Thanksgiving by Dom Herrera

Although, I enjoy every holiday, Thanksgiving is the bomb. Initially, Thanksgiving has delicious food. The turkey from Thanksgiving is so delicious and tasty. Pumpkin pie is the tastiest food in the world. Additionally, my family is the best family to me because they are a fun family. Seeing my cousins is very fun because they are funny and crazy. Lastly, I like to relax like I am in an awesome spa. I like to watch the Broncos play against Detroit Lions and see who wins. Napping with my friends and playing my Nintendo DS is very relaxing. Without question Thanksgiving is the greatest holiday.

I would make these three changes to the cafeteria. To get the ball rolling, I would have the walls look as exciting as a lion. The cool thing is that I would put posters on the walls of famous people (like Albert Einstein) to inspire us. since the sky is so eye-popping, I would paint the walls baby blue (with cloud designs). Furthermore, I would make more time to eat. We would be able to do what we want. We would have time to eat and then chat; it would be a wonderful time to relax and eat at the same time. Lastly, we would be able to change the food. The cafeteria would have more magnificent choices to choose from like nachos and mixed greens. Also, if they give us more healthy food you would look splendid .As you can see, I would make 3 changes to the cafeteria.

Changes to the Cafeteria by Breanne Gerlock

My 3 changes to the lunchroom would be nice to have. Initially, I would like to change where we sit. We would get to sit where ever we want, and we don’t have to sit with our classmates. The 5th graders would be able to sit with 5th graders and 4th graders would sit with other 4th graders. Likewise, I would want to change the drinks we have. We should have chocolate milk every day. Also, we should get Pepsi every other day. Last but not least, I want to change the food. We should get to pick out what ever we want to eat. They should get us some potato chips (like barbeque chips). Clearly, my 3 changes to the lunchroom would be nice to have because we would get to sit wherever we want, pick what we want to drink and would get to pick the food we want.

What Makes a Good Friend by Jillian Edwards

Every good friend has three important traits. To begin, she would be caring. My friend would give me a lot of gifts for no reason. She will always help me with my homework when I need help. Next, she is so funny it blows my mind. She makes me laugh so hard I fall down. My friend would tell a lot of jokes, like cartoon jokes. Finally, she tells the truth all the time. My friend would tell the truth to her teachers and friends. Clearly, every good friend has these three traits.

My Friend by Maddy Lopez

I can describe my friend Raynna in many different ways. To begin, she has pretty hair. Her hair is as brown as an oak tree’s trunk .Furthermore, she can eat a mammoth hamburger. She can eat a hamburger with every thing on it (such as extra pickles). Last but not least, she is a good friend. Raynna will be there no matter what. If you were falling out of a tree she would be there to help. As you can see, Raynna has pretty hair, she is a big eater, and she is a good friend.

My Perfect Brother by Arianna Lopez

My perfect brother would be loving, helpful, and cool. To begin, a loving brother would be our heart on Thanksgiving. Moreover, brothers that are helpful are like a first aid kit or a helping with homework aid kit. Last of all, cool brothers can do crazy magic tricks like illusions and card tricks. Thus, my perfect brother would be loving, helpful and cool.

The Terrible Turkey Day by Jasmine Lopez

I’ll never forget the time I was a turkey. It all started when I went to bed,

(I was human then).When I woke up I was going to wiggle my toes, and I saw three webbed toes with bumpy skin.

Soon after I was outside and something hurt like a needle, and out popped a feather, and more followed after. Then a beak came instead of a mouth. Sadly I ended up in the barn (Guess what came to my knowledge, it was Thanksgiving).

Forty minuets later a tall, crazy man started to chase me. I ran as fast as a speeding bullet (Eventually I wore him out). Seven minuets later he came out with a knife and caught me! Just as he was going to cut off my head I tuned back!

What I learned from this experience is that it’s hard to be any animal on any holiday.

How to Make a PBJ Sandwich by James Anderson

I like making different things, but peanut butter and jelly is my favorite thing to make. To get the ball rolling, you get the scrumptious ingredients. First you get the peanut butter and jelly, and the bread. Furthermore the first thing you do is put the pieces of bread down, and then you put peanut butter on one piece and jelly on the other. Lastly, I’d be able to eat my sandwich. You can eat the sandwich wherever I want. To wrap up, I like making different things, but my favorite thing to make is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches because you get the scrumptious ingredients, start making it, and you get to eat. You can make a great peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Deadmau5 by PJ Hurtado-Berg

Dead Mau5 is my favorite type of music. To begin, Dead Mau5 has cool costumes. He has a head that has eyes that glow in the dark to every beat he makes. Next, he has an awesome stunt double that dies (he pretends to die) on the stage. Finally, he has an awesome Dead Mau5 mechanical head (the head is virtual). The head goes to the beat of Ghosts n’ Stuff (I think it was one of his most popular hits). Clearly, Dead Mau5 is my favorite type of music because he has cool costumes, he has a stunt double, and he has a mechanical head.

Halloween by Alyssa Martin

Halloween is a wonderful holiday. To begin, you can get costumes. It’s awesome getting to be any thing! Plus, I love all the makeup you can wear. Additionally, candy is amazing! You can get enough to fill the entire Empire State Building. There’s all different kinds and flavors (yum). Finally, decorating for Halloween is awesome (even better than candy). You can make spiders and fake cob webs. Skeletons give some people giggly bones. Clearly, Halloween is a spectacular holiday because you can wear a costume, get candy, and decorate.

