Help Captain Climate

WAYS TO HELP THE ENVIORMENT-Pick up trash-compost-less water use-walk, ride bike-support farmers-spread awarness about sustain abililaty-pets reduce stress-cats get rid of pests-solar power-ther mostats. WAYS TO NOT HELP THE ENVIORMENT-spread oil-spread smoke-spread trash.




some of  dr suess qoutes really inspire me including-

  • "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." – Emphasizes that individual action makes a difference.
  • "I speak for the trees. I speak for the trees as the trees have no tongues." – Teaches children to be advocates for nature.
  • "Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care. Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air." – Focuses on taking direct, positive action to fix environmental problems.
  • "A tree falls the way it leans. Be careful which way you lean." – A metaphor for making good choices in life.

Who is Santa?

Santa Claus is a jolly old man. On Christmas he flies on his sleigh with his reindeer. When he gets to his first house he'll plop down the chimney. He'll give you presents and fill stockings and if you made cookies he'll eat them up. He does this til he gets to every house. He can also be Saint Nick, Father Christmas, and he'll be called even more things.

Natasha

 Once upon a time, there was a girl named Natasha. She was 8 years old and she was very kind. She went to Cader Elementary School. Natasha loved Theater and she was picked previously for The Lion King. She played Simba and a while ago she got picked for Aladdin and she was the tiger of Jasmine. Natasha loved reading. One day Natasha got braces and it was very hard. It hurt a lot and she had a lot of rehearsals. One day at rehearsal she looked in the mirror and she gasped. Her wires were poking holes in her gums! That evening she cried when her mom put wax on her braces but it wasn't her mom's fault. Her parents called the dentist and they got an appointment and after that appointment she had the most grateful time because she had no sores in her gums and she lived happily ever after!

READING IS IMPORTANT

I think reading is important because through out your life you're gonna have to read.  Some people think some books are inappropriate for kids like Les Miserables. And they're forcing libraries to not let people go in and read. They are having a hard time and we want to make it better. I am a reading nerd! And I love reading! And I would be so sad if libraries, like school libraries and public libraries would have to close, because I have a great time walking through the aisles, picking out books, and getting lots of information from the books. It's unbelievable how fun reading is! I have 3 bookshelves which means I love them. There are very much different kinds of books which makes me happy! I love reading them all! I hope those people won't have that happen and I hope everyone chooses to read more, write more, and learn more from books.

Humble and Hatred--A Jane Austen Pastiche

 





The Williams family was very poor but kind. There was a mother and three daughters. The eldest daughter was getting close to marrying. They had enough money to stay in a cottage for a week. While they were there they invited some friends over for tea. The tea was magnificent. After that they all went to a Norwegian cafe and surprisingly ate croissants. There, Mary, the eldest daughter, met the love of her life, Jonas. Mary asked if they could hang out at his house and he said yes. So that evening Mary rode in her carriage to Jonas's house to have some tea. There, Mary met his sister Bella; she was mean and cruel. They fell in love but their parents did not approve so Mary and Jonas ran away and married. 

The end?

Vacation at the Lake




Frogs 


Sometimes the water is harsh but nature has more power. Deep beneath the roots lies fresh soil. Frogs hibernate in the winter by covering themselves with mud. In the spring the tadpoles wiggle out of their eggs. The frog lifecycle repeats and repeats. The end.

Waves 


One little wave swam across the lake. It was trying to open up its wave of friends. Then she crashed across a lily. Yes I will be your friend. Then she came across a person. I will be your friend. Now the wave was ready to go to the ball! 

Pebbles


See this small pebble. It's like an act of kindness. When you throw a pebble in the ripples get bigger. Like kindness spreading. I encourage you to be kind. Giving someone a smile, holding the door, hear some kind things. Kindness is never wasted. Say please and...



...thank you, holding the door, smiling at someone, playing with someone at recess. All kindness is never wasted.

