The Hunger Games

By: Emily

Some Ponderous Pandas created a Hunger Games blog. We made it because we all enjoyed the book and the movie. The Hunger Games is about 24 tributes who go into an arena to fight to the death. On our blog we have some jokes, haikus about the characters, meet the game makers, about the blog authors and various polls where you can vote for your favorite characters.

Dr. Lodge's Video Challenge

The Ponderous Pandas entered a video in the Dr. Lodge Video Challenge. They made it to the finals where everyone in the community, family, and friends voted for their video. We didn't win, but it felt like we did. We were famous superstars for about a week. If you didn't get a chance to watch the video you can see it now!
