1. Budlong Bulldogs! Budlong School Sixth Graders Rule! Jacqueline Ruiz Evelyn Perez Emely Mondragon Selena Idorwah Week-End Fun

2. Jacqueline Ruiz You Will Love Game Stop!!!

3. In GameStop you’ll fall in love! GameStop is a store with a lot of games and controllers. There’s sample games to check out. There’s a Nintendo Ds, Wii, Xbox, and XBox360. My favorite system is the Wii. With a Wii you are so energetic, because if you want to jump you could by pressing a button. If you want to sing you should use the controller as a mic. The button you press is the one with an “A”.

4. My life is mostly interesting! Mondays to Fridays I go to Budlong School. On Fridays, I watch my Favorite T.V. show at 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. it’s Called Friday Night Smackdown. That is when people fight with other people. My brother thinks it’s fake, I think so too. On Saturdays I sometimes go to the laundromat to Wash and dry my clothes.

5. Evelyn Perez Target has many things that I like, but these are my favorites. I like the clothes and the shoes. The clothes are shirts, skirts, dresses, and pants. The shoes are flats, boots, high heels, and gym shoes.

6. My weekends are not always interesting, but anyway here’s what I do. On Fridays, I get home clean my house and at 7:00 p.m. I watch a Novel in Spanish which is “Al Diablo con los Guapos.” At exactly 10:00 p.m. I go to sleep. On Saturdays I wake up to clean my house. In the afternoons I go to my Aunts house. We also go to the park sometimes. At 10:00 p.m. I go to sleep. On Sundays I wake up early to go to church at 11:00 a.m. The rest of the day we go places like stores and other houses.

7. Emely Mondragon Foot Locker is a store that sells shoes. This one of my favorite places to get shoes. Foot Locker has all kinds of popular brands of shoes. My favorite brands are Nike and Converse. I usually just stop by to look sometimes.

8. MY WEEKEND On my weekend I usually just walk with my sister. We go shopping to close by stores like Walgreens. We get candy here sometimes. I and my sister go to the theaters too! (I love to watch movies) My sister and me go to restaurants too! We go to McDonalds and get some burgers. We go to Subway to get some sandwiches or soup.

9. Selena Idorwah I like the clothes and jewelry at the store Discovery! What I like are pants, tee shirts, jeans, dresses, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, jackets, sweaters, coats, and other clothes and accessories.

10. MY WEEKEND On my weekends on Friday I go with my friends around my neighborhood. Sometimes, I go to the movies but my mom or my friends mom has to go with. On Saturdays I would go in the afternoon sometimes with my friends. At night I watch T.V. and then go to sleep. On Sundays I go to church then I come home and watch T.V. Sometimes I go on the computer and then I get ready to go to sleep.
