Ice dancing in Sochi by kamilla

On the ice in the ice palace arena in Sochi, ice dancers gracefully glided across the floor, filled with emotion and anxiety for their future .Each one of the final 5 dances were glorious, but what Meryl Davis and Charlie White (American gold medalists for ice dancing in Sochi) had was they were so professional, as they walked on the ice they just owned the ice .the American team was also very expressive and innovative with their lifts.

The Russian team was fierce and sharp with their moves, and were very good at complicated lifts and twizzles.

The Canadian team trained with the American ice dancing team, so they knew who their competition was and what they needed to do to win .they also were very acrobatic and were very synchronized even though in the ice dancing qualifying round Tessa Virtue (Canadian ice dancer) missed a spin and was not synchronized with her partner( Scott Mior). Later on, she managed to turn that around in the finals.

The Italian team Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte executed their lifts wonderfully and were very in control of their bodies and they looked like they were having a great time.

The Japanese ice dancers Cathy Reed and Chris Reed are brother and sister so I think that they had a special bond on the ice and off the ice, I think that helped them as a team be stronger when they were skating.

Overall it was amazing to see people are so determined and can do such amazing on the ice and off it. But at the end of the day it is not about who won or lost it is about what you accomplished and that you tried to your best ability.

The Suberbowl by Gabe

I was watching the Superbowl, eating, having soda, just having a great time until the first play of the game.
Payton manning: Wait
Center: Did he say hike?
BOOM! THE CENTER SNAPPED IT! Safety... POOP! I was so disipointed. Then the next time the broncos have the ball... INTERSEPTION! DOUBLE POOP! I left to punch a book, then to play Xbox, then go  on the computer, then came back. It just got worse. 28-0. So i watched in shame and dissipointed.  Then I saw manning on the phone. I thought if he was calling the person who put the lights out in Superbowl 47.  I saw Richerd Shermen get hurt and i felt bad.
I got angery so I ate alot. I  had 3 sodas 9 slammed  doors 4 ripped books and 2 punched walls. A hole lot of mistakes for the Broncos, but a big win for the Seahawks.

MY SNOW DAY

On Thursday night I went to bed and in my head I thought and prayed for a snow day. :)
In the night I dreamed it was a snow day and there was no school so I can go swimming in my swimming pool.
In the morning when I woke ,my mom said "Golly gee you can watch T.V."
I was so excited I jumped out of bed and bumped my head.
I looked out my window, and all I could see the streets were as white as vanilla ice cream.
I screamed "yeah"and planed out my day.
I started my day with a t.v. show and looked out my window and saw more snow.
I played a video game called Temple Run 2 and realized I didn't have any food.
My mom made me eggs,bacon and toast which I love the most.
It was time to read so I grabbed my most favorite book I read for 50 minutes and did my post-it.
I thought about sledding in the park but when I looked out my window it was already dark.
My snow day went by so quick I thought about Monday and started feeling sick.

Snowday

Waking to new world of white Happiness exploding
A walk with dogs
Deep white fluff covers the outside A helping hand bundels me up
Dressed up in warmth, I march outside
I make Mr.Poulet, a snowman
I make a face print in the snow, coldness that burns, but fun still lats when I make a tunnel to  Mr.Poulet.
Mr.Poulet so long, when big brother comes and jumps on you.
Don't worry, I know where he sleeps :]
I will make Mr.Poulet Jr, In honor of Mr.Poulet
Long Live The King!

Icy Haikus!

Collection of haikus about snow
                                                  
Snow like a diamond
Lightly falling from the sky
Ice is annoying
                                                  
The snow will turn gray
And it will wither away
A good prediction
                                                  
The ice made me slip
Cause it was so annoying
It was with my dad
                                                  
Snow ball fights are fun
I had a fun one with Sam
He is my neighbor
                                                  
I wish it still snowed
I would have today off
That would be so cool
                                                  
The fire is warm
It makes my eyes shine very bright
I love my fire place

MY SNOW DAY

I went to bed
and I did not know,
for we were
 to have a
day of snow.
So much fun
we took out
our sled, and
made a snow
reindeer named Fred!
This lovely white
snow will soon
turn brown oh
what a pity,
our beautiful city
will go! How
it will make
passersby frown. Even
though snow becomes
such a mess,
it brings lots
of happiness!!
What a wonderful
way to have
a snow day!!!
