this summer is going to be a blast of friends, family, and awesome opportunities. first of all this sunday i head to alabama to hang with the family, and have fun on the farm. probably my favorite thing about staying with my grandparents for a month is their church youth group. i know like everybody, and they have the coolest worship. take bethany's youth group and shrink its size but the same energy. it rocks!!!
after that i head back to my home and hang out with my friends until july. during july my mom and i have the awesome opportunity to go to Puerto Rico. while in Puerto Rico we are going to be doing a vacation bible school. i am going to have to warm up on my spanish, because i want to personally talk to the little kids that we will come into contact with. since our little newspaper adventure with the elementary, i have gotten better with kids.
while there we also get to play sports and build things!! yay!!! i love hard labor and sports. i will be one of the two girls that will be helping with this. i cannot wait!!! this will be my very first missions trip. i am so excited to see what God does!!! i havnt had much ministry experiance, and i am ready for some more!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
then after all that fun, its me and my friends, well and maybe my brother. i have to babysit him. :-(. Emily and i have decited that we are going to make a list of all the things crazy things that we are going to do the remainder of the summer. we shall document these things with pictures to show you up on the start of the new school year.
shall we tell her what these inclued, noooo im asking you, replace you so antiways... ummm... we shall take all our friends to borders to have a story time in the childrens section(british accent) if you hear on the 10:00 news of several children being banished from borders, think of us, and then come bail us out of jail. (these words have been brought to you by Emily and Hannah)(partners in crime)weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee i love you ms melancon!!!

200 point final
ah newspaper class wow it has been fun. now that i have been throught the best class ever, i have recomended it to everyone i come into contact with. any people that are interested in this class i tell them that it will help you become a better writer. we write alot! i use to hate writing now it is pretty cool. in newpaper class we get to right about what we want to. we basically right how we talk to make it evern more interesting.
lets see tips i would give to a new staff writer... i would tell them to learn how to type well that way when you are writng a story or BLOG ASSIGNMENT you can get it done faster. but you dont have to have great typing skills to be on the staff. at the beginning of the year i couldnt type worth anything, i got better throught this year. also by having good typing skills it will help you in anyother phase in your life.
another tip i guess would be, be prepare to not be shy. ms.meloncon will make sure of that. every person is sometimes shy on their first day to anything, i know that i am. ms. meloncon will break you of this, and you will love her. that is another cool part about this class is the teacher. ms.meloncon rocks! that really should be reason enough to be in this class.
oh yeah another tip could be make sure that you always have ideas about stories. sometimes we dont have good pitches and it is harder to think of them right on the spot. what i did most of this year was way before the next issue i would think of tons of ideas. this will definatly help you if next year we do 50 np ideas. those are death, but if you come prepare everyday with new ideas, then you will survive the storm. by having ideas out there, it helps with your creativity. once you do it a couple of times you have it down, and it is not so bad anymore.
another and final tip from me is to have fun and be aware of your surroundings. this kind of goes with ideas, but if you watch the news or read the newspaper, you will learn alot about your surroundings. this will help your writng because it gets you thinking just like a real reporter. especially if you want to go into journalism, or anyother writing carrer, this is the class for you. oh yeah the fun part is get ready for crazy and fun people. we have played so many games this year and it has been an awesome ride. i cannot wait till next year to see qho is in this class.

Instructions
Things You'll Need:
Fence post digger
Cement
Level
Powdered chalk
Chalk line marker
Tether ball pole
Tether ball with rope
Step 1
Mark the spot where you will install your pole. It should have at least 10 feet of space on all sides, and be on a soft surface like grass or dirt.
Step 2
Use the post digger to make a 2-foot deep hole.
Step 3
Mix the cement with water according to package directions. Fill the hole halfway and insert the pole. Use the level to help make the pole straight. Holding the pole straight, fill the hole completely with cement. Allow to dry.
Step 4
Fill the line marker with chalk. Mark off a 20-foot diameter circle with the pole in the middle. Mark off 1/6 wedges on opposite sides of the circle. These are the neutral zones. Mark a cross in the center of each of the remaining 1/3 sections of the circle. These are the serving spots.

Step 3
Wrap the string around the body of the bow. Place a twist-tie around the body and string to keep the two together.
Step 4
Place the bow on the flat surface you identified in Step 1. Make sure it is out of the way and that no one will accidentally step on it or get tangled up in the string.
Step 5
Stack your additional long bows on top of one another in the same place. Use caution when stacking them so as not to damage the strings.
