Today I read a book called holes. Its about kids that get in trouble. They have to go and dig holes. They are digging in a place that used to be a lake. But then the lake dried up and so did the town. So they sent bad kids that get in trouble with the law to the old town to dig holes. They stay there and work till they have completed a hole.
I thought this book was good because it shows that there is a place for everybody that cases trouble. I think that holes is a great way to turn some one bad to good.

title:death&grief
i read about cremation. when a body is cremated, it is reduced to ashes by intense heat, and the ashes are placed in an urn or a box, the ashes might be buried, scattered, orkept. Cremationmay be chosen because it is less expensive and requires less burial space.

Title: 1,001 facts about the human body.

Today what I read about was about cells and some facts about the human body. One thing I learned was body systems are made up of organs containing different tissues. Also a tissue is a collection of similar cells that perform a specific function. Over 200 types of specialized cells act as the body’s building blocks. Cells contain structures called organelles (“little organs”), which carry out many vital functions. And one interesting fact is three billion cells die every minute; most are renewed.

The Sun and the Moon

The sun and the moon lived in a cave. No light of the sun or moon came out. Only the stars shone in the sky. Then the sun and the moon got tired of living together. They didn’t want to live together because it was to crowded. The sun thought he was better than the moon. Then the moon left and slept in the sky. Then the sun came out into the sky. And the moon ran away.

Title:
Skin Problems

Today I read the book called Illustrated Book of Pregnancy & Baby Care. I read a chapter about skin problems. Minor skin problems are common in childhood. Most clear up quickly, but some are very contagious, and must be treated promptly. If your child has a rash combined with other signs of illness, he may have an infectious illness. A spot is a small red swelling, usually on the face. A boil is an infection in the skin that causes a large, painful lump, which then festers to produce a head of a pus in the middle. Don’t worry if your child gets occasionally spots, but recurrent boils may be a sign of illness.

Reflection:
What I read today was very intresting. Each time I read something in this book it gets me more and more stuck on it cause of all the interesting stuff it talks about and that it explains. I honestly had no idea that a boil could be a sign about an infection.
A very interesting fact that I read in this chapter was that boils are most likely to occur on the face or on pressure points such as the buttocks, but they can appear anywhere on the body.

The book that I read today is about motorcycle. I also talks about how to get a motorcycle license its called class M. Another thing that this book talks about is the rules that you must follow to handle such a powerful vehicle. Some kinds of rules are you must wear a helmet. Another rule is that you must one have one other person on the bike with you.

Reflection: I really feel that this is a very good book. I enjoy reading this book.

Today I read about Volcanoes. I read that many of the islands of East Asia are actually peaks of volcanoes that rise from the ocean floor. Earth’s crust is made up of gigantic Slabs of moving rock called tectonic plates. When two or more plates push against each other magma can escape from deep inside Earth. Gases in the magma quickly expand like the bubbles in an unopened can of soda that has been shaken. When magma pours out of the earth it is called lava. While some volcanoes are active others remain dormant or inactive. Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines had been dormant for 500 years. In 1991 it awoke spewing hot ash and superheated gases for months. Within hours of mount Pinatubo's eruption heavy rains began to fall. Ash and rocks turned into rapidly moving lahars {LAH harz} a Javanese word for mudflow.

OMAR MEDINA

The book I read today would probably be the most interesting book I've read in this class so far. It is Called " The Code". The Narrator/first person was remembering when his younger brother Hntsa would always beat him playing Nintendo basketball. He couldn't believe it. He remembers his brother "destroying" him in the game. He would practice when his brother wasn't there but Hntsa would still have the ability to defeat him. Finally he asked him how, when even practing all day, Hnta had the ability to beat, Hnta turned his joystick upside down and showed him a button. It was the turbo button. Playing video games with Hntsa reminded him of a "turbo button" he had discovered in life. The narrator explains how a turbo button in life can take you to achievements you've never thought you would acheieve. Think of the turbo button as a "PRESS IF YOU WANT TO TAKE ACTION TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE". The narrator also explains how his older brother had his turbo button on and would set goals in life and succeed. I Thought the book was really interesting. I think I'll get the Turbo button anology and use it in my life.
