My Passion – Cars By Justin

My favorite passion is cars. Ever since I was little I would get my cars and push them on my couch. I did it almost every day. I really had no idea why I loved them so much but I just did. After a couple of years, I started to name cars that I passed on the road. When I turned ten I went to the New York International Auto show. That was probably my favorite birthday I’ve ever had. Here is the link to the website where you can find everything about the auto show.

When I went to the show, I walked into a big room but it had no cars in it. There were hallways going left or right, so I went left. When I got down to another room, there was so many cars and there was a bunch of words hanging from the ceiling. The words were the names of the cars. Then I saw that we were in the luxury car section. One of my favorite luxury cars is the 2017 Lexus LF-LC. It’s probably my favorite Lexus that I’ve seen. Here is the link to the car 2017 Lexus LF-LC

When I went to a different place in there I ended up at the Infiniti spot. I also really like that brand a lot. Infinity is the fancier car of Nissan. I like two cars from infiniti; one is the Infiniti Q50 and the other one is the infiniti Qx60 hybrid. Here is the link to the  Qx60

Here is the link to the Q50

I have a Nissan Pathfinder and  The Infiniti Qx60 is a fancier version of my car. When I was at the car show they let me sit in the car. I was so excited to sit in it because I’ve never been in one before.

I really enjoyed my experience at the car show.  I’m really excited to go back for my twelfth birthday this year.

My Passion – Singing – By Elizabeth

I have many passions such as singing, acting, dancing, and horseback riding. But today I will only talk about one… singing! I have been singing since before I can remember. It has become a big part of my life. I am always singing around the house. I remember I used to love singing to the track of The Sound of Music. I memorized the entire soundtrack.

I think I love to sing because I can express my feelings. For example, if I sing an Ed Sheeran song I would sing the words but would probably sing it with a completely different feeling than him. He could have written the song about his friends but I could sing the song thinking it was about falling in love.

 This past year I started writing songs. I love writing songs because when I sing them they are sung truthfully.  I also got three of my songs recorded over the summer. I have to say that was probably the best experience I had ever had.

This is a video of me singing, “How do you solve a problem like Maria”. ( This was from when I was 4)

 

 

Pool Time By Aidan

IMG_0143I wake up that morning not knowing what we are doing that day, but I hoped that it would be fun. When I asked what are we doing today my mom told me. I was not very excited. I got ready to leave for the party. We got in the car to go to my sister’s classmates house for their party. The car ride was very long and boring.

When we get there I stood around for a little bit because I was a little shy. Then I got my swim trunks on. I walked over to the pool and got in. I swam to the other side, and once I was at the other side I was happy because I got there. I messed around with my sister for a little bit then I got out of the pool because I was getting tired.

I got a Hawian Punch to drink. I was sort of tired, so I plopped down in a chair next to my sister. I was very cold too. My dad then came over to me and my sister. He got his camera out and and took a picture of us. Later that day we got back in the car to go home. When we got home, I was tired so I lay down in bed.

Some time a year later or so my dad bought a new printer. He wanted to make sure it worked so he printed out the photo of me and my sister sitting in the chair together. That is how the photo was made.

My dad then gave me the photo, So I pined it to my bulletin board. Some people wonder why I have weird tattoos on my arms. Those are Japanese characters. I got the tattoos from my Dad’s Mom the day before. Obviously I did what any other little kid would do, I put them all over my arms.

Christmas By Justin

 

                                                                          What I do for Christmas

This year for Christmas, I will go to my grandmother’s house. When my family and I are there, we hang out and relax. For dinner we  have appetizers. We eat bread and dip, sugar cookies, eggnog and veggies. We also eat Cheese, crackers, and grapes. All of that food is usually on the dining room table. When we are  finished  with eating,  we go to the living room and sit down and talk. I’m looking forward to this Christmas because I like spending time with family and getting gifts.

