Ladybug and Cat Noir's Powers

The earrings of the Ladybug and the Ring of  the Cat are the most powerful Miraculous. Ladybug's earrings grant the power of creation, and the ring of the cat, grants the power of destruction.

Ladybug has a yo-yo, and it is indestructible. She uses this as a shield, a form of transportation, rope, as a cutter, a phone, and for her secret superpower. To use it as a shield, she spins it really fast, so if you were to throw a pebble or a heavy object, it would just bounce off. For transportation, she throws her yo-yo, and it wraps around something, like a lamppost. Then, she pulls a little, and then she just goes through the air, while holding onto the yo-yo. For the phone, the top part of it opens up, and now it is a phone. (She has Cat Noir's Number)

Cat Noir has a metal stick, which is also indestructible. He uses it as a shield, transportation, and as a phone. He also spins his stick really fast to make it a shield. For transportation he extends it, and uses it as a type of lever. For transportation, he can also extend his stick between two buildings, and walk on it. He extends it by clicking the green paw. To make it a phone, he just clicks on the green paw, and a little screen come out.

Both superheroes have secret superpowers. Ladybug has a lucky charm. She throws her yo-yo in the air, says "lucky charm", and an object comes out. This object helps defeat the akumatized person. It could be anything, like a spoon or a chain. Then, when she finally gets the akuma out of the object, she catches it in her yo-yo, and it comes out as a regular butterfly. She throws the object that came out of her yo-yo(lucky charm), and says "Miraculous ladybug!" Then every thing that was destroyed by the villain will be turned back to normal. (The akumatized person will turn back to normal once the butterfly is captured.) It is a good thing that Ladybug can fix the city's damage, because a lot of damage is sometimes done.

Cat Noir has Cataclysm, the ultimate power of destruction. All he has to do is say Cataclysm, and the hand with the ring will have the power. Whatever he touches will be destroyed.

The only bad thing about using their super-powers is that they only have 5 minutes before they untransform. (They have to keep their identities a secret.) They can't transform again quickly, because their Kwamis need to eat and reload on energy.



New Start

It is so sad to close out the fifth grade year at this elementary school. I will be leaving this
great school. But I will not forget the great days I had here. I will be departing for my
friends. And I will sadly be departing from my teachers. This is not easy for me.
Closing out this year will be sad but fun. It will open a new chapter in my life.


Leaving the school will be like leaving home. I can only return on days that I am free. It would
be like I am not where I’m supposed to be because I will be new going to middle school it
might uncomfortable there but I will be comfortable with some of my friends there. It won’t
be easy leaving the school that I have been with since I was 5 to go to a whole new one.


I will be leaving my friends. They brighten up my day and make the way more fun. I will only
have a few that will be going to the same school. I will not forget my friends that have been
with me since pre-school. I will surely make new friends but none of them would be like the
ones that I have had in elementary school and preschool. And feel like getting rid of some
of the family member that I have been with since the start. It is very sad for me but I am
also very happy.


I will also be leaving The teachers that I knew about before I even got to the elementary
school. Such as the teachers that my siblings had and several other teachers that either
retired or left. These teachers will all have a place in my heart. I will never forget them
because they were very special to me. Even the ones that did not teach me. I expect
all of them and will remember all of them.

Leaving my school will not be easy. Leaving everyone I know. Leaving everyone I knew
since I was only five. I will never forget my elementary school. Closing out the year will
be so sad but so great at the same time. I will be closing out one chapter of my life
opening another. I can’t wait but at the same time I can. I love elementary school and
will never forget it EVER.

Going to the Next Level

I am nearing the end of 5th grade. I am very happy to culminate the fifth grade, but I am also sad.

I am sad that I will be leaving my friends and my teacher. I will miss them. Especially the friends that have been here since day 1 of 4/5th grade. I have learned so much over these 2 years. My teacher has pushed me to be better. She is the best teacher I’ve ever had.

But I am a little bit scared going off to middle school. But I am still excited to going to middle school too. I hope I will do good in science, math, and other classes. I am thinking that middle school will be amazing. I will savor every last moment of 5th grade.

