Favorite Outdoor Activity

My favorite outdoor activity is playing in the pool with my brother and sister. We play Marco Polo, we have swim races, and we relax on our backs. My brother, sister, and I like to play Marco Polo. We spend hours laughing and playing. It is sort of frightening closing your eyes because you might hit a wall. I like when my sister is Marco (the person who tags with their eyes closed) because she goes very slowly, careful not to hit a wall. My brother just swings his arms around. Everytime we go to the pool we have underwater swimming races. My brother mostly cheats and walks to the finish line, but I always end up staying behind and helping my little sister go faster. When all of us play fair I usually win. I love the feeling of the cold water hitting my face when I’m swimming as fast as I can. My brother is never far behind me. To me, the best way to spend a hot afternoon is playing Marco Polo, having swim races, and relaxing with my brother and sister. By: Bella

Do I Want to Ride My First Roller Coaster?

Do I Want to Ride My First Roller Coaster? My family and I were on our way to Six Flags, Dallas.When we got there my dad asked”Do you want to ride your first roller coaster ever?”I clenched my jaw and mumbled “I’ll think about it.”I was thinking about it for 2 hours.My tongue swelled up and now my hands got REALLY sweaty. I had finally made my decision,I confronted my parents in a soft voice I whispered “ya, sure” with a small frown they couldn’t see.He stammered “WE HAVE TO GO RIGHT NOW!” He grabbed my hand and darted like Usain Bolt across the parking lot.He had gotten jumpy when he charged inside.I really wanted to recommened NyQuil for him, so he could fall asleep.When we went inside of the amusement park he told me “We have to go to the Texas Giant.”A minute later we were on the cart, sit down,pulled our lap bars down,and it yanked us up.As we climbed up the wooden roller coaster it came to a sudden stop “AHHHHHH!” We had some twists,turns, and some drops so it was over in about a minute.This was a wild adventure, and I’m glad I made this decision.If I could do it again I would do it in a heartbeat.

Ms. Mitchell

Out of all the teachers I’ve had so far, Ms.Mitchell is the most silliest, sweetest, and friendliest teacher. Ms.Mitchell was so silly because sometimes if she saw something funny, she couldn’t stop laughing. I remember one time she saw a funny video by two students, Chris and Ibrahim, she almost cried laughing. Ms.Mitchell was s0 sweet to everybody in her class. Say she was having a bad day, she would definitely not be upset or mean with any of her students. One amazingly sweet thing she did for us was every Friday around 2:30 PM she would throw a Just Dance party on the Active Board. She was the only teacher in the whole school who did that! I would often think, I’m lucky to be in her class! Ms.Mitchell is also always friendly to everyone she meets, even if they are not as nice to her. She smiles and greets people with respect and friendliness. That is why my parents liked her so much. She laughs all the time, and she is just a person everybody wants to be around. For example, on the first day she was new to this school. She didn’t know where she was, so she asked a 5th grader a question. The 5th grader wasn’t nice to her at all, but she certainly was not rude back. That is why Ms.Mitchell is so special to me. She is silly, sweet, and friendly. By: Bella

Justin and Jason's House

Do you have a place you love to go? A place you feel wanted? I do. I love going to Justin & Jason’s house because I love playing football outside. Justin taught me how to catch and they have a GREAT football. Also, they are so good,their team always wins! Another thing I love is the video games they have there. Most I don’t have. I like GTA,MINECRAFT, Midnight club, and many other games. Last, but definitely not least, the neighborhood is my favorite. J&J have the greatest neighborhood ever. There are lots of kids to play with and it is GIANT compared to my neighborhood. We walked all the way around once-and it took us about 30 minutes! I love to go outside and I wish I had a neighborhood like that because my neighborhood is small and only has so much space. There are many reasons why I love J&J’s house so if you live in the area, I strongly suggest to come by. -Travis

My Cousin's Lakehouse

My Cousin’s Lakehouse Do you have a special place to go? My favorite place to go in the whole world is my cousin’s lakehouse. I love the lake because whenever I want I can just go swim in it.I love it when I get to tube on the flat tube because I can jump the wake. Fishing is the best thing to do at the lake.I catch so many fish by dock.Last time me and my cousin each caught like 15 fish. I also love my cousin’s house because there is always good food like ribs,chicken,brisket, and sometimes Mexican food.I love my uncle's ribs because they have lots of meat and are really juicy.My mom makes a really good brisket when she works with my uncle because it is much juicier when he helps. Another reason I like my cousin’s house is because there is this awesome jetski. I love jumping waves because water splashes all over your face.I love going really fast. One time I went 65 mph!I also love the jetski is because we do donuts and jump are own wake.I love my cousin’s house because there is always something to do.That is why my cousin’s house is so fun. -Turner

The Ranch

Do you have a special place to go? Well I do, it is our ranch.There are so many things to do! The beauty of my ranch is almost like heaven.The hills and cliffs at my ranch are beautiful because they soar above everything around them.The best part of the hills and cliffs is the sunset,every night at dawn the sunset reflects off of them. Coming into hunting mode! Hunting at our ranch is fantastic.We have all different types of exotic animals such as Black Buck,Owdad,and Axis Deer.I have killed a few hogs and 2 deer.I love hunting because of the beautiful animals that I later shoot and eat. But definitely my favorite part of the ranch is the beautiful house.The house has 2 big balconies,a pool table,and a poker table.Man, you sure can have a lot of fun with that much room.But what makes me more happy is bringing people to our ranch. As you can see,my ranch has many things to do from playing pool to killing an animal. -Bennett

Should I Tell My Mom?

My mom and dad went to a meeting in a restaurant.They had to baby sit my cousin,but they coudn’t babysit.I was left alone with my uncle and cousin.I accidenly sat on a can of Cocacola “OMG I’m in big trouble” I shouted.It spilled all over the new couch.I tried everything but the stain was IMPOSIBLE to remove.I called my unle so he could help me .He could’t get the stain out no matter what he treid.We called a man that’s great with couches but he just said “get a new couch just like that one”.So went to the Couch Store but ther was no match I felt scared,but we found an exact match of our old couch.We bought the couch we sepent all our alowence on the couch.I hoped they didn’t notice that we had switched the couch,and in case they did I had a very good excuse, “It was all because you guys left me babysitting my baby cousin”.So I had dicited not to tell them,but I regret it because they found out about it 8-30-12.