My Holiday Experience!!!!!! By Elizabeth

In my home we celebrate Christmas. Every Christmas Eve we have a big brunch with our friends. Then we go to church. At church my brother and I perform Christmas songs before the service begins. At the end of the service it is a tradition for my brother to play Silent Night on the violin. All the people hold candles and sing along. At the end of the service we go home and read Twas The Night Before Christmas, and then we go to bed. I can never fall asleep on Christmas Eve because I am so excited. In the morning at around 5:30 a.m my brothers and I wake up and jump on our parents bed. Then we go downstairs as a family and open all of the presents. Then family comes over and we have a big lunch. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!!

Holiday Post By Fiona

Winter holidays are my favorite holidays. Although I only take part in two of them, I enjoy them a lot. I celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah.

I celebrate Hanukkah because my grandmother is Jewish. I celebrate Christmas, even though I am not religious. I celebrate it because my family just enjoys all of the happiness during Christmas. Both of the holidays are quite fun. Although during Hanukkah I don’t receive presents, I enjoy lighting the candles every night. What I enjoy about Christmas is that everybody in my family is generous and gives gifts. I give a gift to everybody in my family but most of all I enjoy my whole family coming over and eating delicious food. Holidays are not about gifts and food, they are about family.

So basically in my opinion, winter holidays are the best!!

What I do During the Holiday Season! By Olivia

   Holiday blog post

During Christmas , my family goes to NYC. We get there on Christmas eve and sleep at my aunt and uncle’s house.  My aunt Polly makes a wonderful dinner, and we all eat. I love celebrating Christmas because it’s a fun way to get together with family members. After we sleep over at their house, my grandmother and grandfather ( on my mom’s side ) come over. Once my grandparents have arrived we can open our stockings! I love opening stockings because you never know what you’re going to get. We have a big breakfast and then we open presents! I like seeing people’s faces when they open the gift I gave to them. This year I am not only going to go to NYC, but I am going to Florida as well! In Florida I am going to see my grandmother, aunt and uncle ( on my dad’s side), and it will be so much fun. While we’re in Florida, we are going to Universal studios! I really love Christmas and I am excited for this one.

Holiday Post – Annie

My family and I celebrate Christmas even though we’re not Christian. I love Christmas; not just for the presents I like it because it’s a time to see family and give love and many more reasons.

Every year my parents and I put up a tree. We have a fake tree because if we get a real one our cats might eat some of it and get sick. We decorate the tree with many different lights and ornaments. We have special ornaments that we put at the top and just pretty looking ornaments at the bottom. We have a big gold star to go on the very tip of the tree. We also like to decorate the mantel. We have a stocking for me, my mom, my dad, and the dog. Then we put some more lights and pictures up there too.

I get an advent calendar every year so in the morning on every day of December I wake and eat a chocolate!
Usually I get one really big present and the rest are small. This year my big present  is custom riding boots from Argentina. I can’t wait to get them! Every year on Christmas eve I am allowed to open one present, I usually pick the biggest one. Overall Christmas is my favorite holiday!

Final Blogging Challenge – Yasmeen

Taking part in the 2015 Blogging Challenge was a nice experience. There was always something new to do each week along with learning something new. I got to learn how to use Compfight, I learned how to make an avatar, I also learned a lot of new things from other people’s blogs. I liked visiting blogs because in about a week or two I had a response. My favorite Blogging Challenge was where we got to write a little about ourselves and then we got to make an avatar. I thought it was a nice way to express myself, and for everyone on edublogs to get to know me. This experience is one I will never forget. Hopefully I will get to use the skills I learned from the Blogging Challenge and use them again some day. Here is the link to my favorite post. Also, my class and I got nominated for Best Class Blog and Best Group Blog. Thanks for everyone who nominated us and don’t forget to vote here for Shirley’s 6th Grade Class.7201994-122599800_4-s1-v1

Last Blogging Post – By Zacharias

I really liked the blogging challenge because it taught  me a lot about how to blog and I really enjoyed it. One thing that I really enjoyed was the one about halloween because that is my second favorite holiday. For the halloween blogging challenge I did The Scarred Man  and I really enjoyed it . This was a really great experience for me because I have never blogged in my life. I thank you for giving me a really good experience. Happy blogging and blog away.
