Poetry

Poetry  By Amy L I Love I love little tiny dogs Green slimy frogs And trees I love brown fluffy cats Walking through long grass And peas I love dirty pickup trucks Loud baby ducks And I love you Loyal Far above In the gates of heaven Sits a beautiful angel dog He will not play with the angels who Come and go calling  yoo-hoo They call him saying Puppy, puppy come and play But No Says the dog, sitting still For my master will come And when he arrives He will call for me And I will be there So the loyal young pup Waits and then his master comes and calls for him And he’s there, ready to play With His one And only Master Extinct I have no relatives, No family, no home I am alone My sister is a rug, my brother a meal Here I am on the edge of my time When I’m gone I’ll be taken away To be on display in a distant museum in some distant place No more with there be Javan tigers This world was my place to play but now it’s my place to decay

Naomi’s go at the watercolor paper towel DIY

Image
So, I read Amelia’s watercolor paper towel DIY thingy, so I thought, hey! Why don’t I try it as a viewer to check it out? And then I was like, why don’t I post it? So, here we are! Let’s go! Supplies have been gathered: So now I write my word: It was the first word that came to mind! Kind of ironic, though because I am weird, I know, but I don’t like watermelon! Unfold: Retrace: Draw my picture: Kind of lazily,  admit :) Apply water: It’s a video :) Finished product: Like tie-dye??  Mine did not turn out super good, but it was fun and passed the time well. I recommend for sure - and - take more time on your drawing! Maybe the words are not necessary, but for those art geeks who can accomplish this and make it look like a work of art, you could probably pull off a really cool tie-dye design 😀😀 Keep living life random! I hope you enjoyed this post! Comment down below if you have post suggestions on any of these  *also, DAD LABS h

How to make cool water/paper towel art

Image
In this craft, you will be doing a cool paper towel craft. You will need a paper towel, a plate full of water, markers, a sharpie, and a clipboard of some kind. First, fold the paper towel in half. Then, on one side right a word of your choice in sharpie. Unfold and trace the word on the other side. Next, draw whatever you feel like! **sorry for the * terrible UFO** Fold it back over and place it in the water It will go pretty quickly but it is so cool *mine didn’t turn out that well, but I sort of rushed...* I suggest not using Crayola markers, as they smear very quickly, and waiting about five minutes before putting it in the water. Keep  Living Life  Random 😁 Amelia

The Writing Prompts That You’ve Been Looking For

Picture this: You are stuck at home during a crazy pandemic and you want to write, well you want to do ANYTHING really, but specifically write. You are braindead from watching so much Disney+ that you can't think of anything more effective to do than sleep. Your teachers haven't given you anything to do yet because you are technically on spring break, but you can't go to the mall, or the movies, or Starbucks or your favorite restaurant. The most exciting thing you've done all week has been going to the store to get some veggies. You hate veggies. The store is right across the road from you. You can't sleep well because there is a creature called a SIBLING doing what sounds like riding elephants in their room. Sounds a lot like most all of us right now, although maybe not all of us have siblings (woah I’m imagining 😍). ANYWAY, you are braindead and you need an escape, or just SOMETHING to do! We are here to help you write an amazing story using these rad, homemade

Top Ten -- What books should I read next?

As we get into the habit of isolation and not touching anyone or anything, we mostly just sit on our couch to watch TV. You may not know this, but reading and playing outside is actually better for your health; Coronavirus or no. *Joking, that's a well-known fact, however, most people seem to ignore it*. But back to the point, looking for books is why you came, so let's get started. (PLEASE keep in mind that we have not read all of these books and some of them might be inappropriate or scary; we do not necessarily recommend these books, we just want to give you ideas!) FAVORITES OF THE POPULATION - 1. The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien - 150 million copies sold 2. Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone - JK Rowling - 107 million copies sold 3. The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe - CS Lewis - 85 million copies sold 4. Charlottes Web - E.B. White - 50 million copies sold 5. Black Beauty (if you appreciate the classics) - Anna Sewell - 50 million copies sold 6. The Hu

Did The Movie Tangled Predict The Coronavirus?

