The Snow Day by JI

One cold winter day, a girl name Katie Parker woke up after her long night sleep. She looked outside because last night she heard on the weather station that there is going to be over 5 inches of snow! So Katie walked over to her big white window in her room. When she opened her long purple curtain she screamed on the top of her lungs.

“Be quiet Katie your going to wake up your little brother,” said Mrs. Parker. Katie had a baby brother named Brian. Brian was only two weeks old.

“Sorry,” said Katie. But you will never believe what’s outside,” said Katie.

“What’s outside,” said Mrs. Parker.

“Over five inches of white fluffy snow,” Katie said with excitement!

“Oh my!” said Mrs. Parker.

Katie ran down her long narrow brown stairs. When she got to her living room, she turned on the T.V. to News Twelve New Jersey. She did that because that’s the station that told you if your school is closed on snow days. Katie took a seat on her white sofa. Katie went to Pennsylvania Elementary. She was in third grade. It took the news lady to get to her school because it went in ABC order. Her school was all the way in the P section. In the mean time she made herself a nice hot glass of hot chocolate with two white fluffy marshmallows. Katie loved marshmallows. By the time Katie came back they were just on the letter P. When they said Pennsylvania Elementary she ran to get the phone to call her BFF Sarah Marks Mrs. Marks picked up the phone

“Hello Mrs. Marks,” Katie said.

“Hello,” said Mrs. Marks.

“Can I please talk to Sarah?” asked Katie?

“Sarah’s actually walking to your house,” said Mrs. Marks.

“Okay,” said Katie.

“Bye,” said Mrs. Marks.

“Bye,” said Katie.

Katie hung up the phone and ran up the stairs. Katie put her snow pants on with a red heavy sweater. That was her favorite sweater.

“Can Sarah and I go to Cemetery Hill?” asked Katie?

“Of course you guys could,” said Mrs. Parker.

“Okay bye mom,” said Katie.

“Bye honey,” said Mrs. Parker.

As soon as Katie went down stairs, she put her gloves, hat, and snow boots on. Next, the door bell rang. It was Srah. Katie ran to the door to unlock the door for Sarah.

“Hey Sarah,” said Katie.

“Hey Katie,” said Sarah.

“Want to go sledding?” asked Sarah.

“Yeah I already asked my mom, she said yes,” said Katie.

“So grab your sled and lets go!” Sarah said with excitement!

So when Sarh and Katie went outside, Katie opened her garage door, and didn’t see her sled. Katie and Sarah looked all over. They looked under Mrs. Parkers big gray van. It wasn’t there. They looked in Mrs. Parkers van. It was’t there. They even looked in Katies dad’s car. It still was no were to be found.

“What should we do?’ questioned Sarah?

“Wait I know were it is,” Katie said.

“Were,” asked Sarah?

“It’s in my shed,” said Katie.

Katie and Sarah got Katie’s sled, and headed to Cemetery Hill. As soon as Katie and Sarah got to Cemetery Hill, they went runnung up the tall hill. When they got on the top of the hill,they went rushing down. They did thet for about four to five minutes. Next, they buid a fort, made a snow man, and had a snowball fight. They had a GREAT time. When they were don they went to Starbucks and got a hot glass of hot chocolate. Of course Katie got two white fluffy marshmellows. Before Katie and Sarah went home Sarah said

“Katie, if we have another snow day I’ll meet you at Cemetery Hill again.

“Okay,” said Katie.

PREY or Predator by ss (bestactor24)

In the forest of Stokes, School of Conservation, a female eagle was perched on top of the highest branch of the tallest tree. She thought of the world and fellow animals her babies for she had none of her own. Just as every mom would do any animal would have full respect and be cared for. Every animal looked up to her and respected her besides the food she eats, the mice.

One day a forest ranger came along to find a helpless mouse laying on the ground squealing and seeing the bones on the stomach of the hallow belly. The forest ranger gasped and ran to the mouse in the horrifying site. Although the eagle flew to the mouse picked it up by the back and flew away. The eagle had a tempting urge to try to eat the mouse but already had a good meal so decided to stay off for a couple hours. In the deserted cave eagle put down the mouse. "What is your name little mouse", said eagle while offering a fish. The mouse looked at the slimy disgusting fish. He pushed away the fish and mumbled, "W-w-well I d-don't have a n-n-name. My m-mommy is missing. She went to a dumpster for an evening snack and to get me something. She always goes there. "Aww you must be scared and hungry. I'll take care of you", said eagle, "call me Mama Eagle. We'll find your mom and return you to your mom”. The mouse and Mama Eagle play together and had a good time.

Mama Eagle called the mouse “Titan” for the brave courage’s, spirit. Although Mama Eagle had a quick flash back of the lunch she gulped down with a squirmy tail sticking out of her mouth, a muse near the dumpster. She felt awful. Then again it was her food supply. Was it Titans mom?

