Book Summary

My class recently read HOLES, written by Louis Sachar. This book got my attention with the friendship between Stanley and Zero. The setting of the book is at Camp Green Lake and in the mountains.

There are many characters in this book but Stanley and Zero are my favorites. Stanley is a friendly kid and likes to make people happy and have fun. Stanley is a middle-schooler that was being picked on because he was overweight. Stanley’s troubles started when a bully threw his book in the toilet. One day he was walking home and a pair of shoes fell from the sky. Stanley ran home, the police saw him and he got arrested for stealing those shoes. That is how Stanley got to the camp where he had to dig holes for his punishment. Zero was also at the camp, but ended up there differently.
Zero is a quiet kid that comes from a homeless family. This led Zero to camp green lake. Everyone thinks he is dumb because he is so quiet, but he is actually very good at math. Zero can’t read or write, but wants to learn. Zero wanted Stanley to teach him how to read and write.

Stanley and Zero became friends at camp green lake. One day Stanley got in trouble and was sent to the Warden’s office, when Stanley returned Zero had dug Stanley’s hole. Thats when Stanley came up with a trade idea. The trade is, Zero digs Stanley’s hole and Stanley teaches Zero how to read.I like both Zero and Stanley but I mostly like Stanley because he's loyal with his friends and family. Zero is a good kid that practices his reading skills at the camp.

I would recommend this book. The friendship in this story is the important part of this book. Friendships will change your lifestyle. This is the friendship you want that was in my summary. You can also help your friend or anyone with their weakness, then that will make your life better.

Brother Battle

How will I ever get use to stop fighting with Jayden and make a plan so we can stop getting into big fights? I thought to myself. We were at my house and we were playing games upstairs.

When our mom and dad came home we ran downstairs.I tried to get to the computer first.Jayden also wanted to get to the computer first.Me and Jayden started to get mad and we started to argue.We whould never stop fighting. We started to set the computer up with our mom and dad.

We started to fix the computer because we saw it was not put together. I wanted to fix the computer because I wanted to play first.I wanted to put the wire in first.Jayden said ”less talking and more working”, because he wanted to play on the computer. I said “ you can play on the Wii. We never stop our fights.

When we got done we were still fighting and our mom and dad said “ lest program the computer first and you can make a plan in the mean”. I said “lest play something together so we can play something together on the computer”. We played the legos together and I came with a plan to play in the theater room. I was the won who played in the theater room. Jayden play the legos and decided to play the  WII.

I decided to go pick up my three year old brother Nykash so I can make a plan. When I got home I played the in the theater room again. I came up With the plan so we can play the computer then fighting alllll day long. I wanted to play on the computer and Jayden wanted to play two, so I came up with the plan to, one plays in the theater and one plays on the computer for one day. I did not like that idea though. I decided to draw because I also come up with a plan.

I decided to draw a pitcher of  me pitching so I can get an idea. The idea that I got was to take turns and we liked that idea and that was the only thing I thought of because we take turns pitching in baseball. When I got upstairs with Jayden I said “ lets take turns on the computer”, Jayden said “ ok”,and  I said you can go first.

THE END!                                             

    

The San Diego landfill

The Landfill

The guest speaker was called by the green team in the 5th grade class and he talk about the landfill. The landfill is where the Trash goes when you throw away trash. They dig up the dirt so they can fill it up with dirt then with seeds then with plants to make even with the land. When the highway changes there are trash under because the concrete will break easily. There is two that we know so far, that is in Mira Mar and next to Balboa park.   

The landfill is in the Blue box in this picture. 
There is the landfill but it will end very bad because people are throwing their recyclables in the trash. There is one tip to tell the differences from trash and recyclables. Trash is wrinkle and recycle is hard plastic and it has to be clean before throwing it in the recycling bin.
This landfill is how it is now and it will get  even more bigger then it is in the first picture.