The Next Step

In 7 weeks I will no longer be a 5th grader. I will be a 6th grader.  Being in six grade means I will be in middle school.  It also means change. Change to me is very terrifying because everything is brand new. But I know that I will be able to push through it and do my best.

I will also miss my friends and my teacher.  I am so grateful for all the things they did for me. Especially my teacher, she pushed me so hard sometimes I thought my head was going to explode. But even though I felt that way, I know it helped me a lot.

I already have my mind set on what I want to do with my life and how I'm gonna do it. And I know that If I put my mind to it my dream will be accomplished.

A New Chapter (Or A Few Sentences) In My Life

5th grade is almost over. Therefore elementary school is done. So now is time for middle school. I am very scared and nervous.

This is a very important part of my life. This is because now I know I'm growing up. And some things won't stay the same but...... I will really miss my school. I already have an idea where I'm going and I've been there before so I'm not as nervous as I should be.
All I can be sure of is that I'm going to be okay.
So... YAY.

I LOVE MY SCHOOL!!!!!!! Especially my teacher and my friends.

My New Stuff Animal

   
        On April 15th, 2018, it was my cousin's baby shower. We went to her husband's grandpa's house because the party was going to be there. When we got there, there was stuff animals of TV shows on the tables. I saw my favorite stuff animal. Pua, the pig from the movie Moana. Pua is a name in Hawaiian, which means Flower. The reason I like Pua is because it is cute, adorable, fluffy, and funny. When I watched the movie Moana, at that moment, I started to love Pua.

       In the middle of the party, my cousin gave all of us a necklace with a baby sucker on it. She told us, "The game is going to be fun because if you have a necklace on, you can not bend/cross your arms or legs, but if you do, if somebody sees you, then the person has to take your necklace and then your out. The person with more necklaces, wins a stuff animal in the table." When she said that, I knew I was going to win. After an hour or two, the game was over. Obviously, I won because I wanted the stuff animal. When she called me up, She said, "So Mariana, which stuff animal do you want?" I told her Pua and my little baby cousin started to cry because she wanted it. I was happy I won it because if I didn't, I would be mad. To this day, I have Pua and I love it more than anything in the whole wide world, even my dog. 

So Classtopians, do you love a stuff animal more than anything in the whole wide world? If so, which stuff animal? And if it is from a show/movie, what show/movie?



Entering The Middles

Wow I'm so proud of myself, I have nearly accomplished my journey through elementary school Elementary School has been great since the day I walked in when I was very young.

 The teachers have guided me through all of my grades until now and they have told me to follow my dreams and they always told not only me the other students that if we want to be successful in life we have to pay attention in class.

Students have also been nice to me and been a great help. Right now I would name all the people that have been nice to me, make me laugh, and they been there for me whenever I need help.

Now that I'm almost culminating I am going to end the beginning and enter the Middle. I am very excited for this to happen to me not only because of the fact that I'm going to be in a higher grade than I am but I will not be flunking. YAY!


Lucas The Donkey

Lucas is the best donkey I've ever known. And I think the only donkey I'll ever get to know. Lucas is nice and sweet. He is a small donkey but with a big heart.

On Sunday the 15th of April, I went to Topanga. Topanga is the best place and I really love it. This is because when you're at Topanga you feel free. I know this might be a little deep but that's how I feel. This is because you feel the air all in your face at once. And you discover new things. Like snakes live there. They're almost everywhere in Topanga. Sometimes when you going into the mountains or just hiking you might be  a little scared. But enough about that let's talk about Lucas!!

 Lucas is cute and sweet but he prefers girls over boys. I don't know why but it's really funny. My Dad's friend told him that Lucas like the women more than the men. So my dad got closer and Lucas turned his head. My mom and I thinking that was really funny, laughed. Then when I got closer he stayed and let me pet him. I hugged him and I wanted to get on him but I knew that I was way too heavy for that cute little donkey. So my sister got on him.

I was really jealous. I touched his forehead and that was the softest part he had. I had so much fun and especially liked petting Lucas.

Miraculous:Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir Is The Best Show Ever

Recently, I have been obsessed with a show. This show is on Netflix. It is called Miraculous:Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir.

In December, I went to a little girl's birthday, she turned 5. Her Birthday Party's Theme was about the show. I wasn't really into the show back then.

