My Dream

2009-12-10T13:38:00.000-08:00

A soft, sweet animal.
Soft, golden fur.
Soft, blue eyes.
A soft, gentle lick.
What is this thing?!
A cute, yellow lab pup!!!!!!!!!

The Beach

2009-11-08T06:33:00.000-08:00

The waves rolling in and out,
Crashing at the shore,
Turning in to white foam.
The seagulls gliding in the sky.
The best part is the sunlight,
Flowing across me.

Garden

2009-11-08T06:29:00.000-08:00

The sun light flows across the plants,
The dew shines like diamonds.
The beautiful, green sprouts grow bigger, and greener everyday.
Soon the music of birds fills the garden,
At last.

The Library

2009-11-07T15:42:00.000-08:00

The library is the peacefullest place.
The only sound is fingers tapping out letters on keyboards,
Pages turning,
And quiet whispers.
The library, is the best place to be.

Reading

2009-11-07T15:40:00.000-08:00

My eyes fly across the page,
My heart starts to beat faster,
The moon is flowing light over my page,
I have to finish the book.

Writing

2009-11-07T15:33:00.000-08:00

My thoughts flow across the page,
Like a river flows.
As my page fills the story gets better,
The sound of pencils on paper fills the room,
I live to write.

October

2009-11-07T15:25:00.000-08:00

October leaves falling down,
October pumpkins all around.
The moon is shining in the night,
The moon is shining so, so bright.

Stars

2009-11-07T15:21:00.000-08:00

Stars shining in the night,
Stars shining so, so bright.
The biggest star is the sun,
Running in the stars is so much fun.
Stars shining in the night,
Stars shining so, so bright.

The Beach

2009-07-26T15:36:00.000-07:00

This summer I went to the beach with my friend Madeline for a week. We played in the ocean most of the days we were there. One of the days we went to the water park. I went down lots of water slides. One of them was called Head Rush .On that 0ne you slide down on a mat. Another one was called White Water Express. In that one you go down on a inter tube. The other one I went on is called The Dark Hole. You go down on a inter tube on that one to. We went on the Slow river lots of times. We went in the wave pool to. Another day we went to put-put. It was really fun. I wanted to stay longer but I wanted to go home to. I had a really fun time!

Lake Murray

2009-06-09T15:12:00.000-07:00

Almost every weekend my family goes to lake Murray. On Saturday I learned how to do a handstand under water. I like going up on the hill near the bathrooms because you can see all of the different colors of people and the water. I like to swim under water and collect cool rocks. when you first come in to the lake it makes you hungry because you smell and see people cooking food. Its great to stay for a long time so you can have a great time outside and you can play in the water. I always have a great time and a fun time!

My Day

2009-05-26T15:44:00.000-07:00

Today was really fun. We had exploration when we came in to the classroom. I helped Mr.O file some papers. Emily, Ikia, Sydney, Adam, and Sam also helped. The book fair opened today also.
I brought some money so I could buy one. There was alot of books! Some were picture books, some were chapter books, and some were nonfiction books. At recess I looked at a magazine with Ashli, Ikia, Sydney, Hunter, and Emily. When we we went in from recess we read Saving Shiloh. At 12:30 we went to art. We made little frogs. Everyone's was different. Some were alligators, some were birds and most were frogs. After art we let go 2 of our painted ladies (butterflies). Later on we did some graphs about our pulse. First we sat down and then we counted our pulse for 15 seconds. Then we jogged in place. We made bar graphs and made up our own graphs. After that we packed up and went to carpool. After I got a snack and did my chores I made small strings of beads for everyone in my family with their names on them. It was a fun School day and home day! Ican't wait until tomorrow and Friday because Friday is Splash Day!!!!!

My Weekend

2009-05-25T16:10:00.000-07:00

It has been a good weekend. On Saturday we just had fun at home. On Sunday we went to my uncle and aunt's house. They have 2 cute dogs named Dixie and Maverick. Dixie is a sort of orange color and Maverick is a brown and white color. Dixie is older then Maverick so she is quieter than Maverick. Maverick is a small, cute, playful puppy. He loves to play roughly. We had hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner. We had a great time there. Today we went to a park with a little creek. We played in the creek and found tadpoles, a beetle, and millipedes. It is called Guignard park. You should go there some time. it was a fun weekend.

Today at school we had map testing. It was sort of hard. After everyone was done with their test we went to recess. We got 45 minutes of recess. I played Hotel For Dogs. After a few minutes the third graders came out for their recess. We played O'ball with them. Later on that afternoon we read some Saving Shiloh. At about 2:50 we packed up and got ready to go home.

Writer's Notebook

2009-05-12T17:09:00.000-07:00

In my class we have notebooks that we write our stories in. Each month we have a certain topic that we have to write about like a family story,or a memoir.The story we have to write for April is a story that has characters that we can feel like we know the characters. They are a lot of fun to write because we get to make up different types of stories.
