Lyric Movie


~This Quarter~

Well, I have learned a whole lot this quarter. We are learning how to create a lyric video. We go on  Movie Maker then insert the pictures, slides, and backgrounds. Then we add the lyrics, and the music. Then you have to go through and change all the slife lengths to the length of the song. We have also did the Alphabet Photo Challenge, where you take a picture of anyrthing that starts with that letter then we put it into a book on Mix Book. We have also did research projects. We have used Wordle. Wordle was fun because you type in a bunch of words that describe your theme or yourself. then you pick a picture and insert it. One thing I didn't like was Typing Web. Typing Web was where you have levels and you have to go through and pass each level then try to finish them all. My favorite of all of them was the Lyric Video. I liked it because you could pick any song and listen to it. Well thats about it!!

~Basketball~

Basketball. Well so far we are 4-0. The 8th grade boys are 0-4. The 7th grade girls, the  7th and 8th grade boys have a game tonight at Sunrise. They do not have an 8th grade girls basketball team, wich is a bummer! But instead we get to ride up there and watch all three teams play against Sunrise. The bus will take all the girls down, then turn around and come get the boys. Then after the girls play, any girl that wants to come back can. The ones who do not come back will have to cram on a bus and ride with the 7th and 8th grade boys teams. Well wish them luck!!

The 7 Doors

I found myself in front of 7 doors that go to different places. One of the seven did go to Narnia. I have always wanted to go to Narnia to see those half-horse half-humans. So I did. I went through the middle door and at first I walked through a snowy forest. Then i hear kids talking and I see footprints. It was the kids from the movie, "Narnia."  We grouped up and made our way through the forest. After 30 minutes, we came across some huff prints. We followed them. Then we finally caught up with all the centaurs. They were really nice and gave us a lift back to the main part of Narnia. They even had girl centaurs and baby centaurs.
Well that is all about my pick to go to Narnia!

Basketball Game Tonight!!!!

Tonight we have a basketball game against Crystal City! We are all really excited. Last time we played them we only won by 9 points. They just lost their best player to Windsor. Windsor is gonna be really tough this year. But, Crystal City has only 6 girls on their team. That leaves only one substitute. If one of the girls foul out, then they won't have any subs. But, if two foul out then we will have to play four on four. We very rarely play four on four but it does happen. Last night I went to my brother's basketball practice at Crystal City and the girls were practicing while we were waiting. So, we got to sit there and watch them practice. So wish us luck!!!

Gun Laws

I think that some people should have the right to own guns and others not so much.  In my opinion I don't think that the government should take away the law to own a gun or weapon. Just when you go to buy a weapon from Cabelas, Walmart, or Dunns I think you should get a background check and have a test to see if you are smart enough to own any type of gun or weapon. The test would be questions that are about the parts of the gun. I do believe that not all people should ever be able to have a gun in their life. Because, its not guns that kill people its stupid people with guns that kill people. Thats why I think you should have to take a test and have a background check before you buy a gun from a store.  You should still have to take a test to take it with you in public places. Thats some reasons you should do that.

1st Thanksgiving...

For my first Thanksgiving as a host, I had bought the biggest turkey the store had.  When I got home I started cooking the turkey. About 20 minutes into the cooking of the turkey I hear popping. I looked at the oven and my turkey was going to explode. I hurried and got the turkey out of the oven and I forgot to take the plastic off the turkey. So I took it off and recooked the turkey. Once the turkey was done I took it out and put it on a platter and made it look nice. Then the guests arrived and one of them brought their dog. As doon as the dog got there it went buzurk and he went straight for the turkey and desserts we had made. We all looked at each other and yelled no at the same time. The the dog dove onto the table of foods and everything flew up in the air. The feast was ruined. I was so mad at the dog and its owners.I just wanted to scream and yell at the people and dog.  And thats why we all ate hamburgers.

I Deserve a Day off of Schoool

I deserve a day off of school because I am so cool. Okay, so I believe that students should have so many days when they are tired they can just stay home. But, I deserve a day off because we have school 5 days a week. It gets really boring here. I'm glad we get to have 3 days off this week plus the weekend. So a total of 5 days off school. That is just like 1 week at school. And we should also have more days to finish certain projects or homework. Because somedays we have homework and we have to go see family or a funeral and the next day we get a hot sheet because our homework is not finished on time. But, normally I finish my homework at school.  Plus we will not have basketball practice on days we are off.

