AI, or artificial intelligence is ruining our environment and causing global warming more and more each day. AI uses servers to run and gets hot because of how much people use AI in a day. AI needs water to cool down, like how we sweat when we get hot. AI uses lots of water in a day, and you might think I am overreacting. By 2027, AI would have already used 1.7 trillion gallons of water. That is a lot, and if we don't stop using AI, global warming could get worse. AI is a big part of global warming, and is making Antarctica grow plants! There are many news stations talking about it, and it is a serious problem.

To do a front flip you will need a trampoline and a grown up, first start by asking the grown up by picking you up and turning you in a full circle. Maybe do it for five minutes. Then try it on your own and you shoud get it. Then the grown up will pick you up half way, then you finish the flip and that's how you do a front flip.

On December 19th, 2025, SIS had a holiday party. Every class in SIS had a party with their own specialty. What I mean by specialty is the gift exchange. Some classes had a silly sock exchange, Secret Santa, and more. After the party everyone got early release. And then the looooooooooong break.

You should be trying your best in every class, because the STAAR test is going to be here in no time! Don't stress your teacher out, they are trying their hardest to get you ready. In class tell your teachers thank you, instead of being crazy. Your teachers want you to make a good grade on this test, so you need to make an effort to get a good grade. The STAAR test will be here soon!

The water that we drink might have been drunk by the dinosuars! This is because of the water cycle. The water cycle is made of 3 main parts: evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Evaporation is when water turns into water vapor. Condensation is when water vapor becomes a cloud. Precipitation is when it all comes down as rain, snow, sleet, and hail. This is why the water on Earth has been on Earth for so long.
Groundhog's day is on Feb 2nd, and is popular in North American traditions. It is when a groundhog comes out of its burrow. If he sees his shadow there will be six more weeks of winter. So if you like cold weather, your wish may be coming true.

Here are three reasons why you should not buy off of Temu. Reason number one, you're most likely to get a picture or something and get your money scammed. Reason number two, everything off of Temu is cheap and it's not true and it lies to you. Reason number 3, you don't actually know if you're going to get it. When was the last time you got something 100% off? Don't beleive, it in my opinion. BE WARE!