In late February, my little sister started watching it. I did not watch with her, because I thought I would not like it. But then, one day, I was bored, so I went to watch some t.v I was going to watch a movie on Netflix in my parent's room, but my little sister was already there. I didn't want to kick her out, so I just sat and watched Miraculous with her. It turned out I actually liked the show, and started watching more and more.

 By early March, I had finished watching the whole season. There was only 1 season, so I was disappointed. Then, I did some research, and found out that the first 12 episodes of season 2 was going to come out March 30. That was a Saturday. I circled the day on my calender, and waited for it to come out. Then, the morning it come out, which was on a Saturday, I woke up at 9:00, which was earlier than usual. I was so excited, I immediately turned on the t.v., and went to Netflix. I woke up my little sister, and we watched together. Once we finished those episodes, I wanted to see the next ones. But, they had not come out yet. So, I had to wait from March 30 to April 13 for ONE Episode to come out. So that's where I am now, waiting for the next episode(s) to come out.

In Miraculous ladybug, the main characters are Marinette, Adrien, and Hawk Moth. They live in Paris, France. Marinette and Adrien were chosen to get a Miraculous, which is a jewel. Marrinette got an earring, and Adrien got a ring. So, they put them on, and then a Kwami appears. A Kwami is a magical being that goes inside the miraculous, and makes them magical. So, the 2 kids have to say something in order to transform into Ladybug and Cat Noir.  Marrinettte says Tikki, spots on, and Adrien says, Plagg, Claws out. Ladybug gets a yo-yo, which is indestructible. Cat Noir gets a stick that is also indestructible. (I'll make another blog to explain more about the yo-yo and the stick)

Anyways, there is a guy named Hawkmoth, and he is the villian. He has a Miraculous, too , but he uses it for evil. He has the power to give a person powers, and make them his sidekick. But, he uses his powers for evil. He has a lair, and it has white butterflies. When someone gets angry or sad, he gets a butterfly and turns it purple. (It is no called an Akuma) So, the Akuma flies to the person, and it touches an object that the person has. Once that happens, the person gets their powers, and do whatever they want. But then, Hawkmoth tells them if they want to keep their powers, they have to get Labybug's and Cat Noir's miraculouses.(I'll put more info in my other blog.) That's when Ladybug and Cat Noir come in. They use their powers, and unakumatize the person, which is to make that person normal again.

In my OPINION this is the BEST Show ever on Netflix!

I will keep my readers updated.

New Glasses

On Saturday April 14, it was time to reveal something that I have been waiting 2 weeks for them. MY NEW GLASSES. When I got to the optometrists office they identified that I was Katherine and they presented my glasses to me. My glasses look so nice, I was very thrilled.

As soon as I got to hold them I had to learn some new tips in how to take care of them.       

 First, they told me that the glasses had screws on the corners and whenever they unscrew to take them back to get fixed or fix them myself. Well not me but my mom.

Then, I learned how to put them on and take them gently so they won't break.

Lastly, they told me that I can go to CVS and buy a special spray that can clean them.

The glasses were very comfortable and most importantly they helped my eyesight.






My New Shoes

On April 2nd, 2018, my parents, siblings, and I went to Citadel Outlets. Citadel Outlets is an outdoor mall with popular shoe and clothes brands. Citadel Outlets is located in Citadel Drive. We go there every month to shop for shoes/clothes. When we got there, we went to the store Puma to get my brother some sweaters. After we finished buying every body's things (Except mine) we went to get some ice cream and then we went to get me some sweaters, shirts, and shoes at the store Nautica. When we were done shopping, we went to my aunties house to make some cupcakes. I was happy to have new shoes, sweaters, and shirts. I hope I can get more next time. 

So Classtopians, have you been to Citadel Outlets and bought new shoes/shirts/sweaters?

Chloe's New Haircut



   On April 6th, 2018, we took Chloe to a dog grooming, I ♥️ puppy plus. We had to be there at 3:30 p.m. When we got to the dog grooming, there were dogs barking. We wrote down Chloe's name and waited to be called. When it was Chloe's turn, the lady told us that it will take 1 hour and 30 minutes to groom her. Meanwhile, we went to Mateo's Ice Cream and Fruit Bar.  When we were done with our ice cream, we went to the car to wait for the lady that works at the dog grooming to inform us that they had finished grooming Chloe. 

