The Perfect Summer Vacation

By: Brooklyn

On my summer vacation we are going to Virginia Beach. I've been there before. This might be the 3rd time we have been there. Every time we go there, I eat my breakfast of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and a quarter of a cinnamon roll with a side of either pineapple or watermelon.

Then we go out to boogie board on the awesome waves. The water is usually cold and refreshing. We also float around on the small orange blow up boat. On the boat, we jump off and do a crazy cannon ball. We sometimes name the cannon balls funny names like “The Big One” and “Lots of Splashes” and things like that.

Once we are done swimming, we go somewhere to eat ( usually we eat pizza ). Then we go take a walk on the beach and watch the sunset. I love going to Virginia! What is your favorite place to go for the summer?

A Real Life Crazy Summer Vacation

By: Elizabeth

The craziest summer vacation I am going to tell you about is when I was in my camp, Camp RKD. It all started when I went to the beach. I was on my way with my friends. We were walking one day, when we saw a very big and steep hill. My friends and I decided to climb it, then run down. If we tripped or fell we would fall on sand, so we wouldn’t get hurt. We climbed the very big and steep hill. Once we got on top of it, we saw that we were super high up, but we went down it any way. I was the last one to go down the hill. When I went down the hill I tripped, slipped, and fell down that hill. While I fell down the hill, I rolled and rolled, and then when I got to the bottom I stood up and fell again because I was so tired and dizzy. After that, everyone laughed,even me. Then all us went back to our camp and went to sleep immediately.

What is the craziest summer vacation you have ever had?

My Perfect Summer

By: Eden

If I could plan my vacation it would be perfect. I would go to Hawaii and rent a beach house. We would go swimming and surfing every day but I would have to learn how to surf. I would have to bring my dog and cats, too. After we go swimming, we would get ice cream. I would get mint, my mom would get banana, my dad would get vanilla, Cora would get birthday cake, and Ivy would get superman. After that, we would go home to our beach house and watch Home the movie and have popcorn and candy.

In the morning we would get packed to go home.We would get 5 tickets to the airport and go to our real home.    What will you do on your summer vacation?

Problem Solvers: Problems with Gaming

By: Oliver

This is not a commercial.  You do not need to introduce yourself.  Just clearly state your problem.  

Now first things first, how are these kinds of games made like this? This mostly happens when christmas is around the corner and they want to get it what is “it?”out fast. They're not thinking about how the finished game this doesn’t make sense. Now lets move on to the next problem, the story of the game.Mostly the stories in these kinds of games have many things left out of the story that will make it more interesting, like a new villan, new heros and things like that. The last problem is they take away old things that people liked  For example, character traits, old power ups and characters are things that often get changed or removed. I think video games can be fun, but it takes a long time to make one, so keep these things in mind when you're making your very own game.

Problem Solvers: We Make Trash Cans for a Reason

By: Andrew

I’m going to be talking about one of the biggest problem in our community...pollution. People don’t think pollution is that bad, some people don’t care about pollution at all, but they don’t see what they’re doing to the environment around us. Those people don’t see what it does to our lives. Pollution can cause problems like making it hard to breath. Polluting is bad for wildlife, it makes our plants sick or unhealthy, and unhealthy plants don’t produce good fruit. So if you or someone you know pollutes, remember it’s not doing you any good. Do you or someone you know pollute? If so are you trying to prevent it?

Problem Solvers: Stop Pollution

By: Jared

I think people should stop pollution all around the world. I think people especially should stop throwing thing in the Great Lakes because if you throw oil in the lake you might kill the fish in the Great Lakes and destroy Michigan’s  territory.What is another reason?  Do you think pollution should be stopped?
