Pumpkin Farm Field Trip

On Wednesday September 30, 2009 the elementary class went to Great Country Fram to learn about pumpkins, pick one pumpkin, bounce on a giant trampoline, and play in a playground.

We learned that the seeds were white and sprouted into flowers. Then, they would close up and start growing green. As they get bigger they turned orange. Now they are all big and fat. The class went on a hayride to the pumpkin patch. I picked a small pumpkin. It was the color of a basketball and the size and the shape of an avocado. Chloe’s pumpkin was clean and tiny. We all got back on the hay truck. Farmer Dan drove us back. We set our pumpkins near the fence and got a bottle of animal food. Our class fed the animals.

All of us ran to the trampoline. I did kartwheels and handstands. We bounced high and low. I got tired and decided to rest. Then half of the class (including me) walked to the playground. We played on the slide, the rope maze, and the yellow go-carts.

After that we watched a pig race. The show was called "America’s Got Pigs". At first, the famer told a girl on the left side to help their side cheer for Elvis. He told a guy on the right side to cheer for Elvis, too. Elvis is the name of a pig. We all cheered for Elvis. Then, I thought that she was welcoming one of the pigs in the pig race. I saw a big, fat, pink, hairy pig come out. The famer told famer Dan to kiss Elvis. We cheered, so finally he kissed Elvis. Next three little pigs came out. David Porcheleata, Hanna Montana, and Kevin Bacon were racing. David had black spots and was white. Kevin and Hannah were pink. They run half way, stopped, turned around, walked a bit, turned around again and ran to the end. That’s how the show ended.

We walked back to the car. Mrs. F drove Tam, Nana, Rena, and me back to school. I felt great. It was the best field trip ever! I hope I will have another field trip like this.

Thanksgiving Wishes

I wish I would get presents on Thanksgiving day.

I wish Thanksgiving was more like a party.

I wish that I would celebrate the party with all my best friends.

I wish for lots and lots of snow white mash potatoes.

I wish for no stinky stuffing.

I wish for frozen tiramisu instead of mushy pumpkin pie.

I wish to watch the whole iCarly series on TV.

I wish to celebrate Thanksgiving this way.

My trip to Jupitor

Last month I went to Jupiter to study it. I was in disguise just in case there were aliens that wanted to attack me. I had a protective mask (that had an eye and a mouth), skates, tan mittens, skirt pants, and a long sleeved shirt with a protective coat. I got out of the rocket ship and floated over to a real live alien floating on Jupiter. He was green with a blue antenna and his eye was square shaped like mine was on my mask. He was wearing the exact same thing as me. Of course he was not wearing a mask though.

He said in a friendly tone, “Elloh.” I thought he was speaking Spanish so I said “Hola.” He said, “Ym eman si Evad.” Then, I figured out he was speaking everything backwards. In English actually said, “My name is Dave.” Dave said, “Emoc no!” I followed him. He showed me to his house. I had discovered a Jupitor alien, and his house.

I am a Honey Bee

My mother, the queen of the colony said this in her usual high pitched voice:" You started in an egg, then became a lava. The lava turned into a pupa, and you came out. You are a worker bee, so when you were in an egg, you spent three days. In the lava, you spent six days, and in the pupa..."

I interrupted, "What does it matter if you are a worker bee or not?" She said "If you are a queen bee you would spend three days in the egg, five days in the lava, and nine days in pupa." She continued, "As I was saying you spend twelve days in a pupa."

I hatched a month ago. I was born on June 4th, 2006. Queen bee hatched thoursands of eggs during the summer. I was one of the bees that the queen hatched. Now, it is July. My mom is still hatching eggs. Today, she hatched nine hundred eggs.

I am going to collect nector. It helps flowers, because there is pollen on the flowers. You see, there are male and female flowers. Pollen sticks to my body and when I fly it goes to other flowers. The powder mixture helps flowers produce seeds to grow more flowers. Here I go "Gulp, gulp, Mmmmm..."

Did I tell you I am a honey bee? Well I am, and my name is Sherald.

Flying Carpet

My flying carpet can take me wherever I want to go. We would have fun wherever we are, even at school. Everyday I get to ride to school with him. He goes zooming by with me. One day, my carpet says "Hey, why don't we go to Disney land? I have the money." So we fly to Disney land and come back one semester later. Mrs. K shouts, "You better catch up by next week or you banned from this school!" The next couple of days I spend my time in my office and my carpet is teaching me. The next three days I catch up on math, science, and history. The next four days I catch up on language, geography, and French. Mrs. K is surprised at how much I know. I get back in school and never miss a minute of school again.
