Week 21 – Garage Discovery

Language Arts 4/5

I dedicate this story to Dad, for the stories he tells.

Once there was a good and adventurous teen who was bored.He went to the garage of the old, deserted house of Redbeard the pirate. He found a secret door to a spooky room with a twisted stair. He ran forward to explore. All of a sudden the floor separated under his feet and he found himself in a dungeon with the bugs and the rats. He was a black belt in karate so he kicked out the barred window and jumped out. He ran under a table, through a window and toward a cliff with a ledge on the other side. He saw a rope by witch he could swing across the space. He began to think, was it safe? He ran forward and began to swing but it pulled down a staircase and he wondered, where should he go. The cliff or up the staircase ? He decided to go up the stairs. He got to the top of the staircase and found a room filled with gold, gold coins and bricks, gold rods and staffs even gold swords and spears ! When he finally finished stuffing his pockets with gold coins and grabbed a gold sword and shield, one question remained: how would he get back to the garage? He had fallen in! He ran back to the dungeon when all of a sudden he had an idea. He ran back to the staircase and used the sword to cut off the rope and ran back to the dungeon with it. Using the rope as a lasso he got it caught on the door knob. He climbed the rope and ran out the door to his own house.

The Bears’ Picnic

Father Bear says, “Mother Bear, put your apron away. We are going to go on a picnic today.”  So Papa Bear, Mama Bear and Little Bear go out to look for a picnic spot. The first spot was next to a train track and when they put down their things the smoke went on them so went to another spot. That spot was no good because there was too many people and when they left people kept hitting them with their food that they were throwing away. So they went across the river on a raft and they went to a spot that looked nice. Papa Bear said, “Lay out the picnic things, my dear!” But then all the garbage fell on them so they had to leave. The next spot was too high and a noisy jet flew over them. The next spot was on a cliff, and it started to rain and so Papa Bear went into a cave and Papa said, “It’s dry in here. And warm, too.” Mama Bear and Little Bear left the cave. Then lighting hit the cave and made it blast open. Mother Bear said, “It looks much much too warm for me!”  Papa Bear came running down and followed them and said, “I have the best picnic, you’ll see!” And he followed them all the way home, up the front steps, and into their house and said, “This is the kind of place I mean!”  And they had their picnic at home. The end.

Week 17 – Race Notes

Abigail, Language Arts 1

One day, Abigail was so excited she went down and told Mommy, “Can we go to a race today?” 

Mommy said, “Yes!” 

Abigail said, “Mommy, can all the kids go?”

“Of course,” Mommy said.

Then, Abigail ran upstairs to tell Gabe and the others. Then they drove off to the race. The race was so exciting! It was exciting because it was a running race between Abigail and Gabe. As they ran, Gabe tripped over a stone and Abigail kept on running. Then Gabe got up and started running but before he started to run, Abigail already ran passed the finish line. Then Gabe was sad that Abigail won and he saw her holding the trophy and people surrounding her taking pictures and cheering. Then Abigail ran to Mommy, “Mommy! Mommy!” cried Abigail. “I have won the race!”

“Where’s Gabe?” asked Mom.

“I think he’s still running around the track to see if he can win too.”

The End.

Week 16 – Describing Day

Language Arts 2

Tanks are full of excitement. Some of them are almost invincible, like the Panzer. The Panzer is very loud, powerful, smells like gas and mud. It shoots big, scary shells a long way. When a shell is fired it sounds like an explosion. The Panzer is fast like a rabbit but strong as a bear. It is hard, cold, and rough. I wish I could drive a Panzer. But be careful if a Russian soldier runs up and throws a bomb in  the window!
