The Real News 11/3 by Dana Shores

Well, here it is.

shoresd1 — 2021-11-03 20:17:55 UTC

I have heard from several of you that it is difficult to come up with topics for The Real News. I think that you might be trying too hard, to be honest. Here's what I mean:

You can look all around you for inspiration. Inspiration often comes in the tiniest detail that appears to be the most mundane. Take the floor of my house, for example. There are two things I think of first when I think of the flooring. One thing I think of is the fact that I really wanted a gray floor instead of the dark brown floor we have, but my husband insisted on the dark brown and now later regrets it. He is actually hesitant to make any decisions regarding the house any more because he failed on that decision. I could write several paragraphs on his failures, but that's mean. My point is that if I wanted to, the error in flooring choice (or my husband's errors altogether) gives me ideas I could use for The Real News.

The second thing I think of when I look at my floor are the globs of white cat hair that softly bounce across the floor regardless of how frequently it is vacuumed. We have a Siberian cat named Potato, who was chosen and paid for because one of my kids has a cat allergy. The breeder told us that these cats do not shed, but she was wrong. They shed. Actually, they molt. I have had to adapt to accepting that cat hair tumbleweeds will just be churning in the breeze all across the downstairs floor until the end of the cat's life or mine; whichever comes first.
I've written a good amount about my floor. Look around and see what stokes your memories.

While you read, Supercalifragilisticexpealydocious the Cat is going to be bopping to Ed Sheeran the celery and Micheal bublé the family heirloom. Supercalifragilisticexpealydocious Is Bingus cousin.

First, Thank you so much for voting me on inktober! I won and I’m super excited about that. I picked out a crystallized picture thing. Where you stick crystals onto a picture. I picked two cats looking at the moon. Once I finish it I will show it to you guys. Second, ever since November 1 I’ve been ecstatic for Christmas! Yesterday, I wore a Christmas sweater. I’m listening to Christmas music and drinking hot chocolate. We moved into a condo this year with real tall ceilings. So my family and I are gonna pick out a BEANSTALK Christmas tree for my new house. I’m so excited! Third, I’ve been tired recently and drained. Everyday I get homework and I can’t complete it all since I have 3-5 hours of dance. I try really hard but it’s tiring to keep up. Kids in school are jerks too.

Thanks for listening <3

So basically people confuse me sometimes. I feel like this is something that should be shared and I might be overreacting but then again I might not. A little while back I got told that there was this boy that was telling his friends that he liked me for my body. Which honestly made me want to cry, but he’s been trying to apologize about it and tried to change his reasoning, but I don’t know what to say or do because the thought of the situation makes me want to puke.

I also just started playing 3 sports. Volleyball, softball, and basketball. I’m really excited to start playing basketball because I couldn’t play for a year due to COVID. My coach for basketball is really nice too. She used to play collage basketball until she almost died in a car crash. I’m also very excited to be doing volleyball because I love playing volleyball. ( and our amazing teacher is coaching) I’ve been playing softball for a pretty long time but we just finished our fall season which I’m a bit sad about but it’s nice that we won’t have tournaments every weekend.

Hello There

So right now there is a VERY popular game called “Cookie Run Kingdom”, and I recently started playing it. I have no regrets. You basically play as a cookie and build your cookie kingdom, and battle with your cookies to unlock cutscenes and storyline, and improve/level up your kingdom. By progressing through and completing levels you get currency called “Gems”. How original. If you get enough, you can head to the oven and either get the ingredients to make a cookie of your choice when you have them all, or a complete cookie on one of 5 rarities. I am addicted to it, but thank god I will not spend money on it. I see so many thumbnails about people spending thousands of dollars on this game, trying to get one specific cookie and going crazy when they do. I watched one where someone no joke, spent their COLLEGE SAVINGS trying to get a specific cookie! They didn’t go to college after that…

There is one cookie in this game that I have an issue with on a personal level. His name is Red Velvet Cookie, and there is an image of him above. I do not have him, but I want him very bad, unfortunately he is extremely rare. The issue I have with Red Velvet is that I adore him. Yeah, it is as weird as it sounds. I am a big fan of his design, also he is overpowered. So i think I would be considered a “weeb”, and I am okay with that!

