Disneyland, California
October 24, 2008, the night I went to Disneyland. My family and I [my mom, my dad, my brother, and my grandparents] got there right before 9:00. At Disneyland, people were getting ready for the fireworks. A loud speaker announced the fireworks were going of in 15 minutes. We went onto this ride that flew in the air. But 20 minutes later the fireworks hadn't started yet for some reason. Finally it started and my family and I tried to find a good place then after a while we found one. After the fireworks, we went to the "Haunted House". When we got home it was midnight. After a long night I went sleep.

Today at school
Today I got to the door just in time. We went in and got out our instruments and the first thing I did was look at the agenda and music was the first thing in the morning .I got out my homefun [what Mr. Manchester calls homework] and then got my whiteboard and started to do the questions on the board. Then Mr. Manchester told us to go to music.
At music I got out my name tag and my book. The teacher talked to us what to do with these cotton balls we received a long time ago. We also played a song in our book. She then talked to us about our hand positioning.
Then after music we went to science lab and today where learning about seeds. We talked about the parts of a seed [which is the seed coat, the embryo, and the food supply]. Then we got our seeds and measured them. We also got a wet seed and measured that.
After recess we had SSR. I had finished a book so I got a new one. Then we did some pages and corrected our math homefun form last night. I thought it was hard. Then we had language arts and we wrote about a giant ship crashing through a small canal. Then we had lunch. I talked trough the time while we were eating. Then when we went out to play I played tag with some people. Then the bell rang and we went inside. Then we got ready to go home and did our jobs. Then Mr. Manchester told us to go to computer lab. We did our science and math test on the computers. Then after we were down with that we went to freerice.com. Then it was time to go. It was a great day.

Billions
This is too true to be funny.
The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of it's releases.
A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive..
C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, At the rate our government is spending it. While this thought is still fresh in our brain...let's take a look at New Orleans.It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division.
Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D) is presently asking Congress for 250 BILLION DOLLARS to rebuild New Orleans Interesting number...What does it mean?
A.Well.... If you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans(every man, woman, and child),you each get $516,528.
B.
Or... If you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.
C.
Or... If you are a family of four...
Your family gets $2,066,012.
