      Roses are blooming. Birds are chirping. It is spring time!!! Most people are happy. But I can say this. Some people are over upset. Adults are usually the ones waiting for spring. Some kids are too. Warm weather is normally what people like. Some like cold weather. It is your body temperature that decides whether you’re going to be cold or warm. That is all for today!

Today’s article is about the winter. It is very fun to play in the snow. Snow is very, very, cold. Some people don’t get bundled up which causes sicknesses. L I am not saying that snow causes sicknesses, though it does if you are not warm. So get warm and cozy to go and play in the snow!

The girl who didn't like school PART 2

So the last line of the last one was- "Hmmm.....," said Ananya. "How should I help you?" she asked Lexi.

She was thinking really hard because she thought school rocked. "I got it!' exclaimed Ananya, but then she forgot it. (Why did I even mention that?) Ananya was faterated (frustrated) because she couldn't think of how to help Lexi like school. Lexi didn't understand why Ananya was so angry. Lexi was jumproping ( jump-roping) while Ananya was thinking. "Help me!" yelled Ananya. "Why do you need help?" Lexi asked. "I am angry that i can't think of how to help you?" said Ananya. " Ok! I'll help!" exclaimed Lexi. "THINK!!!" screamed Ananya. They were both thinking very hard. Lexi didn't want to think, but she did it anyway because Ananya told her to think. (Ananya won't know if she doesn't think)

Let's spot, spots!!!

I was looking through my computer and I found this story. I don't know when I made it. It is pretty stupid, but I thought i would share it. Here it is!!

Once upon a time, there lived 2 kids.  Their names were Amy and Emily. They always play with their dog, spots.  Spots was a hero. He saves everyone!  He has saved Amy and Emily too.  Amy and Emily were in 3^rd grade.  Spots ALWAYS felt lonely when Emily, Amy and her parents went to school/work.

 One fine morning, everyone left the house, as usual. Spots was lying down. Suddenly he heard a loud and disturbing screech. The dog ran out the door. He went through a huge forest.  He leaped over rocks and ran through mud.  He saw a little girl cornered by a lion. Spots attacked the lion and grabbed the girl away. He had saved the girl. Spots and the girl became friends. The little girl’s name was Ally Metterson. They started playing with each other though Spots was confused because Ally said that Spots was her dog, but we all know that spots does not belong to her.

Amy and Emily were in school busy doing their work. They got on the bus and rode home. They happily skipped to their house, but when they got home they were scared. Their mom and dad were searching for Spots around the house.  They immediately started to help. 

Spots always went to the forest so they checked the forest.  Amy squeezed Emily’s hand.  They saw footsteps. Then they saw spots playing with Ally.  They were confused.  Emily ran out to Ally.  Emily was always shy, but when it came to Spots she wasn’t.

 “That’s my dog”, she yelled with a cherry red face.

 “No it isn’t!” roared Ally.  Spots just kept watching.

 “Give me my dog back” Emily said hugging Spots.

Amy was wise.  Even though she didn’t say anything, she was thinking.  Finally she said, “Fine, when is Spots birthday”?  Ally was out of words.  “Just take your dog”, she groaned.  Amy and Emily were so happy.  They told Spots never to do that again.

Spots never got lost and always stayed with Amy and Emily.  Everyone always told Amy and Emily what a great dog they had!!!

The girl who didn't like school PART 1

Hey!! Sorry I haven't posted in a while! Anyway, I found this story that I made in 1st grade! It doesn't make sense at many parts, but I thought I would share it. I didn't change it at all. When I type in parenthesis, it is my opinion on it now.

                                                   The Girl who didn't like School
One sunny day, on Sunday, Ananya and Lexi were playing outside together. They were going to school the next day. They are in first grade. Ananya has black hair. Lexi has brown hair. Lexi and Ananya are very nice. They always go to each other's houses on the weekends. Their school is called Goodnoe Elementary school. At recess, Ananya and Lexi played soccer because they loved soccer. (Since when did I like soccer! Or any sport!!!!) There was one little problem. Lexi doesn't like school! (who does???) "I can't believe you don't like school!" Ananya said. "I love school!!" (NERD ALERT!!!) "Hmmmmm......", said Ananya. "How should I help you?" she asked Lexi.

