I had so much fun doing the Friday writing with Haultain and reading the comments. I hope I made some new friends. I loved writing comments as well. I hope the students from Haultain keep in touch over the summer!!

Calvin&Hobbs singing and having fun because it's summer break!!

Well I'd like to go to Terrace BC to visit my grandma and grandpa Hamilton and all my aunts and uncles if I could take someone with me it would be my 5 best friends True,Cynthia,Matt,Chanse, and Jazmine because there fun to be with and I'd like to share the fun and excitment with them!!

The problems facing the earth are to much garbage which is causing Global Warming and less Air Quality by humans polluting and dumping garbage in to the Oceans we’re killing all the seas and the fish which provide us with food people think that because the oceans are so big it won’t matter if we dump garbage in to the sea. News flash it does and we kill all the animals in the sea as well like Dolphins, Grey Whales, salmon and other fish we love. We are also wasting our recourses like paper, trees for buildings, fish from the oceans stuff like that is what we need to improve so we have lots of it left and we still have earth we need to stop littering, recycle, reduce, reuse, stuff like that or we might not have the planet earth in the future!

I celebrate Earth Day by going to the park with my friends and picking up trash to help keep the environment clean!!

A Laptop is so cool if it was a person or animal it would be the smartest thing on the planet because it holds all the knowledge !! For a days work it would look up what ever we need!! Now thats cool!

Hey I found the perfect place for a vacation we can go watch the Iditarod I have 10 really good reasons why we should go there instead of some boring museum.

10-I hate museums
9- It looks like fun
8- Its not Disney land
7- It can teach me everything like history, geography, weather, distance, and rubrics
6-it will teach me how to take care of dogs
5- It will make a great vacation
4-it’s going to be really fun
3- Its going to teach me how to take care of my self in the wilderness
2- It will be great it’s far away
1-and its educational (did I say that already?)

That’s why I think we should go and I did some research on it and here’s what I got.

The Iditarod is a race from Nenana to Nome here’s a time line.

1900-1940- mail hauled by dog sled
1925-Serum run (Nenana-Nome) 647 miles
1946- The fur rendezvous world championship dog sled race 25 miles a day for several days
1946-The open North American dog sled race
1967-Two short races
1972- Sled racing Alaska state sport
1973- First race to Nome

The first race wasn’t a race at all in fact it was a race against time a dog team had to race to Nome for the children of Nenana because the were getting sick on the way back from the trip they got lost. But thankfully a dog named Bolto helped them get back just in time so most of the children were saved and here’s another little clip to tell more about it.

. In 1925 Nome needed medicine for the children because almost all children had a disease called diphtheria. Diphtheria is a deathly disease the symptoms are coughing and fevers. At first they tried to send it by ship but the ship got caught in the ice and couldn’t get though so they tried sending it by plane. The plane was grounded because of the storm and so the train was there last hope so when the train got to Nenanan the team of dogs were waiting for the medicine. On there way back the storm got them lost. So a dog by the name of Balto when to find them on his own when he found them he led them back home and got the medicine there just in time for the children.
