IMWAYR (It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?) Week 2

This week I’m reading a different book. This book is called “Accidental Band Geek” by Erin Dionne. I’ve just started, so there’s not much I can write about. I chose this book because the cover looked cool, and I needed a new book. So I read the back, and I instantly related to the main character. It’s about a girl that wants to be an orchestra superstar like her dad and his dad. In order to become this, she has to get into this AWESOME music camp. In order to get into the camp, she has to “expand her musical horizons” or whatever. That means she has to join her school’s marching band. And she HATES it! How is she going to survive marching band? Read it to find out!

Why You Don’t Need School

School makes no sense. You don’t have to be in school to learn…

Music – That’s why we have youtube!

Art – Coloring books!

Gym – Who needs school gym when you have real gyms?

Math – Calculators!

History – There’s probably a history channel on TV…

Science – There might be a science channel too…

Keyboarding – Who needs typing fast when you can type slow?

English – You don’t need to go to school to read or write… (and grammar is dumb)

Pajama Day

Pajama Day

Based on a true story

As I try and fall asleep, an idea forms in my brain. That idea turns into a plan. That plan turns into an evil smile on my face.

Today is Pajama Day. I know exactly how to get back at Steve. Some say revenge is bad, but I think it’s okay if the person actually deserves it. And Steve definitely deserves it. Monday he stole my pencil. Yesterday he stole my pencil sharpener. Today, I’m going to steal his life.

There are a few things you should know about Steve. He is so gullible!  He’s also scared of pretty much everything. I forgot to mention; he’s super annoying. The perfect target!

I had all my gear. By gear, I mean this stuffed animal named Munka. Munka was so cute! Or at least I thought he was. Steve . . . well, he thought Munka looked like the devil. I was offended, so my plan went from the fun and playful side, to the revenge side.

We were typing our essays that day. Or at least most of the class was. I was revising my plan to fit the situation. Because this was the perfect moment. The room was quiet. If he screamed, everyone would turn. I took Munka and put him behind Steve’s computer. When my teacher said it was time to clean up, Steve closed his computer and saw Munka.

“Aaaaaaaaah!” he screamed. “Oh my god, that scared me. Not the devil, just a monkey, don’t freak out. Don’t freak out. Everyone is looking. You’re okay. It’s okay. Everything is okay. Why me?”

The whole class turned to look. Steve looked defeated and embarrassed. Our teacher turned to look. She didn’t say anything, but the look on her face was priceless! The look on Steve’s face was even funnier!

“Dude, are you okay?” asked Fred.

“Monkey jumped at me! Monkey knew I was scared! Monkey scary!” exclaimed Steve.

By now the whole class was staring at Steve. Now Steve’s face was red as a tomato. My teacher’s mouth was saying, “Steve, are you okay?” but her eyes were screaming, “What the heck is wrong with this kid?!”

I wanted to yell, “EVERYTHING!”

IMWAYR (It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?) Week 1

I’m reading a book called “These Happy Golden Years” by Laura Ingalls Wilder. It’s a really good book. I recommend it to everyone that likes historical fiction, or at least someone that won’t kill me if they don’t like it. It’s like the 9th book in a series, so you should read the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th books first. The first book is called “Little House in the Big Woods” by the same author. It’s a really good series. It’s about a girl and her life in like the 1800s. The girl’s name is Laura Ingalls. She’s 16 in the book I’m reading. She lives all around the US. This particular book is about her living away from home for the first time, teaching school, and her maybe falling in love with a family friend.
