If I could change 3 things in the world I would change...


1. Global warming because it has been a HUGE problem over the years.
2. Garbage in the ocean because people need to realize they are hurting sea life 
and themselves.
3. Violence because people are being hurt and killed due to violent acts such as bombings and shootings.
Thank you and I hope you can help make  a change!

3 poems about volleyball


            Passing                                                  
1. As the ball hits your arms
you feel so alarmed
you know that it's yours
and there is no backing down
         
           Setting
2. The ball is yours
it drops into your hands
then push it out like rubber bands
and you push the ball out,
to the outside hitter
the credit you get is bitter

           Hitting
3. Left, Right, left jump!
The pressure is on 
the cheering is gone
and I jump and hit
and end with the k
ill
the crowd goes wild
while I just smile

Summer Poem

Splashing in the water
Time with your daughter
Dark tans
Dirty vans 
Smiles on faces
After getting summer braces
Just sitting by the pool
Or even on a stool 
While laughing with friends
Until the day finally ends,
But it will always be summer no matter what!:)

How to make my puppy sit?

How do I  make my puppy sit?  Many puppies are not obedient, so you need to bribe them with treats!  
Step 1: Say the word " sit" to your puppy. Then push its bottom down to the ground as if they were sitting. Repeat a few times so they understand what the word "sit" means.
Step 2: Now you take out a treat. Still push the puppy's bottom down. However, give them the treat at the end as a reward. Do this step 3 times so they get the idea that if they sit, they will be rewarded.
Step 3: Repeat the steps until he/she understands how to sit.
Thank you and hope you and your puppy have fun this summer!

Should Kids be allowed to have an Instagram?

Many parents wonder whether or not they should let their kid have Instagram. Most of the parents say yes, and these are some of the reasons why I agree.
                                                        Reasons
1. Kids should be able to share pictures with friends!
What parents think: " It's dangerous because strangers can see everything!"
My Answer: Actually, only your followers can see your photos. Plus, you accept your follower's request. So you can either deny or accept the request.

2. This is just another social media app and this is a way for kids to socialize
What parents think: "There is some bad stuff on Instagram."
My Answer: Just follow the right people, and you won't see anything bad! :)

3. I bet you 20 out of 25 people have an Instagram in my grade. So why shouldn't I?
What parents think: " It is like Facebook and that is for adults."
My answer: INSTAGRAM WAS MADE FOR KIDS!!!!!!! It is not Facebook! All you do is post pictures!!!

In conclusion, you should let your kids have an Instagram. If you don't trust them, you can make an Instagram and look around. If there is anything bad, * cough cough*, WHICH THERE ISN'T, you can take the account away from them. In any case, you can check up on your child to make sure everything is fine. And once you see everything is good, you can let them on their own. Another reason why parents are worried is that once a picture is out there, it is out there forever.  I agree it is.. But to avoid posting anything bad, perhaps a child could ask for permission before posting. These are the solutions to help your child enjoy Instagram.

Acai Bowls were founded recently and have become very popular over the year. Acai is a berry. However, they make that berry into a smoothie and add other ingredients like frozen strawberries and blueberries.  Also, you may top with strawberries, coconut, mango, granola, honey, or blueberries.

Summer Goals

 Suzanne Collins says," Aim higher in case you fall short." In that case, we should all make Summer Goals to stay active, accomplish more, and feel good about your self. These are some of my goals:
                                        Summer Goals
1. Stay active for at least 60 minutes a day

 How I  can accomplish that: In order to accomplish this goal, I will set a personal reminder on my phone that goes off in the morning to remind me to go outside and run around.

2. Take a lot of healthy vitamins 

How I can accomplish that: One simple way I can take a lot of healthy vitamins is when I make my breakfast, I will put the vitamins on the side of my plate so I cannot forget.

3.  Keep my room very organized

How I can accomplish that: Every morning before I leave the house, I will check my room. If it is not clean, I will go back and make sure everything is off of the ground, clothes are put away neatly, and my bed is made.

4. Have a stronger body

How I can accomplish that: I want a stronger body internally and externally. I can make my body stronger internally by eating healthy, eating healthy cleansing foods, and eating a lot of super foods. I can make my body stronger externally by not sitting on the couch like a couch potato.  Instead, I will lift weights while enjoying a T.V show. Also, I want to attend Strength and Conditioning classes to stay healthy and have a strong body.

5. Be nice to my siblings 

 How I can accomplish that: I know I get mad at my siblings a lot. However, I only get in trouble when I do not think about my actions.When I don't think, I do something mean or crazy.  However, I am going to really try and and think before I act.
