All We Wanna Do Is... Take a Trip to Galena

All We Wanna Do is... Take a Trip to Galena

2 weeks ago, the 6th graders at the middle school I attend went south of Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa. We even took an awesome coach bus there!

Most of these pictures were taken from Ulysses S. Grants home.

Ulysses S. Grant, was the 18th President of the United States from 1860-1877. He was born Hiram Ulysses Grant was born April 27,1822. He died July 23, 1885. He and his family lived in Galena, Illinois. That's the house we visited in Galena.

This is a photo of Grant's family

This is a pic of their dining home in the home

This is a pic of a...bed(Owww!)

This is a photo of Grant's daughter Nellie bedroom

This is their kitchen with some mock food on the table

Surprisingly , this is an old time stove

This is the storage room with kitchen utensils

Here's a pic of me & some friends who took a pic with Grant's wife

I really don't know what this is, but I took it inside a Blacksmiths' shop

This is also a pic that was taken inside of the Blacksmiths' shop

I could've bought a tiny glass bottle of real gold... but instead I got a harmonica & a Hershey's bar! (Way better right?!)

This is a pic I took of the Mississippi River on the bus

This is the view from a cable car that went up a hill in Wisconsin

All We Wanna Do Is Watch an Amazing VIDEO!

Check out this video my friend Vania & I made for one of my summer reading books. Your gonna LOL!

HA! HA! HA!

That video took us almost two weeks to make. During the process in the making, we were clowning around, messing up, laughing, & taking breaks. I made a script & everything. It was fun making it, because I got to spend time with my friends.

Anyway, school is awesome! I like the teachers, my class mates, & everything!

All I Wanna Do is... Graduate!

Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail"

-Ralph Waldo Emerson-

Hello everyone! Our topic this week is Graduating.

Graduation is the action of achieving or vesting an academic degree. The ceremony that is occasionally associated, where students become graduates. The date of graduation is usually called graduation day.

To me, graduation is a big event in a persons life. Whether you've just graduated from Kindergarten, 5th grade, Jr. High, High School, or College, It's still special. I remember graduating in Kindergarten. We dressed up as pirates and walked the plank,(a balance beam.)

In June this summer, I graduated from 5th grade. We held it at our school in the M.P.R. Everyone was excited & sad at the same time. It was nice to see all of our peers before summer break & Jr. High.

Here is a video of my graduation ceremony at school.

All I Wanna Do is...Act

All I Wanna Do this week is... Act!

With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it's just not acting. It's lying.- Johnny Depp

Hello fellow viewers! This week I'm going to be talking about ACTING!

Acting is the work of an actor or actress, which is a person in plays, T.V., movies, or any other storytelling activity that tells the story by acting out a character, most likely speaking or singing.

I've been in many different plays with different roles.

Here's a (long) list of my favorite actresses and my favorite movies that they play in
