TIE DYE DAY By Thomas O.
We made tie dye shirts and tie dye masks. We had pizza and drinks. Jason and Marta helped with the food.
We use tie dye colors, like red, yellow, orange, green, and blue. We tie the shirts with rubber bands and we dye them.
I think it's good. I liked it, all the different colors and the tie dye shirt. We took them home. Then I wore my tie dye shirt the next day and the tie dye mask that I'm wearing today.

SHAG RUGS By Yolanda B.
It was fun teaching people how to do the stitching and stuff. Most people like to do it with their hands. But me, I prefer the hook tool. Rose Center wanted to learn how to do the rug and stuff. We gave that center some material.
WORKOUT WITH ROSE CENTER By Jamie P. and Vahid M.
We do exercises in the morning around 10:30 with Eva. We keep moving around, and Vahid was dancing. They hear the sounds and beat so fast, and get everyone's attention to work out. It makes us healthy. I follow the dance moves. I love dancing to the songs. It makes us happy. I really appreciate joining the people on Zoom. It makes me laugh. It's a really amazing day of my life doing the workout. Makes you strong, grow. We feel good, and we make it loud on the radio station. The movements are like jazz. La música es romántica! We do a lot of things like different songs. I feel happy! I feel good. It's okay, it's fine. I feel perfect. We shake our hips, our hands, our shoulders. I love Eva's moves when the song comes on.

LONG ARTICLE ABOUT TAMIRA By Marcus Womack
This is a long article about TaMira about leaving on September 24th. I miss her, because she's in a different workshop, not the same workshop. I ate cupcakes, cookies, and something to drink. "It was nice," I said. "Maybe I could visit TaMira for Halloween Party." It was so nice to visit her. Maybe she will visit for Halloween Party, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Westtown Games, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Bike the Drive, and The Ability Experience. I hope you have a great memory about TaMira. It was fun of her. I like TaMira, because she was my friend. Maybe she wear jean shorts in the summertime. It was very nice of her. I hope you'll be missing her. The article is very long. We danced at the party and we had a lot of fun. It was so sweet of her. I hope you have a wonderful time. Thank you!
BROOKFIELD 2ND DATE WITH VAHID By Jamie P.
I went to Brookfield Zoo. I came late. I see people from Envision. I had a good talk with my friends. Ruth and her sister and brother. We walk around looking at animals. Janet told me and somebody else to sit down. After that, we were walking inside the door. It looked beautiful things to see. Sophia take picture of me and Vahid. We

she'll be okay and think of me. I promise I'll change my behavior with the staff. I don't want her to cry. I don't have no contact with her, like calling her or text. I lost my best friend is TaMira. Sometimes it hurts my feelings thinking about her all the time. I can't sleep without her. I feel my heart broken and will never be happy again. She's my only best friend I have. She helps me do the TikTok song "Corvette." That's some happy memories for her. Some day in my future I'll get a job close to her, working with her and Shana in an office. I love you TaMira!

Long Article About the Zoo By Marcus Womack
This is a long article about the zoo. I saw lots of animal like tigers, elephants, and giraffe. I saw a lion in the cub, and the lion is about to roar. The lion I saw. I said, "I saw a tiger at the zoo and I had fun." I like the zoo when PACE ride called in the morning. The article is very long after I finished writing it. We walked around the zoo and we saw a lot of things. I walked around the zoo, and I use the bathroom. I had fun there. It was a nice field trip. I had lunch at the food court. I had french fries, chicken patties, and something to drink. "I wanted to go again next year," I said. "I hope you had a wonderful time at the zoo." It was a very nice yesterday outside. We went for a walk at the zoo. I hope I will go again next year. I had a lot of fun at the zoo yesterday with Janet and Jackie. Thanks for writing the article long and the handwriting looks neatly. See you again.
ROCK OF LOVE I did the show with them as a guest star. I want to say "Thank you," "Hi," and "Happy holidays" to the ladies on the show. "Hi Jes, wherever you are." I want to say "hi" to her dad too. Bret Michaels is meeting all the ladies. They come into the house. He shows them his bedrooms. He has a car when he comes to the house. They wait for him to come to the house. I like the balcony. He has a pool.
Bret Michaels was in the band Poison. He's a talented man. I like his guitars. He has a tattoo of a heart with a sword through it. He has two daughters, Raine and Jorja. He won Celebrity Apprentice in 2010.
CHARLES' ENTERTAINMENT REVIEW CADET KELLY Cadet Kelly starring Hilary Duff, Christy Carlton Romano, Shawn Ashmore, Aimee Garcia, Gary Cole, and Andrea Lewis is about a girl named Kelly. It was written by Gail Parent and Michael Walsh. Her mom is trying to get remarried again. Her father is following her with the camera in the house. She gets mad because she doesn't want to move anymore. Her mother makes her go into the Army. She didn't like the Army. She didn't like all that training she was doing in it. Christy Carlton Romano played Jen. Her character was kind of mean. She was like yelling at them. In one part, Kelly fell in the mud and put mud all over Jen's dress. Kelly had to go to court. Jen wanted her to leave but Kelly had to join the drill team. Jen trained Kelly how to throw the guns. They throw and spin them with their hands. The guns weren't real. They were plastic. They were dancing for the competition. They lost. Kelly's dad was in the mountains at the bottom. He was in danger. Kelly climbed down to him, and then they called the ambulance. I give this 2.5/5 stars because people would enjoy watching it. The people who wrote it would be proud of this movie. They would maybe win an Emmy.
