SHORT ARTICLE ABOUT TALENT SHOW

By Marcus W. This is a short article about Talent Show. I wear nice clothes, hair cuts, shave faces, and ready to sing. The Talent Show was okay and they are ready to sit down. "It sound great when, I sing," I said.

"I always enjoyed myself." I always say nice thing to the Talent Show and watched the audience.

The kids are in the chair and sing in a nice melody music on stage. It is fun to watch the kids sing in the Talent Show. I hope you'll come again next year for the Talent Show.

MEET ADAM RAPAZ I like Nashville. I have a job here. I look at my watch so I know what time it is, so I will be on time. I am saving money to get my own cell phone. I like helping people. I always help my friends and my training counselors. I help at home too. I like learning stuff. I do my job good so I can make money. I make sure that I am on time for work.

I am responsible for myself. I know my coping skills. I know how to calm myself down now when I get mad and frustrated.

I want to be a police officer. I like ambulances and fire trucks. I like going to the fire house to see what they do. I like baseball, golf, and all of the Power Ranger movies. I like it when we talk about safety at Nashville. I like the other groups too and going on fun outings. I like coming here every day.

MARD

MARDI GRAS

By Dahla K. and Linnea W. We worked the Mardi Gras dinner on Fat Tuesday! Miss Susan the boss was there, Mark and his wife, Stephanie from Star Farm, and many other people. Gloria played the piano, and we painted the gallery. Chef Bruce helped us prepare for the dinner. We made cornbread, jambalaya, the mussles, and coleslaw. We had king cake for Mardi Gras dessert. Dahla said, "It was nice! I enjoyed working in the environment and working with the people and the food." Linnea said, "I think it's hard for me to stand on my feet all night, but I had fun." We can do it next year again!

I GRAS MARDI GRAS

By Vahid M. The people making food. They shaking hands, saying, "Good job making food. Good job, excellent." I want to tell Chef Bruce, "Thank you for sharing food, and thank you for drink, and thank you for Monika, Kristen, Susan, Jimmy Sanchez, and Vahid." I like the cornbread, and the tacos. Like chicken and spicy.

Thank you for coming. I lost my shirt. My t-shirt, medium/large, I lost it. Me and Jimmy Sanchez looking for my shirt. Looking for my shirt and we running. I talked to Shonda. I talked to her and said, "Please, if you look for my shirt, give it to me, put it in Westtown.

Give it to Hannah or to Jimmy Sanchez or to Garyn."

She say, "It's not there," and I say, "Okay, it's fine." I told Monika, "Thank you for dressing me out." I making picture and say, "Come closer, come closer a little bit more." Put it on camera, TV, and say, "Excellent, good job." Put it in the camera. Put away camera, put away in the purse. Put it in the bag. Everything, put it away.

Put it back home at Westtown. Come back at 6:45.

My ride, he come pick me up at 6:45.

THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE I like the music. It's different, like orchestra music. I like the characters in the movie. I like the dog, Toby. He's cute. I like Frank Welker, the dog's voice. Ratigan is evil. Vincent Price is Ratigan's voice. Lady Mouse is the little girl. She is kidnapped in the movie.

Shani Wallis is the voice of Lady Mouse. Eve Brenner is the voice of the Mouse Queen. I like the animation of the voices in the movie. I like the scenery in the movie, in London. It's beautiful - the bridge, the buildings, Big Ben. It's similar to Sherlock Holmes. They are all mice in the movie. I like the theme music to the movie.

CHARLES' ENTERTAINMENT REVIEW LEAN ON ME I saw it. My school took me to the theater down there to see the whole thing. I like the music. Bill Withers wrote "Lean on Me." The director's name is John G. Avildsen. I like the characters in it.

Morgan Freeman played a principal. He was in Batman Begins and Driving Miss Daisy. I like his suits. I like his ties. He was a tough principal in the movie. He was yelling in there. Beverly Todd played Miss Levias. I like her dress. I like her character, her voice in it. It takes place in Eastside High School. The school is located in New Jersey.

I give it 4 stars because I like it. I love it.
