Curiosity and Wonder

In school, the 4th and 5th grade have been thinking about curiosity and asking questions. I feel that has a lot to do with wonder. We've been doing projects and interviewing people and doing other things to explore our curiosities. Wouldn't it be cool to just stop for a moment and think about all your questions and curiosities and just see what they've made of you? I think that would be so cool!
I am curious about...

-Neuroscience
-Mythology
-Zoology
-Astronomy
-Archaeology
-So Much more!

Maybe you could do this too! Write it down, keep it in your head, or share it with someone! There is a lot of things you could do with curiosity. Just try it out!

Halloween

As you know, Halloween is coming by. There is a lot to do, like figure out a costume and decorate your house. I have a few ideas about what you could be:

-A book character: Choose an interesting character from your favorite book and be that person.
-A Scary person: Ghosts and Zombies!!!!
-A funny thing in your house: A lamp or a chair, cut it out of card board and tie it to yourself!
-Animals: Whether it's a fluffy bunny or a Ferocious wolf, these costumes are easy to find and wear!

Try these ideas, and you will be sure to have a fun halloween!!!!!!!!

Soccer!

Lately, I've been playing on a soccer team. It's a fun and challenging game, and when you play with a friend the only thing you REALLY need is a ball. But, when you are playing on a team, you need some other interesting gear:

-Shorts
-Short Sleeve shirt (or team jersey)
-Cleats (certain type of shoes)
-Shin guards
-Long Socks
-At least 10 more people

I hope you try it out, either with a friend or on a team. You can sign up for a school team, or just find one in your city/town.

Lot's Going On!

For me, there's a lot going on for me in the next week.

How to Create a One Person Circus!

A lot of times, on weekends and stuff, I get bored an have nothing to do. I've created something that could be fun: Create a circus. You need a few simple tools:

- Some multi sized stuffed animals or dolls
- A ball of yarn
-Some butter knives
- Any other things for other acts you want to do
- A cool, sparkly outfit
-A format, tickets, programs

First, we'll set up some acts. The butter knives you can use for the sword swallower. The yarn is for the tightrope walker. The stuffed animals and dolls can be your other characters. You can also look on websites for more ideas.

The rest is totally yours. You can handwrite a program, cut tickets. Even do a disappearing act. Magic. Cool characters. It is completely yours. Every thing up there is optional, these are just my preferences. Maybe get some cool fabric or costumes, and you could sew them.

Anything is possible in the circus!

I'm in the mood for role-plays. Aren't you?

Right now in season are role-plays. Role-playsare stories you do with friends. You each come up with a few characters and write a story from their different point of views. I'm in the middle of one on a website, and I'm starting one with a friend. It's really easy , and it's really fun. Plus, you can make it about anything! You should try it!

How About This One?

I could write a story about a crime scene from the point of view of the suspect that did it. The way he lies, escapes from the police, and if he feels enough pain to tell. What should the crime be? Maybe he could steal something important. Should it be mystical? What should the characters name be? You help me!
