Dragons

            Dragons are mythological creatures which means they are made up. Dragons are mostly in mid evil fairy tales or stories. Some dragon defense is being able to breath fire.

            Dragons are in mid evil stories of fairy tales. IN some fairy tales the prince has to slay the dragon because the dragons guarding the castle and that’s where the princess is. Another story is maybe like people are trying to slay the dragon but it is some ones friend and finally the people find out... Something like that.

            Some dragons can breathe fire. Their scales are fire proof, they make nest out of stick and then the sticks are burnt do hot coals to keep the egg warm.

Why owls’ eyes are big.

         

Long ago the forest was filled with animals, as it is now.  There were no people so the animals roamed free.  The animals were all friends, but some were the best of friends.  Some like raven and crow, frog and turtle, and squirrel and chipmunk. They were all great friends. Though two of them stood out those to were Owl and Fox and so.

          One day Owl was taking a walk with Fox. They started to sing and dance.  “Food is here it’s so yummy there is so much to go around,” sang Owl (“An odd song,” Chipmunk and Squirrel always gabbed between one another.)    “I am hungry,” whispered Fox being sure not to worry his friend.  Fox also said, “I will be right back” and off he went.  No one knew what happened (that is except Fox), but it happened, he left Owl.

          Owl knew that fox would never leave her or so she assured herself.  So when the sun started to slant. The beautifully purplish yellow glow fell on her shiny white and black feathers.  She wasn’t worried it was so pretty it made her feel safe.  (I am going to let you in on a little secret Owl wasn’t that smart so she didn’t know that the sunset lead to dark and she was very scared of the dark).

          Owl realized that Fox had left her and that he was the only one who new the home, she panicked.  He called out, “Fox were are you I don’t know the way home!”

“Over here,” said a voice. Owl followed the voice to a clearing in the woods.  There behind two trees three feet apart was a pile of leaves.  Behind the pile there was fox.  He was the only one who knew why he was doing this. He was hungry and only Owl had the most food. She was out all the time in the day looking for food for fear of looking for it at night in the dark.

          Anyway Fox was very hungry and would love some of Owl’s food for he didn’t know how to hunt.  Fox decided to play a trick on Owl.  Fox tied a rope between the two trees and dug a hole.  He wanted to trap Owl so he could get her food.

“AHHHHH!!!!!!!” screamed Owl as she tripped over rope tied between the two trees and fell into a dark hole.  Fox was sorry, but he was hungry so he went away to eat Owl’s food.

          Owl grew accustom to the dark and began to like it.  As she did her eyes started to grow so she could see in the dark well.

          AND THAT’S WHY OWL’S EYES ARE BIG!

AFTER THE STORY:  Owl was never friends with another fox or any one really, but after two days of being in that hole she began to scream for help and along came frog and turtle.  They said, “We can’t help,” they said together, “but we know who can.” 

“Thank you very much,” said Owl itching her foot while looking up at the sky and realizing all this time she had forgotten about her wings and that she could fly.  “ I think I can get out myself, though,” and off she went soaring high.

          Sometimes if you find a clearing and are quiet you can hear Owl telling her children to watch out for foxes and their tricky ways. Maybe if you are super quiet you can hear Fox still eating all of Owl’s food.  That’s only if your quiet, though.

          THE END

"Harry Potter"

            Today I am going to talk about Harry Porter. Harry Potter is a series of 7 books by J.K Rolling. The Harry Potter books are about a boy who goes to a school for learning magic. At this school he goes on adventures with his friends, learns and does magic and a lot more. There are movies, YouTube videos, computer games, and Lego sets based off of Harry Potter. I hope that everyone reads this series.

            There are many people in Harry Potter, but there are three main characters. Harry Potter: He's full of himself and has a lot of luck. Hermione Granger: She's brave, loyal and good at magic, but always has her nose in a book. Ron Weasley: He's a brother out of six boys and one girl. Ron has a temper to match his red hair. Together they are great friends.

            My favorite Harry Potter book is Harry Potter and Sorcerer's Stone. This is the first book in the series. In this book Harry Potter meets new people, leans magic, and encounters danger. This is the book were Harry becomes a full wizard. It's my favorite book in the series because it starts off the series with good information.

            Since this book is about magic, it should have spells, right? Different spells do different things. For example, Alohamora unlocks things. Expelliarmus disarms someone in other words sends your opponent's wand flying away from them. Spells are one of the most important things in these books.

            I think Harry Potter is a great series. It's all you want in a book. Friendship, magic, fun, jokes, and adventure. There are 7 books in the series each one better than the first. These books are also very funny. I hope that everyone gets a chance to read these books.

            Do you not get allowance, but still want to make money? Well today I am going to tell you all about making money. One way to make money is to do yard works for people who can’t do it. Yard work is fun for some people. It’s a good exercise and it’s outside so you get fresh air too.

            One of my friends picks up acorns for two dollars. Another friend pulled weeds for a dollar. I like doing yard work and it is nice to know that I did something good for people

            The second thing you could do is a lemonade stand. I did a lemonade stand with a friend and we earned 14 dollars and 8 cents. I want to do a lemonade stand by myself and see how much I will make this time. You can make a lot of money just for making lemonade. I love lemonade and I think it is so much fun to do a lemonade stand.

            The third thing that you could do is pet sitting. If you love animals then this is a good job for you. I think it depends on the pet on the amount of money you get, but don’t ask for money right away because it will seem like you don’t care about the pet. It would be easier if you took the pet to your house instead of having to walk back and forth. I would like to learn more about money.

“Bears”

        My two favorite bears are black bears and Polar bears. Black bears are found in the wide range of northern Canada and Alaska to Mexico, but they’re in Portland too because they’re at the zoo. Polar bears live i the Artic, though they may live somewhere else.

