Character: Paul Revere, Setting: Boston....You write the story.

I was riding on my horse through Boston when I saw Paul Revere. We both stopped and he said, ''A hobo and a hobo horse"
''OK" I replied. Paul and his horse both started to spaz out. I continued on, and then I saw Paul again. Now he said, "It's you"and then he started to chase me. We went through the harbor and right into the live animal museam. He chased us right over the pirona tank. His horse tripped and fell in the tank.I was the protector of Boston. He still chased me over the tank. He fell in again but they left the bones in the tank the last time. Now he haunts the museam and any one who enters it.

What would you do if an uninvited dwarf came to your door?

If an uninvited gest came to my door it wouldnt be cool. I would say what do you want and slam the door on his face. So he would knock on the door again and I said, "Oh look it is that homless hipie again." So then I said, "Do you really want to come in, or do you want to steel stuff?"
" Both," the hipy said.
Then I smacked him across the face and said," Get a life," and threw him out the door. So then I went to bed and I heard a knock. So I clapped my hand and somthing you do not want to know fell on him. Thats my story.

Should Summer Vacation be Longer?

I think summer vacation should be longer because it gives us kids time to spend time with our family. Reason two, we have to spend some time out of school so we can rest our brains . Reason three, we can get a good job over the summer so we can get money for college. Reason four, maybe kids want to chill out over the summer. Reason five, us kids want to have a sleepover during the week. Reason six, we want to play all week and do a lot more. Reason seven, we need more time to ourselves and maybe we read during the summer.Reason eight, teachers need summer because they need to take classes. My opinion is you get really sweaty in school during the summer there is no air conditioning!

My dream school.....

In my dream school it would have a 25 foot long and 5 feet deep hot tub. It had a 50 foot long video game room. There would be five hours of recess. There are a few classes like gym, math and video games. It would have a 50 foot pool. Well one day Stephen came in the room and told me I was elected class presedent. I put a hot tub in the class and a 64 inch plasma tv. I put ten new computers in. I made the smart board two feet bigger. and the class had recess during that. Then I saw Stephen on the computers during gym!!! I gave him homework. Then I saw Cole looking at me as if I tolled him I would give him a years supply of food, so I did. He stopped looking at me. That is my dream school.

My weekend was really good. On Saturday my mom went shopping with my nana. So Reeghyn and I stayed with my dad. We played Just Dance on the Wii. When they got back my mom put the groceries away, and she, my nana and I went to Plato's Closet. On our way there we saw My cousin Hannah and my uncle Jay at Seb's. We stopped there and picked up Hannah, we both got ice cream. At Plato's Closet I got one tanktop. When we got back Hannah and I helped my nana babysit aiden and his two brothers. One is a baby. Their names are Nathan and Owen. Nathan is the baby. On sunday my nana, Hannah, Reeghyn, Aiden, my mom, and I went to McDonalds for lunch. When we got back Hannah and I played American Girl Dolls. We brought Aiden home. My dad, my mom, Reeghyn, Hannah and I watched The Blind Side. It was a great movie.

What if you became a superhero and had to save the world?

If I was a superhero and I had to save the world I would be Ryman. My arch enemy is Colezilla, he can eat anything. Colezilla was using his Gigantifiar to make everything huge. He did that so he had more stuff to eat. Today he was in New York City. He was trying to find the biggest cake so he could make it even bigger. But Ryman was way ahead of him, Ryman was already in the city. After he got people far away, using his super strength to help. Now all Ryman had to do was wait. When Ryman started to feel the ground shake he got ready to fight. He started off trying to weekin Colezilla by blasting him with his eye lasers. It got Colezilla on the ground but he wasn't dead. Ryman started to use his super strength to pickup a huge building and he threw it on him. Now Colezilla was hurt pretty bad until he healed himself byeating the door off of a car. He shot flames out of his mouth and burned the building in a couple of seconds. When he got up Ryman shot him with his atomic laser and he flew far far away. After Colezilla was gone Ryman blew up the gigantifiar.


P.S. Colezilla was a dragon.

What if a mad scientist took over the classroom?

If a mad scientist took over the classroom...
Then he would make us do more science. It would be horrible. He would make us figure out how to make Bose Einstein Condensates, which is hard. We never did figure it out, but he tried everything! He even lets us put a few ice cubes in the refrigerator. Then he made us figure out everything we haven't even started to learn yet. All I heard was, blah, blah, blah, and blah, and blah. I wish Mrs. Pearson was back. She isn't here because she was sick today. I never thought I would say this but I think thew teacher is to smart for us. He was to busy giving us a lecture on how much he's doing to figure out BEC we couldn't go to gym. Today we were supposed to be playing floor hockey. My favorite thing to do in gym. So yes this is getting a little to far. On the playground (thank goodness he let us out for recess!) the whole class made a plan to get rid of him. We all looked in the window at him, his hair was on fire, then we herd a explosion. I'm guessing that his experiment didn't work. When we went inside all of us took him threw him out the door and locked everything. All of us had to sneak out the window to get to the bus on time, but it was worth it.

If I were stranded alone on an island

If I were stranded alone on an island then I would run into the ocean and attempt to drown myself. But then I saw a big cruise ship with a music competition and I saw my saxophone on the island. I would run to my instrument and run to get onto the dock so the ship could pick me up. When I got on the ship I saw a big sign that read "The Greatest Music Competition in the World!'' Then below it there was a sign that read , ''The Winner of This Competition Will Get to be a Bat-Boy for whatever Baseball Team you want.'' So after that week I practiced playing the saxophone on my back while I have a very sharp knife balancing on my nose. The judges thought that I did the best so I won. I picked to be a Bat-Boy for the Boston Red Sox. I got 100,000 dollars for winning the competition, and I got paid 5,000 dollars a month for being the Bat-Boy.

The day I went bungee jumping...

The day I went bungee jumping was when I went to the Champlan Valley Fair, and I did a few back flips and two front flips then I just bounced for a while. Then I had to get off but it was fun while it lasted. But when we got home I went to bed then I had dreamed that I was still bungee jumping and I did two back flips in a row then I did three front flips in a row. But then I froze in mid air then Indians were shooting arrows at me then I woke up. Then I said, "Thank God it was a dream."

If it isnt his turf and he turns into a wolf he will be killed by the pack leader.

What has been the most fun activity at school so far?

My favorite thing that I did this year so far was probably when we did floor hockey and soccer .I also liked when we went on the field trip to the Flynn to see Jackie Robinson . Can you imagine living your life the way he did ? I also liked when we had ELF, and there were deer and they had to get the food but, then there was a wolf that would tag them .I also thought it was fun in Words Come Alive when we did the slave ship it must have been hard staying in the ship four to six weeks .

If you were an insect, what kind would you be and why?

If I were an insect I would be a butterfly because they are really pretty. Then I would hatch out of a cocoon. I also would want to be a dragonfly because they have cool colors. I would want to be both of them because they both can fly. That would be awesome. Then I could go were ever I wanted , when ever I wanted. I would probably go to the Natik mall in Boston, Massachusetts . Then if I were an insect I would have to eat other bugs. That part I would not want to do.

Finally the monkey's mom and dad got home we were playing chess when they got home. When the monkey's dad saw the house broken down he freaked out. So I ran back to my house as fast as I could.