Hi my fellow classmates,

It’s nice to see you all again. I was sick this week and I watched a bunch of Disney movies. I missed so much school and am so behind. It’s stressing me out so much. I know that I can be on top of it all, but it's hard. I miss elementary school when my teacher cared about us not turning in, but it didn’t DETERMINE MY WHOLE FUTURE! Now if I don’t turn in my work, my grade goes from A to B. So I’m going to be spending a lot of time after school… plus drama. I hope this won't happen again, because I really don’t want to have to do this again.

I can’t wait to finish my suspenseful story! I love to write so much, and I can’t wait to show everyone! My dream is to be a writer. My favorite genre is fantasy. I love to think of fun fantasy stories, but not the ones you’re thinking of. I like mystery and suspense.

My dad is on a work trip in California this week, so I miss him a bunch, and I envy him. California is my favorite place in the history of the earth. He gets to spend a whole week there, with my favorite cousins and one of my favorite aunts. Last time I went to California my uncle taught me how to surf and I immediately fell in love.

That’s all for today folks,

Here is the real news and here is how I see it: So I had a lot of fun on Halloween. I started that night with my friend Luke Monteccuco coming over with his brother. Before it got dark me my brother and Luke and his brother played basketball. I called it unfair basketball because all of us travelled and double dribbled and trucked the other team. The teams were me and my brother versus Luke and his brother Roman. Nobody kept score of the game so I just said me and my brother won. Then, we started trick or treating. I live right next to Baker Prairie (you can see my house by the entrance of the school) so I went trick or treating near and around timber park. I got a whole gallon bag of candy by doing that because that area barley anyone trick or treats there so they mostly dump hand fulls. Also multiple houses had kinda like a garage party were they watched the World Series and handed out candy at their garage. My friends brother, Roman asked everyone who they were rooting for and they all said the Braves. And sense the street doesn’t go through from SE 10th ave (my street) we just walked across the field back home.

Another thing that is on my mind is math. In my opinion the math curriculum for 7th grade is really boring, but at least I have some friends in that class. Anyway today there was a math assessment, and that was the only thing we did for the entirety of Mrs. Walter’s class. Also nobody finished the test so there will probably be one person that can’t finish it until the end and we will all be waiting for that one person. So math isn’t my most favorite class, but after Mrs. Walters finally graded my homework I now finally have an A- in stead of a very annoying B+ that was an 89.2. Yeah👍👍

So today I am going to right about my dog. His name is Pancho. He is a Aussie-Doodle. He turned 1 in October. He is pretty big but super speedy. During school we don’t crate him so we let him roam about. I personally don’t know why we don’t crate home but whatever. So he stays in house, free to do whatever for 6 or 7 hours. Specifically I don’t know what he does. I do know that he gets on the couch, chew his bone and kinda trash the house. Also he is super food driven. He will probably do anything for food. He will also eat any food.

Second topic. Math. So, I am not a fan of my math class. We had a test today and I don’t really know if I did good or bad. One thing for sure is that my teacher is not that good at explaining math. The teacher is also kinda rude and annoying. I don’t know if the teacher has a different way of teaching math, but it’s hard to understand. So that’s basically it. Oh and in my opinion jpadlet is not the ideal place to type these.

27taikeene — 2021-11-03 22:04:34 UTC

I have floor too and my dad also picked brown but I think the color is fine because it is not really dark brown, and what I do on floor is walk, run, jump, slide, spin, and sit on it.

I also have carpet😱 and I also walk, run, jump, slide, spin, and sit on it. The carpet color is kind of the color of sand and it looks like the sand. My dad said he likes the color but my mom doesn’t and I think she wanted a lighter color like white.

I can’t wait for Christmas!

27nataldunba — 2021-11-03 22:18:06 UTC

Welcome back to the real news with Natalee! I seriously can’t wait for Christmas! I have been listening to Christmas music since like half way through august. I love Christmas and my favorite part is making sugar cookies with my mom and setting up the tree(I also love the presents!). Besides presents decorating for Christmas and hanging out with my family is my favorite part.

