Wealthy "Hobbit" Characters

All the characters in "The Hobbit" have different opinions of the greatness of wealth.  Gandalf doesn't think high on the matter, but if he deserves it and he doesn't get any, then he'll mention it.  Bilbo probably wouldn't go on an epic adventure for wealth, would he?  Bilbo would probably like to stay in his hobbit hole and eat toast, butter, eggs,  and bacon with his tea just boiling!  Thorin Oakansheild doesn't care about wealth, he just wants it for his people.  The Wood Elf Kingdom wants more money because the king wants more money.  Smaug loves wealth.  Smaug will go WAY out of his way to get treasure.  He's really not that smart because he can't even buy anything at all.  He doesn't even have to pay on his morgage!  They realy all have different opinions about money!

Ancient Roman Mealtime

Rich hosts would display their wealth by having expensive meals.  Some dining rooms had mosaics showing scraps of food. Sometimes the host would present entertainment.  They would have musicians, acrobats, dancers, jugglers, conjurers, and poets for entertainment.  For dessert, Romans ate stuffed dates. Dinner had three courses.  Slaves would wipe the guests' hands between courses.
Poor Romans didn't even have a kitchen because they lived in the top floors of apartments.  They can't have a woodburning stove because the apartment is also made out of wood.  They would visit a tavern like you would a restaurant!

Ancient Roman Structures


Some Roman structures are even better than the ones we have today. 

Roman roads are beautiful!  Romans were the first people to use concrete.  They realized that mixing volcanic ash, water, and lime gets you concrete after it dries.  The Appian Way is a speical road that connects Rome and cities in Italy.

Rome didn't just build roads.  They made aqueducts that would help make water travel to a city or cities.  Romans also built apartments that weren't fit for living by today's standards because they could collapse any second!  Their apartments were made of concrete and wood.  Some of the larger buildings are still standing today.

Grendel Goes to Wal-Mart

One day, in a bog,  Grendel ate his breakfast.  Later he said to his dad, "I'm tired of cooked mortal meat EVERY day!  We should get some raw!"

Then his dad said, "Fine, then we go shopping!" So they left Grendel's mom home and went on foot to Wal-Mart.  Grendel asked his dad if he could eat a customer while his dad shopped. Dad thought and said, "If the manager is not watching and only one."  He also warned Grendel to wash his hands after he ate because Mom doesn't like blood on her carpet.

Well, something came on the news at Grendel's home while they were out.  The news reporters were speaking of a missing customer.  They talked about some bones on the floor and they say it may be some evidence for us wise reporters and detectives.  

Grendel's mom panicked.  "My poor innocent Grendel is at that store!"  She drove like a speeder to the Wal-Mart parking lot.   In her hurry, she forgot to dress up and she only had her underwear on.  When she got out of the car, some customers just ignored her thinking that she was a crazy person. 

She ran into the store and took a look at the evidence.  She saw no claws, so she reasoned that Grendel just ate another customer.  She went looking for Grendel and his dad. She eventually found Grendel's dad alone with a worried look on his face.  She yelled, "What's going on?!"

"Grendel is on an Easter hunt," he said.  "He is hoping to get a big chocolate bunny for dessert."

"Ok, let's get out of here, then," she said.  They found Grendel eating the bunny without checking it out.  They put the bunny back on the shelf half-eaten.  Then they got a new one and checked out.

Another Whole School Year

Baikenman: Hey, guess what? First of all, I have the most annoying classmate. And on top of that I have a man-eating teacher! I know you are lucky to stay alive this year! Anyway, here is what my school year is like.

On the first day, Anpanman, the most annoying classmate, went to the bathroom. While he was gone, Pooh-Bear, the man-eating beast (Oh, did I say beast? I meant to say teacher.), was demonstrating how to eat at the cafeteria and ... well, you can guess what happened.

Anpanman came back and asked, "What did I miss?" I replied by saying, "A lot."

Later at the cafeteria they served us raw meat! So I learned to pack my own lunch. Then for social studies we had to play out "Theseus and the Minotaur." When "Theseus" went to the Minotaur, the teacher ate Theseus (because the teacher was the Minotaur.) Then all the students said, "That's not how the story went!"

