Thanksgiving

-
On Thanksgiving, my family is going back to Missouri. If you read my last story you know I go to Missouri a lot. When we get there I'm not for sure where we are going, but I know we will be seeing both sides of the family. On Thanksgiving day we are going to my mom's side of the family for a Thanksgiving dinner. I am excited about that because I will get to see my cousins and my great grandma. Also, they have a dinner there every year and everyone brings all different types of food that is so good. We will also be going to my dad's side of the family. I don't think my grandma is having a Thanksgiving dinner, but my great aunt might. My great aunt's name is Teresa, but we call her Sashie. (I don't know why) She hosts parties a lot for the family, and we usually go over there for Easter. I am also excited to see my cousins on my dad's side because the last few times we've been to Missouri we haven't been able to see them. We also might be going over to my great aunt Marsha's. I can't remember if we go over to her house for Christmas or Thanksgiving, but I'll just have to see. I have a really big family, so when we go to Missouri we visit a lot of people. Both of my parent's dads have at least seven siblings, so I have a lot of second cousins, and great aunts and uncles. I hope Thanksgiving will be fun for you and me. What are your plans for Thanksgiving?

    Sounds fun! Some of our family is coming to our house on Wednesday, and others are coming on Friday.

The Search

Here is my story that I wrote in language arts class. I decided to name it The Search. If you want to know what it's about, I wrote a little about that in my last post. (This might take a while for you to read because it's really long.) I've always wondered what my real mother is like. Does she have the same brown curly hair like me? I wonder if she's as short as I am. "Beep beep!" The car horn screams. "Jane! We're here!" Will says. I look out the window and see this huge white house with millions of windows. "Grab your things and I'll show you to your room," Will says. I go inside, up a bunch of stairs and into a pretty big room with a huge closet and an attached bathroom. It's hard to believe that I have all this to myself. I grab a box of shoes and bring it into the closet when I see something reflecting off the mirror on the back wall. I open it. Inside is a- "Jane! Come downstairs!" Laura yells. I get dow...

Band

You've probably heard that our school has a band where kids can play instruments, well today I am going to tell you a little about it and what I play. I have been in band since fifth grade and I really like it. I play in the percussion section. We play the drums, xylophones, and a bunch of tiny instruments. My favorite to play is the vibraphone. You may have seen it before, it is the big brownish colored one. It is also really long so you kind of have to walk and play it. Right now we are focusing on playing three songs for the Winter concert. We are playing three songs for the Winter concert. One song we are playing is Jingle Bell Rock. For that song, I am on the snare drums with Olivia. The part did not sound very good at all so Mr. Shumaker helped us change it so that it sounds better. Another song we are playing is The Tempest. It is supposed to be like a wild storm. At first, I was playing the xylophone, but I just switched to play bells so Annika could play the timpani. The...

Hi guys, today I am going to be writing off of a prompt Miss Anderson gave the class. Here it is: On our hot bus ride to school, we noticed the driver looking pale and drowsy. Before we knew it, he was fast asleep! Nobody knew what to do. Obviously, none of us can drive so we had to think of a different way. Karen said if we all work together and think of a plan we can try to wake him up or somehow drive the bus. The problem was he fell onto the gas pedal and the bus was going very fast. A few people tried to move him but he was too heavy! Then we came up with another idea, but we had to do it quicklly beause we were heading down a very steep hill. And at the bottom of the hill was the river! So I climbed up in the front seat and started pressing on the break. It squeeled loudly. It started slowing down and we stopped right in front of the river! We were all so relieved and we opened the door so we could get off. Everyone walked up to the front of the bus and we heard something. ...
