Awesome Spring Break

For spring break I went to Arizona. We drove twelve hours straight until we reached Phoenix. Then we had to go to my grandpas house. We spent the night there. Then when we woke up we went some ancient history museum in Tucson. I saw the greek alphabet on a papyrus. It should have turned to dust according to the date. They have the real Iliad of Homer! Then we went to my grandmas. She lives a couple miles from Tombstone. We stayed there for a couple of days and then we went home.

My Spring Break By Daisy L.

I had so much fun over spring break. I shouldn’t just stand here and brag. I’ll tell you about it. 
Saturday ( day 1 ) I slept in and that felt good. I played with Jesse ( she’s my neighbor ) and we had loads of fun. We played outside and inside, in her backyard and my backyard.
Sunday ( day 2 ) I  went to church. After that I did do much. All I did was read my mother’s fabulous “kindle”.
Monday ( day 3 ) I played with my friend Alexa. My little sister Camilla was playing with her friend Autumn. Autumn got her foot in a drainage pipe that was left open while we were playing hide-and-seek. Later after that we were going to make Jesse (My “Cousin”) look like a boy/stalker and scare Camilla and Autumn and pretend she was stalking them.
Tuesday (Day 4) Our friend Katie was going to come over. Jesse was a tom boy. She doesn’t wear skirts, pink things, and make-up, but we were going to make her. We were going to trick Katie into thinking Jesse was a girly.
Wednesday (Day 5) I went over to my friend Malissa’ house. We had fun! We jumped on her trampoline. We had late lunch. We watched a movie. It was called “The  Prince and Me”.
Thursday ( Day 6) I played with Alexa. We had so much fun. We had our “Dr. Phil Time”. I am Alexa’s Dr. Phil. That WEEK we had emotional sessions.
Friday (Day 7 )Friday was the same as Thursday. Except the fact that it is the 3rd to last day of freedom from  school. I was over at Alexa’s house. We also played with Ida B (Idalis).
Saturday (Day 8) I  WAS BORED OUT OF MY MIND! I had absolutely NOTHING to do 
UNTIL.......
Ida B came over and we had so much fun!!!!!
Sunday (LAST DAY OF SPRING BREAK!)All I did was go to church and spend a little time with my family.
The End!!!

Spring Break

My Spring Break


What I did for spring break is just play outside with my cousin Katana. The only thing I did with Katana was play with my chalk. The pictures we did with the chalk was make flowers and homes with chalk. The other thing I did was riding bikes with Katana and she knows how to ride a two wheeler bike and she is only 4 years old too! 

Another thing I did was I went to 2 birthdays. The first birthday I went to was  Chloe’s birthday. Her birthday was at Veterans Memorial Park it was a small birthday party but fun.The other thing thing we did at Chloe’s birthday was we climbed up the long slide and played tag too.  The other birthday party was Adrian’s birthday party  it was fun too. The rock wall there at Adrian’s birthday party was fun and if you climb up all the way then you can fall into the foam pit too. And at the birthday party there are trampolines all over and it was fun to jump. Then my spring break ended. That is my spring break.

Edvard Munch

  Edvard Munch.             
Edvard Munch was born in December, 12th 1863 in a rustic farm house. He was an artist. One of his first paintings, was the world famous in the day, The Scream.  
Munch wrote of how the painting came to be: "I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly, the sky turned as red as blood. I stopped and leaned against the fence, feeling unspeakably tired. Tongues of fire and blood stretched over the bluish black fjord. My friends went on walking, while I lagged behind, shivering with fear. Then I heard the enormous, infinite scream of nature.
Another painting he made was the sick child. It is a portrait of his older and favorite sister Sophie (Johanne Sophie b. 1862) who died of tuberculosis in 1877.
I think he is one of the best artists I know.   

Do not press!

So this is how it all started. Me, and Eli were walking to school.When we got to school it was exactly 8:00am o;clock we weren’t  we were late, but we weren’t we were the first ones there. Their were no teacher or students, there was absolutely no one well of course Me and Eli. So we went into our class room to check it out because maybe it was a surprise but it turns out it wasn’t.But one thing that was in there was mine and Eli’s computers on this game thats said do not press!!!But what do you think we did we pressed it.
We magically disappeared into, the unknown world and I didn’t make that up, there was a sign that said “welcome to the unknown world.”The unknown world was well unknown of course.There were things that i never knew existed and things and things that I thought never existed but there was things that I knew about.Well thats me.I don’t  know about Eli because he was jumping on jello.I turned  around and there was another button that said do not press and I said Eli come check this out,” he says “should we press it?” I answered “Well we already pressed one one and maybe it will change everything back to normal.”When we got to the new place every one was going to school thats seems normal but the, the weird thing was it was 8:00 pm o;clock!We went in the school to see if we recognized anyone.When we got in there it seemed as if we were in the future.That only ment well we didn’t know what that ment but maybe we could find out at the mall.For those of you who don’t know me and Eli’s parents work together and thats were me and Eli met.When we entered there were robots, some unicorns on hover crafts,and some big scary thing hmm lets just call it a giant.They were surrounding our parents and a button that said “Don’t press!”We defeated all of them we acutely Aaron we didn’t we just ran around and made them crash into each other.“I know” I answered so we got our parents free and pressed out button.So our lives go back to normal.
                                           THE END