   A few minutes later, they called us that they had finished grooming Chloe. When we went to see Chloe......I was sad. When we saw Chloe, she looked like a rat. The lady that worked there was standing in front of us, so we couldn't complain. When we got in the car, Chloe was shaking and she was shedding  a lot of hair. I don't have to worry because Chloe's hair grows fast and she will become fluffy again in about 2 weeks, but this was the worst experience for Chloe.

Hooda Math Duck Life

There is a game that is called "Hooda Math", this game holds a bunch of other games that have to do with math. My favorite game in the whole website is called "Duck Life", in this little game you have to boost your stats by eating berries and training, there are 4 different stats running, flying, sliding, and swimming. You can also change the color of your duck, change your hair style, and get Hats. The game is also downloadable on mobile devices.

A Frog Tail

Once upon a time, Jenny went to the bathroom and jumped so high up letting out a
big scream. Her head was almost touching the ceiling. There was a frog in the toilet!

“Mom, come quick!” said Jenny.

Then her mom came dashing through the hall breaking
pots and plates.

“What happened sweetie?” said mom.

“There is a frog in the toilet!” said Jenny.  

Mom looked in the toilet and said ”Jenny ha-have you been taking those
special vitamins?” 

It turns out that when Jenny turned around to tell Mom that the
frog was in the toilet, the frog leaped into the bathtub. When Jenny and mom left
the bathroom the frog leaped on Mom’s head causing a big commotion.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!’’ said Mom and Jenny. Mom ran out of the house
and shook her head next to the garage.

“Get out of my hair you little green monstrosity!!” said mom.

The frog jumped out of the moms hair and jumped into
the garage and into the open car window.


Jenny and mom hurried into the car and went straight to the salon. When they
opened the door and went into the salon the frog followed. When mom sat
down to get her hair cleansed the frog went wild and broke mostly everything.
Mom ended up paying $2,000 and getting banned from that salon for life.
Mom was so mad she could have been in a professional boxing match and won.
The day was still not over and the frog was still interfering. The frog ended up in
mom’s purse.
Mom’s day had not been going as planned. All she wanted to do was sit down
and eat while watching television. A lot was going through mom's mind
as she was driving home from the salon. She was thinking of what she would
do if this frog keep on interfering with her life. Mom had suddenly got an
idea. She thought that she could go to the pond and let the frog down there.
Mom sped down to the park and and brought the purse. “Mom stop!”
Mom waited for Jenny to catch up. Jenny snatched the frog and said
“ What is the date?" "It is the 1st of April.” said mom. Mom dropped her purse
and laughed so hard that she started to cry.

On the way home mom could not stop laughing. “So what is his name?” asked
mom. “I do not know. He is not mine he is for my friend Marisol, you have seen
her before.she asked me to babysit sit him for the weekend. Oh and by the way
I would just like to tell you April Fools. I set the whole thing up.”. When mom
and Jenny got home mom said “ You are grounded!” Jenny understood why.
“At least it was worth it.” said Jenny.

The following day Jenny’s father Mike, stayed home. He hated frogs and then he
saw Jenny’s friend’s frog in the toilet. He ran back to the room and got a long stick. Thankfully Jenny stopped her father in time.” Jenny I hate frogs and you now that sweetie!!!” said Mike. Then that same day the frog found a way to get inside of the parents room! Jenny heard a loud girly scream. It was coming from her father's room. Then she turned to see if the frog had still been inside of the cage but he was gone. Jenny knew that this could not be good. She dropped everything and dashed up the stairs into her father’s room. There she saw Mike crunched up in a corner under a blanket and the frog just staring at him like “Really.” Jenny picked up the frog and laughed at her father while pointing. “What happened to the big man with a stick dad.” said Jenny. “Jenny you are grounded.”said Mike. Then Jenny had been grounded for two weeks including the amount of time her mother grounded
her for which was a month.