Video Game Addicts

People are "addicted" to video-gaming.  People tend to throw around the word "addiction". Like, "Shes addicted to Twitter" or, "He is addicted to food."  People just love the joy of playing online games with friends.  Nearly 1 in 10 youth gamers are completely addicted.  Video games can  harm the way you function. It could hurt your eyes, and kill your brain cells. It is okay to play maybe an hour then go eat or go outside then come back. But, there are people out there whos lives are dedicated to their xbox 360, psp, or even play station 3.  Parents need to enforce their kids or family to find a new hobby and make video gaming the side hobby. There are just so many new games out right now like Call of Duty Black Ops II, Assasains Creed III, Madden Football 2013, and even just the old Minecraft. Set up a timer to where you play 1hr 30 min then go eat and get away from gaming for a good 1 hour.  Most parents think if the kids are playing video games then fine, the kid is not bugging me. So, they just let them keep on playing all night for 5 hours.  Well take this advice and help yourself out.  You can get more information here.

Cairo, Illinois

Next Tuesday the 20th we are playing Cairo for our first basketball game.  We have been learning our offense and transistion plays. We have had practice everyday of the week plus Saturday. Saturdays we have practice from 10-12 and week days we have practice from 3-5. But today there is a band concert in the gymm so we have to do our homework in the cafeteria then when we are all ready we will walk to the other school. Today we will decide what defense we will use against them. Last year we played man-to-man and we went undefeated and won the district championship! We are hoping we could keep the title all the way through highschool. In 7th grade when we won, the coach got to move up with us. Now, she coaches us again, which is awesome because we are already used to her and how we run practices. Well wish us luck!!

~The Tracks~

Once when I was 14 years old, me and my friends would walk along the rusty train tracks. We would follow the tracks all the way to school and the shops. We would also put pennies on the tracks and wait for a train to come. Then one day we were walking back from school and I was wearing boots, we all heard a train coming towards us. We all attempted to jump off the tracks, but my left boot got stuck in the crack of the track. It was stuck good because my foot would not even come out of the boot. My friends were trying to make my foot slip out of the boot, but no luck. So they ran back a little ways and yelled at the driver to slow down and stop. The driver managed to stop the train with a good 3 inches before it hit me. We were never allowed to walk on the tracks again!

Basketball Tryouts!!!

The past 4 days we have had basketball tryouts. There was about 11 8th graders that are trying out, and 21 7th graders trying out. Today is our last day of tryouts! We find out who made the team tonight around 5:15 or 5:30! They are taking 12 or less people. Really all we did at tryouts is run 5 in 65 seconds, wich is running 5 down and backs in a minute and five seconds. We play big city, where you pass untill you make a lay-up. We do a lot of passing drills, and some dribbling drills. I made the 7th grade team last year, so I am hoping I make the 8th grade team. Everyone who tried out last year is trying out again this year, except for 2 people, because they are moving to St. Pius. If we make the team this year we have practice at 8 am tomorrow morning! Wish me luck!

~Heaven~

Recently, I have been pushed off a bridge and plummeted to my death! Before I knew it angels were down by my side singing! All of a sudden i am being lifted into the sky. I looked down on all the people who were crying and the man that pushed me. When I reached heaven there was my great-grandpa! He got the chance to be my tour guide! I was so happy to see him. I haven't seen him in 7 years. Well he started talking about heaven and I was so overwhelmed i made him repeat it. When we were done touring, I asked him can dogs come to this heaven too? Or do they go to doggy heaven? He just laughed and said, "Makensie, dogs do come to this heaven!" I was so happy to hear that because my dog just died last week. So now I will be able to play with my puppy in heaven too!

