Lily's Garden

 

Lily’s Garden

By Lily, age 5

I feel the fresh air turn into brightly warm sun when I am going out to garden with my family. I use all of the tools for the soil and dirt. I plant lots of good and healthy foods in my garden. When I do, I feel the soft thud of seeds hitting the dirt and the ground. It feels like I just woke up from being born. It’s like I never even saw this world. I start to rake the weeds out of my garden. I go into the house to do other stuff. Weeks pass and months pass. Soon the plants start shooting out and then they are done growing. When it’s time to pick there are lots of veggies and fruits to eat. We pick lots of yummy stuff like tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers to eat. It feels like it is my first time ever seeing this feeling. When I am finished, I go into the house for a long, long time. When I’m in there my favorite chore is making pickles with my dad. My mom makes salads for us to eat and smoothies with the fruit she buys at the store. We wait for a long time until the black earth begins to light and the birds start singing songs and I feel the worms already wriggling in the dirt. I really like this season so I never do forget it because I love this time. When I am done gardening I go into the house for a long, long time again and soon the best day came when I got to grow even more veggies in our garden. I really love that feeling, and with corn, potatoes, and beets we make borsch and potato pie and corn on the cob to eat at barbecues. When I feel the taste of hot pepper, the juicy tomato, and the rough outside of the beet skin on my fingers I feel like my life is going to change, and it will be way better when I get to garden all summer. It was the best life in all my lives.

The Acorn's School

Once upon time there was an acorn. She was 6 and she was going to her first kindergarten class. And when she went there which was a bus she took that was a tree, and it was underground so it was kind of hard to move. When the acorn got there she was a little bit scared because she didn't know anyone. Then the bell rang. It was time to go in. When she went in people were being mean to her because she was only 6 and people were, 9, 10, 7, and 8 and she had nowhere to go that wouldn't have bullyers. So she went on. Finally she went to her class, which was 987, and the class name was The Cats. When she got in, her teacher Mrs. Fruitcake greeted her and said "go to your seat and you can decorate your name tag." Once she got there people were staring at her. She was a little bit nervous. Then Mrs. Fruitcake said "this is our new classmate. Everyone say hello to Rosie." Rosie got a hello from Violet. Violet was a worm. Everybody was a worm, except for Rosie. But th

Halloween on a Tuesday

  Once upon a time, there was a girl named Rosie. She was going to school and her mom dropped off and this is what she did. First she did reading, which she was late for, so instead of doing reading she went straight to her classroom and did her morning work. And then her teacher played a clean-up song they used and everybody came to the carpet to do the first thing which was morning meeting. So their teacher called them into a circle and they all did greeting, sharing, and the activity. And then they did benchmark which was part of language and then they did blast and then they did handwriting which was fun because they got to do wet/dry/try on their ipads and when they were right it went DING! and when they were wrong WONK! and it made an X. Then they got to do lunch which was mostly their favorite part. Then they got to do recess and go outside because it was snowing and Rosie made a snowman. Then they went back inside to do specials which was gym and music. Then they got to do snac
