Books

    I know I write regularly about this, but this time it is special. My cousin, Charlie Giacomo, is writing a book right now, and I wanted to send him one of my books, especially for him. So this time, it's not just about mail books. If you have an idea for what I should write to him, please please please please please comment down below and tell me what you think. Also, write the idea and your name and address so I can send you and Charlie the book when it is complete. So, please tell me your ideas for books and your name and address. Thanks!!!

Day Four: Monday, June 30, 2014

Written by: Molly R. Danko

Time: 6:45 pm-7:29 pm

My Day

    Today was a very odd day in the Danko household. Dad (John Danko) had work, so it was just me (Molly R. Danko) and mom (Maura Doern Danko) for the day. We went shopping. That BARELY ever happens.

    We went to Old Navy and got Active shorts, a t-shirt, and a bathing suit for me. After that, we went to Payless and got sneakers for me. Their brand is Champion, and they are teal blue with neon orange and neon yellow. Lastly, we went to Bed Bath and Beyond to get a cup (weird, right?). We ended up getting a peacock cup with a green lid.

    At 4:20, we went to karate. I take karate at Westchester Martial Arts in Eastchester (I know that this doesn't make any sense, but Eastchester is in Westchester) every Monday and Wednesday. I have a yellow belt with one black stripe. Today, our teachers worked us hard. When I got home, I was SUPER tired, which NEVER happens. Mom said she understood because she said she saw my eyes turning dark. I could barely walk, I was so tired. So, I took a shower before dinner, and here I am, writing The Daily Mews in my pajamas while I'm waiting for dinner to be ready. It's taking FOREVER! Ugh!

News! News! News!

    So, for News! News! News! today, I have a couple things to share with you.

  One, I am doing something related to my mom's Mail Art Project. For those of you who don't know, the Mail Art Project is when mom makes paintings and sends it off to someone, with other envelopes inside for the people to send to. I am doing Mail Books. Anyone who would like to get the books mailed to you, please write your name in comments.

    Two, I just wanted to tell you that school is-- get this-- OVER!! For me, it ended Thursday, June 26!!!!!!!!!! I am SO glad!!

 

Come back everyday for more!

Day Two: May 18, 2014

Written by Molly R. Danko

My Day

    Today, dad (John) had to go to work AGAIN, so, again, mom (Maura) and I went to Harbor Island. I swung for a while, then we ate our sandwiches. I was going to get a soda, but the soda machine was broken. So, we went to Carvel, and I had a double chocolate fudge sundae, and mom got a salted caramel ice cream cone. We loved it!

The Weather

    Today, the weather was pretty much like yesterday. It was really warm, but a bit cooler than yesterday.

Music

    Today, I got some new favorite songs. My favorite songs are Party in the USA, Timber, Roar, Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat, Mr. Mistofelees, Rum Tum Tugger, Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer, and Macavity the Mystery Cat. My favorite albums that are from movies and musicals are Mamma Mia, Fantasticks, Pippin, and Cats.

Pebble Partnership Mine in Dillingham, Alaska

by Molly Danko

    The Pebble Mine in Dillingham, Alaska should not be built. I don't know how safe Pebble Partnership is, so we can't completely trust them, no matter how safe they say they are.

    The mine could destroy streams, wetlands, and salmon populations. The people in Dillingham depend on salmon for food and money, so it would be a big, bad difference if all the salmon got killed by chemicals. Mines could seriously threaten salmon. A hundred miles of streams and/or rivers could be destroyed, too.

    One good reason to build the mine is that we would get everything we wanted. The bad side of that, though, is that we MIGHT be spoiled brats (MIGHT). Another good reason is that we'd get tons of electricity, but too much electricity is bad for your eyes.

    Another reason why they shouldn't build the mine is that in Charleston, West Virginia, a company called Freedom Industries had an accident. In Charleston, the chemicals leaked and spilled into the river. The people in the town couldn't drink any of the water. An accident like that could happen in Dillingham, and the salmon would get poisoned and die.

    Those are the reasons why I think that Pebble Partnership shouldn't build the mine.

Written by Molly R. Danko

My Day

    Today, dad (John) had to go to work, so me (Molly) and mom (Maura) were on our own.

    We went to Harbor Island and I swung for a long time. Then, we went and got a soda (Sprite) and chips (regular potato chips). Mom and I ate them in front of the beach, where we saw the boats go by. We went back to the swings, and I swung some more. Then, we went home and read on the terrace.

The Weather

    Today, there was mixed weather. It was sunny and burning hot all day. On Harbor Island, it got pretty windy. It rained like crazy last night.

Books

    I am reading many books. The American Girl books that I'm reading are: Julie, Samantha, Kit, Chrissa, McKenna, Mia, Saige, Lanie, Kailey, and Kanani. I am also reading Thea Stilton, Creepella Von Cacklefur, The Secrets of Droon, Canterwood Crest, Harry Potter, poetry, Warriors, and Lord of the Rings.

Additional Note(s)

    I have written an essay for school about the Pebble Partnership Mine in Dillingham, Alaska. I will enclose it.

 

 

 

 

 

GOOD BYE!!! HAVE A GOOD NIGHT, AND A GREAT DAY TOMORROW!!!

Day One: May 17, 2014

Written by Molly R. Danko

    Last weekend, we (me, mom [Maura], and dad [John]) went to Central Park (in NYC) to climb rocks. The previous weekend, however, me and dad went to the Central Park Zoo. After that, dad encouraged me to climb rocks. I refused to at first, for I was frightened of falling. But dad had me go up, and once I had come back down, I had realized that instead of being scared, I went down quicker then I went up. So, the rest of the time we were in NYC, we were climbing rocks, having Popsicles, drinking soda, and swinging. We were having so much fun, we nearly forgot about the time.

    Back to last weekend: Before we started climbing rocks, mom, dad, and I went on a carriage ride. It was awesome! We had SO much fun. I even got to feed the horse two carrots! He was very friendly. His name was Patrick. Now, let's continue with an interview with M. Doern Danko.

Q: Did you have fun climbing rocks?

A: I didn't climb rocks as much as you guys did. The rocks were very beautiful.

Q: Did you have a Popsicle?

A: No, I had OJ.

Q: What did you do before you climbed rocks?

A: We went on a carriage ride, and walked around Central Park.

Q: What was the horse's name?

A: I think it was Patrick.

Q: Did you enjoy the carriage ride?

A: Oh, yes, it was very relaxing.

Q: Were you in Central Park very long?

A: Yeah, we were there a couple hours.

Q: Did anyone fall and get hurt on the rocks?

A: Nope. You were amazing climbing up those huge, crazy rocks.

Q: Do you go to NYC much?

A: Yeah, I like to go there a lot.

Q: Do you like riding the train?

A: Yeah, I like riding the train.

That about wraps it up for today. Go to mauramollyny.blogspot.com again this evening to see what happened today!