Sorry that is all I can post right now. I will post the rest later. I will post it in sections.

Sleepy Lizzy

CHAPTER 1

I, Elizabeth Wilson woke up at 8:00 due to the horrible screeching sound of my alarm clock. Nobody can sleep through it! Anyway, I quickly did my daily routine, said “bye” to my parents and rushed to my bus stop worried I would be late. I saw Taylor, my BFF who is in the same class as me, 5^th grade with Mrs. Williams. After about 5 minutes, the bus came and we got on. We went to the last seat on the bus and sat together. Since we are now in the last grade in the school, we can sit wherever we wish. We munched on some cookies I brought for us to share and some chips Taylor brought to share. We both never eat our breakfast so we eat treats on the bus. Then, we discussed homework.

 “I did math, reading and um spelling.” said Taylor with her mouth full. I panicked because I never knew I had to do spelling! Mrs. Williams is really strict! I will have to stand in front of the class and say “I will have to stay in for recess for being so irresponsible.” And I couldn’t do it now because I need to do it in my notebook (which I forgot at school) or it is not counted as homework.

“Lizzy! Are you okay?” Taylor asked. “FORGOT SPELLING!” “Dude I didn’t know you were that gullible!”Taylor yelled. I stared blankly. “I was kidding about spelling!!” I was irritated, but relived that there was no spelling homework. “Thanks Taylor the alligator!”

          I was having a good sleep in math class until Mrs. Williams came and bonked my head. I sat up rubbing my head.

          “HOMEWORK!” she said in a nasally voice. I quickly toke out my workbook and flipped to the page. “Good and meet me at recess. I will talk to you about sleeping during class” Before I could argue she went to the next row of kids to check homework. 2 girls had to go up in front of the class and say “I will have to stay in for recess for being so irresponsible.” So that meant I wasn’t the only person who had to stay in for recess.

CHAPTER 2

When recess arrived I was about go outside when Taylor nudged me. “WHAT!!” I shrieked.

“Take a chill pill, Liz! I just wanted to remind you that you have to stay in for recess!” I had completely forgotten about that. I tried to sneak out when I heard Mrs. Williams’s obnoxious voice.

          “Elizabeth Wilson, get your butt here this instant!” Instead of telling her to call me Liz or Lizzy not Elizabeth, I went to her desk and sat on a broken, wobbly chair across from her. After all the kids left the room, she gave the 2 girls papers to fill out. They had to write “I am sorry. I will never forget home work again” 50 times.

 Then, she looked at me. We sat silent saying nothing at all for about 5 minutes. She handed me an envelope and then said “Give this to your parents.” Then, she began lecturing me about sleeping during class. She told me to go back to my desk, put my head down and think about what I did. And I fell asleep again!!! I think Mrs. Williams knew this was going to happen because she had another envelope in her which she gave me after I woke up.

“Here is another envelope to give to your parents! Your parents have to sign both the envelopes. It’s lunch time so scram!” I ran to the lunch room, took my lunch box out of the crate, and threw my lunch box next to Taylor.

“What happened?” Taylor asked. I explained everything. “OH NO! Your mom will certainly overreact!” She wasn’t wrong. Last year, I got a 3+ on my math test and my mom wouldn’t talk to me for a month!

           After lunch we went back to the classroom. I ate as much candy as I could so that I wouldn’t fall asleep. Luckily I didn’t fall asleep for the rest of the day. Taylor and I waited for like 20 minutes before our bus got called. I was so deep in thoughts about what would happen that I almost got on the wrong bus! Taylor grabbed my hand and yanked it on the bus. “Don’t worry lizzy! It will be fine! And I will help you out as much as I can.” whispered Taylor. I knew she would help me, but I was still really worried.

