Dreaming

Dreaming is one of the strangest things. They can be good or bad; sad or happy. I don't understand why we dream in our sleep. I don't think anyone does, not even scientists. Dreaming is like a Magic 8 Ball. They're never the same and can mean anything, if they do make sense. Some people dream in color which is supposed to mean they're more creative and are good at imagining things. Some others dream in black and white and they don't think out of the box as much, or care about being stylish or artsy. In my opinion, either one is fine. Everyone is different, just like their dreams, and that's okay. To tell you the truth, I don't remember any of my dreams or how I dream them. I'm guessing that because I'm creative, I dream in color but I remember a few dreams. I think that one time I had an outlandish dream and it was it tye-dye. Hmm... I wonder why we dream what we do...

iTunes

My favorite music website that's free is iTunes. iTunes is made by Apple and it's a site where you can download movies, apps, games, songs, albums, podcasts, and more. I think it's pretty cool that iTunes can operate that fast when hundreds of people are using it at once. I always download my favorite songs and interesting podcasts when I go on. It's amazing how iTunes has so many high-tech abilities. One of my favorites is called Genius. It takes the songs you have bought and recommends other songs and artists to you. That's how I find a lot of the music I like. Well, I suggest you all download iTunes if you don't already have it. Just go to www.apple.com and press downloads. From there, you can just click "Download iTunes" and it's free to install.

Braces

A lot of my friends have braces or are going to get them. Not me. I wonder why some people want to get braces. I don't see a single reason why someone would like braces. To tell you the truth, I don't think braces are too pretty. Besides, you can't eat gum, corn on the cob, or popcorn... some of my favorite foods! But if I end up having to get braces, I'll probably get orange or purple braces. I have to admit that it's pretty cool that the dentists can give you colored braces! The old-fashioned braces were so big and bulky: :( No offense to people who had them or still do!!

Easter

Easter Sunday is coming up very soon. I'm sure many people are going shopping for ham, but they're also picking up some candy and Easter baskets. Lots of people are buying marshmallow Peeps, jelly beans, chocolate bunnies, and even lollipops. What is your favorite Easter candy? I think I like the Peeps best, but all the other sweets are good too. Easter is one of my favorie holidays because it's fun and happy. Every year, family gets together and has a nice meal together. I love having Easter egg hunts. It's really exciting to look around everywhere outside and look for the special eggs. The best part of Easter is decorating the eggs in pastel water colors. Some of the ways to decorate them are making stripes, polka-dots, Easter bunny pictures, or even make smaller Easter eggs within. In the mornings, many people will be taking place in their local churchs to listen to the services. Easter is such an important day of the year because it is the reserection of Jesus Christ. We are so lucky to have plenty of food, drink, shelter, and clothes.

BrainPOP

I just wanted to tell everyone about one of the websites we often use at school. It's a great education website for practically anything: math, English, science, technology, health, social studies and art/music. www.brainpop.com is a website that has thousands of all educational videos for any topic you can think of. Tim and Moby can teach you about stocks to bruises or Albert Einstein to pi. There's even a BrainPOp Junior which is recommended for kindergarteners through 3rd graders. I think BrainPOP is the funnest way there is to learn about everything in life.
