RESTAURANT REVIEW

Pizza Hut

byDavidiaBlockett, Erica Brown, Nick Delahoussaye, and Jaden Peterson

We love Pizza Hut because the pizza is so cheesy and meaty. At Pizza Hut, they have hot wings and good drinks. They have a good buffet if you go at lunch. You can choose any size and type of pizza. You can have a party at Pizza Hut with your family and friends. It is a nice place to read and meet.

Hey Joe’s

by John Thomas Aguzzi, Lance Dalton, and Trent Tindle

Hey Joe’s can be a really fun place to eat. The dishes they serve the food in look like frisbees. You can sit down at the bar or at a table. If you are a kid, you probably need to sit at a table. When you look up at the ceiling, you can see all kinds of interesting things like shiny armor, a canoe, and chandeliers made out of beer bottles. When you open the door, you will be greeted by a lady, but sometimes, the service is not so good and they forget about you. Still, Hey Joe’s will be a place that you are going to want to check out.

CAFETERIA REVIEW

Pigs in a Blanket

We love the pigs in a blanket because they are nice to eat for dinner or lunch. All you have to do to make them is cook a wiener and put the hot dog in the crescent roll. You can even out cheese on the bread if you want. Either way, they are really good. We always look forward to the cafeteria’s pigs in a blanket! YUM!

Quesadillas

byKhialyn Bryant and Jayda Lamb

We really like the quesadillas in the cafeteria. Every one really likes them, so they probably should serve them at least once a week. They are really good because they have a lot of cheese and good vegetables and meat. They really taste like pizza and fired veggies combined.

INTERNATIONAL PLACES:

by John Thomas Aguzzi, Khialyn Bryant, Lance Dalton, and Jayda Lamb

When a lot of people think about Japan, they think about the recent earthquakes that have happened. There is a lot more to Japan than that! The geography of Japan is very interesting. It is really just a chain of islands. Japan has over 200 volcanoes.

The lifestyle is very different than America, although we do have some Japanese influences in our culture. For example, sushi is a popular dish now in America that has always been enjoyed in Japan. What you might not know is that in Japan they also eat raw horse meat. Other foods like seaweed, miso soup, rice and dumplings are popular.

Most Japanese people only have about ten years of school. There is a six week vacation in the summer , two weeks in the winte,r and two weeks in the spring. That is a lot like here in America. .

The dress of Japan had a lot of variety. Most people wear what they can find to wear! In Japan, they have to wear uniforms to school. Kimonos are popular. Many women wear Yukatas, a traditional Japanese dress.

BOOK REVIEW

byJared Giger and Jacob Robinson

Mouse Soup is an entertaining book. We think the author who wrote this book wanted people to just have fun. The book is about this weasel and this s mouse. The weasel is trying to cook the mouse, but the mouse told him he has to put stories in his soup to make it good. The problem was that the mouse escaped. I would give this book three stars.

MOVIE REVIEW

by Gilbert Lopez and Deranisha White

“Phineas and FerbAcross the Second Dimension” is a very interesting and funny movie. It is about two kids that have a platypus that is named Perry. He is a secret agent. The entire movie is about the adventures these two kids and the platypus go on. Parachutes, falling buildings, and a lot more is involved in the action-packed movie. We would give this movie 4 stars for kids.
