Earth Day

     Hey guys! Happy late Earth Day! Today we are going to be talking about Earth Day. 

     Okay, so before we can really get into Earth Day, we need to know what it is. Earth Day is an annual celebration of our Earth. On Earth Day people from around the world do things like pick up trash, plant a tree, or make crafts with recycled materials.

     Now that we know what Earth Day is about, we can start diving into the history of Earth Day.  Earth Day first began on April 22nd 1970 when Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin was upset because nobody was responding to an important issue in our environment.  He held a festival for our Earth, which is now known as Earth Day. This year we are celebrating 50 years of  Earth Day. 

     Now you may be wondering what projects you can do as a kid to help our Earth. Some projects you can do are make a terrarium, you could make a recycled tin can planter, maybe you could plant a tree, or you could just simply recycle.

     I hope you enjoyed learning about Earth Day! If I make a terrarium I will be sure to share mine with you and tell you how it goes. Don’t forget to enter the writing contest (there may be a prize involved)! I will see you next time! Good bye!

Mad Libs

     Hey guys and welcome back to another post! I am so sorry that I am a day late! I honestly just forgot to finish up the post and post it. So sorry, but thankfully I didn’t completely forget! Anyway today we are going to be doing some mad libs! So how it is going to work is I am going to ask someone  in my family or some friends the words that need to be filled in and I will tell you what they said.

     Okay, first I asked one of my friends through text. This mad lib is supposed to be about vacation.  When my friend's story was finished it said “ A vacation is when you take a trip to some small place with your poor family. Usually you go to some place that is near a snow globe or up on a mascara. A good vacation is one where you can ride eyelash curlers ,play football, or go hunting for perfumes. I like to spend my time running or hopping. When parents go on vacation, they spend their time eating three purses a day. Fathers play golf and mothers sit around washing. Last summer, my little brother fell in a Yoda, and got a poisonous venus fly trap all over his arm. My family is going to the Sephora, and I will practice flying. Parents need vacations more than kids because parents are always very old and because they have to work 82 hours a day all year to make enough jackets to pay for vacation. 

     Next, I asked one of my family members the words that need to be filled in. This mad lib is supposed to be about our solar system. Her finished story said, “ When we look up into the sky on a spiffy summer night, we see millions of tiny spots of light. Each one represents a door which is the center of an horindes solar system with dozens of jump ropes revolving lovely around a distant sun. Sometimes these suns expand and begin popping their neighbors. Soon they will become so big, they will turn into feet. Eventually they subside and become mental giants or perhaps black boxes. Our own planet, which we call Meredith, circles around our zany sun 172 times every year. There are eight other planets in our solar system. They are named Debra, Beyoncé, Damarkus, Spencer, Margo, Totena, Jupiter, and Mars. Scientists who study these planets are called blankets."

     For our third mad  lib I asked another friend. This one is about visiting the zoo. The finished story said “The zoo is a brave place to learn about different types of cars. There are calm animals and cool animals there. Some of the animals are as funny as a rock! There are baby sticks who were born six days ago, a petting zoo where you can feed the bears pizza, a smart pool where cats go swimming. There are blue and yellow dogs in the loud tire forest habitat, and you can watch the zookeepers feed the hyper snakes. The gift shop has ovens you can wear, pictures of pillows, and even snacks like soup so you can remember your day at the zoo.”

I thought these mad libs were pretty funny to read! I hope you thought so, too! For a fun activity you can get a family member and ask them the words for a funny short story to read. See you next time! Good bye!
