Purple Pear’s Montessori story
My name is Purple Pear. I have been at Montessori School for six years. It is a great school.
My mom walked me to school on the first day. I was not crying even though I was a toddler. I was two and a half years old. Before I knew it I was a Napper. Nappers play and nap at school. I was there with S, my friend. We played with each other in the Hummingbird room where there are lots of games. Mrs. B was my teacher and she is very good. I am glad she teaches my sister now. I was turning five when I went to enrichment. I loved recess, especially playing on the monkey bars. Mrs. B’s class was so much fun. I didn’t know it was the last day of school! Somebody shouted, “Your mom is here!” I told my mom, “I want to stay longer.” We stayed for fifteen more minutes. My mom said, “Okay let’s leave.” I whined, “No! Longer!” She said firmly, “We have to leave.” So I said sadly, “Okay.” That’s how my enrichment year ended.
In kindergarten we were preparing for elementary. We studied while Nappers and Enrichments played little games. My favorite activity was cooking. I like cooking because it is interesting. My year in kindergarten is different that pre-k for two reasons. One, you have to work more. Two, you have to wear a uniform. You have to wear a certain uniform on a certain day. For example,on a fieldtrip day you have to wear a white shirt and navy blue pants.
I was so nervous on my first day of Grade One that I almost didn’t want to go. First days give me butterflies in my stomach. After a couple weeks I started liking it. My favorite activity is writing, because I want to post exciting stories on my blog. I like it when people compliment my blog. My least favorite is science. I don’t like it, because I don’t like writing reports on animals. I like the talent show in the afterschool program. Once I did a magic show with M. M went first. She had a volunteer choose a crayon from the box in front of her. R, the volunteer, chose yellow. M guessed yellow. She was correct. I went next. I had a deck of cards in my hands. R chose a card. She memorized it. It was six of clubs. I guessed correct. It was lots of fun.
I am turning nine. I officially became a third grader yesterday. I am looking forward to having an exciting year.

Book Review of The Witches by Roald Dahl
There are 3 main characters in this story. The boy is very brave. The grandmother is intelligent. And the grand high witch is evil.
The boy's mother and father die, so he lives with his grandmother who knows a lot about witches. They lived in a hotel called Hotel Magnificent. The grandmother brought his grandson two mices. He named them Mary and William. The boy brings them to the RSPCC room. He teaches them to walk tight rope. The RSPCC woman comes in with the manager. He asks if they would like a cup of tea. They say yes. Once the manager goes they start scratching under their hair. Then, the boy realizes they are all witches. One of them locks up the door with chains. They all take off their wigs and shoes and masks. The grand high witch talks about Formula 86 Delayed Action Mouse Maker. It turns children into mice. Then a witch smelled the boy. They grabbed him, they made him open his mouth, the shoved mouse-maker in his mouth. He turned into a mouse! He and Bruno who had also been turned into a mouse went to his grandmother for help. The grandmother got a sock and some yarn. She lowered him to the grand high witch's balcony. He walks slowly into the room. What will he do in her room? Will he get caught? Will he stay a mouse forever?
I like the scary bits. My favorite part is when the boy turns into a mouse and finds his grandma. This part is scary because I can imagine the boy being transformed into a mouse and that would be a strange thing to see.
I want to learn more about what happened to Bruno when he was a mouse. Bruno is interesting, because he eats a lot. I think Roald left it a mystery, because the story is focused on the boy and not Bruno.
This story made me feel scared. There were scary parts like when they smelled the boy behind the screen. I can imagine how horrified the boy was of what the witches could do to him.
It made me think about how scary the witches are in the story. "Don't give up even if you're a mouse." is what I learned from The Witches.
I would recommend this book to my friend J, because she likes Roald Dahl's Books. He makes an unrealistic story seem real. He's descriptive.