~Technology~

In 1st quarter technology I have learned m any things. Most the things we did this quarter we review from last year. The new things this quarter I have learned was using the blog. I have never used it last year because she was gone from school, and the sub didn't know how to use it. We also did Time Typing Test, where you  have one minute to type as many words as you can. I usually get around a 48-50 words per minute. We also did some really cool projects like the one with the state. You had to get the states abbriveation then put words that go along with that state, in the form of a letter. Another cool thing we did was using wordle. Wordle is when you put a bunch of words in a text box then hit done then it puts the words out randomly on the paper. You can change color, layout, etc. Well thats about it!!!

Tinker Bell

Once i had a guinea pig named Tinker Bell.  She was my mom's class pet when she had a preschool class. Once my mom switched rooms, she was working with the babies. So she could not have an animal in the room. So we took her home to our house and bought a  cage and there she was in my room. She just died recently. She lived for 10 years! Normally they only live for 7-8 years. Once she died we buried next to Brittany's frog named Billy.

3 Little Monsters

Once upon a time there were three little monsters. One was named Harry, the other Zayn, and lastly Niall. Zayn was the smart one that built his house out of bricks. Harry built his house out of wooden sticks. Finally Niall, he built his house out of straw. One day the big bad wolf came and knocked on Niall's door, and said " little monster, little monster open up!" No body opened. So the wolf said I'll blow your house down. All of a sudden little Niall came out and ate the wolf in one bite! So Niall comes straight over to Harry and Zayn's house and told him about his strange story. They stood there thinking, "what is Niall telling us?" They didn't believe him until Niall the Monster threw him all up! Then they all congratulated him for his prize catch!

 My friend Hailey is amazing! She is always there for people when they need a boost. One time, Hailey, Jourdan, Abby and me all went to six flags together and Jourdan and Abby got lost so we had to sit down and wait for them to find us, soon they found us. One time I was at the movies seeing Possession and here comes Hailey sprinting towards me, yelling, "I dont like scary movies!" I had to giver her my jacket so she could cover eyes, so she didnt have to see the scary parts. All she did was complain that she came to see, "The Odd Life of Timothy Green." We never went to see it though. On Halloween night I am having a bonfire and she might come! Well i'll get back to you on it!

The Robbery

When my dad, mom, brother, and me all arrived home, we noticed something mysterious about the house. We walk inside and everything was stolen, my clothes, furniture, and all my parents valubles. The robbers took everything except one strange object that was sitting in the middle of the floor. It was in box form with 2 keyholes, one on front and one on back. Inside we could here nothing moving around. But why wouldn't they just take the ches with them? My dad called 911 and the police hurried over. They investigate a while, then tell us everything was ok but why the strange box? So we looked all over for a key, but we had no luck, so we called a locksmith. The locksmith came and instantly said, "Get rid of this box, take it far, far away and dont bring it back here!" We did as he said and left. Maybe thats a clue!

My Friends ->

My friend Brittany is so nice, cool, and awesome. She is always there for people when they need it. She made the cheer leading squad 7th and 8th grade year. This year she is the co-captain. She is sitting right next to me in the computer lab. She sometimes helps me when she is in a good mood, but when she isn't I have to help her. Lily on the other hand is just pure crazy! She is always laughing until she comes around me. She says i ruin her day. (: Lily is an amazing cross-country runner. She recently broke her elbow while she was on the trampoline. She had to go to the doctor to get a cast. She picked the lime green one. She didn't let me sign it until the last day, but she is really fun to hang out with. Lily also ran track with me in 7th grade and she better run again or she will be in major trouble. Maybe I can talk Brittany into running track with me too. Wish me luck!!

Cupid

When Cupid climbed to the top of the building and shot down at his target, he thought to himself, "That's weird, I never shot the wrong person like that before."  So he is sited in on his target and never made that mistake. He went down there looking all casual and the person he was aiming for had a twin. The twin was a person who could morph and the other twin, his target, could not. So when he shot the wrong guy he morphed into a giant snake with two heads. Then the snake went on a rampage and destroyed everything in his path. Cupid felt so bad, because he has never made a mistake in his 4 years of his life. Then the other twin Jayson's love was walking down the street! Well that's how I decided to finish that story.

