Ode to Summer

Ode to summer

The summer breeze

Makes me sneeze

I lie on my back and watch the bees

Oh what couldn’t be better?

The flowers sway in the breeze as if there dancing to the samba

The brilliant grass twists and turns as if it was a green mamba

My flip flops make a sound that you might hear at the Bomba

Oh what couldn’t be better?

The birds’ chirps sing a beautiful song

And the toad plays a gong

This symphony goes all day long

Oh what couldn’t be better?

Before long the leaves start to fall

I know that it is going to become autumn

And the days will become rotten

But summer was a ball

And I cannot wait to see it again next year!

Aurora and Luna

Luna
Goddess of the moon
guards the underworld
oh so beautiful

Nora and the cheat sheet

Nora Robin was in her history class room, taking the end of the term test. Underneath her test was an answer key. She knew this was wrong, but her mother was already upset about something Nora never knew about.

“How did I get myself into this?” She whispered to herself.

                She remembered the exact night when she thought of the idea. She was in her messy room, trying to study. Nora could never get anything memorized, so every test she took, she always failed. This time she was determined to get higher than a 90%! No matter how hard she tried, she would get everything mixed up.  Leo and Clarke went across Europe in 1984.

“NO NO NO!” her head screamed.

The only other way was to cheat. How could she? She wasn’t a straight A student in work, but she was very helpful around the classroom. But that still, there was never peace to the Robin house when they read the report cards. Her teacher told her if she does well on this test, she might get a better grade! Nora had to do it, she knew she did.

                Nora was on her last question, who discover America? Of course it was Christopher Columbus, and the answer key said it too. As she was writing Christopher in her neatest hand writing, her pencil tip broke! Luckily she had many spares.

                As she was opening her pencil box, to her dismay the answer key swiftly dropped to the floor in near someone’s foot.

“Creeeeek” went the paper as it fell.

                And to add on to the horrible event, her teacher came rushing over and picked up the paper!

“Hmmm… and who does this belong to? Nora? Grace? Anyone?

                Nora was panicking inside! She had to act normal. Calm down she told herself.

                “It wasn’t me!!!!” screamed Grace. Grace is one of those goody- goody girls. So she gets everything her way, and at the same time is the teacher’s pet! Nora’s teacher didn’t buy Ms.goody-goody’s pleads.

“GRACE GO TO THE OFFICE NOW”

“Oh no” thought Nora, what she had gotten herself into. And poor Grace, what has she done. Nora needs to fix this situation before it becomes even worse, and that means FAST!

Chapter 2

                Nora was sitting on a picnic table. She was thinking of a plan to end this terrible situation. What if I say that it was to help me study, and when I was getting my pencil it slipped out? But, she wouldn’t buy it.

“Thanks for giving me a two week detention!” screamed Grace.

“Dude, I’m sorry I don’t know whose it is. “

“Sorry is not acceptable; I think you better turn yourself in!”

                Grace stormed off. When did she get all mean to Nora? Usually, in the hallways, she would smile at Nora, or even talk to her. And two week detention isn't as bad as summer school.

                As Nora walked home she thought of a plan. It was called “top mission: cheat sheet.” She had to do many things do to this, and she may even get expelled. But all she wanted to do is get a higher grade. Nora had to go and figure out who sat in her desk the period before. Then she would see if this student was a slacker or a goody good student. With that information she could say that as she was getting her pencil case from her desk, the other student’s cheat sheet fell out and Nora was scared to admit it that she didn’t plan it there.

                That evening Nora’s mother bombarded her with questions. All she wanted to do was go inside her room put on her speakers and play music on her iPod. Alas, this couldn't happen because her mother didn’t allow iPods being used after dark.

“So, how was the test?”Her mother asked.

“It was fine, someone was cheating so we had to stop taking the test. I was almost done.” Replied Nora as she was placing her plate in the dishwasher.

“It wasn’t you right? You can tell me now, I won’t be disappointed. But if you lie then I will be very mad!”

“I need to go to the bathroom sorry” she hastily replied.

                As soon as she left, she went to straight to bed.

CHAPTER 3:

                The next morning Nora went to school early. She snuck into her history classroom and opened her teacher’s files. She saw her name and a red circle. Curious, she opened it and saw her report card.

NORA ROBIN		GRADE 6
MATH	B+ : please study better
ENGLISH	B+: Spelling!
HISTORY
SCIENCE	A: Facts, and notes are wonderful
WRITING	B-: Spelling and grammar are okay, need improvement.
Average: 50.78	Comments: Nora is a wonderful student, except she needs to work on her studies.
Sign:

She sighed and put it back, then she opened the class before Nora’s class files opened. She took out the seating arraignment.

“Hmmm… Hannah B.” she muttered. Hannah Beather was the victim. Nora fingered through the files and came upon Hannah B.