CHAPTER 3

As soon as I got home I threw the letters on my parent’s laps. They took a look at the envelopes. My dad opened it and my mom grabbed it and started reading it. I sat next to them and read it as well. It said:

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wilson,

        I am very disappointed with your daughter’s behavior. She fell asleep during math class. I despise the fact that she discourages me to teach. One more time and Elizabeth will go straight to the principal office. You are lucky I am kind and I am letting her off the hook this time. But only this time. She should not go to sleep late at night. Here’s a short saying- Early to bed early to rise. Not only will sleeping early make her wake up early, but it will also keep her awake during class. Make sure she never falls asleep during class again. And tell Elizabeth that I am very disappointed in her. Please sign below if you agree that this will never happen again

                                                               Thanks,

                                                                        Clare Williams

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          My child will never do this mistake again.

Student name _______________ Teacher’s name________________

Mom’s signature____________________________________________

Dad’s signature______________________________________________

          And that was only the first letter. My mom’s face became red after reading the first letter. Her eyes widened. My dad sat calmly. My mom ripped open the second envelope. It said:

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wilson,

        It has happened again! I made this letter beforehand knowing this would happen. This is what happened. I sent Elizabeth back to her seat telling her to put her head on her desk and think about what she had done. And as soon as she put her head down on her desk, she was out like a light. This is the second time she has fallen asleep! This is an outrage! I am going to allow it one more time just because both incidents happened on the same day. I hope you understand how I feel. It is just trouble handling your daughter. And I am sure you know that if this happens one more time Elizabeth will be sent to the principal’s office. I am warning you, this is the last time.

                                                                Thank you,

                                                                        Clare Williams

“Lizzy, hand me my laptop.” My mom said still looking at the letter. I gave it to her and sat next to my mom to look at what she was doing. “Honey, make Lizzy some milk.” My mom said to my dad. I went over and sat on a chair. I slowly drank my milk down for about half an hour, tossed the cup in the sink and plopped next to my mom, who had closed her laptop. “I did something I am very proud about. I typed about Mrs. Williams all over the internet!!!”

         

CHAPTER 4

          “What the heck!” My dad and I yelled in unison. I couldn’t believe she had actually done that! Grabbed her laptop and checked her latest post on her blog. (I know all her usernames and passwords.) 140,238,080 views! It was increasing by the second! I checked her Facebook account. 888,888,888 views! All those 8’s made me really dizzy! I checked all of the websites I knew she would post on. I heard the doorbell ring. My dad I sat quietly.

          “Oh. I’ll get it!” my mom said with a sharp attitude. A bunch of camera men came in asking my mom questions. My mom loves attention so she happily started answering the people. My dad and I ran over and slammed the door.

          “Ryan, Lizzy! Of course now you get off the couch!” my mother complained.

          “Vanessa! You’re crazy! You’re ruining Liz’s life!” (FYI mom calls me Lizzy, dad calls me Liz and Taylor calls me both.)

          I skipped dinner at night and just went to sleep. In the morning, I got dressed and when I opened the front door, a bunch of camera men came pushing towards me. I shrieked and ran inside. I went crying to my dad telling him what happened. This happened for days and finally one day, on a weekend, my dad had an idea.

          “It’s your mom’s fault, honey.” My dad paused and then continued. “I have a plan. My dad whispered the plan in my ear. It was an amazing idea! I ran over to my computer and went to Microsoft word. I typed “Vanessa Wilson apologizes for everything she said.” I printed 200 sheets. Next, I deleted all the things that I could that my mom typed. Last, I called Taylor and told her to come near my window, collect all the sheets and stick them everywhere.

          Taylor came over and took the sheets. “Thank you so much” I said to Taylor.

          “Liz, remember when I told you I would do whatever I could to help you? I am just keeping up my promise. She ran away sticking the papers on trees. She came back and asked for another 200 to put on a table so people could take it and read it. I printed 200 more and gave it to her.

          The next day was Monday. I opened the door frightened that I might have wasted 400 sheets of paper for nothing. To my surprise no one was there. I was a normal girl again! I danced of to school. There was another surprise there. Mrs. Williams didn’t bother me at all! She even let me sleep through class. So now she is scared of me! Well, scared of my mom. I am now the happiest girl in the world. And to my surprise, I owe it all to my mom. And some of my happiness to my dad and Taylor, too! J 

Ananya saves the day

I am using Darshana's idea on a post. These are the characters- Darshana, Ria, Bhavana, Divya, Gulia, Ramya, and of course MMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!  Sorry if i did not mention you. Here is the story!!!

