 The Time I Went Snorkeling

One day I was in Mexico and we were about to go on a boat and on it we were going snorkeling. Then we got on the boat I could feel the boat stating to vibrate. Then we started to move.  I was really excited but at the same time I was nervous. When we were in the middle of the ocean I didn’t want to go snorkeling but I just did it anyway. I jumped in the water and heard a splash. When my family and me were in the water we followed the director where ever he went. We saw all different find of fish it was the best time of my life. When we got back on the boat I said to my self that was awesome.

Electrical Cat Called Sparky

One day there was a cat that got hit by lightening in a big lightening storm. Sparky was walking down the road and met another cat named Bluey.  Bluey asked “ why are you so electrical?” Sparky said “well here is what happened.  I  was walking in the rain and then a lightening storm started. I did not know I was not supposed to be out in the rain while there was lightening. All of the sudden I got hit by a big bolt of lightening. Now I can make my own electricity and make my own toast.”

             BOX CARDS
One sunny day I was wondering what I should do.  I was looking through the Long Lots phone book and I said to my babysitter “What about Sophia?  I haven’t had a play-date with her in a long time.”  Jo, my babysitter said “sure” so we called no one answered.  So we waited for someone to call me.  Sophia’s mom called back.  I went to Sophia’s house.  When we got there I said what should we do?  She said let’s do arts and crafts” I said ok.  So we made “Box Cards” It was really hard but we did it here’s   how:
1.        We got a paper (brown)
2.        We made lines like this:











3.        We traced over the pencil lines with black marker
4.       We cut the edges  and ends so it look like this:
5.       We decorated
6.       We made it in to a box  (here’s  a story) We kept on trying.  We had tie  it with string.  It was impossible!  Then I had to go!! Right then and there Sophia did hers.  I said “can you do it for me and bring it in on Tuesday?”  Sophia said yes.  So she did and I shared it with the class.  It was so much fun!!

Last Summer

Last summer I was so excited because I was going to Norway to see my grandpa and grandma.  The best part was that Luke was coming.  Usually he does not come.  Even if he is a boy and one year younger than me at least it’s a friend, well more like a cousin.  Wait am I still dreaming?  I think I might be. “OUCH,” I woke up. I was just hit by my baby sister Nina and we just arrived at the shore in Norway.  I got out of the car.  I was still a little dizzy after the trip.  But as I got out I started to feel better.  I saw the ocean from the little island where I was staying in my grandparent’s vacation house and I could see all the way to the little city about half a mile away.  As I came closer I heard the soft sound of the rustling water and the sound of the motor boat whooshing past the dock.  As I looked back at the road I came from, I saw the long hill that we had driven down.  And the more I looked around the more I realized that a lot was different.  The dock had a fresh painted layer of wood and the road had a lot more rocks than last year.  “Either this place got a lot of changes or my eyes are still sleepy” I pointed out.  Everybody laughed.  After everyone stopped laughing, we all un-packed the car.  I didn’t really want to do all that work on vacation so I asked my grandpa if he could take me to the house so I could see Luke and Kyler my cousins.  Luke was one year younger than me and Kyler was one year younger than Nina so that makes him two years old.  But I don’t care how old they are I just wanted to see them.

                 Smoothie Attack

Plop, Plop, Plop.  In went the strawberries.  My mom was making a smoothie.  “Ruby, do you want me to make you sorbet or do you not want it?” my mom called.  “I am not hungry right now.  You can make a smoothie.”  I answered.  So my mom put in the plunger and started the engine.  Suddenly the half-made smoothie was not in the blender.  It was on the ceiling and on the floor and on the counter and on my mom’s favorite shirt.  My mom was frantically trying to turn off the blender but the switch was stuck.  When she finally turned off the blender smoothie was everywhere.  Then I burst out laughing.  I just could not help it.  My mom looked shocked at the mess.  I took a paper towel and stated to wipe off the mess.  When my dad came home from work, he took one look at the kitchen and starting laughing.  What a mixed up afternoon I thought.

The Horrible Fall

Can we go in the tree house? I asked. I’m at my friend Miranda’s house and I really want to go in the tree house. I just asked her if we could. She said only if we where rain boots. So we went inside and got our rain boots on. Just before we went back outside we heard the door bell we went to go and answer it. It was for Miranda’s bigger sister Arantxa. When Arantxa opened the door I saw my bigger sister Logan and her other friend Mia. Then we went outside and went up to the tree house. Arantxa, Logan, and Mia came up to. We climbed up the ladder and opened the door. Mia came up the trap door. Miranda told Mia to tell everyone else not to go down the trap door only to go up it. But Mia forgot and didn’t tell anybody. I was on my way to go down the trap door. But I didn’t know that I couldn’t go down that way. I opened the trap door and put my first foot down, and then I slipped and CRASH! I fell on my back. I started to cough weekly I got the wind knocked out of me. My sister asked Miranda what happened (Miranda was down there to) She said Rachel fell. My sister asked exactly how far? She fell out of the trap door, Miranda said. What! My sister screamed. Then my sister rushed down to see me. She asked me if I was ok I couldn’t speak. Miranda’s mom and dad came rushing out to. They asked me if I was ok I still couldn’t say a word. For weeks I was in pain my mom took me to the doctor to get checked. The doctor said to get some acupuncture It will help the pain go away. It really hurt a lot. But I knew I had to get it if I wanted to get better.

Giant Pandas

 
A pandas habitat is in mountains and forests in china. The reason pandas are endangered is people cut down the bamboo that they eat so most of them starve because bamboo is not very filling. Pandas are also endangered because people hunt them.

