Sometimes it's beautiful
 sometimes it gives you a scare
 sometimes you cannot bear
 sometimes you always wish it's there
 sometimes you gotta love something before its not there

The Skin I'm In by Sharon G. Flake


Yesterday I finished a book called The Skin I'm In, by Sharon G. Flake.  The book is about a girl named Maleeka who gets bulled a lot because she is darker than everybody else. She wants to make friends, but its hard for her because she is different. The mean girl in the story is named Charlese.  She uses her a lot. Charlese made it look like Maleeka set the classroom on fire and stole her teacher's gold  watch. 

Last year Maleeka had a good friend named Caleb but on the bus when everyone was making fun of Maleeka, he said "sorry Maleeka" and joined his friends and was saying mean things. Later on in the book Caleb explained why he did that stuff on the bus. He said that if he joined his friends then they would all stop teasing her.  At the end of the book Caleb wrote the sweetest poem to Maleeka and they both were so happy. Charlese got sent away to live with her grandparents since they found out that she was actually the one who burned down the classroom.  

The Skin I'm In is a good book because it talks about bullying. Around the world people get bullied for strange reasons like how Maleeka was being bullied because she didn't look like other people and was darker. Sometimes it's best to just ignore bullies. It's ok to be different because nobody is perfect.  I can relate to Maleeka because I used to get bullied about how I looked. A long time ago at summer camp I could hear people say that I look like a giraffe because I am tall and but I just ignored then like Maleeka does. 

I don't really read 24/7 because I can't find a good and entertaining book to read, but this book was so good that I just sat at the table until I finished it. 


Rollerskating in Riverbank Park
June 27th 2015



Yesterday me and my mom went roller skating.  First we had to wait in line for 30 minutes.  Then we got something to eat.  Next we got back in line.  Then we got our skates and our helmets.  When I was skating I was going so fast.  I was helping 4 or 5 girls.  When my mommy fell down it was so, so, so, so funny.  We laughed so much. On our two breaks I got a soda and Starbursts.  When I took off my skates I hurt my ankle.  When I took off my helmet my hair looked like a hat.  It was raining so, so, so, so much.  Me and mommy were so wet because she didn’t have an umbrella.

Yuzu: Sushi in Harlem
May 23, 2015


Today me and my mom went to get our nails and toes done.  We saw a new restaurant called Yuzu.  It has sushi.  In the inside the walls were yellow and brick. I had a salmon avocado roll.  My mom had a spicy tuna roll and a salmon avocado roll.  I also had miso soup just like my mom. It was so good.  I really liked the green tea, but I really think that it looked kind of reddish.

Title: Pajama Party
Author: Michelle Poploff
Rating: 5 Good Apples

Summary:
Leanne’s birthday was coming up, but everybody had a reason not to come.  One friend caught a cold, one friend hurt her foot, and one friend lost her glasses.  But everyone showed up anyway because her friends wouldn’t miss it for the world.  Boys came to collect newspapers for recycling at their school and then they saw the girls in their pajamas.  Then when it was time for a pancake cake they told the girls that they wouldn’t tell that they saw them in their pajamas if they could share the cake.  I liked Pajama Party.  I thought that it had very good details.  Chloe, Morgan and I are having a sleepover.



Home
April 9, 2015

On Wednesday me and my mom went to the movies.  At the movies me and my mom went to see Home.  It started at 6:30 and ended at 8:13.  The movie was in 3D.  At the movies I got popcorn, soda, chicken fingers, and mozzarella sticks, and me and my mom shared some candy.  The movie was about a girl named Tip who had to find her mother.  Her mother's name was Lucy. An alien named Oh helped Tip find her mother.  So now Tip and Oh are friends.  I think that the movie was so interesting.  I liked that Jennifer Lopez played Tip's mother and Rihanna played Tip.


On Punishment
April 6, 2015

I am being punished because I was talking back to my mom and grandma and being rude.  I am also punished because I wasn't being grateful and I was acting spoiled.  I am also being punished because I was upset and I yelled at my mom.  Well, I didn't yell, I raised my voice.  I am so sorry.  I just get sad or frustrated.  I don't want to raise my voice; I just get mad easily. I am so sorry I did that.  Kids should be nice, good, and grateful.  Kids should listen.  If a kid is upset adults should see what's wrong and then help. 
Girls Night Out
March 21, 2015

Tonight Misa, Morgan, Ms. Mikita, my mom, and I went to Lido.  Misa and I were so loud and Morgan was laughing so hard.  Misa and I were acting so crazy.  After we came out of the restaurant Misa, Morgan, Ms. Mikita, and I went to a cookie store.  When we came out we were walking to Ms. Mikita's car to go home.  When I was about to get in the car Ms. Mikita gave my mom little Girl Scout Cookie boxes for us from Mr. Haji.  When I got home I started to work on this blog.

 

Bus Accident
March 17, 2015

Today my mom came to swimming with my class.  When we were in the school bus we had an accident.  The cops and the ambulance came.  We waited for a long time for the cops.  The cops took a long time.  A cop was so nice.  The cop asked the class if we were ok. I was so hungry, and I had to use the bathroom.  When we got back to school we had snack, reading, and lunch.  After lunch we had work time and we went to dance.



February Birthdays
March 8, 2015

In February it was Pop-Pop and Cuncle's birthday.  My mom, cousins, uncle, aunt, grandma and grandpa and I went to brunch at Tao.  At the restaurant, on the tables they had a big spinning plate.  They put all the food on it so that we could share.  I ate dumplings and a salmon avocado roll.  At the restaurant they had a medium-large fish tank.  Me and my cousins kept going up to the tank.  I was petting a fish; one of the fish sucked my finger.  Christian was screaming so much.  When we got out it was snowing a lot.





Snow Day
January 27, 2015

Today me and my mom went to Central Park.  There was a lot of snow.  There were a lot of snow mountains and snow men.  Everybody else had a snowboard, but I was sliding on my butt. I was so so cold; I got ice in my socks.  When I got home I had to take a bath, but before I took a bath my mom made me a bagel and lox. It was so good and I had hot cocoa. I ate graham crackers in the my bath.

by Chloe Cross

Yesterday me and my mom went to Mr.  Amodeo's house.  I had two cups of Sprite, and I ate shrimp, olives, grapes, and cheese.  The whole time I was watching my shows.  When it was time to leave I was so cray-cray because I drank a lot of soda and I was tired.  I can't wait to go back.

Today is Monday 12-22-14.  We made Gingerbread Houses.  I ate my frosting and the ingredients for the Gingerbread House.  It was so fun.  I got frosting all over my face.  On the Gingerbread House I used: Graham Crackers, candy canes, chocolate kisses, Oreos, sprinkles, marshmallows, and Skittles. Ms. Lisa ate all of my food.