The Hamster Who Lost His Home
Once upon a time there was a hamster who lost his home. He woke up in the morning not knowing where he was. He thought, where am I? Why am I here? Why can't I smell breakfast? Of course he wasn't home. Instead he was on the side walk. He smelled grass, he felt the wet dew in the grass. Suddenly, mist filled the air. The mist was gray. He heard whispers. He could not see. He tried waving his hands like a fan, but that did not work. He walked forward. He was as sad as a fish who could not find water. If he was home he would be celebrating his birthday. He felt like crying but he knew that would not solve anything. He tried waving his hands again. This time the mist cleared. Suddenly the mist cleared like a speeding bullet. Then, out of nowhere his family and friends popped out. They shouted "Happy Birthday!" He stared in surprise. They all played and danced. Then, he asked, "Why are we here? I mean here out of nowhere." His grandfather answered "To give you a," he paused, "mini adventure."

Summer Fun in Hershey Park
Once we drove to Hershey Park. On my way to Hershey Park I saw a sign that said Cocoa Ave., some lights were covered with silver colored wrappers, brown chocolate and Hershey Kisses, and bushes saying : HERSHEY PARK. We saw a roller coaster, it went up, down, up, down, and around. We thought almost everyone would be scared of it, that would be except for teenagers. My dad was scared of it. It sounded screechy, loud, and people were screaming. The parking lot was humongous. We entered the amusement park. I saw a fountain, some stores for souvenirs, and a couple of rides.
The first ride we went on was the boats. C, my sister, liked that ride, because she wanted to go again. The boats were shaped as pencils. Each of the boats had a flag. My colored flag was green, my favorite color. The ride was smooth and boring, that is anther reason C liked it. My mom also liked it, because she likes boring rides. There were these statues: a green crocodile, a brown-green turtle, a purple dragon, and a purple polka-dotted egg.
Second, we went on the Skyview. I think it was called sky view, because you got perfect view of the park in the sky. Two passengers can go on one Skyview boat. My mom and I went on a Skyview boat, while my dad and sister went on another behind us. My boat was yellow. I do not know what color my sister’s was. My dad took pictures of my mom and me with his camera. My dad told me that C was saying “I love it.” the whole time. The Skyview went slowly.
My dad and I went on a mini, fast, fun roller coaster. My mom and sister sat on a bench and waited for us to come back. The roller coaster goes around two times per ride. I smelled sweat.
Fourth, I went on the Flying Trapeze with my dad next. I liked that ride, because we were on swings going around fast and got cool air. We would go up and down, too. I felt the fresh, cool air flow against my skin.
My mom and sister, my dad and I went on the Turnpike. There was a pedal on each car. My car was sky blue. It was named Turnpike, because I had to turn like every fifteen seconds. I also had to go under a bridge that a train goes over. I liked going fast. In fact, I went so fast that I almost bumped my mom and sister’s light green car. I was tall enough to reach the pedal, but C couldn’t.
I told my mom C and I were hot. I asked her if we could have some dippin’ dots. I pointed to a dippin’ dots stand. She went to my dad for twenty dollars because she did not bring her purse. My dad was on the phone so my mom made a sign that said “need money”. My dad gave her twenty dollars. The guy at the stand asked me what I wanted. I said that I wanted medium Rainbow Ice. My mom knows my sister always wants what I have. My sister got small Rainbow Ice, and my mom got small chocolate. My sister and I did not finish ours. My mom finished hers. I said, “Thank you for buying it, mom.”
My mom and I went on the FunSlide. It went slowly and smoothly. And as I said my mom likes boring rides. (This one was boring.) There were two pairs of three slides connected. Two were pink, two were aqua, and two were yellow.
My dad, my sister and I went in the wave pool. We went into the changing room and changed into our swimming suits. My sister’s were green with white polk-a-dots. Mine was blue with pink and red hearts. My dad’s was white with orange and blue stripe sat on top of his trunks. We jumped over the waves at the shallow end. It felt like I was in the ocean. The water was salt water. It was better than the ocean, because there were no sharks and fishes. It was clearer, smaller, and less scary.
I had a great time. We drove home. The ride home was boring. I was tired.

If I were in charge of the world
If I were in charge of the world,
I'd cancel vegetables,
Busy weekends,
All sickness,
And also my sister when she is crying.
If I were in charge of the world,
Gymnastics would be easier,
Mamma Lucia would be cheaper,
And also sleepovers would happen more often.
If I were in charge of the world,
You wouldn't be sad,
You wouldn't have 1970's fashions,
And also you wouldn't have bedtimes,
Or "I want water, Purple Pear" (My little sister's daily request)
You would not even have to drink milk.