My other topic is thanksgiving! My favorite part of thanksgiving is being with my family and me and my mom like to make pomegranate salad. If you have not tried it, you need to try it. I don’t know how to make it so my mom helps but it is so good. I like the potatoes and turkey too. I am super excited for thanksgiving break coming up soon-ish! It means getting to sleep in, not worry about school, and best of all no homework!!!! That is all for today but be sure to give a like and comment.✌️😁

The real news and how I see it is every morning on my way to school, me, my mother, and the kids we carpool with, listen to the radio station 107.5. We all love to laugh at it because every morning they do a prank phone call to a random person and it’s really funny. After the prank phone calls, they do a segment where they try to help people find out if their significant other is cheating on them👀. Listening to this station is one of the best parts of my day and I am always looking forward to it.

The real news and how I see it is that I HATE politics. I get that voting makes a big decision and people gave their life so that we could vote but it’s really boring to me. Although it would be fun to live in the White House but that’s not the point. I also hate that people are like “oh your a Trump/Biden fan? We can’t be friends.” Just because someone is or isn’t a fan of someone. It is very annoying that people are so rude about it. Another reason why I HATE politics is the fact that THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A FEMALE PRESIDENT!?!? It makes me so angry that women haven’t done anything about this yet. Hillary was so close but nope.

Whenever I look at my wonderful wooden floor I remember the wonderful embrace of splinters. Let me explain; our floor was not always this glorious gray wooden looking stuff that may be wood. Now, our floor used to be carpet, a nice brownish grayish carpet now this carpet used to be a pure pearly white but it got to be a brownish grayish color and that’s when we decided to replace it. So we went to the store, picture this; four Berthrong’ in the same place, it was a recipe for disaster but luckily the recipe (as it often is) was messed up and no disaster came of it. So anyways we looked at some different wood and I decided to steal (not actually it was free… I think) six little wooden squares to make a tiny floor in my room. (Idk why don’t ask) and finally we decided on some wood. And then we went home with some and I think we waited for more to arrive at the store.

So when the wood finally came we got some more and started the job. This is where the embrace of splinters come into play. We started to tear up the carpet with a nice crowbar and afterward we replaced it with the stuff that looks like wood and might be. So yeah whenever I look at my floor that’s what I think of also yeet.

So, Mrs. Shores told us to think about our houses. The first thing I think of when you mention floors is MESS. In every room in our house has a mess. But like um my room is like totally clean…heh heh. Anyway, when I think of my house I think about my snail. My snail is named Turtle. My snail is cute. My snail, yeah… anyway, I have a turtle statue in my fish tank and I named him snail! “Isn’t that just the cleverest idea!?!” Those were Mr. Harm’s words exactly when he was telling us that he made all his Google Classroom Classes rainbow frogs! 😋 If you are in 4th period Science you would know what I’m talking about. I also made a song about Turtle! If you’re singing it in your head, sing it to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Turtle, Turtle, how are you?
You’re so cute and I love you
Inching up the walls with glee
When I sleep you watch me
Even though it’s fairly creepy
I still love you even if you’re freaky!

Next! Halloween! As you all know Halloween is over! I love candy! Sorry, back to the topic, I dressed up as Audrey Hepburn for the football game and I dressed up as her for trick-or-treating! (She was a British actress and one of the movies she made was Breakfast at Tiffany’s.) While my siblings, my mom, and I went out to trick-or-treat, my dad stayed home and handed out candies. One year for his birthday, we got him the farting game thing. (Worst mistake we’ve ever made.) Anyways, every time someone comes to our door, he pushes it and all I’m going to say is that it’s kind of embarrassing when someone you know opens the door…😏
Now I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving! Pie, mashed potato’s, pie, rolls, pie, turkey! PIE!! I mostly like baking the pie, but still, PIE! What are your guys favorite kinds of pie? Thats all for now! Hope y’all enjoyed!!
P.S. Turtle says bye!!!

Ok so I was thinking about what Mrs. shores said and I was like I never have anything run around and take me forever to come up with an idea. OK first so I’m just kind of like having a flashback here really just hate it when Padlet doesn’t show you what you’re writing it annoys me so much.

OK so I was in about how as a kid I used to have stuffed animals and I was thinking that didn’t everyone throw the stuffed animals with the hard like plastic eyes off their bed because they were like hard. And I don’t wanna sleep with that. So that’s one idea.

