Zachary's Weblog

Homeschool is...

     Well, homeschooling was fun. I was homeschooled for 2 years before I went into public school again. It was fun, first of all I could sleep from 9:00 PM to 11:00 AM. I only had to go to school for 4 1\2 hours, while most schools just have 6 or 8 hours. And I would wake up in school, not having to get up so stressed and I could work in my pajamas. It was quite fun. 

      The thing though is that my mom and me didn't get along very well. I somehow believe that was my fault but I'm not getting that far in the story. I also quit homeschool because I thought I was putting my mom through major stress. But I'm looking to the bright side about it. I get to do weblogs, chorus, and eat cafeteria pizza!  

      People are also saying that homeschooling should not be allowed. I give a giant BOO to that. People should have the right to choose where they want to get their education at. But I think it is a good idea people are going to start checking homes to see if kids are getting their educational needs.

     People say it is bad for other kids to be homeschooled because they can't interact with other kids. That's kinda dumb because kids that are homeschooled can still interact with other kids.

     I kind of miss homeschool but I have no clue what awaits me in middle school next year! I might go back in homeschool but I might stay in public school. Well see you later.

Something’s Fishy

       Do you own a fish? I used to but he died. Anyway, Albert Einstein, a calico fantail is not an ordinary family goldfish. He has learned to swim through tubes and hoops, take food from his owner’s hand and put a mini soccer ball into a goal! I was amazed when I heard this. It made me want to get another goldfish right away!

      This started when Kyle Pomerleau, age 9, won two goldfish at a school fair. He soon noticed that the fish would react to his movements when he came close to the tank. Pomerleau wondered if they were smarter than he had realized. 

      Kyle and his father, Dean Pomerleau wanted to test if Albert was a smart goldfish, so they started by getting a finger soccer set and put weights on the bottom of the goal. 

      They then gave Albert treats every time he swam to the goal. Then Kyle and his dad tossed in another step-ball handling. 

Well if you want to teach a goldfish how to do tricks. Start it now!

Would you like to teach a fish tricks? Why? If you was to teach fish tricks, which tricks would you decide? Try to demonstrate the tricks you would practice with your fish.

Revision is Awesome

      We are revising our first posts we made. I hope you think they are good.                                                                                                                                    

      Hello, my name is Zachary. I am older than most of my friends, but I sure don’t look like a pre-teen. I live sort of in the woods, around more houses; I think my best friends Alex, Jason, Derrick, and DEFINITELY Richard are really cool!                                                

      I am glad I was chosen as one of the Web Writers, and I love writing. It is a new experience to be back in school. I used to go to home school, it was fun! First of all, you get to sleep all you want before you get up. I usually got up around 11:00 AM! Also, you don't have to do school for 6 hours while your home-schooled! You only have to do school for four and a half hours!                                                                                                             

      The bad news is, I argued with my mom a lot. I didn't do homeschool anymore because I didn't want to put my mom through anymore stress. I also wanted to live my last year in elementary school in public school. Nobody used to like me except the kids in my weblog class, but I have lots of friends now!

      I have two best friends that don’t call me names. They are Jason and Derrick! But thanks to weblogging, “Weblog Zachary” has ROCKED! YEAH!!!!!! 

      

Well that was the revised version of "Zack's Awesome Introduction" and I hoped you liked it.

The Crazy Box

      Do you like funny stories? Well if you do, this is the right blog for you. If not, you'd better run now. This story is so crazy, it will probably make you laugh for the rest of your life. We went to the website Wacky Web Tales and typed in reasonable words and clicked a button, and then we found our wacky web tale.

The Box

The doorbell rang. Jason and Taylor raced to the door. There on the doorstep was an enormous, crazy box. What could be inside? They slowly hoisted the box into the game room. Taylor firmly put her arm close to the box. She thought she heard a voice whisper, “Cool!!”

“Hurry. Open the box!” screamed Jason. To their amazement, Jim Carrey leaped out of the box and started singing “Twist.” There was nothing else to do but sing along. 

      Well that is it, if you are not laughing you probably like funny stories. If you are, go see a doctor (just kidding, hee, hee)!
