Christmas Wish by: Ishmael Eddington

(Part 1)
Once there was a boy named Ishmael and he had a bully named Sam Tomphson. Ishmael believed in Santa Claus but Sam didn’t. Every where Sam would go, he saw pictures of Santa Clause on windows, stores, and etc… even at his house there were pictures of Santa Claus.

School was Sam’s playground, especially at Christmas time. Every time he went to school he would beat up anyone who believed in Santa Clause and then call them crybabies. Sam’s mother tried everything from, buying decorated cookies with Santa Claus, evergreen trees, reindeers, and elves. But still, Sam didn’t believe in Santa Claus.

So Ishmael decided that his Christmas wish this year is for Sam to believe in Santa Clause. Ishmael wrote a note in cursive to Santa Clause. This boy once told Ishmael that if you write your letter to Santa in cursive that your wish is will come to come true. Two weeks past, and no word from Santa. Ishmael for sure Santa would reply.

Three days before Christmas there was a knock at the door. A tall, skinny man, name Tom was at the door. Ishmael opens the door and Tom hands him a letter. The letter was from Santa….

Did Santa make Ishmael’s wish come true? Time to leave for Christmas break… We'll continue, January 5, 2010 when we come back from Christmas break to see if Ishmael’s wish came true. Does Sam Tomphson believe?????

The Boy who Never Gave up on Santa

Since Christmas is in two days, I thought all of you would enjoy this short story about a boy who never gave up on Santa Clause.

Once there was a boy named Joshua who wanted a motorcycle but he had a bully name Mickey. Joshua believed in Santa Clause and Mickey didn’t. So Joshua wrote a letter to Santa Clause. Joshua sent it in the mail and went back home. The next day was the last day of school until the New Year. When Joshua went to school the next day was when he came face to face with Mickey. Mickey was holding the Joshua’s letter to Santa Clause. Joshua had accidently sent Mickey the letter.

Mickey was showed everyone the letter. Everyone started to laugh and make fun of Joshua. Joshua was really sad, but did not give up in believe in Santa Clause. So he wrote another letter and made it was mailed to Santa Clause. Joshua was sure that Santa Clause will get his letter in time.

Around 1:00a.m. Christmas morning, Joshua comes running down the stairs and sees him, Santa Clause. Santa Clause was in his living room. Joshua looks around but does not see a motorcycle. At that moment, all Joshua was thinking was that Santa Clause is really in his house. Joshua goes and gets his mom. When they both came down the stairs, Santa Clause was gone, but there it was a motorcycle…

On Tuesdays, our 3rd, 4th, & 5th graders have descriptive writing class. There are other great stories the youth wrote about how they caught Santa trimming his beard in their bathroom and about a boy who never wanted to take his Christmas pajamas off.

DC HIGH 2 DAY!!!

It was a great day and cold, but warm inside DC High. We greeted everybody and greeted our new student!

My First Day

My first day at d.c. high school was very interesting. I got to meet outstanding people, who are trying to do something with their lives. I had a silent interview and it was kind of strange. People who dont know you try to get to know you by just staring at you. Then they ask you questions to see were they right or wrong.

D.C. High

A NORMAL DAY AT D.C HIGH IS LIKE A NORMAL MORE RELAXED DAY AT SKYLINE HIGH SCHOOL. D.C IS A PLACE WERE A GROUP OF MIXED PERSONALITIES AND RACES COME TOGETHER TO LAERN ABOUT TECHONOLGY. TECHONOLGY IS THE MAIN FORM OF COMMUNICATIO WITH TODAYS YOUTH. OUR YOUTH USES THE INTERNET AND MANY OTHER APPLICATIONS ON THE COMPUTER DAILY. D.C IS HELPING TRAIN YOUNG KIDS TO TRAIN AND INFORM OTHERS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE AND USE OF COMPUTERS. COMPUTERS A FASTER WAY TO LIFE OR COMMUNICATION. I LOVE COMPUTERS!!!!

The Joy

The joy of seeing little kids being picked up at school and going to an after school education program is speechless because, you know that what they are learning of what they could be when they get older and how they are grateful to meet others and share things. It's the joy of just seeing a little kid smile to brighten your day.!!

Another Day in Digital Connectors!

We keep learning more and more about technology and how it is spreading. We began to know each other since the beggining, and done many activities. Its sometimes very intresting to know how things evolve and become larger in technology. Hopefully one day I can teach what I learned in this program to other persons that may be intrested in learning about technology as well.
