What is one thing you would take with you to a dessert island? This is the question I asked you guys last month, and I’d like to share the results with you. I just want to give a big thank you to the 8 people who actually took my poll, it was very interesting to see what you guys would bring. Whoever wanted to bring a boat is a GENIUS, and great job.

Step 1: Get a Book
In order to read a book, you need to find a book first. You could find one in your house, borrow from a friend, or get one from your closest library.
Step 2: Find Time To Read
Reading a book takes time, so clear out your schedule a bit.
Step 3: Sit Down With Your Book.
Find a nice quiet room with a comfy seat with enough light to read, and relax.
Step 4: Look At The Book
Hold the book so the title is facing you. Don’t get confused which side to look at, the title usually is in big, fancy letters with someone’s name below it.
Step 5. Read The Title
Now that you’ve found the title, read it like you’re reading this How To post. You can either read the title aloud, or in your head. What matters is you read it.
Step 6. Open The Book
It’s sort of hard to explain how to open a book, so I hope you already know how to do that. Here is a picture to explain
Step 7. Get To The First Page
The first page usually has a “Chapter One” at the top of the page. Similar to the title, read the book like you are reading this post. After you’ve read the first page, turn it to the next, and the next, and so on until the book is finished.
Okay, so nobody answered my question if I should keep doing book reviews, so I’m going to keep doing them until someone asks me to stop.
The book is called “New Kid” and it is by Jerry Craft. This is a very quick read and I finished it in one afternoon. Here’s the summary from amazon:
“Seventh grader Jordan Banks loves nothing more than drawing cartoons about his life. But instead of sending him to the art school of his dreams, his parents enroll him in a prestigious private school known for its academics, where Jordan is one of the few kids of color in his entire grade.
As he makes the daily trip from his Washington Heights apartment to the upscale Riverdale Academy Day School, Jordan soon finds himself torn between two worlds—and not really fitting into either one. Can Jordan learn to navigate his new school culture while keeping his neighborhood friends and staying true to himself?”
This book isn’t my favorite, but it has received an award, so I still recommend this book.
Hello, and good morning! Today, I decided to do a book review on a book I’ve recently finished, and fell in love with! The book is called “Counting to Perfect” and it is by Suzanne LaFleur. This book is perfect if you’re looking for a quick read. The summary on amazon says, “Cassie, competitive swimmer and rising seventh grader, plans to spend her summer at the pool with her friends. That way she won’t be stuck at home with her sister and her sister’s baby.
Julia used to be the perfect big sister: she played great games and took good care of Cassie. Now life at home revolves around Julia and her daughter, Addie. No one pays much attention to Cassie–not to her swimming, and not to what’s gone wrong with her friends.
When Julia confides in Cassie that she’ll be leaving with Addie–without telling their parents–Cassie jumps in the car, too. As the days of lumberjack breakfasts and hotel pools start to add up, Cassie has to wonder: Could the sister who seems to be the source of all her problems also be the friend she’s missed the most?”
I strongly recommend this book, and hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
Question: Should I do more Book Reviews?
Step 1. Find the Spider
With spring around the corner, spiders could be anywhere! In the shower, your bed, a shoe, anywhere. It doesn’t matter where the spider is, just find it.
Step 2. Don’t Move
If you run from the room screaming, when you come back, the spider might be in another unpleasant place. Once you find a spider, stay there.
Step 3. Find a Weapon
You could technically kill a spider with almost anything, which is convenient because spiders are everywhere. I think the best weapon to kill a spider with is a shoe, but it could be whatever you have by you. (actual weapons are not recommended)
Step 4. HURRY UP! The Spider’s moving!
Grab your weapon and hold eye contact with one of the spider’s many, many eyes.
Step 5. Calm Down.
Take a deep breath. You got this.
Step 6. Kill it
Push your weapon towards the hairy spider with many legs. Squash that spider as hard as you can, and try to ignore the crunch or splat of the spider.
Step 7. Congratulations!
You have killed a spider! You should feel good about it. You are officially a spider conquerer. Now go clean the spider guts off of the wall. 🙂
Step 8. Enjoy These Pictures That Are Required for This Post
A few months ago, I went to Mexico for thanksgiving. We went to the Secret Beach Villas in Cancun. The food was incredible! I loved the tacos, but the mac and cheese wasn’t my favorite. In the back yard was a pool, and the ocean! I spent 90% of my time in the water with my cousin Natalie. We would come up with fun games and go boogie boarding. When we weren’t at the beach, we were playing with rainbow loom. We made hundreds of bracelets, and a few pineapples. On thanksgiving day, we were waiting for a ride to bring us to the airport, and we saw a crocodile! It was incredible how close I was to it. But then the car came to pick us up and our thanksgiving “feast” was 1 slice of pizza and a bit of salad. All in all, it was a great trip, and I would definitely go back.
Today is Friday, so that means I have online school. It is sort of fun because I don’t have to do school work as long, but I don’t really like it because I have to stare at a screen for hours at a time. Today, I hope to go to Swig. Recently, I have received two Swig gift cards, and really want to use them. My family doesn’t like soda very much, so I never really go there. Which means, going today would be a very special treat.
This morning, I took my dog on the trampoline in our back yard, just to see what she thought. She kept holding still in a tense position like the floor of the trampoline was going to collapse beneath her. It was hilarious! Eventually, I just picked her up and held her like a baby while gently bouncing, and she stared at me with wide eyes.
Since this blog is mostly about me, I thought it would be fun to get to know a bit about you! Here’s a quick poll.
These are my 10 most favorite things (not in order)

Hi! This is my first blog post for school. I’m learning how to add pictures and links to my post. I decided to do a picture of my favorite candy.
I love Rolos!
One of my favorite websites to go to is Tetris. I spend a lot of my free time on there. You can visit the website here.
