into a poem.
In our class we have been doing a thing in blogging called count three on… That`s when you find a completely new blog, look at their blog roll find another blog, look at their blog roll and find another blog… Comment on that blog and then you’ve got your count three on!
In our class we had to do at least three sets and I visited Rachel’s Blog, Courty’s Blog , Jacob13’s Blog and Jessica’s Blog. They all had great post and I commented on one on each blog. You should try by going to one of my classmates blogs and trying it out.
