This is my poetry I made it has 11. I hope you like the poets I made! In the beginning, I did not have a lot of ideas. Near the end, I learned a lot more.

Make sure to comment on what was your favorite poetry.

Do you enjoy reading books that will take your imagination far? Then you will enjoy reading Chris Van Allsburg's books. His books have major details that will pull you into the story completely.

My first reason is the illustrations. Like in the pictures are realistic, but also look old fashion. In one of his books, Widow's Broom, Abdul Gasazi, there was a path to the Garden of Abdul Gasazi and I felt like it was inviting me into the path.

My final reason is what I think separates him from other writers is the variety is mixed; he uses old times cartoony and even the western days! For example, in Two Bad Ants, he draws it as if you are an ant. In another book, Bad Day at Riverbend , he draws it like a child's drawing because there are scribbles all over the characters. In the beginning, it makes no sense because the reader thinks the book was damaged by a little kid. In the end, the kid was a character in the book.

Personally, when I read a book, I like to be drawn into the story and Chris Van Allsburg knows exactly how to do that! All in all, I think Chris Van Allsburg is an amazing illustrator throughout all the books I read!

Check out the 12 essentials that I use during this time in the text below.
During this remote learning time, I work at my desk. I have a pencil box, books, and my schedule. I also have my Acer and back up computer. I do homework on it as well as blogging!

It is Earth Day! Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 on Wednesday.

On this day, I help the environment by using less water, electricity, and I reuse items like a plastic water bottle. I also saved paper by using the other side of it. You should always do those things but especially on Earth Day. For instance, I used the white side of wrapping paper to make a poster about the ocean habitat. I also use shoe boxes for storage.

In class, we have been exploring Chris Van Allsburg picture books. In my opinion, he's the best. Read to find out why!

How many Chris Van Allsburg books have you read? I know I have read a lot. He has won awards for his books including the Caldecott Award. Chris Van Allsburg is one of the best picture book writers.

One reason I like his picture books is because of his amazing illustrations. He makes the pictures in his books look like they are moving. For example, in the Widow's Broom he made the chicken food in the pictures look like they were flying away. This helps the reader visualize what they are reading.

Another reason Van Allsburg is one of the best picture book writers is that he writes books from the point of view of the characters. For instance, in Two Bad Ants the story is told from the point of view from the ants. This allows us to understand the point of view from an ant's perspective.

The last reason he is one of the best picture book writers is that he has great plot twists in his stories. For example, in the Garden of Abdul Gasizi he says he turns Fritz into a duck, which he really doesn't. Also, in Bad Day at Riverbend the setting turns out to be a kids coloring book. This was a surprise to me as a reader.

In conclusion, Chris Van Allsburg is one of the best picture book writers. His amazing illustrations, writing from the point of view of the characters and many plot twists in his books all show us why he is one of the best picture book writers in the world.

I sorted some common and proper nouns in a chart. A proper noun is a noun that is specific. For example, if I said store, that is a common noun. If I said Target that is a proper noun. Proper nouns are capitalized.

Dear bloggers,

We all need to help our planet and keep it clean.

I'm going to share how we can keep our planet clean. I'm going to throw my trash in a nearby trash can. I won't use plastic straws, which may end up in the ocean for turtles to choke on. I'll be careful not to waste paper so we don't have to cut down so many trees. Trees also help us breathe because they make the oxygen that we breathe in and take in the carbon dioxide that we breathe out. I'll plant more plants to make our planet even more beautiful.

This is a picture of the sun shining through the trees when we were in Hawaii last year.

Now..... What are YOU going to do to keep our planet clean?

Happy Blogging!

Quarantoga is yoga during quarantine. I made that word up!

My mom does a lot of yoga. She always wants my brothers and me to try it, but we never really want to. Since we're stuck at home right now, she can't go either. However, the studio she goes to is doing yoga classes on Zoom. How cool is that?

My mom asked one of her teachers to come up with a class for kids and teens. My brothers and I started last Thursday. It was tough at first, but we got the hang of it. In fact, we're going to do it every Tuesday and Thursday.

Yoga is really good for your body. It's especially good for kids these days. Yoga helps reduce stress and teaches you how to take deep breaths. Yoga also helps me relax and makes me more flexible. My favorite yoga pose is "wheel."

Have you ever done yoga? What is your favorite pose?

Namaste!

This is my crazy canine, Scout. When we got him, he was 10 weeks old. He came home with us on February 28, 2019. He was a birthday present for my brothers. We rescued him from a shelter. Scout is a mix between a beagle and a chihuahua. It's called a cheagle.

Below is a really funny video taken when we brought him home. We were trying to keep in in a pen while we at dinner. I still laugh hysterically every time I watch this video.

Do you have any pets?

If so, do they do funny things like Scout?

