Biodegradable

Do you know what a landfill is?
Well, first of all, where does our trash go? So, you know how the trash cans are put outside so that they take our trash. Once they take our trash, where do they dump it? You might say, " Well who knows? It's just a mystery that you need to find out." It's not though! It goes to a landfill. Do you know the trash that's biodegradable is made into a playground? So, while you're playing in the playground the things you are stepping on is trash not ground. Just under ground trash. One day at my school in India, we were playing a game called Success. That's when you have to put your hand through and make a tunnel sturdy enough on the top. For that you need to dig deep. As we were digging, one of my friends felt something slimy. She took her hand away. We asked her What was it? She said, I think it was a baby turtle. She was right. It's shell was slimy because it was a new shell. Just then our bus driver came and said he had found a crab! From that day on, I thought our school was once underwater. Now that's a mystery that shall be solved some day.

Bigot

Do you believe in Jesus or any Indian god if you're Hindu? Or if you're Muslim do you believe in Allah? Well other religions or countries have gods and goddess but I didn't mention them. What if someone told you they didn't like god or they didn't believe in god. Would you get really angry? Well then if you DO you are a bigot.

Bifurcate

So, what's bifurcate? Bifurcate means to divide into two branches or parts. (Branches mean parts of a store, school, or office.) So, for instance, I see one store in my city (Fremont.) Then I see the same store in another city ( Emeryville.) That is a branch. In what they mean here. It's almost like a tree. You have the head place of all the branches. Then you have the little branches that are part of the head. Same as a tree. Isn't it?
Ok, bye!

Bereave

You know a robber can bereave stuff  from you. Well, a robber as you know will take things from you by force. So, bereave means that. That means bereaving is being robbed. There are hijackers who also take things away from you by force. But they hold up the vehicle and then they do their part. Ok bye!

Bequeath

Do you know what bequeathal is? Well it means to give a will to someone especially a relative.
A will is when you give money to your relative before you die. They get all that money. RICH! RICH! RICH! That's what they become. Only if that relative that died had a lot of money though. Or if you had money like a medium person not poor or rich you would become rich. Ok bye for now.

Benign


What is the other word for, “Oh, that snake is completely harmless.” HARMLESS IS THE WORD! HARMLESS! What is another word for harmless? BENIGN! Benign means harmless! Well, anyway a snake is benign only when not being harmed. There are a few snakes that don’t have venom or spray poison. Those are mostly in North America. That’s the reason I don’t have to be scared especially in California of harmful snakes. But guess what there’s theft and that is absolutely not benign.

Benighted


I love love love it when it is benighted. It’s like the night is a knight with dark armor that’s covering the sun over everyone. That’s how I feel. Many thieves love the dark because they can steal more easily. Unless there’s a car passing by and stops by seeing a man stealthily going towards the house. But I wouldn’t want to steal when I grow up. I just love the dark the… WAY IT IS!

Beneficent

You know what? I'm beneficent. That's because when my grandparents came to America we gave them many of my small clothes and they gave it to poor people in India. We also gave the orphanage a playground set when we were in India. We got it in America and we played with it in India. Then we gave it to the orphanage because we couldn't take it to America. You can help poor people in many other countries too. Bye!

Belie


Have you ever worn a disguise (not in Halloween?) My friend has. Once even our whole class belied ourselves as famous people. I was Mother Teresa. Ok now what my friend did. First it was her with no disguise on. Then she put on her sunglasses and a few other different clothes than before. Ok I hope you enjoyed the session. Take Care ‘n Hasta La Vista. You’re going to go bye-bye. Aren’t you?

Bask


Have you ever been in a hammock? Not me! If you ask me, I’ve never been in one.  Isn’t it perfect to bask? I’m sure a hammock must feel comfortable. Either when you’re sweaty, you can put it in the shade or when you’re cold like I am right now then you can place it in the sun. The reason I’m cold is because my house is cold when it’s hot out. And it is warm in the house when it’s cold out. Ok, bye. Hope you enjoy hammocks this Summer.

Bashful

You know me? I'm bashful. Also sensitive to everything that happens either movie or real life I am sad. But of course I have to be happy sometime. I love to laugh at the things my friends and family say. Usually my friends and I burst out laughing when our teacher says something even though it's not funny.
So shall we end the session for today? Bye.