The other one is that does everyone ever get déjà vu. Like you know when you have a dream about some thing and then like you’re doing what you were doing in your dream. I feel like you like I know this and it’s like familiar. I was thinking about that the other day.

OK so is anyone else nervous for the paragraph. I don’t know why but like the narrative paragraph in like an unreliable narrator i’ve never written with those aspects of writing. So like I’m kind of wondering how it’s gonna work and I’m just going to suddenly change my idea.

I really hope these aren’t puny paragraphs I wanna get a bad grade per having just a couple puny paragraphs. An And you know on the other ones I’m like top 10 things but I don’t have time for a top 10 things today cause I’m busy. S So I think probably a lot of you were busy but you know it’s real news to be complaining here.

Wuddup yo! Welcome back to the 6th week of The Lowdown With Larry! I’m your host Andrew and today we’re going to be doing something different! *everyone gasps* We…will…be…talking about weather first! Also we will discuss the new “tardy policy”.
First off, as promised, the weather. The current forecast is showing lots of rain with some high winds on Thursday. We may get some sunny patches but mostly…rain.
Finally, the topic of Tardies. I get that the system works and that they’ve used it in the past but it seems like if the line is super long (and if you have to drop off an instrument), then it kinda feels like they are setting us up for failure. *whew* Anyways, as always thanks for reading The Lowdown With Larry and punch the heart!😳🐐

27autumhesse — 2021-11-04 00:44:54 UTC

Today, I am going to talk about two topics. The first one is elephants. Elephant help us. More than you think they do. They help by planting trees and fight climate change. Due to the fact that they roam such great distances, they distribute the seeds from trees. Another thing they do for us is they attract tourists. I know it might not be a big help, but if you wanted to go to Africa, I would definitely want to see some big elephants.

My next topic is grapes. Grapes were brought over from Spain. Grapes can come in many different colors. Including green, re, black, yellow, pink, and purple. You may think there is another color. White. Well, “White grapes are actually green grapes. You may already know this, but grapes are a type of berry. They have a leathery covering and a fleshy inside. The inside is similar to a blueberry.

That’s it for this week! See you next time!

in my house we also get lots of tumbleweeds. I have two cats and two dogs and they all shed A LOT. sometimes we call them bunnies because bunnies are like clumps of hair but disguised as and animal. I find lots of them behind my door in my room. I'm not sure how they get there but it just builds up and it's super gross.

my Halloween was also very bad. I went to my cousin's and it was just awful. it was fun when Tim got there and I had someone else to hang out with. pretty much all we did was play a little game and just hung out in a back room. but after that it was AWFUL. I stayed crying (not telling you why) and so Jason (very nice and wonderful adult) drove us back to my house and I felt soooo much better. after a couple minutes of chilling on the couch I somehow "broke" the tv and then all seven of the kids moved into my room. of course there want enough room for everyone to sleep in there so me, Tim, and Silas slept on the floor. it was VERY hard and NOT enjoyable.

27nathasimni — 2021-11-04 02:17:53 UTC

Well, here we are. It’s the week after Halloween, and people are already talking about Christmas, at least wait till it’s closer to December, we’re still more than a month away! But anyways, here are our to segments: math, and everyone’s favorite summer clothing, shorts.

First, there is math. In math class, the homework has been pretty simple, and not to long (not that I’m complaining) but it seems kinda slow now. I don’t know about your guys classes, but I feel that the homework slowing down is at a very strange point. We just had an assessment, so why give us less homework? Don’t you want to give us more so we will be prepared? It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, but I guess it doesn’t really matter.

Then, there is the matter of shorts. I don’t know exactly what is going on in Canby, but from what it sounds like, there is a lot of rain. Even though the rain and cold weather is going to be significantly increasing, people still wear shorts, which I don’t get. Even just wearing a jacket on top, they’re still wearing shorts. It’s a little strange, but in a way, I also get why they’re doing it. It does once and a while get really warm after school, so it also makes sense. I still think wearing shorts on the rain is weird though- I saw someone wearing shorts in winter, standing in the middle of snow! They had a tee-shirt on too!

Hope you guys liked this! I’m currently gone, so I don’t know a lot of the things going on around the school. I’ll be back next week though! See you guys then!

