Here in the Yukon there are many birds, we have a whole bunch of birds
in the Summer and quite a lot in the Winter. In the Winter we have the
Snowy Owl, Grouse, Bald Eagle, Chikadee, Raven, Ptarmigan and much more.
In the Yukon there is a bird that is called the Raven it is the bird
that represents the Yukon. The Raven is black and loves to eat
garbage so when you are here in the Yukon you should never leave
your garbage out.
Another garbage eating bird we have up her in the Yukon is the Seagull. The Seagull is usually white or grey.
One bird up here loved by many is the Eagle. There are two types of
Eagles up here, the Bold Eagle and the Golden Eagle. You can usually
find an Eagle perched up on a tree.
One of my favorite birds up here is the Red Breasted Robin. It is grey and its breast is red. It is quite a beautiful bird.
There is a bird called the Swan. It is truly a beautiful bird, it
is a beautiful white and has a beautiful long neck. There are two types
of Swans the Trumpeter Swan, it makes a trompet kind of sound, and the Tundra
Swan. Here in Whitehorse we have a place called Swan Haven, you can see
beautiful Swans there during their Spring migration.
We have some Humming birds up here. They can really startle you
if they go too close to your ear. The rufus hummingbird is the one that
migrates to the Yukon.
Here we have a bird called the Grouse, lots of people like to hunt it
in the Fall and Winter time. The grouse is quite small so you do not get too much
meat out of it.
So if you want to visit the Yukon I can promise you if you came up here
in the summer I promise you will see at least one bird most likely
more, and even if you came up here in the winter you will stil probably
see at least one bird. So came up to the yukon and see all the cool
birds.

Lots of people in my class have to get braces, one of my
friends already has braces, but she is probably getting them off in
June. I have to get braces on June 2nd, I hope it does not hurt to get
them on, my friend says it does not, so I guess I will have to trust
her. She says it hurts a bit a few days after you get them though. I
am kind of anxious to get braces and kind of not.
When you get
braces they give you a list of foods you cannot eat, that is one thing
that is bad about braces. These are some things you cannot
eat: popcorn, sticky candy, caramel, hard crust and much more.
After you
get braces they also give you a special tooth brush , water bottle, wax
and some other things.
When you are using the special brush you have to
stick it under your braces and then brush, I think it would take
quite a long time. After you get your braces off you have to wear a
retainer to keep your teeth in place, but after a while you do not.
When
you get braces you usually get to pick the colors of your elastics, my
friend says I should get yellow and orange so it looks like summer,
because I will be getting them in the summer.

Canada Winter Games
The Canada Winter Games comes around every few years. It is taking place this
year in Whitehorse. It is taking place in the month of February, the
schools here get two weeks of Spring Break. There are lots of sports
involved in the Canada Winter Games: Hockey, Skiing, Snowboarding,
Swimming and much, much more. When I am old enough I want to Snowboard
in the Canada Winter Games. I also want to Snowboard in the Arctic
Winter Games.
Whitehorse
Whitehorse is a very beautiful city, there is lots of wildlife to see,
and many cool sports you can do. There are about 20,000 inhabitants.
There are a few restaurants here, but not as many as where you might
live. We have a little mall here but I never go there, and trust me, I
love shopping, so there's not very many good stores here. But that's
okay, we live right next to Alaska so we can drive for a day and you
could be in Anchorage and go shopping. There is good fishing here, I
love to fish and I’am sure you would too. I love to snowboard and I
have never tried skiing although almost all my friends do, I tried
surfing when I was in Hawaii. Whitehorse is a very awsome place so you
should really come and visit!!!

FASHION!
When I am older I want to be a Fashion designer, I really like Fashion.
I want to be a Fashion designer because Fashion is one of my passions
and I have lots of fun putting outfits together, and making them up. I
am apostolic and so I do not wear pants, but that is fine with me. My
aunt has been taking cool pants and she has made them into skirts. If I
become a designer I would make mostly skirts, maybe a few pairs
of pants. I would make boy’s clothes to. For boys I would make
good clothes just like girls, I would not make just sporty
things, I would make dressy clothes too. I know my mom hates it when
she cannot find good clothes for my brothers.
Fashion styles have really changed; in the 70s they wore way different
clothes than we do now. I think it would be cool to have a day where
you wear clothes from the 70s. Fashion will probably change in about 10
years or maybe more. I wonder what they would look like in about 10
years.
One cool skirt I came up with is a skirt that you can velcro and
it becomes pants and then you can unvelcro it. That would really help
me, because I am not that good in gym and I think if I was wearing
pants I might do better.
