Week 35 was great! We made Mothers Day cards and we had a field trip to a museum! We also typed novels! Finally we also went on middle school tours! I love being in Mr.Haney’s class!

This week’s gaming tip is: In Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure chose Trigger Happy’s shooting path when fully upgraded you don’t have to aim cause bullets bounce and you can deal 8 damage with 1 bullet and 12 with a critical! Also you can charge you shoot to a giant beam dealing 190 damage it’s good to charge right before approaching enemies so you can kill them right when they’re in range the only problem is when charged you move slowly so it’s not good for speed runs.

Week 34 was wonderful! We had a mystery scype with Texas and we walked for diabetes! We were also tortured by yoga. (before you laugh you try doing yoga for an hour) Finally I saw The Avengers at the premiere showing! (trust me really good movie) I love  being in Mr.Haney’s class!

This week’s gaming tip is: In Castle Crashers if you have a friend that has leveled the red knight then have him assist you against the corn boss cause the boss drops 1 popcorn per hit then the red knight’s lightning magic will hit him really fast allowing him to produce a lot of popcorn. Then use the popcorn to heal yourself it can save your life!

Week 33 was heavenly! We spent lots of time having fun on the ipads and computers! We also got tons of new apps! sadly  we had horrifying TCAPS! (creepy organ music) I love being in Mr.Haney’s class!

This week’s gaming tip is: In shake spears use the ability that makes your shield break your opponent’s spear and the magnet shield ability on the same turn for the best chances of breaking your foe’s spear. (also the giant shield spell helps too)

Week 32 was the blandest school week ever in Mr.Haney’s room! First of all the TCAPS practice are getting extremely repetitive, but the good news is that it’s almost over! Also we had an extraordinary complement party. Finally we got to use the outside class room! Even though the week was bland in comparison it  was still fun!

This week’s gaming tip is: In Bastion to beat the Calamity Cannon proving grounds you should get every speed upgrade and if you can afford and the homing rocket upgrade it is also hepful then. Try aim for larger groups of windbags. If a windbag gets on the panel that you’re standing on shoot them first! If they get to close to the stones you’re protecting you’ll have to blow up the stone to kill them. (due to splash damage) If you follow these steps you should succeed but if you want you can swap the homing rocket upgrade of the acid pool if you’re a good shoot I haven’t tested it but I know because I used it in a similar situation also if i’m right the windbags should die from the acid. (when you wake up the eye balls that explode when they get close by garbing one of the shards)

Week 31 wasn’t the best week but is was still fun! First of all it’s Friday the  13th so don’t try risky glitches! (from Diamond’s blog) Also yesterday was Ethan’s birthday! Last but not least we got letters from Spain! I love being in Mr.Haney’s class!

This Week’s gaming tip is: In Bastion before you have new game+ it is good to play the game on no sweat mode. If you do grab all the loot you can, invoke all the gods, (but if enemies regain hp faster then you can dish out damage don’t invoke the god that makes enemies regain HP) and only equip speed or damage based soul drinks and Fetching Fizz (to grab shards from a distance it may not save you much time at first but when enemies drop more shards it will save several minutes every 3 or 4 areas) so the play trough will be short and sweet but you’ll still be able to kill enemies fast and grab all the hidden items in a short amount of time. Then start new game+  you will have 3 new soul drinks (there a surprise) and be a high level in the early levels involk all gods chances are you’re not max level when you have 2 cores start to invoke less gods at a time but if you can keep them all invoked also  it’s good to equip damage or speed based until enemies start to deal more damage then equip more survival based soul drinks especially if all gods are invoked finally if you want the achievement / trophy that requires the 4 pets then buy pecker’s nest it is the only item that I didn’t get on my first play through also all soul drinks carry over so you should start buying the soul drinks from the lost and found so you have them if you play the game again or simply want to use them during your current play through. Oh, almost forgot upgrading buildings gives you a lot of bonus shards first upgrade the lost and found cause I think that some soul drinks can only be bought if the lost in found is upgraded same with some other items but other wise  you have all the extra items from the upgraded buildings. Also  the lost and found will still give you a shard bonus.

Coming in 1 to 3 weeks: Proving grounds.

Week 30 was a tad dull. We reviewed TCAPs which got kinda dull by day 3. Luckily we get a 4 day weekend and this week and next week are only 4 days long! Best of all Easter is coming! I love being in Mr. Haney’s class!

This Week’s gaming tip is: In Epic War 5 Titans are god for numbers 2 and 5 of the 3rd set of levels but no matter what you can’t seem to win numbers 1, 3, and 5 LOL. (1 and 3 are harder and 5 is a living nightmare )

Week 29 was great! We ate lunch outside on Thursday we ate lunch outside and we planted a garden on Wednesday! We also got our report cards! Sadly Mr.Haney had to delete Temple Run he needed the data space. I love being in Mr.Haney’s class!

This week’s gaming tip is: If you fully charge the Breaker’s Bow in Bastion then it can  break a breakable wall and keep going! So if an enemy is behind a breakable wall then charge the Breaker’s Bow and fire!

Week 28 was great! we had the last math olympiad and we made a post about where we live !(below) We also  made a novel studies movie! Finally we had spring break! I love being in Mr.Haney’s class!

This week’s gaming tip is: In Halo Reach (do to a request) Are you tired of trying to play and build in forge with friends but they keep killing you? The answer is simple! Kill them then put kill balls on the spawn poins next thing you know your watching your friends drop over when they spawn just don’t die! You will laugh your head off! When you are done building take the kill ball off and let the fight begin! (caution if you don’t stop when they ask you might be main target if you keep it up you might lose a friend if you’re not careful!)

I live in Tennessee.  It has nice weather. The roads are in tip top shape. Finally it is has the sun spear! I love Tennessee! To be more specific I live in Knoxville. It is beautiful in the fall! It is mostly sunny. Finally  it has some good places for biking! I love Knoxville! To be even more specific I live in the Rockyhill area.  It is good for gardening. Around 65% of the area is good for biking. Finally there are lots of kids in the area. (like me) I love the Rockyhill area!That is where I live hope you enjoyed it!