As of right now it is November 3, we still have about a month and a half till Christmas. But this does not stop my mom and I from begging to put up our Christmas tree and decorations. My mom is even to the point where we listen to Christmas music everywhere we go, even if it is just a trip to the post office. I mean I don’t blame her, Christmas is a great holiday. But no, once Halloween is over all the Halloween decorations must be gone, out of her sight.
At this point it has rubbed of onto me. We have a fake tree because my parents could never decide on one. One would either want the fat one or the skinny and tall one, one time we got a tree that was way to tall for out living room. That’s when my mom started searching for a fake tree because it was just simply to hard for us. But we can’t put the tree up on our own because she is short and I am just the moral support, so we need my dad, but he has a different take, the tree should go up around December tenth. Just no.

27miamille — 2021-11-04 04:25:21 UTC

First things first this weekend was very eventful. I had a friends birthday party then I went to the football game but after the football game I went back to the birthday party. After the birthday party (it ended at 10) me and a few others stayed after and did karaoke until 11. On Saturday I went to my friends, little sisters basketball game and then went to target with my sister. On me and me sisters way back from target my sister was driving and she got lost and we ended up getting lost and she somehow went through West Linn to get home from the target in Wilsonville. Then on Sunday I spent the entire day with a friend and then we went trick or treating with a pretty big group of friends. After we were done trick or treating the same people that did karaoke at my friends birthday party on Friday night went and did karaoke again.

Now I’m going to talk about Christmas. I love Christmas and I alway beg my mom to decorate before thanksgiving because I hate only having Christmas decorations up for like a month or less. But my mom thinks its weird to decorate before thanksgiving but this year I think I might have convinced her to decorate before thanksgiving. But who knows if she just lied tome to make me stop bothering her about it. But i have already started listening to Christmas music and this weekend I’m going to try to get my room clean so I can decorate my room for Christmas. (If you couldn’t tell I really need the Christmas spirit in my life currently)

Hey kids, I was thinking about what Mrs.Shores said about thinking of topics to write on, and I have a quick tip for you all. Write about something you despise. Works every time. I, personally, have burning hatred for many things, so it’s pretty easy. I can go on for literal hours about things I hate. If you’re ever stuck I’d recommend it. Anyways, I was sitting at my desk playing Minecraft, and then I look down and see that one of my nails (FAKE, THE BLACK THINGS ARE NOT REAL THEY ARE ACRYLICS, MY REAL NAILS ARE FINE) casually snapped off my finger without me noticing and disappeared into the abyss. One broke off yesterday and I was able to hide it (and protect my nail cause it hurts right now) with a bandaid, but two bandaids is a lot harder to pull off. I’m not the happiest about it, even though sometimes I do wish I just had normal nails. The thing is, I’m so used to seeing myself with black nails, that whenever one breaks off or I have to remove it I feel like am entirely different person. Don’t be surprised if my hands are taped up tomorrow. Another thing is my hair. It’s gotten to a pale ugly purple and I’m really picky about it, so I’ll probably redye it either tonight or tomorrow night. And no, I don’t dye it every day, I’m proud to say I haven’t dyed it myself in a full month (I think). I did dye my grandma’s hair though, and she looks incredibly swaggy. I’ll probably make it magenta if I did, I get so annoyed with the color- I’m getting less bothered by it lately though. My hair is healthy, I don’t fry it with dye, I’m very careful with what I use and I take care of it so you (mother) have nothing to yell at me for.

Lastly, a few updates on my very eventful and interesting life. The play. It’s going pretty well, we ran through almost the whole thing today and everyone did alright. I have some really awesome friends there that make it fun. The thing is our showings are in almost exactly a month, which really is not a lot of time at all. I don’t have nearly as many lines as other people (I have 33) but they’re still difficult to memorize. Band, on the other hand, is not going well. I played pretty good at the concert but now it seems I’ve forgotten how to play entirely. I’m kind’ve getting back into it but for a few days I was really struggling to play at all. My classes are not going well. Like, I’m passing, but I have no drive to do any work or even be at school. They’re so so boring, and I’m just so used to them at this point that nothing interesting ever happens. To sum it up, I have absolutely no motivation in anything right now but that doesn’t mean I have any less hatred. Ed Sheeran bad, bingus good, goodnight.

