4-5-10 cool cats reflection i think that what they tried to explain is that jazz is the kind of music that gives a certain felling such as slow music gives a sad, lonely feeling and fast energetic music gives a happy feeling.

4-29-10 Poems my favortie poem was The Sloth. I liked the poem becuase it expressed how slow a sloth is, but POEM was cofusing how it talked about it raining and snowing.

5-5-10 Remington Frederic Remington was born in Oct.4, 1861 and died at 48 years of age on Dec.26, 1909 from an appendectomy. His birth place was Canton, New York. His father served in the first year of the Civil War. He showed more interest in art than military exercises at an early age. After school he went to Yale in New York City to study art. After his studies he went on as an illustrator for magazines which gave him the chance to explore the West. He was fascinated with the frontier and it's people which was a frequent subject in his paintings. Soon remington began painting in oils and water colors all the time. Later he went on to live in New Rochelle in Connecticut but continued to travel the Western frontier. Remington was also a sculptor. He often made horses and riders using the lost-cast waxing method to make bronze statues. Megan Evans p8 5/20/10

. One incident that shows what my friends and I are like is when I was at my friend Kaitlyn’s house with Jess.

We were all running from Jess. Kaitlyn and I ran up and down the slide in her back yard. I jumped on a swing to fly away. It worked. Oh no! The plane is crashing! I flew off the swing and on to the ground. Jess was on my tail. I had to do something quick. Both Kaitlyn and I jumped into her golf cart.

“Come on Kaitlyn, let’s go” We pretended to start the engine of the golf cart. Oh no! Jess was to fast. She landed on the end of the golf cart. I swerved out of control. I pounced in to the passenger seat while Jess prowled in to the driver’s seat taking the wheel (remember this is still pretend).

All of the sudden Jess accidentally turned the key of the golf cart while she was pushing on the pedal. Next we knew we were zooming straight forward into the garage! BAM! We knew what had to do then. We darted out of the cart and ran on the concrete (never run from trouble when you are wearing flip flops!). As I was running I suddenly tripped and fell forward. I scrapped my hand, elbows, and knees. We told Kaitlyn’s mom everything an she said to me “Megan, why did you run in the first place if you didn’t do anything wrong?” I ran and got hurt for nothing!

In the end no one got in trouble, but this shows that my friends and I are very rambunctious and are always getting in to trouble!

I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly

I know an old lady who swallowed a cow, Don't ask how she swallowed a cow. She swallowed the cow to catch the goat, Popped open her throat and swallowed the goat. She swallowed the goat to catch the dog, Oh, what a hog to swallow a dog! She swallowed the dog to catch the cat, Think of that, she swallowed a cat! She swallowed the cat to catch the bird, How absurd to swallow a bird! She swallowed the bird to catch the spider, That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her. She swallowed the spider to catch the fly, I don't know why she swallowed the fly, Perhaps she'll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a horse, She died, of course!

6th grade timed writing 6/21

Welcome to middle school! MMS is the best middle school ever. You will go on exciting class trips like Nature's Classroom and the Museum of Science. Here are some cool tips on how to stay on top.

My biggest fears in the beginning of the year were.... detention, homework, and most of all my grades. I was afraid of detention because I didn't know what i would get in trouble for or if I would happen if I did get in trouble. Another thing I worried about were my grades because I was scared if I wouldn't do a lot and my grades would drop. one more thing i was nervous about was homework. I dreaded how long it would take and hard it would be.

But there was good things too. Like the stuff I looked forward to. I was so happy that I didn't have to be walked around like a dog in the hallways. I was also excited for making new friends. It was fun to meet new people that have so much in common with me. And especially the lockers. I'm not quite sure what I really liked about them but I just think they are fun.

There will be no worrying of grades, homework, or detention if you are sure to listen and pay attention in class. Always participate and be well behaved to be on task.

Please take my advice and the sixth grade year will be a blast for you! Be sure to make plenty of new friends as well.
