Happy Holidays! by Mrs. Hudson

I usually let the 5th graders do all the talking on the blog, but I just wanted to drop by and wish everyone a wonderful holiday season full of fun, rest and relaxation, and time with the people you love. I'll look forward to seeing everyone in 2015!

Christmas Vacation by Caleb

Hi, my name is Caleb. I am going to talk about Christmas Vacation. Over the Christmas Break, my family and I are going to see some Christmas lights on the night before Christmas. I'm so excited that Christmas is coming up in 7 DAYS!  I'm getting the Erasable Colored Pencils. Erasable Colored Pencils are more like regular pencils, but they have color on them! I'm also getting a Lamborghini Toy Car for Christmas and Crazy-Sand! If you are interested in these Christmas things, you could get them for Christmas, too!

Christmas Break! by Brighton

I am so excited for Christmas!! Christmas is only 7 days away! I wonder what I'll get? Every year I go to Jacksonville, Florida, where I see my family and friends. It's also where I get to stay up all night, and finally get a break to do stuff! I can't wait to go to Jacksonville!!

Okay, so, my fellow bloggers and I were arguing about if it is better to know what your presents are, or if it is better to let it be a surprise. (It's the surprise one!) What do you think?! (Comment below.)

My Christmas Break!!!!! By Julia Lane

Well, there is exactly a week away until Christmas! Every Christmas Eve, my family goes to my grandma's house. My grandparents get us presents, we eat a lot, and... yeah, that's what we do there! Then when we get home, we change into our Christmas Pj's, and I read The Night Before Christmas. After that, we open one present, then go to sleep! Then on Christmas morning, we wake up, yell at our parents to get up, and then they get the camera! We go out to the living room, and............ OPEN PRESENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My mom makes cinnamon rolls, or bacon, or something like that. We just play around with our new stuff all day! That's basically all I do, no vacations, or anything! I think it's very fun! So, MERRY CHRISTMAS, and have a GREAT DAY!!!!

Christmas Break By Julian

Yes, finally Christmas break is finally here. I've been waiting for this since the beginning of the school year. My favorite part of the last week before winter break is the last day because there is always a party with lots of food and stuff like that. Another reason is because it's the longest break of the year. Instead of like a couple days or a week, it's 2 weeks. That is why I like Christmas Break.

What I Am Getting for Christmas By: Lamar

My teacher's name is Ms.England. I have been a new student at Chase Street for 3 years. This is my third year at Chase Street. One thing that I like about 5th grade is that you get to go on fun trips, for example the High Museum!

Now that you know a little bit about me, I am going to tell you more about what I am going to get for Christmas. The thing I want the most is a game system called a PlayStation 4, and I am getting four games, but I don't want to say all of them. One other thing I am doing is I am going to Florida for the first day of winter break. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that I'm going to see my family members, but no, I am just going there for vacation. The thing that I don't want to do is go to Florida. I can already feel that it's going to be boring.

Musical By: ARIANA

We have been practicing this special musical. It is coming very soon, December 9, 2014, at Chase Street School at 6:00. There are going to be Christmas songs. It is going to be fun. I hope you will enjoy it. We will be more than happy for you to come.

Thanksgiving Break by Caleb

Over Thanksgiving break, my cousins came over and we played a lot. My cousins' names are Cameron and Erin. They spent one night, and they left on Friday afternoon at 12:15. We played Connect Four, Sorry, and I taught them how to play FIFA 14. FIFA 14 is a soccer video game where you are playing against a other team. You get a chance to pick your team, and they have half time. If the score is 0 to 0, you have to take the penalties. You get 6 tries, and who ever has the most shots wins the game. Then, I taught my cousins how to play the Sonic game. My cousin Cameron won second place every time and I was so proud of him for winning second place. Finally, they left at 12:15! I enjoyed playing with them, and I guess they had an awesome time too!

The Christmas Parade by: Julia L.

Last night was the Christmas Parade in Downtown! There were TONS of awesome, creative floats! There was someone who popped a REALLY TALL wheelie! One float had bubbles shooting out of it, and it looked like real snow! There was a bus with tons of lights all over it, and they called it The Polar Express! When everyone was leaving, there was basically another parade of people! I saw some of my friends there. On some of the floats, people had bands playing Christmas songs! It was very fun! They threw out tons of stuff, but my brother and I didn't get anything!! But, it was still very fun!!

Basketball Game By: Julian

This Saturday I have a really big basketball game. It is the state team--which I am on--vs. The Atlanta city team. The game is for the championship which will be the first championship in 10 years. Right now I average 25 points and 6.5 assists. The Atlanta team has been playing really well in the last few weeks,

averaging 95 points playing with 1 hour playing time. This will be the best accomplishment that I have done in basketball.