27addilmckea — 2021-11-04 13:57:34 UTC

So basically right now it has been a very hard week to try and get up on time to leave for school. I just don’t want to get up. My dad also has to go to work early, so we have to leave earlier which doesn’t help. I have also been so tired and my first period is PE so sometimes it is hard to be awake for that.

It’s also Christmas time in my opinion. But my family doesn’t like to decorate until after thanksgiving, then what’s the point. I am going to try to start decorating this weekend. I also have another performance this weekend. Also I’m getting pretty close to finishing Lexie.

27lukewinni — 2021-11-04 14:43:59 UTC

The real news as I see it is that the nachos how’ve been pretty cheesy recently. Just like that joke. With all jokes aside, am I the only one who feels like there has been way less kids here than last week. It feels kind of weird.
Also, Halloween was a fail here. On Friday the high school had way more fun then we did. Like Middle school feels especially strict compared to the other schools in the district. I respect Mrs. Turner, but maybe she could tone it down a bit and realize we are kids who want to have fun. But I really don’t care. I just want good grades.

27giovasanch — 2021-11-04 15:01:41 UTC

Hello to day I will talk about two things Christmas and School first let’s talk about Christmas I can wait and I am really excited for it to be Christmas. I love Christmas and it’s my favorite holiday. I love so much because we get to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ it is not just all about presents or building ginger bread house we have to remember why Christmas is so important. Finally one of are traditions we do is go to church and then eat tamales and champurado after.

Second I will talk about school. I think we should get a little more time to sleep specially on Monday. So far my grades are on point and since I joined the soccer program here at the school I have to have good grades so I can play. I love all my class and the way they are organized the only thing I would change is changing me to the second lunch because all my friends are there

My favorite subject(s)

27lukeschre — 2021-11-04 19:01:11 UTC

I don’t know about you guys, but my favorite periods have to be either 4th or 7th period. During 4th period it’s nice because I get to hang out with a lot of my friends. I like 7th period because I get to hang out with a lot of the same people. The only difference is the teachers, who are both amazing, and the stupid-o-meter. If you’re wondering what the stupid-o-meter is, it’s a meter that shows my stupidness. In 4th period it’s like a quarter full, and in ELA it’s like three quarters full. Yes I know it sounds like an excuse but it’s true.

I have a joke about chemistry, but I don't think it will get a reaction. What concert costs just 45 cents? 50 Cent featuring Nickelback! What does a bee use to brush its hair? A honeycomb! Now let’s talk real. Like the real news. Who else doesn’t like the real news? I’m going to put a poll link in the comments.

Rachelle Gensman

27rachegensm — 2021-11-04 19:37:59 UTC

I had a tough decision wether to write about my friend Natalia or the map of United States in my humanities class. After 30 seconds of deciding I decided to write about Natalia. While I was writing this Natalia was listening to music on YouTube called ‘for the first time’ which was 3:02 minutes long. “Oh my god I love this song” said Natalia. This song Natalia was listening to has a yellow thumbnail with lots of little designs in a square shaped form. “Mr Jaime Vega Gomez” said Natalia while raising her hand, only a few seconds later Natalia says “oh my god he ignored me”. I need to also say something about Natalia’s earrings, Natalia loves her earrings. Her earrings are butterfly’s with a short silver chain connecting to them. She says they are new, so they are new. And again, Natalia has now started listening to another song on YouTube, I am not going to bother reading the title because if I explain why I’m not then I will write more words and when I write more words that will make the paragraph look longer, whereas if I wrote just the title of the song the sentence would’ve ended already.

I Will now write about someone named Ximena. I am writing about Ximena because Natalia told me to, and because I agreed. Ximena is also wearing earrings, don’t tell Natalia this but Ximenas earrings are cooler. It is a moon with three short silver chains connecting to make 3 smaller moons, including green a star next to the biggest moon. Ximena says ‘what’ a lot. Especially when I asked her what I should add. While I write this Ximena is working on her project for this class for her essay. She said that she didn’t like her original idea and wanted to restart, I said “ok”. Ximena has a lot of attitude, and attitude and confusion doesn’t mix well when someone asks you for help on what they should add to their paragraph.

