I look forward to reading your poem soon! ~Mrs. Hanlon __Madison Capital__ By: Trevor Weiss On March 12, 2011 on a Friday my dad picked up my sister and I after school and took us to his house to start packing to go to my uncle’s house in Madison. We are going to Madison so we can go to the capital to protest. My dad wanted my sister and me to know what it is like to be at the capital with all the stuff going on. It took about and hour and twenty minutes to get there. We slept by my uncles house that night so we could get a fresh start in the morning. The next day we were heading out t leave at 9:00 in the morning, first we went to McDonalds for break feast then we picked up my uncles friend. When we got to the capital we parked inside the bottom of a building with the other cars. We had to walk up a lot of stairs to get outside. My sister and I wanted to go inside the capital first, so we did. When I was in the capital everybody had to get a security check to make sure no one had any weapons. I was in the capital walking around looking at the Liberty bell and statues on the ground and up stairs. I took a lot of pictures of the statues and I think it was fun for my dad because it was his first time he ever went to the capital. When I went outside I could get free signs, note cards, and pins to hold up and walk around with, I didn’t really hold the signs though. There was a big parade of 100 tractors with a lot of sizes and colors. I just sat on the curb watching because it was cold and windy, and the only thing I was doing was recording and taking pictures waiting until the parade was over. Then my uncle called a few of his friends to see if they would come down, so they did. Every body was pretty hungry so we went out to eat. While we were walking the taxis and other cars were beeping the whole time. It took 45 minutes to get are food because it was packed with people. So we just sat and talked until we got are food. I was just taking pictures of people eating there food and when they were walking outside. The only thing I got to eat is a pretzel, some fries, and Coca Cola, it actually filled me up. My uncle’s friends had to go home after we got done eating. We were outside standing listening to the fourteen delegates talk, there were over 100,000 people there that day! We decided to head back home so we wouldn’t be stuck in the traffic. We got back to my uncles house and were thinking if we should stay by my uncle’s house one more night or if we should go back to my dad’s house. I and my sister wanted to stay, but my dad said no. I will never forget the day I went to the capital to protest.

Thanksgiving I think thanksgiving is the best holiday because I get to go by my grandma and grandpas house in Ferry Ville. Ferry Ville is four hours away from Hartford. When we get there we unpack are bags and go in the house. We are there for about one week in a half. My cousin Tyler goes hunting some times and he asks me if I can go and I say yes. He has to get his gear on first so that takes a little while. After he has his stuff on we go down. My grandpa has seven acres of land but it seems much more to me. When we are done hunting we come back up and grab some thing to eat. My grandma and grandpa take us out to eat once in a while at fancy restaurants and out clothes shopping. My grandpa likes taking me for rides in the woods and creepy roads. We usually look for deer and other animals, the animal I would like to see is a wolf, wolfs never like to be seen so we try to be very quiet so we don’t scare them away. After that we drive back home, I lay on the couch and watch TV. After i'm done watching TV I go play X BOX 360 with Tyler for about an hour. Then when he’s sleeping I have to go to bed, the bed I have is huge. There is a TV in the bedroom but it doesn’t work. I really like going down by my grandma and grandpas house because it is the best place In the world I think. I hope I can go down there by there house again this year.

Dear Sir:

The mineshaft is a good place to eat and drink, and the games are really fun to. There are many new games and prizes also, it’s like you are adding more and more new games there to play at the mineshaft. Some of the mineshaft games don’t work or out of tickets. And the games that don’t work are the ones when you get a lot of tickets when you win. I’, writing this letter because some kids wont have as much as fun as they would if the new games didn’t work, and the prizes they would try to win. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Trevor Weiss

__ Heads up 7 up __ By: Trevor Weiss Materials Needed: You need people with thumbs and heads. You also need more than fourteen people.

Rules: Seven people stand in front of the class. The remaining people sit down with there heads down. The seated people put one of there thumbs out and up, and never to peek. When the game starts the standing people go find someone and put there thumb down and go back in front of the class. After everyone has picked someone, they say “Heads up 7 up.” That means the only people that were picked gets to stand up and try to guess who put there thumb down. If they guess it right the person who put there thumb down has to sit where they were sitting, if they guess it wrong the person who picked them stays up. Then the other people who were picked guess. After the first game you can play it again until you want to stop. You can win by guessing the person who picked you and if they say your name but you didn’t pick them then you win. There can’t just be one winner for the game. People win all the time; it is a run on game.

How to play: 1) Pick seven people to go in front of the class, the remaining people sit down. 2) The people that are sitting put there heads down and one of there thumbs up. 3) The people who are standing go find someone and put there thumb down. 4) After everybody is ready someone says “Heads up 7 up.” That means the people who are sitting stand up only if there thumb was down. 5) The people who got picked guess one at a time to see who picked them. 6) If they guess it right the person who picked them go sits down and the person who was picked goes in front of the class.

**__ My Dog __** By: Trevor Weiss I just got home from school. My dad said we got a new T.V, so my sister, dad and I walked into the front room, and then we looked around and there was not a T.V, then my sister and I looked on the couch and we saw a puppy wrapped in a blanket, it was a girl. So we tried to think of a name for her and it was Tashie. She is a puggle a Pug and a beagle mixed she is only 7 inches tall and 1 foot long. We had her for two years. She was born on July 10, 2009.She is my favorite dog because she never bites anyone. She only growls when you play with her. She likes walks and rides. She can do many tricks. Here are a few of them, I can throw a treat and she will catch it, she can balance a treat on her nose and catch it when I say go. My dog is a mixed breed so she is a cool looking dog. She loves food, you can give her any thing and she will eat it. When I pet my dog, her skin feels like a deer. She has a pushed out face with a very small nose, her head is as big as my hand opened up.

**__ Five Stars __** By: Trevor Weiss In Lincoln elementary the kids in Mrs. Hanlon’s class earn stars when we behave or follow directions but, we lose them if we talk too much or misbehave. The five stars are on the chalkboard in the top left corner. We already got are prize from the five stars and that was puppy chow, now we are trying to earn seven stars and the class has six. I’m wondering what the prize is going to be for the next time?