Hannah was also like Nora, expect worse. Nora felt as if she was the top student and Hannah was the worst. Nora sighed, and something caught her attention. Grace’s ungraded test was sitting on her teacher’s desk. Another plan came into her mind. She would make it look like Grace committed the crime. She carefully put Hannah’s file back. She grabbed Grace’s test and the cheat sheet on her desk too. She ran outside and into the hallway. Down the hall, she ran into the girls’ locker room, where she hid in a stall. She looked at Grace’s test:

Who were Lewis and Clark?

Lewis and Clark were explores sent by the king of England to sail across America. They were looking for the Pacific Ocean. They started in Pennsylvania and ended in Oregon. When they were in the middle of the country, they thought that they were very close because they heard some water, but to their surprise it was a vast Mountain Range, called the Rocky Mountains. They had to climb over the mountains, and then they finally reached the Pacific Ocean.

What year did the sail?

They gathered crew in 1803, set sail from St. Louis in 1804 and ended at the mouth of the Columbia River in 1806.

How did they record their trip?

They recorded their trip with a journal, that is missing pages, but still available to read!

What was the boat called that the pilgrims came to America called?

That boat was called the Mayflower. It

Who discovered America?

Nora realized that if she rewrote all the answers word by word from the study guide then her teacher will believed that it was Grace. She grabbed the test and put it in her backpack.

CHAPTER 4

When Nora ran inside her house, her mother was sitting at their dinning room table looking stern.
" Oh no, what did I do wrong." Nora thought to herself, did she forget to turn off a light, do a chore?
" Nora, come sit here." she said as her mother patted the seat next to her. Nora sat down.
" I got a call from the school principal, someones test was missing today and the school believes it was a student who committed the crime. I got an email too saying you were spotted around school before school started. Is this true Nora?"
 " Yes mom." Nora said.
" Nora why were you there?"
" I lost my glue stick there, and I needed to grab it before school." Nora lied.
" Okay Nora, I believe you." Her mother smiled and dismissed her. That was close. This was getting out of hand, Nora needed this to be over soon.She ran to her room and shut the door. Nora pulled out the test from her bag and placed it on her desk. She pulled out the answer key and started the process of filling it out word by word. It wasn't hard at all, her hand-writing was like Grace's and nobody memorizes exactly what they wrote, so Grace wouldn't figure it out. When she finished she placed the test and the key back in her bag, opened her door and started doing homework. The next morning, Nora woke up early and left for school early. Her mother leaves the house at 6 on the dot and Nora left at 7:30, giving her a whole hour before school. She entered the building and headed for her classroom. She walked in and noticed her teacher there.
" Hello Nora, how can I help you?" She smiled at her.
Nora manged to say " Oh, I just left my coat here yesterday and I wanted to get it." She walked to the coat room and hit herself. She needed to plant the test in Grace's desk, but how could she do it if her teacher was right there. She looked up at the ceiling and noticed she was under Grace's cubby. She stashed the test underneath Grace's math notebook and smiled. When her teacher comes in here today to collect notebooks before class, she will notice the test. She hung up her coat and her backpack and back to the classroom.
" Any luck Nora?" Her teacher questioned.
" Nope, but I think I know where it is." Nora responded.
" Well I'm going to pick up the math notebooks, did you do your homework, it could help your grade."
" Yes I did" Nora said smiling, she did do the homework and she knows her teacher thought she wouldn't.
" You can go now Nora, go play in the playground" Her teacher said as she headed for the coat room.
CHAPTER 5
  Nora sat in her seat watching all the other kids talk to their friends. Nora really never had friends, but she didn't care.
" Students, calm down now. I have graded all your tests, and figured out who committed the crime. They will have a green circle around there grade. They must go to detention for a month because they stole the test too."  Nora sat in her seat, scared. Did her teacher find out? Did she get Grace? What was going on!

My shape poem that you have been waiting for!

Here is my shape poem

The car says: My color is avocado green. On earth I travel with someone, but tonight I travel alone. I go to see my friends, the moon and the sun.

The moon says:  Hello! Hello! I am the moon, I see a car which is travling alone. I give it some moon cakes as I watch it leave.

The sun says: Hello Hello! I shout as a car appears. I give it a polish with my sun rays. I sigh as it goes away.

XOXOXOXO

Paintbrush!

Paintbrush

I travel across an easel

Like a bird flying in the air

My path leaves a lovely color

The color of love and betrayal

I have no arms no legs

But I still show my feelings

Through ways that happiness cannot create

But I can

I created the most beautiful place

And a mysterious lady

I’ve created places like Eden

But I am not a creator

I have been to heaven

Been to the deepest part of the sea

But, I cannot tell my stories

I cannot even cry

If I try great globs of blue will appear onto the easel

Like a drop of paint on snow

It will form my sea of sorrow

I will create a small raft

Enough for me and some food

I’ll go away to a place that only I can stay

I have done what I needed to do

In this spoiled world

My strength is not needed here

I feel unaccepted

You might think I’m a person

Someone you might know

To tell the truth

I am a paintbrush

Mia's Story update, and error fixing

* I REALIZED THAT A GIRL COULDN'T BECOME A DUCHESS JUST LIKE THAT, SO NOW HER WISH IS TO BECOME A LADY IN WAITING!!!* (This is the ending, go read the beginning!)

