9/30/09 I think the Wolfhounds wiki is pretty cool. Mr.Keefer told us about it today.

When we went to Max and Erma's my Grandpa told me some guy traded something that he didn't want/need like a fork and kept trading until he traded for a house. I want to trade a new Tech Deck for something. Anyone want to trade?

I am going to my soccer game tonight. We are going to play the Crush. I think we will "CRUSH" them!

I just got home from my soccer game at 8:10. We didn't exactly "CRUSH" the Crush we tied 2 to 2. My friend Angel scored the last goal to tie it up in the last 5 minutes. It was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10/6/09 We were supposed to play the Lightning in soccer yesterday but they "chickened out" because when we played them before we schooled them 6 to zip.I was so bummed that we didn't get to play them again. They weren't easy but they weren't hard.

10/14/09 I found this cool game on cool math it's called Meblings. All you do is click a little guy and they do different things.

Mr.K is sick so we have a sub.

=Poems By Alec= __Quotation Marks__ They look like water droplets running down the car window, they come out of your mouth like spitting out apple seeds and your friend eating them through their ears.

__Quotation Marks__ They come out of your mouth like apple seeds and look like blood droplets from a kids nosebleed. Almost like juice running down a baby's cheek just like two dead fish in a creek. Man they stink no they REEK!!!!!!!!

Alec, I love the idea of a poem about quotation marks. Your image of "water droplets running down" is great. Also good use of a simile. One idea to consider is maybe either extending this to make it a little longer or trying to keep the same ideas but write it like a Shel Silverstein poem since he is your mentor. -Mr. K.

Thank's Mr.K.! I think I will try rewriting it to make it like a Shel Silverstein poem -Alec

__Cool Fool__ If you think you are so cool you are definitely a fool.

You eat cauliflower I eat broccoli.

You are lagin behind that dragon I am ahead of him instead. Whoops I tripped.

__Soccer Ball__ Black and white flying through the air GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

__Baseball__ It's wounded Go to the hospital It's got red stitches.

__Baseball__ (push to a arrow) It's wounded

"go to the hospital"

It's got red stitches.

__Desks__ They look like spiders with four legs. On big bulky heads and eyes that pop out of their heads like turtles.

"White flag" sort of looks like it has more stars and stripes then "Flag" so it looks ancient and more important. "Flag" is ready to fight unlike "White Flag" Which has already fought the war and did good. Once I saw "White Flag" I thought "Flag" was more important. Because it is ready to fight the war. - Alec

=The Million Dollar Mystery= = "Yo Albert what's up?" said Jimmy = = "Nuthin' at all. Just waiting here for Mr.Jacob the mean principle because I got accused for throwing a paper air plane out the window of the school bus and hit an old lady in a wheel chair." = = "Geese sounds bad". Albert new jimmys voice was full of sarcasm. All of the sudden Justin the school bully = popped up right beside Albert. Albert didn't see Justin so justin punched Albert in the back. Albert turned around so quickly that he smacked Justin full in the face. All the sudden a voice said "split it up!" it was principle Jacob. Jimmy started to run away but it was to late. Principle Jacob grabbed him by the scruff of his neck. Then he yelled "GET IN MY OFFICE!!" After we got in his office he started screaming random cusswords that I don't even know at the top of his lungs. It felt like my ear drums were going to break.***

Back at home Alberts mom was having trouble with the landlord because he came for his money and she said"I don't have your money to pay**

= Plant Project = = = = Habitat: = The Hocela plant lives in the desert. It is very hard for the plant to grow because it is very hot and only rains about 10 inches each year if that. Plus the wind is very strong so the plants has to have roots deep in the ground.

= Size: = The Hocela plant is about 2 feet tall and 1 foot wide. The flower itself is about 4 inches across and the color is red and yellow. There are Zero leaves on the stem. The Hocela is a herbaceous plant because it has a soft stem.

= Adaptations: = The Hocela has a long root in the ground and wide spreading roots. It also has Opening the flower at night,Spines that shoot,Stores water in it's stem.