       As the coronavirus spreads and more and more people sink into isolation, the unusual measures have reminded some people of a similar situation; which took place in Disney's 'Tangled'. As everyone binge watches all of the old movies, many have noticed a peculiar fact.        In Tangled, Rapunzel is trapped in a tower (or quarantined), hidden away from the kingdom nam ed Corona, and one of the main plot points is the queen of Corona getting sick.  Rapunzel also sings multiple songs about being isolated, where her dream is to be free from her tower, or in our case free from our homes.         Do with this information what you will.

Things To Ponder

Whether you are stuck at home in self-quarantine or just bored around the house, these things to ponder will surely keep you busy thinking throughout the day. 1. If you clean the vacuum, are you the vacuum cleaner? 2. If you spill laundry detergent on the floor, is it cleaner or dirtier? 3. How come quicksand works slowly? 4.  Tell a man there are 4 billion stars and he will believe you. If you tell him a bench has wet paint, he has to touch it. 5. How does a building burn up as it burns down? 6. Does lightning McQueen have car insurance or health insurance? 7. Why do we wait until the pig is dead to ‘cure’ it? 8. Is venom more or less venomous when it passes its expiration date? 9. How much deeper would the ocean be if ‘sponges’ didn’t grow in it? 10. How does your bath towel get dirty if you are clean when you get out of the shower/bath? 11. Should vegetarians eat animal crackers? 12. Why do we drive in the parkway and park in the driveway? 13. If you choke a smurf, wh

I'm Bored---The Coronavirus

Let's face it, the coronavirus is scary. It's weird. And, we don't have all the answers. As of today, March 23, when Amelia is writing this, it's just starting to seem real. People are saying that school's going to be canceled for the whole year! So, instead of giving you a bunch of facts that could change within the day, I will give you ways to forget the facts for a while and make use of the extra time! Get in shape! No better way to forget your worries than to work out. All you have to do is squats. Just do enough squats (making sure you can see your feet) until your quads (top part of the leg) start to burn a little bit. Do this every day as a way to get your legs stronger. Do one of our crafts! Almost all of our DIYs you can make from stuff in your house, so you don't have to go to a store! And, if the craft challenges you, it will help you forget your worries.  Do a puzzle. I know this sounds sort of boring, but if it's a hard enough puzzle,

How To Write An Argumentative Essay

Introduction Paragraph Introduce your topic with a hook or an attention grabber of some kind.  This can be a quote, an interesting fact or statement about the topic you are writing about, a statistic, or an anecdote (that’s a very short story).  Give some background on the topic you are writing about (topic sentence). List the three points you are going to make (your three reasons you feel the way you do about the topic).  This should not all be crammed into one sentence End with your thesis -- that's your main argument/claim in one well-written sentence (issue + position = precise claim = thesis statement) .  Body Paragraphs (You will have THREE of these paragraphs, one for each reason) Topic Sentence -- state your reason Share your evidence (quote or statistic) and add a CITATION EXPLAIN the evidence and why it is important One way to do this is by summarizing the evidence/putting it into your own words Share another piece of evidenc

The Notorious RBG

      Have you ever realized how girls are perceived? Have you ever noticed how boys are thought of as sporty and athletic and girls are thought of as cute and fragile? Have you ever realized that girls aren’t in the major leagues for baseball? That only men play football in big stadiums? What about in politics? Women may be allowed to vote now, but look at how hard they had to fight to get to where they are! Girls have only been allowed to vote for about 100 years. Men have been allowed to vote for about 230 years. The USA has never had a female president, and in 2019, women hold 127, or 23.7%, of the 535 seats in the 116th U.S. Congress; 25, or 25.0%, of the 100 seats in the Senate and 102, or 23.4%, of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives. The rest are taken by men. Ruth Bader Ginsberg is an example of someone who had a terrible and unfair time just because she is a woman.       Ruth Bader Ginsberg is a United States Supreme Court Justice, and the second woman to be appoin