The 2020 NFL Draft has come and gone with some lesser known names-often from smaller schools-picked in the last couple of rounds. Every year, several late-round gems excel in the NFL: Tom Brady was a 6th round pick (199 overall). Antonio Brown was also a 6th round pick (195 overall). And Julian Edelman went in the 7th round (232 overall). Who will be the steals of this year's draft class? Here's my top five hidden gems in the 2020 NFL Draft:

RB Deejay Dallas- Seahawks, Pick 144

Deejay Dallas was actually drafted earlier than expected when he went in the fourth round. Dallas is a 5' 10" 214 lb. running back who played quarterback in high school and wide receiver when he first arrived in Miami. He runs strong with a want and willingness to explode into contact. His experience as a wide receiver is shown by his extremely fast feet and cuts, impressive for his weight, and by his pass-catching. It takes a strong tackle attempt to bring him down. He is willing to block, and he has solid technique to deter a defender. He has to develop more patience, waiting and anticipating while behind the line of scrimmage. Dallas has quick feet, but he needs to use them to beat defenders and help him create more opportunities to move beyond the second level. Dallas also needs to work on his blitz recognition skills in the pass protection game. His inexperience at the running back position suggests room to grow.

WR Darnell Mooney-Bears, Pick 173

Mooney is a 5' 11" 175 lb. wide receiver who ran a 4.38 40-yard dash. He is extremely explosive and dynamic off of cuts, accelerating with great speed. Nobody was able to separate as quickly as Mooney at Tulane last year. He uses a wide variety of moves to escape press coverage. He was often forced to make catches in traffic in college, and it was not an issue for him. He makes up for his size with his ability to beat a defender to the ball in the air. While he does not back down from contact, his size does let him be pushed off-course. The same goes for blocking: He gives great effort, but defensive backs do not seem to be affected. He could also work on making his inward cutting routes sharper, as he sometimes rounded them off.

WR Quez Watkins-Eagles, Pick 200

Quez Watkins is the biggest steal of the draft. He is taller than the average receiver at 6'2". At the combine, he ran the second-fastest 40 yard dash, with a 4.35 time. The combine includes only the best receivers in the nation, and Quez Watkins finished in the top half of every single event. Watkins is nearly impossible to contain once the ball is in his hands, which is reflected in his 18.4 yards per catch last season at Southern Miss. Throughout the season he looked electric, but perhaps most exciting is his progression from year-to-year in college. During his sophomore year, he improved greatly, tripling his freshman stats. Then, in his third year, he improved again, racking up 289 yards more than the year before. He is bound to improve even further in the NFL. He is not without weakness, though: Hopefully Watkins can improve on his balance through contact to continue plays even farther. Watkins struggled a bit with press coverage in college and needs to learn to use his hands to his advantage.

WR James Proche-Ravens, Pick 201

Proche is a 5'11" 196 lb. receiver who had strong pre-draft hype. Proche is leads primarily by his outstanding hands, maybe the best in the draft class. He can reach out and catch seemingly impossible catches while under pressure. Proche has quick, nifty footwork when the ball is in his hands. He is also a strong blocker, catching guys off-guard because of his size. It seems like nothing changes when the ball is thrown to him in traffic, as he is very comfortable there. He does have some work to do though to ensure success at the next level. Proche definitely needs to work on his route-running. He cannot battle in press coverage, which must be improved at the next level. Proche can lose catches to tall corners because of his small arm length and height.

WR Chris Rowland-Falcons, UDFA

Rowland's biggest issue is his size at 5' 8" and 180 lbs. But this did not stop him at Tennessee State. Rowland looks great on film, and his stats are mind-boggling, even for FCS play. Rowland only played 11 games in 2019, but had 104 receptions, 1,437 receiving yards, and eight receiving touchdowns. He did more than excel at receiving, returning both kicks and punts. Rowland had 14 punt returns for 166 yards and 15 kick returns for 375 yards, plus a touchdown. His return game will allow him to stick on an NFL roster and get the opportunities to prove himself on offense. Rowland partially makes up for his lack of size through his superb route running. He does need to work on extending his catch radius outside of his frame, especially given his size.

Last year, my class had spiny leaf insects to look after which was cool, but this year, we have a central bearded dragon which is even cooler.

Here are five interesting facts about them:

1. These cute little lizards can grow up to 60 cm long, half of which is their tail. They look scary, but they are actually quite calm and friendly.

2. Central bearded dragons are omnivores, mainly eating fruit, leaves, ants and other insects.

3. They are excellent climbers and will often climb trees and fences to help them bask in the sun and keep an eye out for predators, food or potential mates.

4. They have spikes around their throat that they push out when they feel threatened, making the beard that gives them their name. They also inflate their body with air to make themselves look bigger.

5. Central bearded dragons are found in the very dry areas of central Australia where they are a common sight.

I hope that you found these facts interesting and learned something new.

Are there any other interesting facts that you would like to share about central bearded dragons?
