If I lived in Antarctica it would be freezing cold. In Antarctica life would be a lot different. For example, in Portland I can take 30 minute showers every day. In Antarctica you can only have two minute showers twice a week because the water purifier uses a lot of energy.

In Antarctica all the stuff you need gets packed in cargo ships from different countries. The cargo ship has food and luggage. Also you don't have as many options of food to eat. Your food wouldn't be fresh either. In Antarctica you have to be careful with food waste.

            On my first day of first grade. I felt nervous and sick. When I got to school I had the jitters. My teacher was Ms, Hunt, she was my sisters teacher in third grade. When it was almost the end of the day we had P.E. we played capture the flag, we also played soccer. It was awesome! Then we got to do math, I was dismissed. Overall it was a good first day of school.

“My first time snowboarding”

            One day my Dad Lee was driving my mom and I up to Mount Hood. For me to go snowboarding. First we rented a snowboard and then I clipped my boots on to it. The first time I went down the hill I fell over sideways.

            The second time I didn’t fall over now that I had gotten better. On the last try I had tumbled down the hill! Then we drove home, It was a one or two hour drive back. It was dark and it was still snowing out. I saw lots of trees, It was a fun trip!

            How are people wasting energy? People are leaving lights on. Doors open TVs and computers on. They are wasting money and using too many resources. If you don’t do anything about it there can be blackouts. You wouldn’t be able to see at night, stay warm or cool.

            People need to use less energy they can buy solar panels. Solar panels use the sun to create energy. I can save energy by turning lights off when I’m done with them. I am capable of closing doors behind me. These are things I can do now. This is something I would get friends and family to do.

            Over 500,000 homes get cut down a year. Trees provide animal homes for over 42 different kinds of animals. Deforestation has many negative effects on our lives in Oregon. Trees provide shelter, food, recreation, oxygen and beauty for our community. If our community ignores this problem then a lot of animal homes will disappear and the air will be less clean.

            Cutting down trees (skipped) losing animal homes is a big problem in Oregon. Some people go paperless to not use up trees, other people plant trees on their property. Our community recycles paper and composts too. Oregon passed laws that will try not to cutdown as many trees. So I plan to plant a tree in my backyard in spring. I hope an animal makes a home there.

I was in a forest hiking with my Nana and Gary. I felt a soft breeze on my face and I heard birds in the distance. Once we were at the edge of the forest we saw a wide river. The name of the river was The Deschules.

I put my finger in the rive, the water was quite cold. We saw a bridge and went across it to the other side. We saw lots of trees as we walked back a different way then before. 

We took out our map, I was tired so we walked back to our cabin. We were still walking to our cabin when we spotted a raccoon in the trees. It had dozed off to sleep. When we got back to the cabin I dozed of to sleep too!
