coaco trees normally grow in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, South America and Central America
1765 was the first time chocolate was manufactured in the United states. it took a long time to move from eurasia to the united states

Assignment:
Your Mission: Come up with a funny icon that forms a picture (apropriate, of course) to add to my little library of funny icons. See examples below for all you who are confused.

Star Wars Example
So the other day, I was on the computer and I saw the word 'lol' ( laugh out loud). I obviously had star wars on my mind and I noticed that it looked like a tie fighter from star wars. I worked out several variations of "lol" and came up with (-o-), l-o-l, and (-oo-). All of these look like some kind of Star Wars tie fighter.

Math Example
In math class the other day I noticed that the coordinate (0,0) had something special about it. When you add a parabola ( a curved line) or a line underneath, you get a monkey! The monkey is on the page next to Star Wars example.

Please, I am very interested in what other people can come up with. 8)

One legend is the legend of santa clause. It is funny because people think he is fake.

Santa Clause is said to be a man that lives at the north pole and has a workshop of elves. The elves make toys that santa delivers each year.

The second is the tooth fairy, she is very small and takes peoples teeth after they fall out and makes a castlewith them.

My last one is the lochness monster who supposedly lives in a lake near scotland. he is very scary and enormous.

response to Danielle Steadman

I want you to tell us about your favorite school year, and write one story that happened that year, that makes it your favorite.
One paragraph with specific details on why it was your FAVORITE year.

My favorite year was 2nd grade except for the fact that it was my last year in Jewell. That was the year that my crush finally said that he liked me, because i liked him for 3 years. It was also the year that I found out I could have skipped a year of School because they wanted me to skip 3rd grade.