In exactly a week, my brother will be 11 years young!!  He is very mean to me sometimes. Well he asked for alot of things for his birthday and he is only getting half of that stuff! He already got Madden 13 and some clothes. I got him a flat-bill Florida Gator hat with his football number sewn into the side of the hat. I also got him these chin strap covers for his football helmet, one is black and pink the other is white and pink Under Armour.  All hes doing for his birthday is having einds got to West City Park after football practice to play more football. He is having those friends stay the night. It seems really boring. I would rather play basketball. Thats all about my mean brother!

The Bottle of Memories!

If I could put a memory from my past in this bottle and relive it. It would be when my dad took me on the boat and went fishing. We got out on the boat, and sat there for about and hour with our lines in the water. Soon we stopped for lunch, all of a sudden my bobber went under water. My dad put down his sandwich and tried to reel it in but he couldn't so I helped. After about 10 minutes of trying to reel it is in! But it was just a tire stuck to some weeds.

Basketball!

Hey, it is me again! I am so excited for the 8th grade basketball season. Last year the, the 7th grade team, went undefeated!! This year should be awesome because we have all the same players, plus we have the same coach as last year! Usually the coaches change every year, because we went undefeated. We also won the district championships against Windsor! So, I am hoping this year will be even better than last year because we know the team better along with our plays. Well that is all I have to say about basketball.

Labor Day!!

Labor Day is the first Monday in September.  The first Labor Day was held on September 5, 1882.  The second was held on September 5, 1883, just a year later.  There has been a confusion about who started the Labor Day holiday. People have thought it was Peter McGuire, he was the general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and joiners. Other people believe that it was Matthew McGuire, who later became the secretary of the Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, NJ.
The first state bill was introduced to the New York legislator, but was first passed in Oregon on February 21, 1887.  Labor Day is a Nationwide holiday! You may read more here about Labor Day!

Dear Mrs. Debolt:

Hi, my name is Makensie. I love to play basketball, track, and softball. My favorite colors are orange and blue. My favorite subject is science with Mrs. Koch. I am turning 14, October 21.  I broke my wrist 3 years ago, while riding my horse, Shadow.  I was born in Florida, on the Air Force Base. When i grow up I would like to be a x-ray technician.  I would also like to got to Florida University.

When I get on my laptop, I usually play Sims 3 or Facebook. I also downloaded iTunes, so I can download music on my phone and ipod. I know that when you want to copy and past a picture, you have to open the full size image before you copy and past.  I enjoy Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. Some ways to set your background is by opening it in paint, or right clicking on the picture.

What I am interested in learning about is photoshopping. I am also interested in leaarning about people in other countries. Like people in Kuwait, Iran, and Afghanistan.  I also wan to learn about the extinct animals and how they lived. Also, like other animals in other countries, like guinea pigs, giraffes, and polar bears. I have always wondered if there were wild guinea pigs somewhere in the world.

Your wonderful Student,

Makensie

Locked-Up

Well, this morning as usual, I go out to get the mail. I received a letter from an old high-school class mate that says: He is locked up in prison and he needs something from me. But what could he possibly need? He used to be the biggest trouble maker, and he never even talked to me. So I messaged him back and said what is it that you need?  A few days later I receive another message that says: "I am in prison for killing my dog, that had rabies."  I said ok so I go  in and pay to get out of prison, and we have formed a better friendship. He isn't really that bad of a guy.

Women in India

These videos i recently watched are about how the Indians are aborting their babies, just because of their gender.  Millions of girls, women, and babies are murdered every year.  The reason why they are killing them is because they are very expensive.  One mother said, "My mom pushed my 4 month daughter down the stairs."  One of the women in India started an orphanage for only girls.  None of the girls there are allowed to be adopted, in case they get killed by their adopted parents.  There is a 19 year old girl there that was there since she was born.  She calls the lady mom, dad, uncle, aunt, and everything.  They have ultrasounds in India but, down in India they are illegal to use to find out the gender of the baby.  In India it is illegal to have an abortion based on the gender of the baby.  Many men in India struggle to find a wife, they have places men can go to force the women to marry them, the villagers.  Most of them beleive that there are to little girls in India, but none would like the girls living in there home.  There is also a lady president.  I feel that there life is like a diamond and should not be killed just because of there gender, it shouldn't matter if it is a girl or boy.

Chimpanzee!

