The New Dinosaur's Friend

One hot sunny day, in the middle of Pangea, a stegosaurus was about to have a baby. When she had the baby the mother stegosaurus named him Stego. One day, mother stegosaurus went out to get food. Stego was all alone, but he found a little T-Rex named TR and they became friends. When mother stegosaurus heard, she said:” you can’t be friends with TR”. Stego was mad. He asked,” Why can’t I be friends with him?” “Because he is going to eat every baby dinosaur, including you,” said she. But he ignored her and walked away. One day TR snuck into his house and tried to eat him but the T-Rex mom saw him and he got in trouble. She told him: “You can’t eat your friends” so he got grounded for a week and he could not leave the house. A week later he could leave the house. TR went to Stego and said he was sorry he tried to eat him. They are best friends now.

The First Giraffe in Africa

Once upon a time at a farm there was a goat. He was telling his mom everyday that he wanted a long neck and brown spots so he could be different than the other goats. He also wanted to live in a hot place.

So he left the farm and went to Asia, past the Middle East, to Egypt and found the Sahara Desert. Everyday he kept saying, “I wish I had a long neck”. Each day, his neck grew longer, and longer until reached the sky then the space. He was getting closer, and closer to the sun until his ears started burning. That is when his ears got the funny shape. His body burned a little bit and that is how he got the brown spots. The goat said,” I wish I had a smaller neck that wouldn’t reach the sun”. He kept getting a smaller neck everyday until he reached the trees. He stopped there to eat leaves and he wished, his neck stopped growing.

He was finally happy because he was the first giraffe in Africa with brown spots and a long neck.  

My Trip to the Aquarium

On Monday Feb 20, 2012 I went to the aquarium where I saw a lot of sea creatures. First I went to see a hammerhead shark. I also saw a scuba diver. When the hammerhead shark passed the scuba diver it didn’t eat him.  Maybe the shark was not hungry. Next I went to see the alligator. It was a very long one. Then I went to see the sea horses. There were a lot of tiny sea horses in there. Finally I went to see the lobsters. It looked like they were fighting but I am sure they were just playing. I had a wonderful time at the aquarium.

Trouble with Yu and Mi

On Sunday my family and I were watching a movie called Rush Hour 3. There was a funny scene between an American and two Chinese people whose names were Yu and Mi.

“May I help you?”

“I’ll be asking the questions. Who are you?”

“Yu”

“No, not me, you”

“Yes, I am Yu”

“Just ask the questions. Who are you?”

“I have told you”.

“Are you deaf?”

“No, Yu is blind”.

“Hey, I’m not blind, you’re blind”

“That is just what just said”

“You just said what?”

“I did not say “what” I said “Yu”.

“That’s what I am asking you”

“And Yu is answering”

“Be quiet!”

“Now you!”

“Yes”

“Not you, him”

“What’s your name?”

“Mi”

“Yes you”

“I am Mi”

“He is Mi and I am Yu”

Jimmy Carter

Jimmy Carter was the 39^th president of the United States. He was born on Oct 1, 1924 in Plains, Georgia. Jimmy was a friendly boy who grew up on a farm and helped his dad grow peanuts and crops. When he grew up he was a submariner in the Navy. He liked being in the Navy, but he quit the job because his father died and somebody had to take care of the farm.

On July 7, 1946 he married a woman named Rosalynn Smith Carter. They had 4 children, I think he had three boys and one girl. On Jan 7, 1974 Carter became Georgia’s 76^th governor and then served as president from 1977, to 1981. While he was president he was interested in human rights: he allowed many women, blacks and Hispanics to have governmental jobs. He liked world peace: he asked the countries of Egypt and Israel to come to America and agree to stop fighting against each other. He wanted to protect nature:  he passed a law, the Alaska National Interest Lands, which means he wanted to protect animals.

Jimmy Carter is still alive and still wants to protect the world and make it a better place.

 

Making Apple Pie

On Sunday my family and I made apple pie. First I washed the apples. Then I helped my dad sliced the apples with a mixer. When they were finished I helped my mom make the dough. We mixed flour, butter and water together but I rolled the dough. My mom put cinnamon and sugar on the apples. We put the dough in a baking tray, then apples and on top more dough. Finally we put it in the oven. The apple pie was delicious. I hope I make apple pie again.

Bowling Story

When I was 5 years old I began to play bowling. I didn’t know how to play at first. I only got 1 point each time. Before Christmas Saint Nicholas gave me a bowling set. It helped me to get better and better. I practiced every night with my dad. Then I went to a bowling alley and this time I got strikes and spares. I was getting better at bowling. When I was 6 years old I got three strikes in a row! It was amazing. Today I went bowling again and this time I got 7 strikes and 2 spares! I got 184 points in one game! Can you believe it? 184 points in one game! That is awesome! I hope I will get more strikes and spares next time I play.

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve my mom and I made cookies for Santa Claus. We made gingerbread cookies and cookies in a shape of a Christmas tree. Then we put on the decorations around the house and on the Christmas tree. We were having a great time. When it was nighttime I had three important jobs to do. My dad helped me to put the star on top of the Christmas tree, get the reindeer food out in the front yard and put the cookies and a glass of milk out for Santa. On Christmas morning I went downstairs and looked at my presents. I loved the globe Santa gave me. I had a wonderful time.

About T-Rex

The first dinosaurs lived in the Triassic time. There was only one continent named Pangea. There was only one ocean named Panthalassa. Then in the Jurassic time the world began to split apart. In the Jurassic time there were 3 continents: North America, Europe + Asia and South America + Africa + Antarctica + Australia. In the Jurassic the most famous dinosaur was the T-Rex. The T-Rex was a meat eater. He was a predator who was hunting and a scavenger who eats dead animals. The T-Rex was found in the U.S.A, Hell Creek, Montana. One day there was an asteroid that hit the earth and all the dinosaurs died.

Santa Claus is coming to town

Once upon a time there lived 2 elves. One was named Hoppy and the other one was Dopey. They were going to Santa Claus. He checked his list twice and he was ready to go. But he forgot Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. “Rudolph” Santa cried. “Where are you”? “There he is” said Santa. He finally found him. He was ready to go now. “Lets go” said Santa. He dashed away with all his reindeers. He delivered all the presents in one night. It was Christmas morning. All the children went downstairs and opened their presents. They were so happy to see their presents. Ho! Ho! Ho!