50 feet

 “Whoa!” my hands chocked the rope. My fingers were white. A sudden shock ran up my spine. That made my foot twitch of the ships net. With that I got tangled in the net. “Whoa!!” My hands chocked the rope. Beside the fact that I’m going to fall I’m in Wilton in a forest, climbing ships net! “Push on you’re left hand!” The instructor said. I tried, but it did not work. Suddenly my hand slipped of in pain and the rope evened out. “Now the tight rope.” I mumbled. So I grabbed the tight rope and pulled myself up. I was glad to be out the death trap. Right as I put a toe on the barbwire my mouth dropped and all my words were a mumble or a stutter. “Do want to come down?” The instructor asked. I mumbled yes but my head shook no. I clenched my fist and grasped the rope. I felt like I was going to cry like a baby. I looked down the diapered and I felt like I was choking. Maybe I could fall off and be ok? I thought. I kept on walking. Before I knew it I was on the ground. I was biting my nails and shaking.

I lost a tooth

My mom and dad went to Mexico.  My grandparents were baby sitting me and sleeping over until they came back. The morning after my mom and dad left, my sister was running around with my ipod. I ran after her and finally she stopped. “Give it back!” I yelled. She said, “fine!” She threw it up in the air and I moved away.  I guess I didn’t move far away enough because the ipod hit me in the tooth and the ipod and tooth fell into my hands.  I screamed,
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” I ran to my grandpa and he said to go put it under my pillow. I ran up to my room and put it under my pillow. Later, it was time for us to go to sleep. When I fell asleep, I had the worst dream I ever had.  When I woke up I felt scared because the dream felt real.  I looked under my pillow and there was nothing there.  I was surprised because it was . I suddenly heard a noise and I walked to my brothers room to make sure he was ok. I came back in my room 2 minutes later and I looked under my pillow and money was there! “Yes!” I yelled as quietly as I could. I went to sleep happy………..

How I met Isabelle 

I was skipping with my head in the clouds and I wasn’t looking where I was going. Oof! I landed with a thud! A girl with short, light brown hair and almond shaped eyes was in front of me. “So what is your name?”
“My name is Isabelle!” she sputtered out.
“Hi, my name is Jemma!” I answered.
“Wanna be friends?” I asked. 
“Um, sure!” she said. 
We said our good byes and I skipped off happily. I had a new friend! The next day at recess I played monster high with Isabelle.  She was Claudine and I was Lagoona.  At lunch we sat and chatted.  And that is how one of my many friendships began.

It was a hot spring day and it was my first soccer practice of the year. I was so worried that I would not have any friends at all!!!!  When we got to soccer I ran to my team.
Then a certain girl  with   red hair  caught my eye, so I went up to her and said hi. But she did not hear me :[     so I walked away… before I knew It the coach blew his whistle and it was  time to play a game. Before I knew it was time for HER to do the kick off. Everyone was yelling pass but I saw her signal me so I got ready,1…..2…..3….GO!!!!!!! She passed the ball to me I shot and scored!  After the game she came over to me and gave me a high five and asked what my name was, I said it was Isabelle .  for a couple seconds she just stared. then she asked if I  had a knick name, ‘ Izzy or Iz!!!’ I HAD A GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS GIRL!!!!!   Then I asked her what her name was she said it was………   MYA!!!

1st grade winter break

It was 10 days of relaxing during winter break and that’s where I was right now. The first day of break was snow and I played in it for a while. The next day of winter break did not have much snow so I drank some hot chocolate and watched TV. A few days later there was a lot of snow and I invited some of my friends over for a snowball fight!!!! the next day of winter break was my last day of winter break and I just watched TV and drank hot chocolate.

The Pitch

I’m on the mound.  My hands were sweaty.  I was pitching and their best player was up.  They were down by three.  I pulled my arm back and I followed through and released the ball.  The first pitch was a strike! The bases were loaded and I’m nervous.  As I looked at the scoreboard I saw 2 outs and 1 strike.  The next pitch was a strike. Only one more strike.  I was under a lot of pressure.  The next pitch was a strike but he swung, and everybody looked up as the ball was heading over the fence. I was hoping that it would be caught. The outfielder jumped and caught it. We won 7-4!!!  I was relieved.

New House

When I went to my new house in Westport I was so not happy because I did not like this place. I did not know any one so I was so lonely.  I was so sad I was crying. I was the worst kid here. 

2 years later I was so happy.  I was one nice kid.  I was happy so then I was good.

Stitches

    It was a hot summer day and my older brother had just gotten a new tee-ball set. He was so excited and wanted to go use it right away. We both went outside in the front yard. He didn’t like the baseball bat because it was plastic so he went in the garage and took a metal one.
     When he came back he told me to move back. At first I said, “No.”  Then he yelled at me to move, so I did. We both thought that I had moved far enough back…but we thought wrong!  He swung the bat and it hit me right smack in the face under my right eye!
     I was hysterical crying and there was a lot of blood! My babysitter carried me inside we couldn’t find my mom! We ran upstairs as my brother was crying too because he felt bad. Finally, we found my mom She was in the shower and my dad was out getting a hair cut! My mom called my dad and said he had to meet us at the doctorr
     When we were at the doctor, the doctor said that we had to go to the hospital! “No!” my mom yelled I’m taking her to a plastic surgeon!
     “Ok, Ok!”  The doctor agreed with her. Probably because it was on my face and I was only three.  Turned out I had to get 10 stitches right under my right eye.

The Scrambler

This spring I went to a fair by the beach and rode on a ride called the scrambler! There are four poles that spin around the carts; the carts spin the opposite direction. The person sitting on the edge of the cart always gets smashed. There was a short line so I rode it 8 times. One guy stayed on the ride the whole time and yelled “whoooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooo” the entire time. I think he had a better time than I did!