Mama Eagle came home to a raving mouse with a group of rats and mice. All had a rope that had a hairy figure, Poison Ivy. Mama Eagle tried to fly away but all the rodents were surrounding her. Everybody threw the rope on her and strapped her to the ground. Titan left her there even all the rodents. Mama eagle broke the vine with a thundering snap in a second. She knew Titan found out some how. Trying to fly away Mama Eagle saw a spot of red not allowing her to fly as fast as she could so he went to the nearest shelter he could find and pecked at the window. Softly the eagle’s strength was being taken right from her. She slowly fell to the ground. A forest ranger happened to be walking and spotted the eagle. As the eagle woke up the red spot was gone but she was in a weird crate. When a human took out the eagle there was an audience of young people staring and blinding him with blight flashes. She wasn’t so interested though. A mouse was sitting in another weird crate. It was Titan. The look on his face was horrible. Until that day the eagle has always been eating her food instead of playing with it.

He Scores by AA

Alnaar Ailkailaisa was a soccer player (also known as a footballer in New Zealand) on three teams, The Uzbek National team, FC Liverpool and Bayern Munich. However, he had a problem. It was the UEFA Champions league final…
You guessed it, FC Liverpool vs. Bayern Munich. He didn’t know what side to choose, Liverpool or Munich. He was valuable to both teams, and was on both teams starting lineup. He then had an idea. I could play with the team that first concedes a goal. That way people will get the most out of their tickets and stay to the end of the match. Almost halfway in, Liverpool was leading
4-0. Then in the 42nd minute, Bastian Schweinsteiger stuck a high volley in the goal from 37 yards out raising the score to 4-1. Then Miroslav Klose dribbled around the keeper and shot on an open net, raising the score to 4-2. After that Luca Toni slotted it into the bottom near post corner, yet raising the score to 4-3 Liverpool. Then, when the fans thought that the game was over, Bayern Munich was awarded with a penalty shot in the 90th minute. Alnaar was to take it. … “HE SCORES!!! Bayern Munich has tied the score to go into penalties. Gerrard had shot and Kahn had saved it so the whole champions league rested on the taker of this one penalty shot and you guessed it, young Alnaar Ailkailaisa. He shoots…




HE SCORES!!!!!!!!!!

If he can handle the pressure, then he can win it for his team!!!!!”

My Two Front Teeth By KD

When I was 9 years old I slept over my Nanny’s house with my cousins. I was almost August and I had a birthday party the next day at 3:00pm. We all wanted to go swimming in my Nanny’s pool. She has a small waterslide that is so much fun. Me and my cousin, Erin, would race to the slide to go first. The concrete around the pool would get slipperier every time we would race. So when we were racing we ran and Erin slipped and pushed me down on accident. I fell on the concrete and cracked my two adult front teeth. I looked like a vampire cause it looked like I had two fangs and blood was dripping down. So my mom called the dentist and he said to come right now. So we did. He put a glaze over the sharp part so it didn’t hurt. We had to go back tomorrow at 12 to get them fixed. on the way there I started to get worried that if this takes to long I will miss my friends birthday party. He fixed them in a hour and a half. Now I have bondings and no they are not fake they’re like regular teeth.

The Stormy Night By: E.K. (An0nym0usb0b)

It was a dark, stormy night. The wind was whipping, the thunder was roaring, and the rain poured down. At that moment, the power went off. I heard an eerily familiar scream in the distance. “It can’t be,” I thought aloud. It can’t be, but it was.
Another scream came, but it sounded like it was from upstairs. I was very nervous, for I was alone, until now. I went upstairs, my heart pounding. “Mom?” I mumbled, unable to say anymore. My fear came over me, and I went through the door, only to see what I most feared.
“Help me!” I could barely make out the words my mom said, through her taped mouth. Next to her was a tall man. He said in a deep rich voice, “Say one more word, I kill you both.”
Suddenly thunder boomed, shaking the house. We both lost balance and fell to opposite sides of the room. I hit the silent alarm, signaling the police and my dad’s phone. I was shaking of fear, so I didn’t notice the storm was now a light rain. In minutes, the cops were here, and the man was arrested for braking into my house and almost taking my mom hostage. I’d never live this down, I thought aloud. “I’ll be back,” the man said, while being driven away.

“Okay but you are fat and slow and you won’t be able to beat me.” sighed Cheetah. That got Bear mad and Bear said, “Give me tree days”
When Bear got home he realized he needed a trainer to help him. He went to the fastest animals in the world, but they all said no. His last hope to get a fast trainer was to ask Bunny. Bunny said yes, because he was afraid if he said no Bear would eat him, but Bear wasted so much time looking for trainers that it was already 12:00 PM. He went to sleep.

The next morning Bunny woke him up at 5:00. Bear couldn’t wake up, but did after Bunny sprayed water on him. Bear trained hard that day and got much faster.
