Yesterday in Langauge Arts class we started reading the book called A Night Divided . The main character of this book is a young girl named Gerta. In the book, the crazy neighbor came over to Gerta's house. He informed her family about the rumor of a wall being built between East and West Berlin. Gerta's father decides to take their oldest child to West Berlin to search for a new house and jobs. While they're gone, the wall gets built. Trapping Gerta's family on different sides of the wall. With no easy way over. That seems to be the main problem and I'm guessing that's what the book will be about.

     Today my mom sent my sister and me to  the store two blocks away to get some groceries. She told us once we get there we need to get her exactly what she wants us to. We listened to her instructions carefully and headed off to the store.       When my sister and I got to the store, I looked at her in the eye  and said: "You get the first five groceries and I will get the last five." Then we both raced off to get my moms groceries. The first thing on my list was some pairs  of pears . Quickly, I grabbed two pears and ran off to get the next item on my list. When I finished getting all of the groceries, I then went to the front of the store to wait for my sister to finish. Luckily, she was already there and checked out.  After I checked out we hopped on our bikes and headed home.  On the way home, my sister said: "Look over there ! It's a bunch of little kids trying to sell lemonade at their  lemonade s...

Sometime soon I will be posting a story about Christmas. It will be called "The Day Santa Quit". I have been working on it for a while, and just to let you kow it will be pretty long. I don't know when I will be posting it, but it will be before Christmas, so be looking forward to reading it.

Today Miss Anderson told us to think of the best field trip ever and blog about why it would be so fun. Here is mine: I think the best field trip to go to would be France. I think it would be really fun to travel outside of the country for a field trip. It would be fun because not many people travel outside of their home country in their lifetime. It would also be fun to see a lot of sights there. For example, everyone knows about the Ifle Tower! Imagine how fun that would be to actually see it in real life! There are some other cool sights to see in France. Did you know there is a Disneyland in France? I don't know much about it, but if it's anything like the ones we have here in America then it should be fun. There is also a lot of beautiful buildings such as the Sacre-Coeur. It is a really big white building that looks like a castle. One last reason why I think Paris would be a fun field trip is that you get to travel on a plane to get there. I don't know about you,...

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...

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...

This is the final part to my story What Teachers ReallyDo. "Olivia picked up the glove and then we realized her fingerprints are on it now! How would we get a glove without getting our finger prints on it? "Well, There is still one part that doesn't have anyones fingerprints on it," I said. "The inside..." "Hopefully that works, lets go!" Claire said. So, we ran out of the office an dover to the teachers lounge. I put the glove on inside out and reached to open the door. "What are you doing?!" We heard someone yell. It scared us, so we ran in the girls bathroom. We carefully watched out the doorway and Mr. Burchfeild was upset with another teacher. She was holding a clipboard and trying to write things down as he talked. She was also very tall and thin. None of us recognized her, but we were reliefed he wasn't yelling at us. We couldn't really tell what they were talking about, but from what I heard they had a plan to remodel...
