Twitter – Stella

I recommend Twitter for school use because you can share what you learned and read what others schools learned all around the world. Sometimes it can be hard to say what you want to on Twitter, because you only have 140 characters to use (including spaces and punctuation signs). But you can summarize what you want to write to fit it in a small way. Also, your parents can see what interesting thing you learned in school. They can even re tweet what you learned to their friends! Twitter is a fun tool to use, and it’s safe. If someone post’s something inappropriate you can report to Twitter and you don’t hear anything from them again. As long as you use Twitter in a safe way, you can have a very good time with it. I would suggest Twitter to anyone who likes modern technology!

Book Talk by Stella

Many kids think that they are “special” and could be the new Einstein, of course there is a test to prove it. Only four kids can pass and they will be the new geniuses! The book, Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Steward is about the four kids who pass the test: Reynie, Sticky, Kate, and Constance.

They are regular kids who don’t know anything about each other and never met each other. After all the other kids had left because they didn’t pass. Mr. Benedict, the inventor of the test, tells them that they are new spies. Reynie, Sticky, Kate, and Constance end up going to a unusual school because Mr.Benedict says that messages are being sent out to the whole world that hypnotize kids into being slaves. The person who is doing this is a man named Mr. Curtin who works at the school.

These students have to find out, without exposing themselves, why he is doing this, how he is doing this, and, when will he stop doing this. They end up depending on each others lives to make this work… But how do they find out all the questions? Well, in the school some of the best students get to be messengers, and once they become one they hypnotize them and make them spread the words that hypnotize the other kids all around the world. So if Reynie, Sticky, Kate, and Constance get to be messengers they can find out all the secrets without being hypnotized. How do they do this? I’ll leave that to you…

Book Talk 2 – Stella

Niki Maxwell is an 8th grade girl who goes to (from her perspective) the worst school ever… She has 3 friends Chloe, Zoe and Brandon. She also has a bully named Mackenzie who insults her a lot, for example: “That is a GREAT sweater, for my DOG.” Mackenzie makes her life have many bumps in the road, but Nikki always has her friends with her.

One day Nikki, Chloe, and Zoe want to compete in “Holidays On Ice” to raise money for an animal hospital called “Fuzzy Friends”. They are doing this because Brandon works there and it means a lot to him and if they don’t raise money for “Fuzzy Friends” the owners will have to put all the animals down. Dork Diaries by Rachel Russell is a very adventures book that will always put you in the mood for reading. In this whole story Nikki finds some REALLY DEEP secrets.

Dreams for middle school – Stella

#Student

By: Stella

My wish for our middle school would be to be more “social.” What I mean is that we go to classes, sometimes schedules are flipped and flopped, but we should have more freedom. Everything is planned, but we should pick our own schedule. Almost like when we have arts, we should work when and where we want to, and learn at our own pace. It’s not simple to fix, but it would be dazzling. Of course classes are fun and we learn lots, but I think we could have even more fun with learning. Not by telling jokes to make kids pay attention, but making what we are learning even more fun.


A dream for all middle schools all over the world is for all schools to be able to learn the same things and be able to share ideas with each other. We do that with other classes on Skype, its a really good idea and its fun. Also I wish for No Bullying. We somehow could create a system with other schools. That will hopefully lead bullying to an end. My last wish would be for all schools to have there own garden, where they could use all the food for people who need help and for our school lunches. It seems crazy but I wish it could happen.

Letter From Grendel’s Mom – Stella

Beowulf,

How dare you kill my son! If you went and killed pigs for food then what’s so bad about my son eating your men? Its is the food chain. When he got home and I saw him one armed I screamed until he wailed even more. I should have never let him go out again, because you just had to go to the very bottom of the ocean fighting my son to the death! Poor Grendel, if only I had known… I WOULD HAVE RIPPED YOU LIMB BY LIMB! Well this is horrible, I lost my son and you are proud? Think about the animals your clan kills for food. What if you killed the mothers? That would not be good- “Daddy where did mom go?” “I not sure kids but she’ll probably be back soon.” BUT IT NEVER HAPPENS! Do you know  what that is like for me? NO! Living alone with all your son’s skulls and stuff is horrible, every night I think about it and I cry myself to sleep. If there was some way that a Night Stalker could judge us and see who would be guilty or not! Even though I would not be guilty.

“The Power Of We” by Stella

Blog Action Day

The power of we is

what some want people to see

something that we as a community can do.

Bringing us closer together.

The power of one is is collaboration that will end up bringing us far.

Together is what we will do

If there were peace and no war we would find this treasure.

Deep down in your heart if we all can find this “Power Of We”

The world would be the best place in the galaxy.

Beyond the stars and

past the moon, still the world would be best.

If we could all find the power of one, it would touch my heart

Ciao! Il mio nome è Stella: ho 4 anatre, un cane, due pesci, quattro serpenti, due polli, e una tartaruga. Il mio migliore amico è Ava e adora i gatti! Ha tre gatti e un cane. Anche se lei ama i gatti ama ancora il suo cane Charlie. We both go to scuola a Poughkeepsie Day è un ottimo posto divertente per imparare e giocare! La mia materia preferita a scuola è matematica e scienza. Penso che sia davvero divertente. Dovresti dirmi di te prima o poi. Ciao!
