Living Museum: Theodore Roosevelt Speech to School
Hello! My name is Theodore Roosevelt. I was the 26th president of the United States of America. I was born on Oct 27, 1858 at 28 East 20th Street, New York City. Though out my life I have been a pretty responsible man. I lead the Rough Riders in Cuba to victory over Spain and help stop the Russo-Japanese War, earning me the Nobel Peace Prize. There are many things that make a president unique from all the other presidents. I opened several National Parks, National Monuments, and the United States Forest Service. Another thing I did was break up large trusts, large companies that controlled part of the economy and abused their power. I had a pretty large family. I had six children. I wrote a lot of books. One of my series was "Winning of the West". I sure enjoyed talking with you. I hope you had fun.

Title: Black Gryphon
Author: Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon
Rating: 5
In the beginning of the story the gryphon, Skandranon, is on a mission to find out about a new weapon the enemy has. He gets home in one piece and brings back one of the weapons. Skandranon and his human friend Amberdrake are taking part in a war against Ma'ar, and evil mage. My favorite part was when Skandranon's friend, Zhaneel does her practice course and saves another gryphon that is "hostage". She has to go through a variety of spells and traps to get to her goal and back. She has to accomplish this task which includes bringing back the "hostage". Zhaneel even had to "defeat" two gryphons that are simulating Makaar, bird like beings that are the enemies to the gryphons. This book is very adventurous and is very pleasurable to read. I hope you will read this book.

Happy New Year
Happy New Year, everyone! My family and I had fun popping balloon after my dad dropped them from a ladder to celebrate the new year. I wanted to tell you the very first thing I did in the new year, but can't because I don't actually know what it was. I could have done a number of things like taking a breath, a heart beat, a thought, or a couple of other things. I would bet on a thought or a heart beat. I like the new year because it is so timely, meaning there is so much time a head in the year. My grandma and grandpa had to leave on the first day of the new year. I miss them already. I will be going back to school soon, but I wish I had enough time to do all the things I want to do. I hope to bring up my grades and have a fun year. I hope you had a good Christmas and plan to have a great year.
