Summer is the Princess of Friends

   Best friends are people who are always there for you. They are always there to make you laugh and always have your back. In the book Wonder, Summer would be a great friend. She is very cheerful,thoughtful,and funny, which are all traits that everyone wants from a friend.

    First of all, the author states that Summer is cheerful. Summer was cheerful even when August didn’t want to go to the Halloween parade. According to the text,she respected the fact that Auggie was felling a little under the weather.

     Next, Summer was very thoughtful  towards August during lunch. For instance, she felt bad for him at first, and, her table was to crowded so she decided to move to his table. She ended up becoming real friends with him. 

    Lastly, she is very funny. Summer was funny when she said cool beans all the time. She was funny even in serious situations. For example, when August won the Beecher Prep medal, she whispered “cool beans” to him which made me laugh a bit.

     Now that you’ve heard what I’v had to say, I hope that you understand why summer would be a good friend. She has everything everyone is looking for in a friend.

THANK YOU

Gone With the Shadow

“Im so excited!” screamed June as she ran into the airport. “Shhhhhhh said Mabel quietly “you  don’t  want to make a big scene!” “Phhhh ya i do. Ill be famous!” Alice rolled he eyes and went back to texting. Alice is 13 and is obsessed with her phone. She is very silent unless its with her friends Shayla and Taylor. June is a bit of a show off and Mabel is… well…random.

“Hello girls.” said the piolet as mabel bumped into him. “You may board the jet. Ill be inside in a second.I just need to talk to your parents.” After a long time,like what seemed to be an hour,the piolet came in and offered them some water or juice then started the plane. Alice, Mabel, and June were having a singing competition when the plan jolted a bit. The piolet said through the speakers, “we are running lo on fuel.i have to fly over the jungle if we want a chance of making it.” they were about half way through the large jungle when suddenly, the plane jolted a second time and it felt as if their stomachs jumped up to their necks to hide.

Next thing they know, they are in a plane crash in the middle of the jungle and didn’t know where the piolet was. They passed out. June started to climb the side of the plane like a monkey. “and what exactly are you going to do on the top of a plane” Asked Alice. “Im going to see if i can spot Mabel. “Mabel! Oh come on Mabel! Stop playing games!” Alice screamed as tears filled up her eyes.

Suddenly, a small shadowy creature crept out of the bushes as slow as a snail, then, made a dash as quick as a cheetah to the plane. It hopped inside and dissaperd. Alice and June followed the small creature into the plane and saw it in Mabels arms. Mabel was crying under the dashboard in the cockpit of the plane.

In there, they found the animal. it was a small wolf puppy! “What is a puppy doing in the Jungle?” Asked June. “I don’t know. but what I do know is that I will call her Georgie.!” said Mabel. They all went exploring with their new puppy georgie. Night was coming soon and they don’t know which direction the plane came in from. They decided to head west because Mabel randomly had a compass with her,of course.

June spotted a deer and said, “get it georgie. Get it!” but the dog wouldn’t budge. “Great, no dinner” said Alice. 8 days had passed and they found a village.June went exploring with Georgie and brought back some baby deer. “YES, FOOD!” screamed Alice. they made a fire and started cooking their meat. It was pitch black now and the only thing that was lighting up was their fire. They were so bored that they decided to play truth or dare for an hour then go to sleep.

The next day, in the morning, they heard footsteps in the bushes. “Who’s there!” yelled Mabel. A man in a swamp green shirt and black pants came out from behind the trees that were surrounding them. He slowly made his way to the three girls who were all huddled. they were afraid he was going to hurt them but he actually just randomly showed up. “What are you guys doing in the jungle?” I can take you home if you want.” “Yes!” the girls said at the same time. The man took them to the airport with Georgie, gave them some food, then sent them to their grandparents with the dog.

Wolves

Wolves are amazing, majestic animals. They know how to communicate, work as a pack and choose the leader. Wolves are really super fun animals to learn about!

First, it’s important to know why wolves howl. For example, if a wolf gets his paw stuck between two rocks and the pack moves on, he can howl for his pack to come back and rescue him. Wolves also use their howl to warn predators like buffalo. The howl can be heard a mile away so predators know there’s a pack nearby and not to go that direction. The leader of the pack uses his bark to communicate with the other wolves and give them roles to play.

Second, wolves travel in packs. Wolves travel in packs for hunting and finding land. An average wolf pack can travel a 12 mile radius in one day. They also need protection from stronger wolves. The hunters protect the pack as well as the leader, the alpha wolf.

Lastly, alpha wolves are the smartest ones in the pack. The alpha wolf defends the pack as does the protectors. The wolves set up a battle and whoever wins, becomes alpha wolf. The leader can’t just be any old wolf. They have to be a male,know how to fight and kill, find food, and find new land.

Wolves truly are amazing when it comes to communicating, working as a pack, and choosing the alpha.

A Letter From Mamma

Dear Lucy,

I miss you a lot.  I too sometimes cry and worry about you. I hope that your library will soon be very popular. I bet the people that read your books will always come back. I’m glad that you’re taking care of Butte’s grave and I am happy that you are very successful  with your books. 

 

 

I would like to have a library on the Sandwich Islands to remind me of you. I am having a great time here but all I need is you to make it better. Don’t worry about me. I’m fine here.

4th Grade Coat of Arms By: Madeline Coleman

      The reason I chose the unicorn on my coat of arms is because unicorns are full of pride so the unicorn represents the pride. I chose the two lions and the two birds because they are both classics. The birds over the sun resembles the love and peace. The two lions mean bravery and justice. When you join all of those things together they make magic. That  is why I chose those symbols.         THE   END!!!!!!!!

My school is having a wine and dine gala to raise money. I was wondering if you could donate 3 or 4 passes. It would be a great help to my school, OTA. I know that lots of people love the Zoo. All I know is that I love the Zoo and think that the idea is great!!!!!!!!!!! The Zoo is a great place to walk around with your family. By the way, the gala is on April 26th, 2014. It can also do great things for the school like, get us more great materials and kids can also learn about endangered  animals.

Billy Bones and the Dog

One day more like right now Billy Bones got a hamster and named it ham he though he should rename it. The first thing Billy thought of was A. Then he thought of letting it go. Well thats enough about the hamster. Then Billy went to the dog park and found a lost dog and named it punchy lunch. Billy Bones didn’t know what to do at that time except go to the bathroom. Punchy Lunch was a pomeranian. Billy Bones left the dog park and the dirty old public bathroom.

He went to the mall more like nordstroms to shop for a dress for Punchy. Billy got a woman size dress for his dog . Billy Bones went to the dressing rooms and put the dress on punchy. The dress was way to big but he thought I was PERFECT!!!!!!! then he got a size six high heels for him! Then he entered a talent show. Billy Bones won! Nothing. Every one was so happy for him mostly because he lost. The he got all mad because he didn’t have lunch.

Punchy ran away and went back to living a normal life though he has never lived a normal life.    THE END!
