A Remix of Call Me Maybe


Here's a really cool remix of Call Me Maybe, by Carly Ray.
When I was little I watched Sesame Street, and I'm sure you all have too, but don't you think it has come a long way, like making a remix of Call Me Maybe.
I can't believe Sesame Street did the remix! So cool!
Here's the Video, ENJOY:




Comment and tell me what you thought of it, was it funny, cute, what was it?

A FUN Song


Here is a song that is by my favourite band, FUN!
This song is called Some Nights.
If you really listen to it carefully, it'll make you wonder what the meaning of it is.
We did this in class, talked about the meanings of songs.

I'm not quite sure exactly what it means-well nobody really does.
But what I think so far is that he/she is talking about the nights that happen and how they are so bad for him/her, and how much he is struggling to go through them!
Leave a comment, and tell me what you think the meaning this song is?
 Here's the song:

A Book For You To Read.

If you are looking for something to read, here's what book/series I recommend:
I recommend to you, The Series Of Unfortunate Events.
This series is about a family, The Baudelaire family, Violet-The oldest kid, Klaus-The 2 oldest, Sunny-a baby, and there parents.
What happens in this book, is there parents die, and they are filled with fortune but they aren't aloud using the money until Violet comes of age. They are sent to a uncle far away they are never heard of, and this uncle's name is Olaf, Count Olaf. He wants to steal all there fortune, but the Baudelaire kids are to smart for him and has out-smarted him many times!
Now you know what the main idea of the book is. You will have to read the books to find out the rest. Also there is a movie of the series of books 1-3.
I have not read the whole series, only up to book 5. This book is a very cool book, I think because the author  Lemony Snicket leaves a lot of stuff for you to figure out!
If you are wonder what the book are called here is the list of book names (in order 1-13):
  1. The Bad Beginning 
  2. The Reptile Room
  3. The Wide Window 
  4. The Miserable Mill
  5. The Austere Academy 
  6. The Ersatz Elevator
  7. The Vile Village
  8. The Hostile Hospital 
  9. The Carnivorous Carnival 
  10. The Slippery Slope
  11. The Grim Grotto
  12. The Penultimate Peril 
  13. The End

Lemony Snicket is just a pen name for Daneil Handler, I did not know that until now!
Lemony Snicket wrote the series between 1999-2006

A Cool and Quick Craft!

  If you are looking for something to do around the house, here is a really neat craft that me and my sister did.
All you need is:
-paper bags
-construction paper
-buttons (optional) for the eyes
-and glue
What you do for this craft is make a bunch of different parts to a sock monkey and glue them onto a paper bag. Then you can add lots of details like, earrings, bows, capes, etc. Oh, and make sure that you add a personality to your puppet! And there you have it, that's how to make your own sock monkey paper bag puppet, it's that simple! And if you want to, you can make a different animal like, lions, turtles, pigs, etc.
Here are some examples of what me and my sister came up with !

Have you've read any of these books?, If so, what do you think of them??????? What books would you add to this list??????? What books would you take off this list?????????
The List Of 99 Hundred Books For Kids!

Also If you guys have any suggestions on what order I should read the books in, Chapter books first  picture books first, etc, I would love to hear them.
I've also figured out that I would only have to read an estimated 1 book every 3 days, since their are 365 days in a year. Plus if I did that, I would have 65 days of reading what ever I wanted too.
I hope some of you guys are going to read some these books!!

Oh and by the way............Happy New Years/2013