Barren


“I lack in studies.”
Have you heard that sentence before? You might have if you read Indian Children’s Magazines. Well another word for lack is……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….  BARREN!
I’ve heard that word before. Here is a key word! If you take out one of the Rs and the N out, it is bare. So, barren almost means the same thing. Barren means doesn’t have and bare also means doesn’t have. Ok bye. Reeeeeeeeeemeeeeeeeeember I can’t appease my hunger.

Barbaric

One day, in Social Studies I studied about barbaric people. For example: Native Americans and Americans before government came. Americans always fought with the Indians and shot them with guns. Many died. It's very sad. Only later did the reservations come up. Still many of their relatives live 'til today in palatial homes. But a few tribes don't exist because the dying of them made them unknown to modern day people. Like us. Ok bye!

Bane

Do any of you seek the bane of anybody? You wouldn’t want to. It may sound pretty to say, but is not pretty to do. In this usage it means death, but in another usage it means to kill by poisoning. So don’t you dare do that. In an example of a movie it is it is in Peter Pan the human version. Captain Hook poisons Peter Pan, but instead Tinkerbelle dies because she stopped Peter Pan from drinking the poisoned water or medicine.

Baffle

Have you ever been baffled about anything? To be baffled is when you are puzzled. When something is difficult to do, then you might get baffled. I've got baffled many times. Especially when doing puzzles and also when I do Computer Games where you have to find the hidden pictures then do a puzzle. Ok bye.

Axiom


Sara: An axiom? Huh? What do you mean? I’ve only heard of axis.
Mara: Well, an axiom is a math problem that doesn’t need proving.
Sara: Oh, I get it!
Mara: So, like I was saying. The type of math that doesn’t need proving is probably Logic.
Mara: Am I right everybody in the audience.
Audience: Yes you are right. But, Boo! Boo! We want funny.
Mara and Tara: Ok, Ok.
Tara: It’s the Clown Show. Ta ta taratara Tatataratara terrrrrrrrr te tur te.
Mara and Tara: Ok, there, bye.

Averse


One day, which is today I was so averse in the morning. When I saw the time I saw that I was late for the class I had booked on Tutor Vista. I rushed on what I had to do in the morning. I woke up, went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth so quick and landed in the kitchen at the perfect time. I quickly logged in on Tutor Vista. I also Joined the Session at the right time. So, goody me. Bye, for now.

Avarice

Are you ever greedy? Do you steal from your friends? If you do you must have avarice. You have GREEDINESS I tell you. GREEDINESS! It’s bad to tell you that. It’s ok to do pranks on mean people, but then you always have to sneak and put it back or confess what you did. Ok, bye, see you.

Auxiliary

On Tuesday, Electra and I, were an auxiliary for teachers taking care of the Jr. K. We mostly had to spend time with the kindergarteners-2 in the evening though. But at least we had a friend in Kindergarten: Sanjana. We played with her on the see-saw which was a fake airplane, and we played tag. But later, we stopped because we were exhausted. Then we played Watermelon on the slide. The first person to slide down stops and sits on the bottom of the slide. Then the people who are participating slide down to a stop. Then when everyone’s done we get up and repeat it. That’s how we ended our day.

Aura

My friend Electra always says the aura in my hair from the Rosemary oil and the Lavender oil smells good. But, the strong smell of it is the smell she doesn’t like. So, can you guess what aura means? AROMA! AROMA! Something GOOD-SMELLING. So she doesn’t like the aroma of the oil. Isn’t that really bad for her? But I know some people don’t like some smells. So, I guess that’s all for today! Bye!

Audible

Whenever I sing in the bathtub, my parents are not audible of hearing me. Sometimes, they think I didn’t sing at all. When I’m singing in the bathtub so loud and so good and thinking my parents had heard me. But what? They actually didn’t. Well, anyway I’m going to be late for school. So, bye.

Atypical

Do your friends think you are atypical?Do YOU think YOU are different? You probably don't like your friends do you?
It's either bullies that break your friendship, or you don't like your friend, but they like you. Whatever it is let's get back to the word atypical.
Atypical means unusual, different, and irregular and all those stuff. So,if you feel atypical,hey, just tell your parents or teacher they will fix the problem.

Atheistic

Being atheistic is a crime to me. Why shouldn’t you believe in god? You are god. That means that you don’t believe in yourself. God is real to me. Each country has different gods. Even sometimes different cities have their own gods. I believe that god made the things that man can’t do. We are not sure though if god really existed.Ok, bye.
