Question: If you were to give your mother a day with no housework, what things would you do to help out?

Answer by Jordan: If there was no work for one day I would help with the baby and help with my brothers with their home work and school work. If there were school that day I would go to school and get the work I had to get done that day. I would probably get my homework done and then play for the rest of the day. It would be fun and you should always do some work even if you don’t want to do it.

Question: Garber's kites were not only used for target practice; they were also used to carry important papers from ship to aircraft. In what other ways might a kite be used as a tool rather than a toy?

Answer by Jeffrey: Garber kites can also be a warning sign to airplanes. They can let pilots know they are in a restricted area. It can let people know that they are near a certain area. It could be used as an explosive device. You could probably use a kite for the armed forces. You could probably attach a camera to it. It could take pictures from the kite. They could camouflage it to blend in with its surroundings. So the Garber Kite could be used for the army. I think you could put some together to make a bigger kite to send letters to and from the planes in the sky. You could have kite shows. You could do all kinds of things with kites. Kites are the coolest things ever made.

IMO by Jordan

I think girls should wear makeup. The reason is so they know they are pretty. I also think girls should not put so much of it on because it doesn't look that cool with goo gobs of it on your face. Girls only need makeup when they are going somewhere or somebody is coming over. It is fun putting makeup on, that is one reason why I like being a girl. Some models on TV have so much makeup on they don't look attractive. You should always put just a little bit on. Check out Jeffrey's opinion at 10th Grade Big Dawgs

My Birthday

April 1st was my birthday and it was so fun. The reason why it was fun was because I got the gifts I wanted. I also got to have the day off from school. I got to play my favorite game. I had chocolate cake and cotton candy ice cream. I am now eleven years old. I got a lot of cool stuff. I got a remote control car, a Hannah Montana marker set, brats doll hair shop set, MP 4 player and a gift card and one more gift coming. I had a fun birthday.

In My Opinion by Jordan

My favorite book series is The Diary Of The Wimpy Kid. I like this series because it is funny and it can keep me busy. I would recommend this book to people that like funny books. I got an Amazon Gift card for my birthday and my mom ordered the series for me. I really hope I can keep them in good shape. I really hope I like the books.

In My Opinion by Jordan

I help to take care of a baby. His name is Littlest Rottie*. He is three months old. He is so sweet and loves to watch TV. He loves to eat and loves to get tickled. He eats eight ounces in the morning because he sleeps twelve hours at night. He is Caucasian with blue eyes. He loves to stand up and is trying to roll over. He wears size two diapers. He is a foster kid. I hope he finds a good family that loves him and takes care of him. I hope he always remembers us.

In my Opinion by Jeffrey

When I grow up I am going to open my own detail shop. When I turn eighteen I am going to college. I am going to take a business course. I am also going to study about automobiles. I want to design new hybrid cars for the future. I want to trick out old school cars for a living. You can see some of my designs at 10th Grade Big Dawgs.