Pooh-Bear said, "Sorry, I couldn't resist."

Baikenman: So that's just the beginning of my terrible school year. I'll remember to pack my lunch tomorrow and hope that I'm not the next victim.

My Monroi

My Monroi is awesome. Instead of notating on paper, you do it on a screen. To begin, press "record." You then write your opponent's name and you say if you're white or black. Then tap the chess piece that you want to move lightly and tap the square you want to move to. After the game, press the 1/2 button and tell the right results and your opponent signs, you sign, and then the arbiter signs. If there is no arbiter, draw 'not real.' Then go to the database and review your game! I hope you'll buy one.

USCF Tournaments

There are some things you need to know about USCF tournaments. You should go because you learn from your games, have fun, and meet new people. And your rating could go up if you win games.

And you should expect no nasty comments because their game could be forfeited. You must take notation. You must not cheat. There will be a chess clock and a tournament board. Both kids and adults play. Age does not matter. I hope you follow the rules of the USCF tournament and have a good time.

The Nile Garden




We (Mom and Emperor) planted 3 kinds of seeds in the Model of Egypt. Do you see the grass? That grew in a week! The water in the tin foil is the Nile River. The thing in the top-left corner is a pyramid. The farmers are lego men. Every week we flood it, but in real life it flooded every year.

Play-Doh Art


Hi! Now, look at the three ancient, ancient, and Egyptian figures. The Egyptian house is 2-d,not 3-d. It's ancient, don't touch it, WAIT, you can't! Can you read the tablet? I can't. (if you can, for your comment, you could tell me what it says.)And the swordsman is me! Don't I look good? Huh? Maybe not. I am learning about irrigation. Irrigation is when they dig trenches for water to go through. In between the trenches there are rows of plants.

A Pretend Apology

Dear Mr. D,

I'm sorry for putting your marriage ring down the toilet with your wallet. And that flushed it down and that only they went down. And also that it overflowed and flooded the entire bathroom. All this happened because I was Mr.Hyde. It was an accident. I hope you will forgive me. And I hope we understand one another.

Sincerely,
Dr.Jeckle

The Introduction

In a place long ago, there was a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins of the shire. Sometimes, Gandalf a wizard, comes to see the place. But most of the time he was visiting his great friend, Sorumon. Gandalf and Sorumon both sensed evil. Gandalf and Sorumon were wizards. Now, Bilbo never got angry with Frodo. Frodo and Bilbo had the same birthday. There were a few friends of Frodo's named:Sam,Pippen,and Merry. Pippen and Merry were clumsy. Sam was basically a planter or a fielder.

Sam's Story

Sam was on a sofa when there was a terrible scream. Then Sam dashed to the room and saw there was nothing wrong. Sitting there were 5 babies next to Rosy (Sams wife.) Then he said "well I never"!



Then he started to pace around the room and then he named two Mary and Pippen,two he named Frodo and Sam, and the last,he dicided to name the last Bilbo just like Frodo had prophisied In the end of The Lord of The Rings.



Rosy had a terrible stab. That whole day Sam was occupied. Rosy was slicing tomatos when the knife accedentilly went right through the table and cut her leg. Her leg needed speical care. Then Sam saw the tomatoes and brought them to Rosy.Then Rosy got up and..."Look" Rosy said (but half screaming.) There lay Sauron's finger. "Ew!?" Exclaimed Sam. So he kept it in a box to remember the war for the ring of power. When his kids were 15 years old, they went out every day. But,one day they didn't come back. Sam waited and waited but they did not come back. Eventually they came back and Sam asked "What took you guys so long"? Soon beside them were Legolas and Gimlee,who went away a long time ago! "May we have your book asked Legolos?" "Yes" replied Sam.

How to Make Your Own Polish Pottery


First you decide on your design. Then, you paint it on paper plates. Make sure it is symmetrical. Then, get the dots you missed (if any). Trust me, you will make mistakes. Look at the picture of my Polish pottery. I used sponges and brushes to paint my paper plates. I made a Pac-Man design and the one on the right is a water and fire design. Click here to learn about Polish pottery.
