Long Tall Sally’s favorite sounds . . .

Ryleigh’s sounds, kitty’s sounds, laughing sounds.

Long Tall Sally’s favorite sounds.

Drip, drop,

Drip, drop.

The sound of rain.

Pitter, patter,

Split, splat,

Wind whistling,

Whooh, whooh.

Trinkle, trinkle,

Fall, fall,

Pit, pat,

Split, splat.

The sound of rain.

Have you ever seen a rock that has history behind it? Even if you’ve seen one, you should hike to Johnson Rock.

 

You should hike to Johnson Rock because it is great exercise. It is great exercise because I was painting when I got there, there are lots of steep hills, and I drank tons of water when I came home.

 

You should also hike to Johnson Rock because there is a very interesting plaque to read. The plaque was replaced two times, and the plaque has great information. Plus the story is real, not made up.

 

You should really hike to Johnson Rock because it is super fun to climb and jump off the rock. I did it four or five times. The rock was taller than me, and that made it fun to climb. And there is a mini forest to explore on top of the rock.

 

I hiked to Johnson Rock with my family, and I had fun. I hope you do too!

There is brown everywhere,

A brown tree,

A brown plop of mud.

There is wet splish splash water.

It is a dead end.

It is dry, dead,

Waiting.

Spring of nothingness.

Bring it all!

The green is rushing,

Bolting,

Wanting freedom.

Just wait.

Wait.

Wait for a new hope,

A new light will come if you wait.

Enjoy the things around you,

For they soon will be gone.

One day Speedy the Mealworm said, “Do you want to go on an adventure? Do you, Gonzales? Do you, please, please, please, please?”

“Okay,” said Gonzales. “On one condition, that we go worm racing!”

Speedy thought, “I really want to go on that adventure, but I do not at all like worm racing.”

Then Speedy said, “How about if we have a worm racing adventure?”

“Okay,” said Gonzales. “That will be fine! We should start packing. We have to go to Lola Island today.”

They packed sandwiches, fruit, and a gallon of milk plus two tents.

And off the two mealworm friends went.

I am going to show a chicken! It is very fun. There are many different types of chickens. An example is a Polish Topknot. It has a funny name.

Next year I am going to a Chicken 4-H. 4-H stands for head, heart, hands, and health. When I start showing my chicken, I will post a picture of me. Come back to my blog again! Until then, toodaloo!

I am a young and growing champion.

A tiny flash.

I am ready to rebuke the cold.

Bring on the wind!

Nothing scares me.

Nothing.

The northern lights are shining down on me,

Jeweled with stars.

My friend is the rabbit.

His fun-loving hop calling me,

“Follow me! Follow me!

For I will show you the trail you were born to run on!”

The Iditarod Trail!

I want to go on that trail.

I do, I do!

But I have to wait,

Wait ‘til it’s my turn

To run to be a champion.

I am the son of the champion.

I am the dog sled pup.

The trade I am interested in is weaving. The weaver could be a man or a woman. The waver made blankets, rugs, and much more. If someone came to a weaver’s shop, you would see a four post box and things the weaver made. Also, you would see lots of colored yarn. The waver would weave during the day. Yarn would be the main tool other than the four post box. The yarn would be wound on the four post box. The waver would also spin yarn and thread. If the waver didn’t spin their own, they would travel and buy it. The rugs would be thick and beautiful. Blankets would be thick and beautiful too. The townspeople used the rug for a way to keep their floors clean, and blankets to keep warm.

I studied Shakespeare for my topic in Genius Hour.  I used The Tempest by Shakespeare as a template for this play.  And it’s by me.

N= Narrator

D=Dynamite

S= Sparkler

R= Rip

V= Vip

M= Mismatch

 

N= One day a lonnnnnnng time ago, there were three friends living on Firework Island. Their names were Dynamite, Sparkler, and Mismatch. Mismatch was named Mismatch because he has one blue eye and one brown eye.

D= I think a storm is coming

S= Me too.

M= Me three, let’s go to our house.

D, S, M= Yes

N= No one thought the storm would wash up what it did. There was a duo of men who wanted to rule the whole world. Their names were Vip (very important person) and Rip (really important person). They wanted to rule Firework Island so they sailed there. When Rip and Vip got there everything changed.

R= Let’s make Dynamite, Sparkler, and Mismatch our slaves.

V= Yeah. And we’ll make Mismatch work the hardest since he has different colored eyes.

R= of course

N= Rip and Vip were being mean to M, S, and D, so M and S, and D did this.

S= we need to teach Rip and Vip a lesson.

M= I agree

D= I have a plan!

M & S= What?!

D= you know how they said tomorrow they’re going for a boat ride?

M & S= Umhmm…

D= We can put holes in their boat and then we’ll save them and that should make them more humble.

M & S= Yeah! Only one problem, how are we going to make the holes?

M= I have a drill.

D & S= Awesome!

N= That night they put their plan into action. The next morning…

V= I feel like we are sinking.

R= Oh don’t be silly this is the BEST boat in the world.

R & V= I’m getting wet!

D, S, M= We’ll save you!

N= Dynamite, Sparkler, and Mismatch brought Rip and Vip back to the island. Rip and Vip said sorry and they and Dynamite, Sparkler, and Mismatch lived happily ever after.

 

The End
