Twinkies Are Gone

November 21, 2012 By Lucy

imagesHostess is a 85-year old brand with lots of advantages that other big companies don’t have. It is going out of business because it has failed to give its workers higher wages. They are firing about 19,000 employees, and it will result in even the most simple pantry staples disappearing. It will make kids’ snacks disappear, and most kids rely on these snacks for bedtime, lunches, and of course, snacks. It is closing because they do not have enough profit to give all of their employees a decent wage, and make snacks at the same time.

This is important to me because there are roughly 308,745,538 people in the United States, so many very unfortunate people have lost their jobs. Although there is still a lot of people left who have a job, most of the population is at a loss of jobs.

School

October 18, 2012 By Lucy

I am in my Specials class right now… which is Computers! We have many different specials like Art, Music, P.E, Library, and Computers. We switch Specials every day, for example, Music on Monday, Art on Tuesday, Library on Wednesday , Computers on Thursday, and P.E on Friday! Computers is very fun, because we get to make fun presentations in Google Docs and play online educational games. In computers, we learn a lot of things about the technology we use and love, and how it changes.  We also learned how to type faster, which is a simple technique: Practice, Practice, Practice!
