Comments:This movie is about children that want to dance  and they are like all the same except the boy's think girls are wierd and girl's think boys are wierd.
The boy's  think that the girl's are not some thing special. So the teacher told the boy's dancewith the girls,
and the girls dance with the boy's.


How do you see these students trying to work together?

:-) Today 6,000 kids from over 60 schools are required to take thus 10 week course
:-) The Dancing program is free to the republic

 Mathman: math man is a pac man version of pac man . It really is the same ,except you have to solve  questions{Math problems}while you are running away from the ghost. The game is really fun because you can write the question down ,push pause then eat the ghost that has that # on it. The farthest I have gotten is to level four,because they always corner me and I lose a life. But other than that it was really fun because it teaches you mental math,how to do two things at once,and it makes you smarter because it is a education game and it is also fun.

The game is trying to tell us that KFC is not taking care of their chickens. Also they are horrible people because they do not feed them well and they throw them against the wall.
Did youknow that KFC actually  have babys just to to get the mama chikens breast bigger so they can slice them off for the chicken breast?
I bet the chickens are scared to death because they do not even give them space they just throw them into a box at night time. KFC may be good ,but you should see what they do BEHIND THE SCENE'S!!!!!!!!!!!!
DUN,DUN,DUN