= =

=Life cycle=

The Hocea germinates by growing it's stem first. Then the Hocela maturates by growing it's hotdog shape then growing it's spikes that shoot. It grows a flower and gets pollinated and reproduces it's young and it dies. It gets pollinated by insect's because the flower is standing up so the wind couldn't get in.

=Dispersing seeds= The Hocela Disperses seeds by shooting a spike in an animals digestive system and the animal poops putting the seed on the ground to grow.

Alec, This looks pretty good. If you have time, you could add some details to each section to make it a little bit stronger. Well, not each section. We probably don't need too many more details about the seed passing through an animal. :) Mr. K.

I'll add a little more detail to my sections except for the DISPERSING SEEDS = = =My story= "Devin!' Come and get ready for school!" "OK Mom, im coming." "Knock knock, anybody in there?" Devin said through the bathroom door at his sister, Sally. //"//I'm just about taking a shower, then brushing my teeth, then painting my nails"... 5 minuts later "then brushing my hair"... "Sal you do realize that you were talking to your self for at least five minutes?" Exlamed Devin. Silence. "Ok see ya." The busride to school was a mad house, paper air planes flying every where, people yelling spitballs flying... But the bus driver didn't say anything

=The 31 CENTRY=

CHAPTER 1 I was being chased by an monster in a heavy storm. The monster was gross, it had slimy scales,at least 10 feet tall, horns on it's head, nasty talons and my dad was fighting it back with a blue squirt gun. Just then I tripped over a rock and fell into a pit of snakes. I woke with a start. My dad was calling me to come outside for a moment. My dad is 52 years old and a science freak, and working on a secret invention that he says someday will "save the world". So I went outside in my pajamas my dad was beckoning me to follow him. He led me into the forest, I've been in the forest but he showed me a different way then I've explored. My dad went over to a tree and whacked it three times with his cane, then a button popped out

"come over here Jason" he said

"ok" I replied.

He took my thumb and pressed it against the button then a creaking sound came from behind me. I jumped. Some moss was shrinking back into the rock. It revealed a super small lever that my dad pulled back with his finger.

"This place has a lot of security" I said

"well it has to for protection of my invention" exclaimed my dad

"Lady's first" he joked"

I am **SO NOT** a girl"I yelled.

I jumped into the hole and my dad walked in behind me and shut the hole and the hole went pitch black. When my dad turned the lights on I realized it wasn't a hole at all. It was a lab.

CHAPTER 2 My dads lab had all his inventions including: His maid robot, his awesome hairbrush-tooth brusher and one that caught my eye. It was painted gold and stood out from all the others. I looked at my dad he had a thing on his head which appeared to be a mind reading device because he said

"oh, thats my teleporter".

"Whoa, thats sooo cool!"I exclaimed.

"oh ya thats what we came here for" said my dad while taking of the mind reading device.

"geese that's even cooler!" I said pointing at what looked like a ray gun.

My dad didn't hear me so he kept on talking "if I ever die you need to take over the project" he said.

I went over to the ray gun and my dad yelled "no don't touch that!"

To late. I pushed the button on the top of the ray gun thing and a beam shot out of the ray gun and hit my dad. He vaporized into thin air and I said

"dang I have to do the stupid project, ok, i'll do it" So I walked over to the machine then I suddenly I felt super smart.

CHAPTER 3 I ran out of the place at record speed.

I ran into the house and my mom yelled from the kitchen "honey I was looking for-"not now mom!"

I ran upstairs into my room, got some supply's then ran back downstairs then out the door. When I got into the creepy woods I realized I didn't have a cane

"!&#@" I swore.

"Oh ya I have a cane Grandpa used in the house!" I said.

So I ran back in the house and said"hey mom, where's Grandpa's old cane?"

" Oh, up in the attic. Why?"

"Oh never mind" I answered.

So I ran up to the top floor opened the attic door got the cane (that took about 30 minutes) and ran back out to the secret door. I walked to the the same tree my dad whacked and I whacked it three times then pressed my finger against the button and then I pulled the lever and walked back through the door and started to work.

CHAPTER 4

Once I thought I finished the teleport I stepped back drank a sprite and admired my work.