        Black bears are here in Portland because they live in the zoo, but they really live in the range of northern Canada and Alaska to Mexico. Black bears cubs leave the den with their mother for 12 to 18 months after they’re born. Black bears are shy animals.

        Polar bears may live somewhere else, though mostly they live in the Arctic. Polar bears skin is black. Polar bears can smell a seal under 6 feet of snow.

“Authors”

            My favorite authors are Scott O’Dell and Beverly Cleary. Scot O’Dell writes back mostly about India. Beverly Cleary writes books about kids mostly.

            Indians are mostly what Scott O’Dell writes about. Scott O’Dell wrote: a novel of Sacguiga,  Island of the blue dolphins. Thunder rolling in the mountains, My name is not Angelica, Zia and Carlota. I plan to read all or Sean O’Dell’s books!

            Beverly Cleary writes mostly about kids. Beverly Cleary wrote: Romana (6 books). Hennery (6 or 7 books), Ralph (3 books), and much more. Beverly Cleary’s books are interesting, funny, detailed and I can relate to everything because she writes about kids and I’m a kid. Beverly Cleary lived on my block I live and know when she was a kid.

During to read we do anthology reading and study spelling. At the beginning of walk to read, we do anthology reading. We have spelling test on Wednesday and Fridays.

We do anthology reading at the beginning of walk to read. After we get out are anthology books, the teacher tells us what page to turn to. Mostly when we finish reading our story we have a write to read or another project the book has in it. Since I like anthology reading, I don’t want to stop. Sometimes it is hard to do anthology reading because we don’t have enough books.

On Wednesday and Fridays we have spelling test. Sometimes I forgot to study but I almost always get low percent wrong. When I miss a word I probably haven’t studied. If you get low percent on Wednesday you don’t have to take is on Fridays. Spelling test are fun because you don’t know if you got it right.

My favorite part of walk to read is when you actually get to read because reading is my favorite thing to do. Walk to read is fun because Miss Luria is a great teacher.

            Imagine a world where everyone is fighting. I have two dreams for the world. One, that there are no more wars. Two, that people would stop polluting the Earth, so global warming stops, but to do that we need to work together.

            There should not be any more wars. If there are no more wars then people would stop getting hurt. People lose their homes because of fighting. Most people lose their lives because of wars.

            People should stop polluting the Earth so global warming. Half of the animal world is dying because of polluting. Very soon we will not have rain and snow because the heat is trapped down here. Maybe we will not have any animals at all.

I hope these dreams come true.

“My first soccer game”

            “Go get your jersey and your other gear on for the game,” dad yells.

            I’m all ready doing that,” I lied. It was Sunday; I was just about to go to my first soccer game against another team. Just then mom walked into the house.

            “How’s my little soccer player?” She asked.

            Like I was going to answer that. So instead I said, “Oh, mom I didn’t hear you walk in.” The worlds just rushed out of my mouth before I could stop them.

             Then I muttered to my dad, “Of course  I heard her walk in she is always stomping around every place she goes.” He laughed silently but just had to laugh out loud. Mom heard but ignored us.

            About 20 minutes later. I was slumping out to the car. My heart was pounding like I was running in the Olympics. It was happening, my first soccer game! When we got to Fernhill (my teams home field) my coach was waiting for us and everybody else to arrive. Then we got in a group and made sure our cleats were tied. We didn’t have any hair things besides headbands and hair ties, we had our shin guards on, and our shorts. I love my teammates, my coach and referee, they really encourage me but I was still scared. We lined up and the whistle blew, before I knew it my teammates (including me) were running around scoring goals. I didn’t score any goals but it was still fun, and since it was fun we weren’t  thinking so we won the game. It was the first time fell down but my teammate tripped over me. Oh, and I didn’t say the name of the team. It’s Galaxy Girls. I scored two goals three games later. I was so happy and proud. If you play soccer you know how it feels.

“Salmon river”

          I love being at the Salmon river on a rainy but not day. The rain feels ice col among the fiery not sun. The river is on the edge of a dark green pine and reddish, green maple tree forest. The forest has a camp ground that I have camped in many times. The river is as loud as six garbage trucks and as cold as a winter frost on a morning of the last day of winter. I have gone across the river and felt the rocks on the other side, the feel as hot as if they were boiled on the hottest burner on the stove.

          All of the things I see are hikers on the hills and some birds with orangish blue feathers. The air smells sweet and salty, sometimes it smells like burnt rubber from the camp fire. When you cook on the fire it tastes better than when you cook food on any stove you might have at your house but sometimes it tastes like ashes and coal. At night it is like a rain cloud is hovering inside your tent pouring on you all night. Come join me at the Salmon river on a rainy but hot day.

“Pollution effects on animals”

            Do you know why marine lie is dying? It is caused by us. Water pollution is in Oregon because it is all around the world, in most ever lake and river. If nobody does something about it we may not have clean water or any sea animals again. Two-thirds of marine life is endangered because of these things: toxic waste, boating pollution (skipped) vehicles, (skipped) waste water and agriculture. There are many people working to help sea animals.

            Some sea animals like birds eat fish with undigested plastic parts in the fish’s body so the birds suffocate with all that plastic. Some birds and other animals are found open with plastic parts in them, most turtles think the plastic is food then they are most likely to choke on the plastic. The heads of a lot of fish can get stuck in soda cans or bottles. Baby turtles can have the same thing happen to them. Most pollution comes from motor boats and garbage boats.

            There are many ways to solve this problem. One way I know of is a beach clean up organization called Solve. The group in 2012 have picked up estimated over 60,483 pounds of trash. Common trash found is bottlecaps, ires and bags. The most common trash is bite sized palstic parts. I hope I can help clean the beach with the Solve group sometime.