Hello everyone! Welcome back to the weekly news with Emma. The first thing we will be talking about today is Thanksgiving. It’s the best! Of course the food is always AMAZING! This is incredibly random, but does anyone here know someone in their family or that they know that says “churkey”? Not turkey, but “churkey” For example, my brother used to always say “churkey” even though he could say “turkey” and it drove me insane! Why? I have no idea! 😂

My second subject is Christmas!!! I know it’s not really that close, but still! I can’t wait! I’m I the only person that gets their dog Christmas presents? Well anyway my dog, Daisy, loves bags! Any time my mom bring groceries home Daisy has to stick her head in the bag. On Christmas morning when my brother and I are opening presents, Daisy loves to stick her head in the bags.
Thanks for reading! See you next week!

First of all I’m really excited for Christmas! It’s probably my favorite holiday. And for the people who say that we shouldn’t celebrate Christmas this early and what about thanksgiving we can celebrate Christmas the whole month and then just celebrate thanksgiving for one or two days.

The second thing I’m writing about is me talking about another holiday that I love: Halloween! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because you get free candy. This year I wasn’t going to go trick or treating but I ended up going last minute. I got a whole bunch of candy but some of the candy ended up being some of the bad candy like tootsie rolls and I don’t know what to do with them.

Everyone is talking about their floor so I thought I should talk about my ceiling. Every time I look up I see my ceiling it’s the only thing keeping my neighbors from falling into my room. I really like looking at the ceiling because there are nice bumps that make cool shapes.
Last night I was staring at the ceiling and I saw a cool shape. It reminded me of Dora. I also noticed another shape that looks like Grogu. I really like my ceiling.
Also I think the ceiling is just the opposite of the floor

The. Lunch. Tables. Need. To. Change. THEY ARE LITERALLY MAKING IT SO WE ARE CLOSER TOGETHER THAN BEFORE! YOU AREN’T FIXING THE PROBLEM SCHOOL. IF YOU ARE GONNA CHANGE THE TABLES, MAKE THEM FARTHER APART NOT CLOSER. Table rant now over. Holiday rant now beginning . There are too many meaningless holidays that just fill up the underused months. Like what is the point. Holiday rant now over.
I have dogs and a cat and they are nice the end.

Here is the real news as I see it by Sasha Griffin

My family bought a house that has 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms over the summer. We moved in about 4 months ago, so it wasn’t that long ago. Anyways, my mom didn’t like our bathroom ( nobody did ) so the good news was that my dad has a friend that does renovations and so about 6 weeks ago he started to work on our bathrooms. But the bad news was that me, my sister, my mom, and my very busy dad had to share a one bathroom. It was HECTIC. But thankfully, two days ago we got the green light, saying it was okay to use our bathrooms again and they look AMAZING. So I’ve learn that I will never take the bathrooms we have, for granted.

It feels like school is just becoming a unsafe environment. I have been hearing derogatory words being thrown around the place like leaves falling off a tree. It hasn’t happen to me, but I’ve been hearing it been happening to my close classmates and friends. People think this is funny, IT ISN’T. We are 7th and 8th graders, we shouldn’t been allowed or even accessed to this type of behavior. This is affecting everybody and even the people who are doing it, so stop, and I’m not asking, I’m demanding.

Hello and welcome back to the real news. Can you guess what Alyssa is complaining about this week? If you guessed cool math games, you're right! As you all know, Cool Math Games is sadly banned. So now every moment in school is a bit more boring. Alyssa has tried to log in to Cool Math Games four times today already. I know that some kids were playing Cool Math Games instead of listening to their teachers. But it is so annoying when after a long test she tries to play Bloxorz and she CAN'T! Yes she knows other games exist but there will never be a replacement for Bloxorz. Alyssa states “half my elementary school memories are of Cool Math Games, and they took it away from me!”

Before you go we have a new segment, it’s called “Where's my cat?” In this segment we will talk about Alyssa's cat who decided to get stuck in her mom's car. How did she do this? Well she somehow snuck into the garage well Alyssa was unloading groceries. She then got into the car all without Alyssa noticing. Then Alyssa left with the door closed behind her and her cat was stuck. Like a half an hour later her brother went to get his backpack and found the cat. She was in the driver's seat standing up on her back legs attacking the seat belt. That’s all for this week. Always remember the next time you can’t find your cat check your car. You may find your cat attacking a seatbelt.
