Hi!
Just came back from an 8-mile bike ride with my family. It was very beautiful outside, and I got to ride my new road bike. So that was pretty fun!

Perhaps when you are thinking about your fiction story, a long bike ride is part of it! I think the reason no one is posting is because I haven't assigned it yet! Way to be the first one!-Ms. Schwieters

Today, right after school, I had to get bands on my braces..... Oh, and to those who are wondering what they are like.... Um, lets just say that I'm kinda glad that nobody else has them. Because, they HURT like, really badly.
But on the bright side, my dad just came home with the movie Avatar in his hands because my brother was "Asking for it nicely." But I'm glad that I didn't have to do all the work in getting it. :)

Sometimes 'annoying' brothers can be a good thing!!
Date: 5/4/10 I'm writing about my fiction ideas!
Whenever I visit my Baachan and Jiichan (Grandma and grandpa)
I always listen to stories about how Jiichan was in the world war two. So I think that I'm going to do a realistic fiction story about world war two!!!!!!!
-Silly Pig
That sounds so interesting! A way to merge a family memory with a realistic fiction twist. Historical fiction!- Hope you had a great birthday. Ms. Schwieters
Thank you Ms. Schwieters; I did have a great birthday!

I wish there were more books about:
People on swim teams
Girls and their pet pigs
Swimming
Japanese concentration camps
-Silly Pig
Oh my gosh!
I'm watching Unwrapped on the Food network, and it's about how they make Cheeze-its, and oh my gosh I'm getting so hungry!!!!!!!!!!
-Silly Pig
I really should watch more on the Food Network. Your ideas about books look interesting. I like the pig one:) -Ms. Schwieters
Trust me. I watch a lot of Food network; my parents are OBSESSED and that's why I am really glad we have two TVs
Date: 5/6/10
Issues I could write about:
Brothers that punch you for no apparent reason
Mothers that annoy their daughters
Racist people
Girls that get grounded for over a month
Boredom at school
Terrible teaching methods at schools
-Silly Pig :@)
More great ideas. You can mix some of these together and get a great story! -Ms. Schwieters
Thanks! I personally think that the Brother thing is a very good Idea!! :@)
Date: 5/7/10 The idea that I am going †o write about: World war two.
At my house, I have a page of one of my Jiichan's (Grandpa) stories about his experience about wold war two. It's not a story with any detail, so I think I'm going to just have his story as a reference; I'll change his name, and make it so that it is a modified version.
-Silly Pig :@)
Date: 5/8/10
Guess what? I only have 11 more days of waiting for Baachan and Jiichan (Grandma and grandpa) to come and visit from California! I'm so excited to see them. I'm also excited because we're going to celebrate my birthday with them. Baachan said that she would get some Harajuku Lovers stuff for my birthday. I love Harajuku stuff!!!
-Silly Pig :@)
Are you sure there isn't any detail, perhaps your Jiichan can tell you some details- Have fun-Ms. Schwieters
Well, I was thinking that even though there isn't any detail in Jiichan's story, then I could make it more of my own. But yeah, I will definitely ask him about it. - Silly Pig :@)
Keep going. I want to know more about Ichiro! Tell me everything!-Ms Schwieters