My Favorite Holiday by Robert McCall

Although I enjoy many holidays, Thanksgiving is the absolute best. To start, there are many delicious foods. Turkey is the fat and juicy thing. Have you tried pumpkin pie? Oh you don’t know what you are missing out on. Also, my family has many relatives. I have lots of cousins (I think I have over 25 cousins). My first one is Katlen. We play Gator together all day, it is fun game we play. Lastly, everybody would sit down and watch pro football. We saw the Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins. The Redskins won the game. That night we all dreamt and snored except me. Without question, Thanksgiving is the best because I can eat great food, see my family, and relax.

My Special Item by Jasmine Lopez

My favorite item is a big, red, valentine gorilla. Initially, it is special, it was given to me by a friend, oh no my best friend. Her name was Jazmin Medina. Furthermore, my gorilla is pillow like and it helps me sleep. It has a million little fluffy strands all over its body, even on his wrists. Also, when it’s cold, it keeps me warm during the night. Clearly, my favorite item is my gorilla because its pillow like, special, and fluffy.

My Favorite Animal by Augie Valles

My favorite animal is a lion .To begin, Lions are the strongest. They are stronger then all boring animals. Lions are strong like a piece of metal. Next, they are kings. Lions are king of the Savannah. The lions get to control the animals, such as lizards and gazelles. Last, they are cool looking. Their fur on their body is awesome. Their tail has a cool patch of hair on it. Clearly, my favorite animal is a lion.

My Special Day by Destiny Murphy

I will always remember the most special day in my life. It all started in my living room with my friends at 4:00. There was a Piñata hanging with Tinker Bell on it and purple strings hanging off of it. All of us were having a great time by chasing a boy named Morgan.

Shortly after, I opened my presents. One of the presents was a pair of cowgirl boots. After I opened my presents, we ate my marble cake. Then, we went in to my room. My friends and I went to watch All Dogs Go To Heaven.

Just before they went home we hit the piñata. We got lots of candy like gum and Tootise Rolls. My friends went home after that.

As I think about it now, I learned that when you have a birthday, try to have as much fun as you can. It is important to have a good time so that everyone has fun. I always try to invite people who will be nice and have fun.

My Favorite Friend by Angel Garcia

If I had to pick my favorite friend it would be Bryan. To begin, he plays soccer with me all the time. He likes being goalie but he can’t block slow balls. When he plays like a player and I’m goalie he kicks as hard as a rock. Further more, we play a lot of video games. We both play the game called Black Ops Call of Duty. He only plays God of War. Finally, he’s always there for me. He waits for me at school. Sometimes he waits for me at home. As you can see, Bryan is a good friend because he plays soccer with me, plays video games with me, and he’s always there for me.

My Favorite Relative by Augie Valles

I have many relatives, but my cousin Josiah is the best in my family. To begin, we love football. We both play tackle foot ball every year. Next, we are really fast, like a road runner. When we both race it is always a tie. Last, games are really fun. We love Madden very much because we play football. Clearly, I have many relatives, but my cousin Josiah is the best in my family.

Thanksgiving by Destiny Torres

Although I enjoy every holiday, Thanksgiving is the absolute best. To begin, food is the best and yummy. Turkey is the best on thanksgiving when your family gives you fantastic brown gravy with it. Pumpkin pie is the best with whipped cream white as snow. Additionally, spending time with family is spectacular. I would see my cousins Jordon and Jaden when they invite me on Thanksgiving to have dinner. Together at their house we play lots of video games in their bedroom like race cars, and Mortal Combat. Lastly, I love to go into my purple room and relax all day. Watching football is the best when nobody bothers you. Taking a nap is the best when I watch TV on the couch. Without question, Thanksgiving rocks because I eat great food, see my family, and relax.

My Favorite Item by Jesus Lamberty

My favorite item is my dad’s 21-foot Baitliner for many reasons. To start, we can go tubing and fishing. You can catch enormous catfish and humongous pike. Next, when I go fast on the tube, my dad cheers me on. It feels like you are on rocks when you go fast. Lastly, you can dive off the end of my dad’s boat. We can do flips off of it as high as a helicopter in the sky. In conclusion, my favorite item is my dad’s 21-foot Baitliner because you can go tubing and fishing, my dad cheers me on, and you can dive off of it.

Without question, my favorite car is a ’69 Dodge Charger.

Computer Club by Arianna Lopez

Although I like many clubs, I would create a computer club. To begin, for our computer club we should be able to go on the internet. In our computer club we can do research on frogs (like slimy toads). Moreover, publishing can help you become a better typer. Also, typing SCRs can be hard because SCRs are tests. Fun stuff like posting on your blog is kind of an activity .Lastly, Successmaker can help you learn different things. Having math skills can help you be a better math student. Getting smart will let you get better grades like Albert Einstein. Thus, a computer club would be excellent.

Next, I like to eat at Carlos Miguel’s because I can learn a different culture. I can experience a different type of food.

Nasty Burgers by Gloria Medrano

Even though I have a lot of least favorite meals, my least favorite meal is my Mom’s home made hamburgers. To begin, my mom puts too much of her garlic. Her garlic is spicy as a jalapeno. Her home made hamburgers are hot. Equally important, they taste nasty like garbage. The reason why they taste so nasty is because my mom puts too much onion. Last but not least, my mom makes them to greasy like lotion. She puts too much oil in her home made hamburgers. That’s what makes her hamburgers to greasy. Clearly, this is why I don’t like my Mom’s home made hamburgers.

Even though there are many rappers Eminem is my favorite. To begin, Eminem is my favorite rapper in the world. My favorite song is When I’m Gone. Next, I really love to listen to the awesome beats really loud. Have you tried it on Rock Band? You can listen to crazy streams.