Yesterday I went to the movies with school and we saw Chimpanzee! It was a really good movie. The chimpanzees were so cute! I realized how much they are alike to people. They have to catch their food, I didn't know that they ate monkeys. The movie was very cute. This movie is based on a real thing. In the end they show you how they actually recorded it too!

I appreciate Mr. Koch because he is a great teacher! He teaches us a lot and we get a lot of stuff done!

Some other teachers that I appreciate is: Mrs. Showmaker-Allen, Mr. Mothersbough, Mrs. Debolt, Mrs. Walker, Coach Nausley, and Mr. Driemeier. I appreciate my teachers because they take there time to teach us!

Dogs

Dogs are very good pets. They are known to be man's best friend. There are a lot of different types of dogs! I have a husky and a golden retriever! They are so cute but a pain in the butt! you have to excersise them everyday,feed them, give them water, and also make sure they go to the bathroom! Dogs are very hyper if you don't give them attention or excersise. Dogs can also be jealous. If you have more then 1 dog its best to give them all the same amount of attention. My dogs are very jealous! When they do something bad tell them no, don't swat them it just makes them meaner. If you have a pit bull they can be very dangerous so if you are buying it from someone make sure it wasm't abused or the dog could be very mean. Dogs don't like to be put in small cages they need a lot of room, so at night keep them out.

Photo Blog!

I have seen a picture and it looks quite strange. It has a boy that has wings like he is an angel or a little boy who just died. The other people in the picture look mad and sad. The people are looking up at the boy and the boy is looking downward at them. The people look like monsters. Most of them look like Frankenstein! This photo must have a story behind it as to why it was drawn or so. The other people have little black wings like they are bad. The boy has white wings tho.

Animals

There are plenty of animals in the world. Most animals are wild animals so you can't really have them as pets. Some wild animals are bears, tigers, lions, monkeys, and snakes! You can have snakes for pets but its not the best idea, because the snake could get out and you could get hurt. The animal that is a pet that almost everyone has is a cat or dog. Some people even have hampsters! I have a cat and two dogs and they are alot to handle. The care for animals is not that bad. Animals always need to be feed and given water, when you have a dog you need to make sure you take it out about every hour to go to the bathroom. Cats go to the bathroom in a litter box so make sure they have one that they can eaisly get to. Also the types of food that your dog eats don't let your cat eat, and don't let the dog eat your cats food, it's best if you put your cats food up higher to were the dog can't get it.

Earth Day!

On Earth Day we do things to help the Earth! You could do a lot of things to help too. You could plant some trees, you could plant trees at school, you house, or at a park. You could also start a garden at school or home. There is a lot of kids that start gardens at their schools! This helps by giving more oxygen in the air! You could always turn off all lights when you leave a room, when you are done playing games make sure you turn them off, this way you save electricity! To save water you can wash dishes by hand, and put a plug so you don't waste water, you could also turn the water off when your in the shower.

Travel

When i travel i want to go around the world! You would get to see many things! When you travel you have to make sure that you have what you need. Like if you were to be traveling in a plane you would need all your luggage and a plane ticket! If you want to travel by car you have to make sure that you have enough money for gas and restaurants and hotels. Traveling is so much fun! You could travel to Paris, or Hawaii, maybe even Alaska, but there are many other places you could go and have fun! It is a lot of fun when you go with family!

Motivation Rewards

Some of the rewards that motivate me are ones like field trips! Field trips are so much fun! We could go many places for rewards. We could go to Six Flags, Elephant Rock, and many more! We could do this for a whole entire day! Elephant Rock would be fun because it is free and you get to climb around on rocks! I have been there before and it is a lot of fun! I can't wait to go back some day! It would be fun to everyone! You get to climb on rocks and we could even have a picnic! All of us could talk to our friends too! We would have a lot of fun!

Ergonomics


Most people have bad habits of no sitting right at the computer. Some of the other habits are holding the phone between your shoulder and head. You don't have to do this. You can use a headset so you don't have to hold it between you head and shoulder! Some people lean over to type and it can ruin your back like that. You need to sit back against the chair and have your elbows at a 90degree angle. The last thing is your eyes, they should always be lined up at the top of the computer and relaxed to were the eyesight is more in the middle of the computer. This will prevent headaches!
