I really like my blog video because students got to learn more about Mr. Patel, other than him working at Citizen Schools, like what college he went to and what he does other than Citizen Schools.

My blog is also creative because whoever was doing an interview, they were doing it on a regular teacher, however, I went above and did one on a Citizen Schools staff member.

I learned a lot about Mr. Patel during my interview with him and now I look at him from another point of view. Now, I see him as a respectful, nice teacher that cares about students and helps them when they need it.

You can't just come to school looking like a bum. You got to have and style.

It's the people you hang around that make you popular. You can't hang around geeks because that's not going to make you popular. You have to hang around popular people. And the way you act is what makes you popular.

To find out who is the most popular student in each grade at our school, I interviewed people.


The most popular students in each grade are:

6th Grade: Morgan, Alyssa, Ellean
7th Grade: Leah, Jasmin
8th Grade: Hakeem, Najeeh, Isaih and Jared

So these are the people who are the most popular stars lol :0 !!!

Some people think that there are only two tricks to yo-yoing, but there's much more than that. Yo-yo-ing has come a long way from a toy to a cool hobby and also to yo-yo competitions. I have not entered in one, but it is fun to play with.

All the types of yo-yo trick amaze me and I hope I will be cool for you. All the types of tricks are cool but my favorites is revolutions, Buddha's Revenge, Plastic Whip, The Matrix, and my all-time favorite, The Yuuki slack.

In the videos below, you'll see me doing different tricks, but they're all basic for you to learn. And in the other video, you'll see my friend Eric doing tricks that he first learned.

My friends and I practice during lunch and all the little time we have. The way we learn all of our tricks is by looking at a website called yoyoexpert.com.

When I made this video, I made it for people who might want to learn about many different codes so people won't have to get made fun of if they say something embarrassing and people won't start rumors.

Some people want to learn about codes so they can talk to their friends and without their parents knowing what they're saying.

And that's what this video is mostly about so people can never have to have anything known and they'd never get caught. This video also talks about one secret language that is not known any more called Pig Latin.

So if you watch my video, you can learn about the different cods and soon I will be blogging pictures of the codes for people to learn and maybe even print out.

Its me Alyssa! I'm about to talk about the best rappers and singers. There are so many famous music artists. Most of them are famous because of their best songs. Some rappers and singers rap and sing very good!!! But some rappers and singers are mad whack. Most music artists make good songs, some have curses in their song, but they sound very good.

I interviewed most of the people in my class, so the results prove that Lil Wayne, Drake, Beyonce, Rihanna, and Nicki Minaj are the top rappers and singers. The most popular songs from Drake are 'Forever', 'Over' and 'Money to Blow.' The most popular songs from Nicki Minaj are 'Massive Attack', 'Go Hard', and 'Itty Bitty Piggy.' From Lil Wayne, 'Roger That,' Drop the World' and 'Bedrock.' From Rihanna are 'Hard', 'Rude Boy' and 'Russian Roulette.' Check out Rihanna performing 'Russian Roulette' below.

They use it in school, during class on their cell phones when the teachers are not looking.

But who are the faces on Facebook?

There are over 1 million faces on Facebook, so lets stick to the faces we know from Arts & Letters. So, who has a Facebook? Well Allison, Brandon, Marcos, Christina, and Danielle. So now we have to hunt to find out what they do on Facebook.

So now we will go to my Facebook and see what I do...

School is a magical place. It all starts with the school supplies. School supplies, school supplies, hey, without it there is no school order. Today I am trying to find how do we get school supplies? How much school supplies do we get ? How are they used? Why do we need them? Very important questions, right? You need to know about Arts and Letters, my school. It's the best ever. SHHHHHHH!! SHHHH!!.

These answers are important, because if you want to know the school, start with the supplies. To find the answer for all our questions we need to go to the top people. We need to get to the top ruler. We all know who it is. Every school has one... the principal. So I asked her all my questions about supplies. Just watch the video to get the answers. It is all about Arts and Letters and the items to survive in this school. You need to watch; you will learn something about my school.

Every day, boys repeat and wear the same clothes. Blue and dark skinny jeans, polo and different T-shirts. For girls, they switch up and match everyday. Either it's short skirts with a shirt or booty shorts with a tank top and other different choices. There's a lot of different clothes like khaki skirts, shoes, pants, shorts and sneakers.

The hottest new, new brand are a lot I cant even say, but I am going to start with Polo. Polo is the type that you can wear in the summer and never be out of style. If you want to stay fly in the summer wearing the newest clothes rock with Polo and Levis, G-Shock (got you have your G-Shocks.) Skinny jeans and your Air Maxes and never ever forget Aeropostale. Stay fly and you'll get by.

My story is about sneakers, and, what brand of sneakers do students at Arts and Letters like the most.

What I hope to accomplish with this story is... 'What is the favorite brand of sneakers in my school,' and 'Where do people shop for their shoes?'

The reason why I chose this topic is because I like sneakers and I wanted to see if kids in my school like sneakers too.

Every time I see a kid playing in the playground in the morning, at recess, in the evening... I wonder if they know the crazy things going on. Everyday I see kids jumping over and climbing to the top of things. I even saw them do that in the snow whether it was slush or ice. From my point of view, I think kids don't really care like me when they're playing or doing their daily activities they're really into what they're doing, for example if someone screams, kids keep going.

Why? Because it's natural. I actually thought my story was going to be about people entering the park suspiciously and the story I planned was actually was not better than the one I got. I really think these kids are crazy because i would never jump and flip over monkey bars on walk on top of it or do anything crazy like these things in the video below.

So it's spring and people are wearing shorts, t-shirts, capris, and tank tops because it's getting warmer and hotter everyday.

Sometimes girls oddly wear boys clothes and boys wear girls clothes, but no one knows why. When I was young, I thought that girls had to wear skirts and boys had to wear just pants and a shirts, but that was in the day and now they can wear whatever they what if it's Polo, Aeropostale, Rocawear, Sean John, Dereon, Apple Bottom, and Baby Phat. For some people, they like to mix up their clothes a lot but still they try to make their style POPPIN' AS ALWAYS.

I wrote this article because I really like fashion a lot and different types of clothes. And how boys and girls always wear different kinds of outfits. I observed that sometimes girls like to wear boys stuff a lot and not all boys like to wear the girls stuff.

Originally I was going to say girl have the best outfits in Arts and Letters. After this experience, I learned that boys and girls both have great outfits to wear.

I took a survey about school lunches and these were the results:
- 100% of the students said that they did not enjoy school lunch
- 100% of students said that the school lunch tastes like it was made of cardboard or garbage
- 99% of the kids do not look forward to eating school lunch (the only one who likes it goes out to lunch)
- 99% of the kids don't like any of the school lunch; one of the kids like the circle ppeperoni pizzas.

All of the kids hate all the of the school lunch ecpicially the burgers and the chicken nuggets. From this survey I learned that the majority of the kids at this school dislike the school lunch ALOT.

I'm writing to better explain my video. It's about how I went around my school asking for the funniest, but clean jokes.

The jokes in the video is from grades 6, 7 and 8. The video has some good jokes that are pretty ok, but I know some good jokes that's funny but I didn't want to be in it. I'm hoping I could add new jokes every week, but probably not so I hope you enjoy the jokes my school is spreading around like wildfire.


ENJOY.....