Bald Eagle

The Bald Eagle.
The bald eagle is a bird of prey. That means that they eat meat, NOT HUMANS, just fish and small rodents. 
They are the national symbol of the USA, that means it represents the USA. The USA  chose this bird because it was a sacred  to the native american indians. 
They are found in large bodies of open water, That means it is a sea eagle. A sea eagle is an eagle that hangs around water to get living fish. 
The bald eagle is also the seal of the president of the USA. The Seal of the President represents the President. The White House agency put the seal of the president on his podium when he speaks.
Bald eagles nests are about 2 kilometers long and 4ft wide.  No wonder baby eagles are so big!!!!
Bald eagles are my favorite birds, I hope you like them too!!!!

A Long Trip For Gold

A Long Trip For Gold
One time I was watching the news and the news reporter said “ People in Anaheim California have found gold.” So then I called my mom and said “Mom you`re taking me and my family to California!Right now” After that we started driving and my sister started being annoying and saying “ I`m going to California!” We had to stop at a gas station for water.But when we got back in the car it was frustrating because you had to sit in a circular way so it took even longer because my brother had to stretch before he got into our limo.When we were driving my nephew kept tapping on the window and saying “ Glistening water!” While we were looking out the window you could see prospectors looking for valuable things.Then the car started going really slow I told the driver “ Whats wrong? “ He said “ I don`t know let me check.“ I was disappointed because we had to stop.Then the driver said “ You might want to see this!” So I stepped out of the limo and saw that we had found a pot of gold.

DO NOT PRESS!!!

I saw a button on my game that said do not press but I decided to press it then...my t.v turned off.Then a big flash happened and the next thing you know a giant hand appeared, reached out and pulled me right into the game.
The only way i could get out is by passing all the levels.Levels 1,2, and 3 were the easiest levels.Then level 4 I had to fight a giant monster.The hands on the monster looked like the hands that pulled me into the game.I had no idea of how i was going to defeat him.Then I remembered a cheat but i didn't have a controller so i just yelled it out and poof he was gone.
Level 9 was also a hard level it was an alien level.You had to run away from a whole army of aliens some were running after you some were in their ufos.Then i found a car and drove away.Just then a alien cop pulled me over.I thought in my head alien cops why did i press that button.He asked me “where is your alien card?” I told him “i don’t have one all i have is a 1 dollar bill.” Then he said “green” he wanted my money so i gave it to him and zoomed off.
After I passed the game I went right back to level 1.What is going on I asked my self?Then I saw two buttons a red one and a green one.But the red one said PLEASE PRESS and the green on said DO NOT PRESS!Then I saw there were stickers on the buttons so I pulled them off.And the red said DO NOT PRESS and the green said PLEASE PRESS.Then the red one started talking to me.He said “dang you found out my trick.” Then he kept on talking so i closed my eyes and pressed the green button.I opened my eyes and i was at my house I went into my room and saw a book that said DO NOT READ...     By e

Warning do not press

I pressed the warning do not press button.The floor started to shake.Then the speakers said self destruct.There was no way out.Then the walls fell and there was a camera behind the wall.It was just a trick that people wanted to post how someone would react to pressing the warning do not press button on the internet.

I pressed a button that said “Warning Do Not Press!” I pressed it anyway. First the world was full of trash. After I cleaned  all the trash up there was an earthquake. Then there was a tsunami after the earthquake. Everything was back to normal. (P.S she had a tail and whiskers.)    By:J.P.

The Great Blue Heron

The Great Blue Heron’s scientific name is Ardea Herodias. They are seen in lakes, rivers, and marshes. We see them the most  here in Utah. They eat fish, amphibians and insects. Nests are built in trees near the water in March and April. The males gather all the materials and the females build it. After the nests are built they get reused over and over. They can be 3.5 feet in diameter. Usually there is 4 eggs in a nest but the most is 7. Both parents sit on the eggs for 25 to 29 days. Young can fly in 2 to 3 months.