"Now to try it out" I said nervously.

So I walked up to the teleport and laid my finger on the blue button and said "by the way mom I may not be back for dinner!"

then I pressed the button. I can't really explain the feeling of going in a teleport.

"Oh dang, I don't even now where i'm going!"

then plop, I fell on to my butt in the middle of a deserted street. Where was I? I didn't know so I started wandering around. That wasn't a good idea. I ran into a solider carrying a bazooka, no, literally I actually ran into the solider.

CHAPTER 5 The solider was so big I fell down.

"Aww man, my mom's so going to kill me these pj pants are sooooo expensive" I said

"Sorry"the solider said

"Where am I ?"I asked.

" Were in world war 6"

"What!!!, Were only in world war 2!" I yelled

"You must be living in a bubble man"

Just then a whole troop of soliders came marching up to us. The solider with the bazooka ran over to the troop, got in line and said "you better get out of here, this is war zone"

I ran off to a field where nobody was. Just then a spain troop ("i'm gessing the're agenst us") walked in the field. I jumped behind a bush and crouched down. Now, I'm usually not a eaves-dropper but if it's a bad guy I'm ok with it. The spain troop was not very smart, they dropped an old peice of paper and it fluttered across the grass. I took a chance and reached out of my hiding place and grabbed the peice of paper. Luckily nobody saw me.

"yessssss" I said silently but one of the soliders heard me.

CHAPTER 6 "Hey someones spying on us!" he yelled.

Two soliders ran over and peeked behind the bush I was hiding behind and I ran away and yelled "So long people!"

But the soliders were gaining on me. Just then my friend (the solider with the bazooka) and his friends popped out from a woods and started shooting at the spain troop. I gave my freind the peice of paper and said" see ya".

And I pressed the button on the side of my belt and transported home. I ran inside my house and sat down at the table for dinner.(I made it back for dinner)

THE END

=The Battle of Point Pleasant= = Before the battle = The Iroquois Indians and the British signed "The treaty of fort stanwix". The treaty was the Iroquois indians to give up all the land east and south of the Ohio river. Deleware, Shawnee, and Mingo Indians didn't agree to give up the land. The British settlers moved in immediately. By the spring 1774 of Native Americans tried to push the British back to the east of the Appalachian mountains. On May third 1774 a group of British soldiers seeking revenge killed 11 Mingo Indians.Mingos and shawnees demanded payback. So Chief Logan took 24 warriors to repay them. They killed 13 Settlers.

Begining of the battle
=== John Connolly immediately prepared to attack the Ohio indians. Lord Dunmore the Govenor of Virginia offered his colonies help. In August 1774 Lord Dunmore kept recruting people until he ha about 1,000 men. Lord Dunmore led the army and destroyed 7 mingo villages. Dunmore directed his 1,000 men through the kanawha valley, they camped out over night. The Shawnee Chief Cornstalk had gathered about 700 men waiting to attack Dunmore's men. The army's collided October 10,1774 which became known as the Battle of Point Pleasant. After hours of fighting Dunmore's army drove Cornstalk's men north of the Ohio river. Nearing the shawnee villages Dunmore stopped. Dunmore asked if the shawnee could come and discuss a peace treaty. The Shawnees said yes. ===

After the battle
The Shawnee indians gave up some land south and east of the Ohio river. The Shawnee Promised to give up there captives, not to attack british people along the river, and gave there captured horses and other properties back. Another big change was that that Shawnees, Mingo and other indian tribes got whittled down and settlers felt more comfertable moving into Ohio. The Virinians had 75 killed men and 150 wounded and the indians had about 33 men killed and Tecumpseh's father,Puckimwah was one of them.

= = = = =Intros= The battle of point pleasant changed many things. 33 indians were killed. I think it was worth it because 75 british were killed.

The indians declared war when the british destroyed 7 Mingo villages.

The battle of point pleasant made settlers more comfortable of moving in. I'm glad they had the war (even though I'm not a settler)

=conclusions= the battle of point pleasant changed many things. 33 indians were killed I think it was worth it because 75 british were killed.