 I closed my eyes and peered into the slip. I felt indisposed as I made out the letters. It’s a legacy in my family to sing out loud when we are scared, and I guess I was singing out loud because the king looked at me if I was crazy.

“L-A-D-Y…” I started to say out loud

“-I-N-“I continued

“W-A-I-T-I-N-G” I screamed at the top of my lungs.

When everybody was done, we had to go to the despot of our new job. I was so excited! My heart skipped a beat when I saw the manager of the servants of the royal family. I hopped that the queen and I would have a harmonious relationship.

                As I got closer to the man, I realized that he was the man that our family had a feud with. He had a haggle over some pigs that we owned. We were selling it for 4 sparks, but he wanted it for 1 spark. In the end he stole them, and we were left with nothing. I heard rumors that he hoards his money in his shoe. I even heard he only eats baked peas. Before I could even say “Hello, how do you do”, he cut me off and started speaking.

“Are those shoes hardy enough to last one hour?” He said with a cynical tone of voice.

“Yes, sir” I replied trying to sound legitimate.

“Don’t try to act sagacious with me young lady, I don’t have that much patience with you, I officiate the rite every morning, I am sick and tired, so get a move on and get in the carriage.” He yelled.

I got the message that he was not partial with me, and I don’t think he ever would be. I got in the carriage, and we rode to the carriage. I hoped that my earnings would patronize my family, and we would be able to have the goods that we used to have. Sooner or later, we reached the palace. We quickly disembarked and headed down the royal garden into a stairwell. There were many steps, about 100. Out of breath, we reached the top. There was another hallway, all polish and clean. It looked like heaven. We walked down the polished hallway, and into a gigantic room. There on the throne, to my amazement was the queen. I quickly bowed down to her. Suddenly there was a bang and then….

I hear my mother’s voice.

“MIA, COME DOWN, YOU HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL. QUICKLY!” she yelled in her loud voice. I ran down the stairs confused. Then I remembered that the year is 2012 and I am 12 years old.

“Shoot” I said to myself “ I was at the good part”.

THE END!

Banana’s fruity Day

Banana’s fruity Day

       One busy day on Club Penguin, Banana waddled over to the pizza parlor. Today was peak season, when they get all of the freshest fish in the Arctic Ocean, and the greenest seaweed too. She was right. There was not a single chair available. The only other place was to sit on the oldest stage ever! With lots of grunts, Banana trotted over to a nice spot under the hot lights.

            Just then she heard a familiarly voice. It sounded like Summer. Summer’s real name is Summerleaze, and she was the most kind-hearted friend ever.

“Summer, it’s me Bananapple”

“Hi Bananapple!”She screamed

            Summer walked to her area and plopped he self down.

“Hey, did you have you seen the new lake?” said summer

“No, it’s always filled with mean members” replied Banana

“Follow me”

            They waddled out of the parlor, and into the busy streets of the plaza. There where boxes filled with music items for the next party, the music jam! Plus, there were mad penguins ramming into everybody to get through.

            “COME ON” shouted Summer

            They went through a forest, and stopped at a boulder. Summer lifted the bolder, and there was a ladder going inside.

            “Climb down”

 Banana climbed down the ladder. Wondering what’s down there.  When she got to the bottom, there was a glistening lake smack in front of her, plus the Aqua Grabber (a machine used in an underwater game where you grab pearls, worms, and soda cans.). There was a treasure chest too. And there were two waterfalls with two separate islands.

“YEAH” went summer as she jumped in.

“Come on in, it’s nice and warm”

“FINE” screamed Banana

SLPASH

            Summer was right, the water was marvelous. They splashed in the water for hours and hours. Then they played their favorite game, Marco Polo.

            “RRRIIIINNNNGGGG” when Summer’s phone.

“Hey I need to go to play practice, see you around” said Summer.

            “Will you be back????”           said Banana hopefully

            “No”

            When Summer left, Banana went back home. She washed up, changed into fresh clothes, and sat down to watch the news.

 “BUZZZZ” went Banana’s phone!

It was from summer, there stage to act there play was ambushed, and she thought if they could use Banana’s igloo.

“Let them come, maybe I’ll see what there play is” thought Banana.

She replied quickly, and cleared the area for the play. Soon her guests came. They practiced for hours, and the play was about the arctic sea and pizza. ! BORING! When they went home, Banana plopped down on the couch.

“Whoa, what a awesome day I had” she thought

“I hope others are like this too” she said aloud.
