"No!"


I moved to a new neighborhood.


"No!" signs were everywhere!


My house was big.


So many "no" signs... but...


one "yes" sign!


"Yes, you can put up "No" signs!"


But on "No" Street, I say "yes!"


Especially when...


this question is asked: "Would you like some ice-cream?"



The No! 
I Mean,
The Yes!
I Mean...

Buzz Buzz Buzz



a song

by Avalon Blumenthal                                                 Buzz, Buzz, Buzz

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buuuuzz
I do like nature, yes I do
Colors gleam and shine
The colors stand out from red to purple
From black to white
Nature nature’s colors

A bee buzzes: Buzz, buzz, buzz
The bee is yellow and black
Just like white and black
Colors are beautiful like blue and pink
The colors wink

Now the butterflies come
The monarch is orange
The ladybugs are red
And black - they have spots
Now I dance upon the willow tree
The bees are buzzing at me

I dip my hand in the pond
The water cools down
Now the pond all settles
And I go to sleep

Silkworms


My teacher, Ms. Cid, said I could take these silkworms home for the weekend. I get to feed them. They eat Mulberry leaves. They feel soft and squishy. I can't wait until they're bigger!

Treasure Girl


This is me when I was little. I really wanted to make a movie about a girl who loses her parents and finds treasures that lead the way. This video is one of the first movies I made. I wanted it to be called Treasure Girl because I like treasures and I wanted it to be about finding treasures, too. My dad videotaped and added the sounds.

My White Cat


A cinderella story



My White Cat
By
Avalon Blumenthal


Once in the forest I stood before a white cat.
She was an evil and magical cat! She forced me to be her servant.

This cat was to be served all the time. I was dressed in a golden servant’s dress. She now must get married.

I was always to smile at her. I served her when she was just a kitten. Now she is a powerful cat. She is white.

She will have the cat prince come over for dinner. I serve them fish all through the night. Soon the prince leaves. 

He leaves with my white cat princess. They leave for a year. But while they are gone I do not get a break. I am ordered to clean the house spotless. 

When they return they return with five filthy kittens. I clean them all. Then I get them all a golden crown. I serve all the kittens.

When the two cats die I must take care of the kittens. Soon they are cats ready to get married. I say: “This is not fair.” Then I run away to my village.

I call the zoo and soon the five cats are put in the zoo. Now I am free. I get married to nature. And I work for the nature that I want to work for.
I work and work. But I am always happy. And I only work for regular cats and kittens.


THE END!

Love is Part of Nature



It is important that we take care of nature. We can take care of nature by watering our plants and taking care of our animals. We need to try not to use our cars as much. If it's a little bit of a long distance we could ride a bike. The more we drive our cars, the more pollution goes into the air and when it goes into the air, it makes our planet hot. It is important that we love our plants and animals because if we don't love them than we will probably forget about them and we can't take care of them and there will be no love left.

The Mystery of the Missing Wand


 The mystery      of the mi  ssing wand




                                        By
                                                 Avalon Blumenthal

  Chapter 1 the wand
A little mouse stood before a wand wondering if he should touch it. He touched it. He started to spin very fast and as he spun he started to turn into a human! But this was not any old human - he was a wizard! When the mouse stopped spinning he was a wizard with a golden robe, blue slippers, a blue hat, and in front of him in his hand was the wand. The wizard’s name was Patch. Patch had to find out whose wand this was and he would do it as a case. Near by there was a river. The wizard set out on his journey on a boat. Patch got out his note pad and wrote:
       Blue flowers, Red wand, and...GREEN TUNNEL IN THE MIDDLE OF A RIVER! 


Patch ducked under the tunnel. When Patch opened his eyes he was floating on a cloud! Patch jumped off the cloud and floated down and landed on some soft green grass. Patch fell fast asleep. “Yippee! It worked!”



       Chapter 2 The horrible spell! 
A witch made Patch fall asleep so she could get the wand. There was only one problem. The wand was under Patch. The witch pulled at the wand. Patch opened one eye! Then closed it. The witch had to kick Patch off the wand. “YES! YIPPEE! I GOT THE WAND, I GOT THE WAND BOO HOO TO Patch.” Then Patch opened his eyes and started to chase the witch. But Patch tripped over a rock. Patch picked up the rock and put it on the side of the path. Then Patch looked at where the rock used to be and saw a paper. Patch picked up the paper. It read: Patch, jump to the highest cloud. Patch did not know what this meant, but Patch kept the clue and jumped very high just as the witch flew up. Patch jumped from cloud to cloud. The witch dived down. Patch jumped down, but without the magic wand! Patch started to fall! Patch swooped toward the witch and grabbed the wand. He floated slowly down. Then ran to the wind and said: “Dear wind, so kind you are. Please fix up a storm and blow it wherever the witch goes.” And right then the wind howled and made a storm that darted after the witch. On Patch’s way he saw a yellow shoe that was very small. Soon he came upon a castle that had the letter “G” embroidered on it. A beautiful girl came out of the castle saying: ”Thank you for finding my shoe.” The girl smiled and said: “If you ever get lost.... ” She paused. “Wish for a path.” As Patch continued he got very lost. He remembered when he ONCE had stood in front of a wand. He cried, then remembered the mysterious girl. But then he tripped. He got up and grabbed the wand. Then he wished for a path.

Chapter 3 A way out

Instantly a golden path appeared. Patch walked up the path. It led to a cottage with laughter coming out of it: “Ha, ha, ha!” Patch wanted to find out what was funny so badly, so he slowly walked up the path. He entered and looked inside to an old man that was not on the phone and neither did he have company. He was all alone. Patch gathered all his courage and said: ”What are you laughing at?” The old man turned around and said : “I have an imaginary friend. He tells lots of jokes, want to hear one?” “Ok.” said Patch. “Listen,” said the old man. A second later the old man laughed out loud: “Ha,ha good one.” Patch could not help laughing even though he did not know what the joke was. “By the way if you ever feel lonely ask the wind for a friend.” Patch said: “Bye.” Then he walked slowly down the path. The old man smiled then laughed again. Patch smiled back. He would miss the old man. Soon Patch was lonely and asked the wind for a friend. “Yes a friend.” said the wind. Then: “ha, ha!” the old man was back. But the old man was not there; Patch was imagining the old man and he could not stop. Then Patch was not lonely and continued his journey. Then Patch went up a narrow yellow path. It went up towards the sun. Patch saw a fairy. It was the fairy of the sun! “Thank you for returning my wand.” Patch had returned the wand thanks to his friend’s help.