      Once there lived 2 friends named Ria and Bhavana. They were always so happy together. Divya and Ramya did not like this. They don't like it when anyone was happy. One day, they sat under a tree and made a plan to make sure Ria and Bhavana were no longer friends. "We must tie them up and force them to give up their friendship!!!" yelled Divya. "Great plan! But be quiet! Darshana is a sneaky girl. She may be listening!" whispered Ramya. Ramya was absolutely correct. Darshana ran to Ananya's office. She told Gulia, Ananya's assistant worker, to show her where Ananya's room was. "Room number 8!" Gulia said happily. Darshana pounded on door number 8. "Come in!" Ananya said. Darshana entered and told Ananya everything. "Let's check on them" Ramya and Divya had Ria and Bhavana tied up to 2 pillars."If we ever see you two kids together again, I will throw you kids on the biggest bear ever!" Ramya yelled. " OK, fine! Just let us go!" the two girls cried. Divya untied them. They ran away. "I have a plan." Ananya said. She told Darshana the plan. "Tell Ria, Bhavana, and Gulia to stand out side the tiger cave with a boulder." "OK, but should I do the tricking when we are with those rude kids" Darshana asked. "No way! They will know your tricking them, because they know you well." Darshana did as she was told to do. It was Ananya's turn to take action. She went to Divya and Ramya. "I am an evil girl. I saw what you did to those girls. They didn't listen you! Since the tigers cave is empty because the tiger has gone hunting, they are talking at the very back of the cave." Ramya and Divya ran into the tigers cave. "PUSH!!" Gulia yelled. The boulder closed the cave. The tiger was still there! They got beaten. Before the tiger could pounce on them, Everyone pulled the boulder out a tad. The girls ran out. Everyone closed up the cave again with the boulder. Ananya's plan saved Ria and Bhavana's friendship. Ramya and Divya were never mean again. 

                                          THE END

             

Ideas

Hey guys!!! I need some ideas for my next story. And dont make me write something stupid!!!!!! Leave your idea as a comment. I will use the best ideas. Thanx!!! Dont forget to leave ideas!!!

The Magical Life

Chapter 1

My life is like many others, yet a little more magical. Oh, by the way, I’m Stacey Metro, or how I like to call it, magical Stacey. My family and I are wizards. Actually, I can’t tell anyone. I don’t know why. Anyway, I was going to school with my friend, Ann Mickletinne. Ann wouldn’t even look at me! All of a sudden she punched me and laughed. “That sure was funny!” she exclaimed. Ann can be so mean and violent sometimes.

I took my wand out of my backpack and silently chanted a spell, “Ann gets hurt for being hurtful. Make it happen in a bippady-bruffal!” Ann hit the ceiling and fell on the floor. Nobody knew what happened except me, but everyone was cracking up!  “That sure was funny!” I said the same way she had said to me. Ann groaned. I was not sad Ann wouldn’t talk to me because she wasn’t even a good friend. I made a new friend today. Her name is Rachel and she is super nice! I decided to go ahead and tell Rachel about the whole wizard dilemma. After I told her, I kinda’ felt guilty because my mom said I couldn’t tell anybody. The problem is she didn’t believe me!

“Sure” she said sarcastically. “ That’s impossible”. I called Rachel over to hang out and she said she would come. It took her a while to come so I used some magic. “Rachel, oh Rachel you are taking a while. Come on down to Stacey’s pile” The spell was kind of weird, but it

worked. I heard the doorbell ring. When, I opened the door, Rachel looked super mad. “NEVER USE YOUR MAGIC JUST TO MAKE ME COME! I guess you are a wizard.” she said.

          “What do you mean a wizard?” my mom asked as she came out of the kitchen. She looked furious.

          “You guys are wizards, right?” Rachel asked with a confused look on her face. “That’s what Stacey said. She even used some magic to make me come here.” And I knew I was doomed. I was in big trouble. L My mom grabbed my hand and pulled me into the kitchen.