That Monday Jenny had told the whole school. Then when Jenny's parents went to open house... everybody laughed at them. including the principal on the TA system. Then Jenny got grounded for six months. Including the month and two weeks.

Music Class For Me

My parents wanted me to do an activity instead of being at home so my mom signed me up for music class. Now every Monday and Wednesday I take guitar lessons.

Last Saturday, I had a performance. My guitar class played a song called "Looking at the Clouds". At the performance there was also dance, ballet, choir, recorder, violin,drum and other instruments or activities. At the end of the show they all played together. It was amazing!

I enjoy taking guitar classes. I hope I get better each day!

A Wrinkle In Time

On Sunday March 18, 2018, the movie A Wrinkle In Time was still in theaters.  My step-mom and I went to watch it! The movie was a very good movie because of the tense moments, that made the movie very interesting. In the movie a girl named Meg has been alarmed by the three Misses who told that her father cried for help in the universe. The movie was really sad when the dad was found. I cried a lot in the movie. I can not say anymore about the movie or else I will spoil it for my friends that want to watch it as well. If you have not watched it make sure to watch it. It is a really good movie I promise you.
This is my movie ticket.


Bananas, Bananas, And Bananas

This weekend I learned something about bananas. I found out that there are more than 2 types of bananas. Before, I only knew about the regular banana, and also about plantains. Then, on Saturday, I discovered two more types of banana. Those bananas are baby bananas and burro bananas. I like baby bananas because they are so tiny. Burro Bananas are kind of like baby bananas, but a little bit bigger. 

These are burro bananas.


A Trip To Ensenada

My trip to Ensenada was amazing. It was no ordinary trip that you have to take a plane, I actually went there by boat! It was fun it was a cruise. I went with my dad, stepmom, and  step sister. Me and my step sister had so much fun we went to the pool almost all every day, we went to a diva show, we played jenga and bean bag tossing by the pool, and we watched two comedy shows.  They were really funny, but the most fun part that my step sister and I both agreed on was racing my stepmom and dad to our room or to the main lobby.

A reason why my stepsister and I would race my dad and stepmom was because my dad and stepmom  could never agree on what to take either the stairs or the elevator. My stepsister and I always agreed to take the stairs because the elevator took way too long to come but my dad and stepmom always agreed on the elevator because they would not keep going up and down stairs. They said they will only do it if we had our room a little bit more high up because we were on level four and the main lobby was at level ten so they did not feel like going up and down stairs. And what was also really fun about it because my stepsister and I kept winning them all the time even though the elevator is technically faster than stairs.

Once we got to Ensenada my step mom's friend picked us up from boat and took us horseback riding !!! I only sat on top of the horse I was too scared to go all the way to the beach with the horse but my step sister and stepmom did my dad stood with me waiting for them. While we were waiting for them we actually got to pet one of the horses and actually we got to see how the man bring in the foal and train them to get used to people. After that my step mom's friend took us to a beach. It was cool because when the waves keep hitting each other and made this big gush of water and it was so big that it wet most of us. We also got to collect a few items from the beach. My step sister got four sand dollars, a clam, and a flower. I just got a flower but my stepsister gave me two of hers but one of them broke so I only have one. They are very fragile. In the same area  you can play with wild animals they have rescued. My step sister and I went to play with a lion cub they rescued. He was really heavy but I only carried him for a little bit because he doesn’t like to be carried. After we went to eat my step mom and my dad ate what I think was oyster with shrimp, cheese, lime, and different things on it. My step sister and I ate tacos. After that we went walking and I bought a shawl for my teacher. Then we had to go back on the boat. I had so much fun I hope I can go on a cruise again soon.

Martin Luther King Jr. Remembered

On Monday,  March 26th,  I went to the park. When I went to the park I saw a stone monument to Martin Luther King Jr.  On it was a picture and parts of his famous I Have A Dream Speech. His dream was for people of color to have equal rights as whites in America.
I liked seeing this because I think it is time for people to start remembering what he stood for.

Today I remembered that my dad and I  were watching TV and the show was talking about how Martin Luther King was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee in 1968 at 6:01 CST.  He died today, April 4th.  It has been 50 years since his death.
And maybe somethings have changed, but not a lot.

This is the picture of the Monument