*100 years later*

Madame Francis: Hello Dante, very nice day isn't it.
Dante: Oh very.
Narrator Two: Then an invitation came. 

*suspicious music*

Narrator 1: While those two talked something suspicious was going on. The town kids each got an invitation. It read: come to town hall at midnight. What awaits will be a fright but if you don't come beware of the bad luck you might have...you are warned.

Kid 1: We're not going to believe this are we?
Kid 2: No! 
Kid 3: But bad luck will come. 
Kid 1: Okay it is settled. We will go...

Narrator 1: The kids were so excited. School could not end soon enough. Soon it was midnight and they were at the town hall door. 

Kid #3: You do it.
Kid #1: You do it. 
Kid #2: Okay

*creeeeeek*

Ghoul: Welcome to town hall. 
Kids: wow! 
Ghoul: I'll have you cleaned up in no time, thank you. 

*silence*

Kids: Thank you so much but we must go home. 

THE END

P.S. They got eaten by werewolves.

Food Prodigy

 



Once a universe that had four worlds. The worlds were Fruit Land, Veggie Kingdom, Grain Town, and Protein Palace. But there were four more worlds: Dairy Kingdom, Coca Cola Kingdom, Meat Kingdom, and Candy Kingdom. The four rulers that were working together to destroy the fruit, veggie, and grains were the Queen of all meats and sausages, the Queen of Dairy, the Queen of all Drinks, Coca Cola, and The Queen of all Candies, Queen Cupcake. They wanted to destroy the lands. It was bad. So the Veggie Kingdom sent Ella, who liked cucumbers, to the rescue. The Fruit Kingdom sent Mary, who liked blueberries. The Protein Kingdom sent Lily, who liked black-eyed peas. Last but not least, Grain Town sent Diana, who liked rice. They tried to destroy monsters on the way, but some of them were too bad. They got powerups and other stuff on the way. Finally, they came to the TOWER OF DARK FOOD SOURCES. When they got there, right away a girl got shot by the icecream man who delivered icecream to the Kingdom of Candies. Luckily, it was just a freeze-ray. The person who got shot was Lily. Her friends carried Lily to a sunny deck. The ice melted right away. The friend told Lily, "Now that you are unfroze let's go get those food sources!" At dawn they came to the Thrown Room where all the food sources were sitting. "I demand you to leave!" said the donut queen. "I demand you to leave" said the Coca Cola Queen. "I demand you to leave!" said the sausage queen. "I demand you to leave!" said the Dairy Queen. But they all said "no!" Then, the battle started. But, the only way to get stronger was to have lots of people eat veggies, fruit, grains, and protein on the vegan side. On the not vegan side it was the same. So all the food sources went into the brains and hypnotized the children. 14 people ate meat, 5 people ate candy, 9 people drank Coca Cola, and 900 ate dairy. This was not good. The vegan side tried to win, but only 5 people ate grains, 1 person ate fruit, and 2 people ate veggies, and 3 people ate proteins. BUT THEN! It happened. Lily stood up. She sent a message to the brains of the knight who got the message. The message said "please help us eat grains, proteins, fruit, and veggies." Just then, the scoreboard went up. 500 people ate grains, 9000 people ate fruit, 100,000,000 ate veggies, and 100,999 ate protein. They were heading up! But! They all needed to get 100 katrillion points. So Lily gave out letters to every single girl and boy in their dreams. Just then all the fruit, veggies, grains, and proteins--they all had ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILLION KATRILION POINTS. So Lily, Ella, Diana, and Mary were able to defeat them with their powers and they were able to destroy them for all. The end. 


(we hope you try vegan foods someday! sincerely, Lily Lockwood)

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 there was barely anyone. There was only two people in the class. Mrs. Fruitcake was sad about that because there wasn't a whole class to do art projects. But then five more people came in! And they were all welcome. But then Mrs. Fruitcake noticed two boy worms named Abraham Lincoln and Abraham Lincoln II having hats on. Mrs. Fruitcake told them to take their hats off and they did. The end.
