GOING TO GIRL SCOUT CAMP

I'm going to go to the Girl Scout camp for three days. It's a sleepaway camp so we're going to be sleeping in cabins or camping. This morning, I'm gonna carpool with my friend and eat lunch. Then she's gonna drop me off at Girl Scout camp and I think're we're gonna do activities. I'm gonna put my mess kit in the water every day and wash it. I think it will be fun and my favorite part would be hiking and swimming. I had this big packing list and we had to shove everything into a bag. There were like 27 things. We're not going to be selling cookies to our neighbors or anything. We're just gonna do activities, get some badges, and have fun. I plan to find some very cool rocks and plants. I think it will be awesome!. The End.

THE LAST DAY OF 3RD GRADE

Yesterday was the last day of school. First we looked at our memory books and signed each others' yearbooks. And then my teacher read to us. Then we had a party for three hours. And then I went home and got on my bathing suit, went to the Safeway to get a picnic lunch, and I played with my friends at the beach.

LEARNING ABOUT CELLS

Today and yesterday I learned about cells. Tomorrow I think I'll learn about cells also. There's something in the cell that's the brain of the cell called the nucleus. Then there's a small ball in there called the nucleolus. And then there's a jelly substance called cytoplasm that holds everything and it's like you can still see things but it's like water and gel mixed. Mitochondria is the powerhouse -- it gives all the power to the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum is like a transporter. The golgi sends stuff out. There's a rough endoplasmic reticulum and a soft one. One of them has bumps on it and the other has none of that stuff. The lysosome is like the stomach of the cell. The cell membrane is like what protects it and what goes in and out like a bodyguard. It lets water and blood come in and all the rest of the stuff not come in. There's almost a cell for everything. I didn't learn about blood cells. But I did learn about liver cells! When you get hurt, the nucleus thinks and goes up to the brain and tells it OW,and then it comes back and tell you to say OW! Like, when we were doing our project and my blister popped, I said OW because the cells went back with the brain and told me to say OW because it hurt. My teacher is learning about it and my brother was learning about it. I'm a third grader and I'm learning about college stuff so that's kind of weird. Cells also pump oxygen. Your body is made all out of cells. Bye bye! The End.
