Karla

    So this is how I became a pencil. So I was born in the big forest when suddenly I heard a loud noise. I noticed that I was getting chopped down by someone who had an axe “chomp” “chomp”. He chopped me down, I fell on the ground and I was scared and also saying “wee” “boom” I went. “Let’s go” yelled the man. I was taken by a big truck.
    Then I was at this place called the pencil factory. I was in the factory. They pushed me in this thing and I was turned into a smooth bright yellow pencil. Before I knew it I was in a box all squash and there was no space for me. I was put in a box got send to dollar tree. I got bought by this girl named Karla and her friend Katelyn. I got in a thing and I was sharpened by them.
    At first I was scared. I was out of the sharpener and I had a point, they were going to draw and they grabbed me and started to draw with me It was very fun. Then they name me pencil and my owner was Karla.
    We left to the house of Karla and she drew a little more. Then she went to sleep. It was night now see you. Then I went to sleep “zzz”. It was a day and it was time to go to school. I got to go with Karla, so she went in and started to sharpen other pencils and I was on the table next to her and another pencil.
    At first I was shy, and then I said “hi” and she said “hi” back and “ring” went the bell and school started, then when all the kids had done everything on the board, school was over. So now you know how I became a pencil.

    Someday I wish I could draw. I live in Mexico. One day I was looking at the sun. I heard a noise like a dinosaur. Then suddenly a tree crashed me. I got hurt, then the men said “Este esta bien” I said “ay ay ay ay”. Then the next thing happened I was in a pencil factory.    
    They took me to dollar tree. Then Ms. L bought me at a Mexican store. Then she took me to her classroom. The first day I thought. Then a kid came, His name was Kenny, but his nickname was Sincara. I like calling him that. That’s a good name. He was the first one to use me.
    One day something horrible happened someone from the sun school got me out Sincara’s desk, the kid painted me!. The next morning Sincara found me. He said “Ay caramba que paso”. He told Ms. L if he can go to the bathroom, “Yes” she said, I was thinking what a nice teacher she is. Sincara took me with him then he washed me.
    So I’m still two years old, and I’m now his hand. This is the end of my story of how I became a pencil.

“Autobiography of a pencil”
By: Parker

    I was born in Alaska, on a leafy green fire tree. My brother never really played with me or even noticed me. One foggy day some loggers cut me down and sent me off to a factory.
    The factory workers turned me into a pencil, and put me in a pack of 12 pencils. “How many pencils can they fit in a pack? “ I asked. The pack of pencils I was in was put into store named Costco.
    One great day a 4th grade teacher bought me and took me into her classroom. “I’m so excited to be used.” I said. She tried to sharpen me but just as it was my turn to be sharpened, the kids came into the room. I was saved. Later a kid tried to sharpen me and it tickled. He didn’t hurt me and the kid that sharpened me was Parker Guralnick.  He used me and at reading groups someone stole me. Next, he threw me on the ground, and ripped off my eraser on me.
    Parker found me, and fit an eraser on me. “It fits” I said. Finally a kid sharpened me until I was just a stub. The teacher caught the student using me as a stub. And threw me away. And that was the end of my life as a pencil.

Reese

    “Vlooom!”, Snap boom crash. Ok guys let’s go vlooom!. Well no more time being a tree for me. Shred, oh, oh, oh other tiny me, hi twin me! Hello! I was tossed into a basket and taken to a very colorful room. A lady took me to something that looked very scary. I yelled, “Aha”! She put me in. It tickled; I was being sharpened for the first time! Then I was given to a small boy. He threw me across the room. “Ouch”! I yelled.

   I fell under a desk and met a friend. “Hello my name is Frido.” I said. “My name is Slappy. “Nice to meet you” “How long have you been under here?

   “So to avoid big man from snapping me in half!”. big man? Yes he’s a child that breaks things even us. I’ve been hiding. “Boom… boom” Don’t move a bit ok.

    There you are, “Slappy help”! “No help me big man got me!” No, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no help!!! It was nice to know you.” You too crack! And they both had to break.

Ben

    Hi my name is Ben the pencil. I was born in a forest in Alaska. When they chopped me down and made me into a pencil I was shipped to an antique store. I was bought by a 350 pound 67 year old man who delivered pencil to schools.
   
I was brought to a 2nd grade class of 22 kids. The only problem I have is I don’t like people, why you might wonder? Because they chopped me down!
  
  Luckily one of the kids took me home with him. Five days later he went to a therapist and forgot to take me out of his pocket. So I’m learning how to control my anger.
  
  One day I fell out of his pocket and landed next to a 5,000,000,000,000 year old pencil. The pencil was not very nice. Plus he said the meanest thing I have ever heard for what a pencil can hear anyway. He said, “You are the dullest pencil in the world” when he said that I think I broke my led.
   
One day after 16 years next to that pencil a person came looking for firewood. He found me. So that is my sad but true ending of me

Many years ago I was a tree born in China but when I grew up I was two years old. It was horrible! The people cut me down. “Timber” said the men.

    “Ouch” I said, that hurts! Before you know I’m sent to the eraser making place. This is horrible I’m now!

    This is horrible “Ouch” I said. That hurts. I got tossed around the room. When I was in preschool at the end of the day the kinds left. I’m getting in the pack. “Ha lady why are you shoving me in the pack?.” “Said the pencil. “

Keziah

    I was born at a school called Rigler elementary in the dungeon. People keep breaking me I said ah! Stop it please, the teacher to stop before they get in trouble and you don’t want to see that. At the end of the day I miss so much I sighed with sadness. But I remember I would see them tomorrow!

