One Floating Rock

In our class, we were inspired by a woman named Cindy Jenson Elliott to create this piece of writing. But first, since she’s an author, we had to read her epic book she wrote. I hope you like mine!!!

One floating rock finds a way to have craters. It shimmers in the dark shady sky, it peers out and one tattered rock wedges into the rocky surface hovering above the earth. The Meteors scatter
across the rocky ground and spread. Craters are formed.

One floating rock finds a way to orbit. It circles around our earth, well the earth circles the sun.

One floating rock finds a way to be a night light. It’s a spot light that glimmers throughout the pale night sky, while we’re all snug in our beds.

One floating rock finds a way to have a force. It swirls around earth and passes by the sun every 27 days. The flare of the sun pulls the moon close, but the earth has force to! That’s how the moon stays in place well circling the earth.

Comic Life

In my class, the MAC class, we did an exciting new project using an app called Comic Life. And in the app Comic Life, you get to make your own amazing comic! Our theme was the Outer Space. My comic was about the epic wonders of the moon. So, I hope you get to use this app and make your own terrific comic. I hope you also like my comic featuring the an excellent story about the moon!

The Birthday Thief

In school we had a exciting new challenge in the MAC class! You see every week we have a word with a special meaning that we reveal at the end of every week on Friday. So, our teachers have decided to set us to a exhilarating  new challenge to put as many Word Wall Words ( Word Wall Words means the special words we do and put on our wall) as we can in to a story. I hope you like mine!!

The Birthday Thief

One day we’ll the moon had diminished, piggy woke up and was exhilarated to find out that his friends on the field threw him a two day early birthday party!! They all walked, waddled, and ran toward the cake and pizza on a table nearby. Once they reached the table they were all aghast to see that the cake and pizza was all gone! It was a huge predicament. But with piggies adept skills, he was determined to crack the case. As minutes bled into hours piggy nestled in his bed but was vigilant  for intruders. A day past as piggy continued to scrutinize the problem. But then he noticed a box with a shaggy blanket set over it embedded  in a corner. But piggy new that had never been there before. He was in a haste to inquire  the crate, he was still being careful about walking in the innumerable amount of rusty nails on the barn floor. When he reached the box piggy started to study it, he opened it and found left overs from the cake and pizza!!!!!! Then piggy glanced at the floor and saw duck footprints!!!!! “We got a suspect!” Piggy strictly said. And he was right!! Duck fest up! The next day everyone baked a new cake the gobbled it up!
The End

Have You Ever Heard Of StoryBird?

Have you ever heard of the app StoryBird? Well if you haven’t, that’s where I can help you.
Our class got introduced to the app StoryBird with Mrs. Heyer.
(our school technology teacher).

StoryBird is an app that you can make stories on, like mine. You can look at pictures and once you find a picture that you want for your own story, the next step is you press a little lightning bolt at the bottom of the picture you got inspired to write a story about. Once you press the Lightning bolt, then it leads you to the story part!

You get to pick pictures and a cover! Then you have made your story!

 

Two Voice Poem

On a day like many others, we did a two voice poem. A two voice poem is a poem that has two voices, well it’s kind of like it has two sides, two speakers. So on one side of the poem is one character talking, and the same thing on the other side of the two voice poem. And if you want to make two people say something at the same time, you move the the sentences/ words on the same line.

San Elijo Lagoon

Since I was absent when my class went on a field- trip to the San Elijo lagoon, I looked it up on Safari. I learned that the desert cotton tail pretty much has super hearing, it could even hear a coyote stepping across the trail from a really far away distance away. And a pocket gopher, unlike hamsters and squirrels, pocket gopher’s cheeks are outside their mouths and twice the size of hamsters and squirrels! The raccoon preys in the shallows, using their sensitive hand-like front paws to feel around for shellfish close to the shore.

Monarchs

I was inspired by a day at school to write this. we were taking pictures of the school’s grass, butterflies, trees, and some of the plants. It was really fun because we got to go all around the school to do this!

( we took pictures with our iPads ).

Have you ever thought about how a monarch eats? Monarchs eat nectar with its proboscis. A proboscis is a tongue that sucks nectar from a flower. That is what they eat with. They drink nectar from some different types of flowers. did you know that they have to travel from Canada to Mexico? It takes them to about 8 months to travel back, and 4 to 6 weeks to travel to Mexico. They have a long journey ahead of them. But they will have some problems on the way, like people cutting down trees that are their homes. Or maybe building over the butterfly’s home. It is so sad. A few weeks later… It will be summer and it was the morning in summer, a butterfly stretched its wings and shoots off in the sunlight for its journey. those magical creatures are on their way to Mexico and will soon be back.

Seasons are Changing

We chatted with Lizi Boyd today. And I hope you get a chance to chat with an author too.

It all started in his house. But it was a very quiet day. And he checked outside what weather it was. It’s snowing he cried. He started to build a snowman with his dog. Then finally they finished. And then it was a new season. It was spring. They wanted to build a boat. And then they decided to grow a garden. They hoped it would be like a forest. And then they found bird tracks and they followed them and followed them. And he and his dog were looking forward to their next winter.
