Reading Poem - AHW

Read, read. Oh, anyone can read. To flip through the fresh scented pages of thick chapter books is one of the greatest privileges of the world. As learners we are obliged to see beyond the black and white text... and into the color hidden between the lines. Yes, to enter the world of a book. Beyond your imagination. Into a world that everyone shares. But all see it differently. Contribute to the world by reading every day. Fly through those rectangular pages that can make changes as big as the world.

Barnyard Wednesday

I just found out that I am going to be pet-sitting baby chicks starting this Wednesday, only for a few days though. My mom's friend is busy, so we are taking care of them. I am sooooo excited! I wonder how big they will be? Gosh, I don't quite know what chicks eat. Where will I keep them? How much exactly can we hold them?! I am expecting them to be small and round. A yellow that is the same hue as egg yolk, well go figure. Also, very fluffy, a tiny little beak, and last but not least to cute button like eyes. Yay!

The Envelope

I can not contain myself in the car ride back from school! "Grandma! Drive faster!" And why may you ask? Because…. I need to find out what class I am in and who is in it! I jump out of the car when we pull into the drive-way. "Can you carry my stuff? Thanks!" I yell to her. I rush to the door and ring the door-bell. RING….. RING…. RING! RING! RING! RING! I shove aside my sister and rip open the envelope. And I get…… Yes!

School is coming to a close...

Throughout the year, I have been very successful in my academic achievements. And I want to be next year. I am really nervous to find out who my new teacher is. What if I get split up with my friends? Whatever happens, I'll be happy. It shall be so sad leaving the Joberts team. Message to the fifth graders: Use your time wisely. Seriously. In 7/8, I heard- you don't get as much freedom as we do now. Anyway… I am sooooooo excited for the summer!

My New Look

"Would you like orange, chocolate, vanilla or raspberry flavored gas?" The dentist asked me.

I thought to myself, 'Gas! What on Earth. Oh, Yeah, Laughing gas.'

"Um, I would like… Orange flavored- I mean scented."

"Alrighty."

I was about to get my chipped tooth patched up. It just happened to have been in a sensitive area on my tooth. I saw the hygienist slowly slip the mask over my nose. Instantly I burst into laughter.

"Oh, My!" she said, "This is working well!"

I slowly started to breath in the orange scented air. My fingers started to tingle. My vision became blurry. And everything felt surreal! Best of all: I had this sensation that I would go into laughter at any moment.

In what felt like hours later, the dentist held up a mirror. And I miraculously saw my new fixed tooth.

"I chipped my tooth!"

My water bottle slowly started to slip. My right hand was full with all of my school stuff. So, I hoisted up my water bottle. Nooooo! It got kind of out of control. And it… Hit. My. Mouth! For two seconds I was kind of in a daze, then I looked down a tiny white chunk, rolling to a stop. Then I yelled out, "I chipped my tooth!"
