Hi everyone!
Remember that you can make postings on the social blog anytime you want to. I see Christine asked what everyone was doing for Autumn Festival. That was a great question, Christine. So what did you all do for the holiday weekend? I stayed home and played Rock Band on the Wii.- Ms. Lori

During the long weekend, I went swimming with my dad and also visited the Shanghai Contemporary Art Exhibition. I saw many paintings there. After that, I went for my art class. I ate moon cakes too. I enjoyed my long weekend. What about you?
Kate had a birthday party with 12 friends. We played sports. We gave treat bags out. We gave medals and shirts out. I cannot think of anything else.

This book is called Everest. It is about a big group going to a boot camp. At boot camp the 5 lucky winners would join the American Junior Alpine associations fifteen teen top young mountaineers for four weeks of intensive training and compotition. It promised to be a brutul month of 6 hour workouts night climbs and mountain hikes carrying heavy packs.The top 4 climbers would earn places on SummitQuest. Summit Athletics everest expedition the youngest team ever to attempt the worlds tallest peak.
Im still reading abut Everest and The Summit Athletic sports training facility in high falls Colorado was nestled amid snow capped peaks in the Rocky mountains. Built on a platue at eighty-five hundred feet above sea level,it was by far the highest such complex in the United States. At that it was nearly two vertical miles lower than Everest base camp,and more than four below the summit. The facility had hosted some famous nsmes from the world of sports, like, Tiger Woods, Michael Johnson, Kobe Bryant,Tony Hawk and the entire U.S. womens world cup soccer team. Never had the place seen the kind of workouts that were going on as the ninteen remaining canidates fought to land spots on Cap Ciceros Summit Quest Team. For three hours each morning the class trained in the huge gymnasiam. This included weight lifting, aerobic machines, calisthenics, and hours practicing rope techniques on the masive sixty foot climbing wall built excepecailly for This group.
Im still reading Everest and it was a blinding cold blizzard the kind that hit the Colorado mountains in January. The snow began just after dark and by 2 am Cicero hauled the ninteen canidates out of their beds there were already six inches of new powder on the ground. On the mountain the thing about frost bites is there isnt ant pain. You just feel numb.But its worse then pain because you know whats happening to you.The two smallest toes were missing from Ciceros foot. It was a crual truth of high attitude climbing. There was only one treatment for the worst kind of frost bite amputation.
Im reading about everest. The first round of official cuts were sceduled thsat week. Everybody realized it was coming but nobody knew exacly what to expect. The climbers were still very cold. THey were still on their way to the end.