My Cause & Effect Story! By Lauri D.

OH NO, NOT AGAIN!!!! Why did this have to happen to me.  The last time I did something that said not to I got my DNA switched and almost didn’t get it back!!!! How stupid of me to press a button the specifically said not to. Turns out I didn’t do much harm. All it did was blow up a dumb waterbottle that said “Hi, I’m Bob.” It was quite funny. It said it in a really high voice higher than Alvin the chipmunk’s voice. Anyway, I  don’t get why the stinkin’ button said “WARNING, DO NOT PRESS!!” anyway. Oh well! 

DO NOT PRESS

I saw a button that said DO NOT PRESS but I pressed it any ways then ice cream fell from the sky in my ear and in my DNA and my head turned to ice cream my eyes were chocolate chips my nose is a cherry my mouth is sprinkles and my hair was whip cream with fudge. I  though it was cool so I was going to my friend’s  so I went outside on a hot summer day and and I forgot my dogs out and he loves ice cream and when I out side my dog ate my head. The is why you never press a button that says..... 
DO NOT PRESS

TIMBER WOLVES

    Timber wolves are grown into a family of 4-11, their height are between 4 ft(When adult) or 2 ft ( when a baby).
A baby timber wolf weighs about 1LB. when they are an baby, but when they are older and gross and wrinkly they weigh MORE  than 40LB.  A BABY TIMBER WOLF IS LEFT ALONE FROM IT'S MOTHER and after 12 days THEY FINALLY GET THEIR STRENGTH AND SKILLS!!!!
"LE LEAVETOURRE" "Wolves!!!!"

             LOVERBOY & HOPE

Do Not Press!!!!

  I was looking for a job.I got an interview. The manager was showing me around when He said “Do not press the button that says do not press!”But I thought he said do press.So I pressd it ,and all this nosie and lights started going of.Every one started going outside it turns out the button was a fire alarm,and i did not get the job.

Pine Marten

       The Pine Marten has a pointed face, and a bushy tail. There tail helps them keep there balance. Boy martens are larger than girl martens. They are as big as a house cat. Martens are between 19-27 inches long counting there tail, which is 5-9 inches long. They weigh about 1-3 pounds. Pine martens are brown with brighter underparts, and dark brown legs. They have small round ears and sharp teeth for eating meat.
The Pine Marten likes to live in the northern climates, such as Utah. They also live in Canada. They like to live in old over grown forests. They like to live there because there is plenty of dead trees to find food and to live in. These old overgrown forests make shade and it always stays dark and damp. This environment is perfect for small animals.
Pine Martens spend a lot of time searching for rodents on the ground. Martens would like to eat red-backed voles. They also eat mice, birds, flying squirrels, reptiles, and rabbits. Martens can eat honey, berries, worms, eggs, and conifer seeds, too. I guess Martens just eat what they see!
Martens are fast, strong, and balanced. They jump from tree to tree looking for flying squirrels. Martens have lots of energy. Martens also look on the ground, poking there heads into holes, logs, and between rocks. Sometimes they follow there prey, like a cat, or jump on them from above.
Martens have special ways of keeping warm in the winter. They stay under the snow which keeps the heat in there body, which keeps them warm and away from the cold. They look for hollow places in the logs and trees, to find mice and other small animals. They even have fur on the bottom of there feet! They are awake and energized all year long, even in the winter!
Martens do not live in groups. They like to live alone. When 2 adults meet each other they show there teeth and growl. They live in places between 5-15 square miles. When there is a lot of small animals they live in smaller places. But when stronger and fierce animals live where they live, they need a bigger place to live.
Martens give birth to there babies in March-April. They usually have 2-5 babies. The mother finds a hollow tree that once had animals living in it. The mother takes care of her babies for the first 6 weeks of there lives. 
Adult Martens start mating when they are 1-2 years old. They mate in the middle of summer time. The babies are born 8 months later. This 8 month thing is important because this allows the babies to be born in the spring. There is lots of food and warmth in the spring for these baby Martens.
Martens once were endangered animals. They were hunted for there warm and beautiful fur. There fur was popular in the 1700-1800. The hunting still goes on today but there are a couple of laws to protect Pine Martens.
Martens have some enemies not counting humans. But humans hurt Martens, not counting there fur. Humans cut down trees for paper and for cities. Martens live in these trees and this leaves Martens homeless. They not only hurt Martens but this scares away the Martens prey. They will have nothing to eat. Humans are definitely enemies for Martens.
