TIME FOR SUMMER VACATION!

I'm happy, I'm ready,

I'm silly, I'm sad,

I'm jolly, I'm jumpy,

I'm lazy, I'm glad!

I've got many feelings

Because school is done.

I'll miss many things,

But the summer is FUN!

More Crickets!

More baby crickets just hatched! Soon it will be time to set them all free in our teacher's backyard.

Custard and the Gingerbread Man - by Hunter

Once upon a time Custard went into the Gingerbread Man's story. I ran so fast that I caught him. He said, "Don't cook me!" but I cooked him for lunch with my fire breathing breath. He was tasty. He tasted like a banana. It was good. I lived happily ever after.

Our Beach Trip

We went to Pine Point Beach with the whole first grade. We went beach combing and we found shells, crab legs, driftwood, a whole crab, lots of different seaweed, and feathers. Natasha became an expert at finding razor clams, and Dakota became an expert at finding whole sand dollars. We saw barnacles on the rocks, rocks, seagulls, someone fishing, big waves and small waves, and the tide line. The tide was going out and we learned how to tell that. Alanna made a sand castle with drips. Jase, Hunter, and Daniel wrote their names in the sand. Laney, Brooke and Emma wrote in the sand and drew pictures in the sand. We dug tunnels and made the water go into different places. We dug big, deep, holes too. We went wading up to our ankles. The water was a lot warmer than we expected. It was an awesome day!

So I ran and pushed her into the oven. Thumbelina was so surprised to see her father waiting for her! They sat down at the table. Her Dad said, "Can you use your powers to make us rich?" "Yes," said Thumbelina. And they lived happily ever after.

Hi, I'm the Gingerbread Man. I am going into Red Riding Hood's story. I'd better watch out for the Big Bad Wolf. Oh, oh, let's just get on with the story. AAAHHHH! The Big Bad Wolf! Ugh! And little Red Riding Hood as well. They're trying to eat me! Help! Oh no! I hear something coming. The Wolf is catching up, but that doesn't stop me. I'll go faster. Oh no! I'm going too fast, I can't see, aaahhh! Stop! I can help you. Oh! A woodcutter. Well, will you eat me too? No!