          “Explain why.” she commanded sternly. I didn’t answer her. “I’m waiting!” she said impatiently. I burst into tears.

          “She’s s-so nice and m-my new best friend!” Then, I apologized. And I really meant it.

Chapter 2

              The next day, I went to wizard school. Normally, I learn some new spells. But today my instructor told me that later I would be in a battle. Not just any battle. It was a battle that depended on me to save the world. Now, you may ask me why they picked ME to do it. Well, everyone else backed out because it is really risky. My parents were thinking to back me out, but I made them let me do it. I wanted to show everyone how brave I was. But I was kind’ a nervous. One of the monsters I had to fight was Ventoride, the strongest monster, who can lift 143,567,008 houses in one hand! And I’m talking about mansions! That’s how large Ventoride is! So I have a reason to be scared. L

          I went for the first day of my training. It wasn’t easy. I had 30 monsters coming at me at the same time. I had to kill each one of them with my powerful wand. Well, I killed most of them with my wand. I wrestled the rest. BUT THEY WERE STILL IN PERFECT SHAPE!!!!!

          My instructor, Susan Kripinski, said I was failing. I tried to convince her to give me one more chance. She agreed, but she said I had to work extra hard. Then, she told me to go get my parents and to wait on the bench while she talked to them. I really wanted to hear what they were saying, so instead of sitting on the bench, I pressed my ear on the door.

          I heard Susan say stuff like “Stacey is doing very badly” and “I am regretting asking her to do this battle”. And I really regretted listening. I mean, I really don’t think I did that badly. I did stop using my wand and started wrestling the monsters, knowing that I could only kill them with my wand. But still.

          Susan said I had to come practice every day right after school till the battle. For 3 hours!! And the battle is 3 months away! Susan seemed to be in a bad mood, so without arguing I happily said “SURE!”

          I tried out the training for the first time because my parents wanted to see what all the training sessions are going to be like. And guess what?!?! Susan said I was surprisingly good! I killed every one of those nasty looking creatures. It was hard, but fun! It was also really nice to hear Susan say that I did well. Though she did say surprisingly before. I was still proud of myself.

          So I trained every day, succeeding in most and failing in a few. Susan said she was proud of my work even though I was confused when she would say “GO LEFT” and “KILL THE MONSTER TO YOUR LEFT BEFORE THE RIGHT”. But then she said something that really killed my mind. She said “But I understand that you have dyslexia.”

Chapter 3

 Without saying a thing, I ran into my mom’s car, my eyes filled. My voice was choked up from trying not to cry, but I managed to say “Why didn’t you tell me I had dyslexia?!?!?!” She frowned and sat still.

“The doctor only told us before the battle. Your father and I didn’t want to tell you because we thought you would lose confidence for the battle.”

I thought about this whole dyslexia thing and whether or not I was going to tell Susan I wanted to drop out. But I couldn’t and there were many reasons. Mainly because I have worked so hard. And the battle was tomorrow. I went to bed and was nervous for the battle.

I woke up and did my daily routine. Time for the battle! Susan handed me my wand. I went to the dungeon and entered. It was pretty easy because only 10 monsters came at once. I shot each one of them. Blood oozed out of their body. Then the next set of monsters came. Two of them tackled me. I managed to get them off and kill them, though I had bleeding scratches all over my face. And bruises. Finally they died. Battle over. But I was taken to the hospital because after I killed the last monster it tipped over and fell on me. I came out of the E.R with a broken arm. But I’m not upset. Because I learned an important lesson during the battle and its training. I learnt that things like dyslexia shouldn’t stop you from doing anything. I learnt how to face problems. And I saved the world.    

The Legend about misbehaving

One day I was misbehaving. Suddenly, my uncle kicked my butt! I went flying around town. I talked to birds and sat on clouds. I started going too high! I got burnt by the sun. I came twirling down to land. Well, that's what I thought. Instead I fell into a lake. I hopped out. That is the legend why Ananya no longer misbehaves. Or does she still misbehave? Nobody knows for sure.
