Siberian Tigers
Siberian tiger’s are the most beautiful animals. Did you know, that the Amur tiger species is the largest cat? It is sad, that the Siberian tigers are nearly extinct. The Amur tiger’s strength is powerful.
The Amur tiger lives throughout Russia, China, and North Korea. Most Siberian tiger live on hills, mountainsides, and Russia. Their nickname is Amur tiger.
Siberian tigers follow long roads instead of deep snow to save energy. Their eyes are facing forward instead on each side of the face, so they can see farther and hunt prey better. The Amur tiger can consume 88 pounds of meat per day, and they also can take down animals larger then its self. [National Geographic]
The Siberian tiger can grow about 11ft in length, including the tail. Also it can pounce about 5 meters high. The averaged weight for a male Amur tiger weighs about 700 pounds, and a female is about 400 pounds. The Amur tigers paw strength is incredibly strong; one swipe can crack a bear’s skull. [Siberian tiger documentary]
The Siberian tiger’s are nearly extinct. There are about 400 to 500 Siberian tigers in Russia. The female Siberian tiger’s are nearly gone. The Siberian tiger lifespan is 8 to 10 years old. ["Tiger Facts and Information."]

PS3 vs. Xbox 360 by Alan (5th Grade)
Gamers around the world are raging over the best console. Is it the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3 (PS3)? In January 2013, 77 million PS3 consoles had been sold, but the Xbox 360 had sold 23 million more consoles than the PlayStation 3. So, the Xbox is more popular but is it better?
The price for a regular x box 360 is $200.00 it contains 4gb and a wireless controller. The x box 360 elite holds 250gb in the hard drive and costs $300.00. If you like motion sensor games you can get the x box 360 it has 4gb and costs you $300 unless you want the other elite you can get 250gb and an additional kinect sensor costs. Although the regular ps3 holds 160gb in the hard drive and is obtainable for $250. With $50 more dollars you can download more equipment from PSN because the regular ps3 comes with 156gb more than the original x box 360, but the bundle with 320gb with a blue ray movie it would charge you $350
The processer is like the brain, and a fast processor prevents glitching, so processing power is the most important part off the console the Xbox 360 is a year older than the ps3 and perhaps less powerful- at least by processor speed. However, years of cross- platform games transported similar performance on each have been proven that, where it counts, the two systems are equal.
Game selection: most video games can play on both platforms; however, some of the series are for one console. The best series of games for the Xbox are Call of Duty, elder scrolls, and madden NFL games. Ps3 games are God of War, Forza, and Gran Turismo. The PS3 and Xbox is a tie with games.
Many consoles play movies; Xbox and PS3 are no exception. Microsoft bet it all on DVDs, but Sony embraced a blue-ray format in the PlayStation 3 from the opening. Microsoft added an optional HD-DVD drive, but it did not add much compared to the blue-ray drive on the PS3.
Xbox Live and PlayStation Network (PSN) are both rich Internet services, and they both are related. For example, you can talk to friends in or out of the game, and you can watch Netflix or Hulu on the PlayStation 3 and X box 360. PSN is cheaper because you only pay 17.99 for 3 months and the Xbox is 24.99 for three months, and for a year on PlayStation 3 it is 49.99 for the Xbox 360 it is 59.99, plus you can watch more streaming on PlayStation 3.
Both the Xbox and the PS3 have motion controls, but the Xbox Kinect’s is the best. Kinect Adventures sold 18 million copies; that is more than any other game on the PS3 or Xbox.
The Xbox Kinect has unique features. While the PlayStation Move notices you waving around a wand, the Kinect Camera detects your movement with out props or batteries. Most people don’t get an Xbox because of the Kinect, but it is still fun.
Even it was a close battle in my opinion I think the PS3 is better than the Xbox 360. It has more power, plays blue ray DVDs, and you can watch streaming online. In my experience, PS3 doesn’t break as fast as an Xbox 360. Additionally, it has scratched some of my games over the years. So, which one is your favorite?

Why Did People Migrate to North America? (Alan - Grade 5)
The Age of Exploration or Age of Discovery was a time when Europeans risked their lives riding across the oceans in the 1500s, 1600s, and 1700s. Most explorers who came to America wanted to find new trade routes, gold, and freedom. Conquistadors craved gold and silver, missionaries desired to preach to people who didn’t believe in Jesus, and colonists sought to be free. Whatever their reasons, these explorers wanted to find something new in their world.
Explorers from Europe blazed to many new places around the world. Some pioneers traveled to North America to investigate new people, new resources and new challenges. Explorers also traveled to setup trade with other nations; Christopher Columbus wanted to import and export goods in India, but he landed in America instead.
The Spanish word conquistador means conqueror in English. In the 16th century, the conquistadors left Spain in clipper ships. The conquistadors went to America to find gold and silver. Sadly, they conquered the Native Americans and used them for slaves.
Another type of European that migrated to the New World were colonists. Colonists were Englishmen, and other Europeans, who lived in the American colonies. They wanted to explore the other side of the world. In England, James I started a civil war, and the government treated the citizens unsympathetically. The civil war drove many Englishmen to a new place. Also, England’s economy was unstable; so many people were living in abject poverty. Many of these poor people moved to new places, including the American colonies. However, religious turmoil was the main reason why people traveled to the new world. Killing over religious arguments made people like the Puritans retreat from England to form their own place.
Missionaries are people who travel to new places, like colonists, but missionaries desire to serve and share their religion freely with new cultures. Portuguese, Spanish, and English missionaries floated across the ocean along with conquistadors, colonists, and explorers. When they arrived in North America, Missionaries taught Catholicism and farming, and built schools and hospitals.
Ladies and gentlemen from Europe wanted to find new places, map trade routes, locate gold and silver, do justice, find freedom, and preach to people. America was rich in all of these things. Missionaries, colonists, conquistadors, and explorers came with big dreams, but not all were happy about the trip. Some killed Native American people and the Native Americans killed others. Some stole, others enslaved Native Americans, some starved to death, but others survived and saved their dreams. Europeans migrated to North America, and changed history.
