Me is I
I is me
I’m who I am
Not what others
want me to be
I act as myself
I act as a
soft
innocent
rose
But not because others
want me to be
it’s because I want me to be
My life cannot be controlled
by anyone else but me
My life revolves around me
because others taught me to be
I am a: strong
peaceful
thoughtful
heartfelt
enigma
My heart pounds like a beating drum
My heart speaks for me–it is my voice
to speak to you all
to invigorate an aching soul
needing enlightenment
Me
I
Strong
Fit
Being me is…
I

One snowy day me and my big sister and my little baby sister were playing in the park with my brother. I was catching snowflakes with my little baby sister and I made a snowman and a snow angel. My brother was on the swings. My big sister was in the store buying hot chocolate with my daddy and my mommy. My mommy helped me make a snow angel, snowman and an igloo. At the end of the snowy day, we all went home to have hot chocolate.

Dear Mommy,
I want ice cream please. I will do all of my chores if you let me have ice cream. Also, I will clean up my room and I’ll go to sleep when you say so. Finally,I will wake up in the morning and take a bath by myself. If I do all of these things, can I please have ice cream?
Love,
Nicholas

Hello boys and girls at P.S. 119! This is Ms. Hobson, reporting live from the Carnaval celebration of Maastricht. During the week of February 14, the city of Maastricht turns into a giant costume party. It was very cold weather, but people from all over the area came out to parade and play music in the streets. I painted a mask to look like a character from Avatar, but in my warm winter jacket, my costume could not compete with all the beautiful, hand-made costumes I saw in the parade. Below are some photos for you to enjoy!
Many countries around the world celebrate Carnival, some of the most famous celebrations include Brazil and Mardi Gras in the United States. This holiday is based on the Catholic calendar, leading up to the period of Lent (for more information, check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival). It usually is celebrated in February. Do you know another country that celebrates Carnival?

Sakura blossoms in water
Sakura blooms late
Snow and frost delayed their bursts
Soft petals falling

The snowy day was fun. I didn’t go to school! I said, “I want to go outside to play.” When I went outside to the backyard, it was fun! I fell in the snow because it was slippery. I made a snow angel and I made a snow man. I fought with the snow man but he kept on losing because I forgot to put arms on him. I guess that was not very fair of me. I won the snow ball fight. It was a great snowy day.

When I went ice skating at Aviator, Stacey shouted, “James, Jeff…stop going fast!” But when Jeff and me let go of the fence, we went really fast. Stacey, Noura,Sumanchie,Mohammad, Monica and Diana were following us. Shamica and Monica and Sumanchie were holding onto Monica’s sister Amanda. They kept on falling, “BOOM!”, getting up and falling again “BOOM!”
Next, I went towards Diana and she held up her two hands and shouted “STOP!” I quickly turned and kept my balance and stopped. I fell seven times. Jeff had to help me up and some of the third graders kept holding the pole and falling every time they let go. When they saw me coming they shouted “STOP!” but I skated through the gap.
Every time I fell, Ms. Fernandez gave me advice, “look straight ahead to where you want to go.” I did this and it helped me keep my balance. Next, I was the leader of the skating train and Muhammad and Jeff were behind me. Muhammad let go and I grabbed his hand so he could not fall. Finally,Mohammad, Jeff, me and my friend Marcus started skating together. That was the greatest time of my life. The time I went ice skating at Aviator.

I went ice skating at Aviator with my school. It was so much fun. I fell three times! Mr. Clarke, Mr. Jump and Ms. Fernandez helped me. My friend Kenciana helped me too. Then I learned how to skate and that was the best part about ice skating at Aviator.
