Happy New Year
There is garbage everywhere.
Last night everyone was shooting fireworks.
This morning, I woke up,
looked out my window
and saw trash.
Used fireworks.
Sticks and paper.
Empty bottles.
Happy New Year.
Have fun,

Little Big Planet in school
"Okay kids, today we're going to learn about Little big Planet," said the teacher.
"Yea!" shouted the kids.
"You can make your own game," said the teacher. "And look at other people's levels."
The teacher had Little big Planet with her and a PS3. She set it up and everyone wanted to play.
She had four controllers, but their were 18 students in the class so they had to take turns.
It was hard, but fun.
They made the best levels, and learned all about games and physics.
When the kids came home, they told their moms and dads about their exciting day, and asked if they would buy Little Big Planet for them for their birthday, for Christmas, or just for fun.
Have fun,

At last she reached her fifteenth year.
"Well, now, you are grown up," said the old dowager, her grandmother; "so you must let me adorn you like your other sisters;" and she placed a wreath of white lilies in her hair, and every flower leaf was half a pearl.
Then the old lady ordered eight great oysters to attach themselves to the tail of the princess to show her high rank.
"But they hurt me so," said the little mermaid.
"Pride must suffer pain," replied the old lady.

Fun Facts for kids about the INDIAN RHINO
(bald like my dad?)
Where are Indian Rhinos born?
Even though the Indian Rhinoceros is not called the Nepal India Rhino, it can be found in both Nepal and India.
Oh, how quickly do Indian Rhinos grow up?
Baby calves stop drinking their mother's milk when they are a year-and-a-half old, but live with mom until a new baby Indian Rhinoceros is born, at which time, the toddler is chased off.
Can a person beat an Indian Rhino in a race?
Only if they are in a car. The Indian Rhinoceros can run 35 miles (55 kilometers) an hour… but don't worry, the Indian Rhino quickly runs out of gas and needs to take a rest stop.
Who has more hair, my dad or an Indian Rhinoceros?
I'm not sure, because both my dad and Indian Rhinos have very little hair… but I know Indian Rhinos weigh more. Males weight about 6,000 pounds (2,700 kilograms) and females weigh about half of that.
What do Indian Rhinos get for their 6th Birthday?
One great big horn, that's why their called the Great One-horned Rhino. The horn also looks great with their thick "suit or armor" skin.

One NOT SO FUN FACT about the Indian Rhinoceros
Unsure if Indian Rhino will celebrate many more Happy Birthdays because they are Endangered and face a VERY high risk of extinction in the wild. Fortunately, there are a lot more Indian Rhinos today (2,500) then there were 100 years ago (only 100).
Fun Facts for kids about HIPPOS (Hip Hip Hurrah)
Where are Hippos born?
Hippopotamus (as known as Hippo) often gives birth in the water. Since a 100 pound baby is not a fish, the baby hippo surfaces right after birth to take its first breath.
Oh, how quickly do Hippos grow up?
Hippo calves (babies) nurse both under water and on land for a year. Then they are weaned off their mothers' milk but remain with their mothers until they turn eight. Then they move out.
What do Hippos love?
Hippos love water and they spend most of the day in it to stay cool. The hippo can even breathe, see, and hear while its body is under water because it's nose, ears, and eyes are on the top of its head.
Do Hippos swim better than people?
Yes, they are excellent swimmers and can hold their breath for five minutes. Hippos can even walk under water along the bottoms of rivers and lakes.