    Then I remembered again today was the last day of school. I said to the other pencils We have a whole lot of days to go I repeated. I thought about when I was being bought how I thought how they were be me and then I don’t know I remembered no more been broken! We shouted Wahoo! Until, it got boring.

    I had an awesome summer! We played pranks all night and scared humans all day it was so fantastic. 

    My life as a pencil is so interesting except being sharpened its painful not awesome.

Brylynn

I was born in a factory before I know I was shipped off to Portland. Then I was on a shelf with more pencils, friends.   

    A teacher brought me. She threw me into the basket, “Oh help me” I said to myself. “Where am I”. I said parker what is this place? He screams these pencils can talk. He ran out of the classroom. Then somebody picked me up and the person took me to the sharpener. It got louder and louder. The sharpener tickled. Then someone dropped me in a secret hiding place and I lived happily ever after. 

Jacy

    I was born in Portland Oregon 2001. I was taken to the wood factory and made into a pencil. A guy brought me to Fred Meyers. I was bought by a guy named Mr. B. 

    He brought me to a school named Rigler. The first person to use me was Jacy. He drew a picture of me with a pencil in my hand. I thought I looked pretty good.

    He wrote a story with me, about his cute dog. He went home and I was all alone in the dark. It was very scary. The next day, I was used for math, science, writing, drawing and notes. 

    We wrote about going to the center of the earth. He said a lot about rubies, gold and diamonds. “I think he likes mining because he talks about it a lot”. I like Jacy because he is gentle with me and he doesn’t break me like kindergarteners would.

Dream of this. A classroom was filled with kids doing things. They were doing what the teacher asked. They were doing what they do everyday. We are going to figure out about     Ms. Luria’s class.

I’m going to talk about Ms. Luria’s class. In Ms. Luria’s class you will see computers, on the computers. We go on the blog, Khanacabing, and head sprout. You will see a nice rocking chair that is brown. You will see lots of desks. You will see 2 white boards and 3 chalk boards.

In our class we have jobs. Some of Ms. Luria’s jobs are fixing the library. I do the floor sometimes. I also do writing names on the boards for people doing good in the morning. More jobs are to pass snacks and clean tables. There are much more jobs.

We should change things in our class. We should change the desk. I thing we should clean inside our desks. The teacher should change the list. The teacher can change were we sit on  the carpet.

That’s it. That’s how I love my class that way.

Jump rope. My favorite thing in the school is jump rope. When I jump rope it makes me feel joyful.

One day, I was jump roping with my friends and suddenly I got so excited. I got so excited because I make it to 129 jumps. I could not believe I made it to 129. Ever, since I made it to 129 I’ve been trying to beat my own score. I never have beaten my own score, but I think I will beat my score.

Some tricks I do when I jump rope are a crisscross. A crisscross is when you just cross your legs together. I think the other trick is called a normal jump. A normal jump is when you just jump. Another trick is when you jump while the rope is still spinning. Those are a few tricks, but there are a lot more. I hope you jump rope and do some of the tricks.

Parker

Have you ever played soccer? Well I have, and I’m going to tell you all I know about it. First I will tell you what you need. You need a soccer ball, I goal post for each side, a big space for the field to be, and as many players as you can find.

Next, I will tell you the rules. If you touch the ball with you hands, it’s a penalty, and wherever you are the other team gets a free kick. If the ball goes in between the 2 posts it’s a point. You can touch the ball with any body part but your hands, but if your a goalie it doesn’t count if it touches your hands. If the ball goes out of the boundaries, then the team that didn’t kick it out throws the ball back in the field. Last, I will tell you what the different types of people there are, what are they’re names, and where they stand. The person who stands at the goal is called the goalie. He tries to stop the ball from going in between the goal post. The referee stands off of the field, and calls fouls and penalties. The 3 attacks stand in the middle of the field. The last position is defence. They stand maybe 4 feet from the goal, and help the goalie keep the ball out of the gaol.

Now you know what you need where the peoples stand, and the rules. I hope you know how to play soccer.

Karla

Art
I have just completed a drawing from my book ugly Doll. I am going to tell you about art. To do art you need somethings. You need paper and it can be any kind of paper-like white paper and writing paper.

Then you need to get color pencils, a regular pencil, crayola crayons (at least 260) and bright colorful markers or any kind of markers, practically. You can draw your family and friends, and pets like dogs, cats, bunny and fish. You can draw some schools and drawings of yourself or ugly dolls. You can just draw anything.

Now here are ideas for what you can draw for projects, like panda bears, you can make it about art, animals and about the history of Martin Luther King Jr. And this is what I know about Art.

Jacy

Total Miner

Have you ever played Total Miner? Well I have and it’s fun! Total Miner is a building survival game.

The first step is to collect wood and make a work bench. Next, you make pickaxes, and collect clay. Then, you make a clay house, if your lucky you can get a tree house.

You can mine coal, to make torches which will give you light. The other kind of light is lava, which gives you lots of light. The types of pickaxes are wood, iron, steel, diamond, ruby, and titanium. Titanium is the best, but very, very, very hard to get. Titanium can be mine in the fastest, and is the strongest.

The underworld is where you will find rubies, diamonds, titanium and uranium. Spiders chase you around and they jump really far. Me and Reese make a rope to the underworld. Sometimes Me and Reese fall in lava! When that happens we have to start over. Total miner is the best game in the whole world.
