My Spare Time


            I like to do lots of things in my spare time.  I get a lot of spare time because I usually finish my school work really fast, so I have more time to do things that I enjoy.  Some of the things that I like doing are reading, playing outside, and making crafts. 
            I like reading because it is interesting and it takes me to other worlds.  The first book that I really actually loved is called Moon Dogs.  It’s mostly just a picture book, but it really lit up my interests.  Ever since then, I’ve liked reading books about mythology.  Mythology is magical and sometimes it scares me even though I know that the stuff I’m scared about could never actually happen.  I like hearing the adventures that people have in the different stories.
Playing outside is fun because I get to be in nature, which is one of my favorite playhouses.  I like being there because it’s so big and there are so many things to explore.  I like the animals and plants, and I like the open space to run.  I feel so free when I’m outside.
            I like making crafts because it really entertains me and puts my brain to use.  I like making things that some people would never have thought of.  There are so many different things I can make out of cardboard and hot glue.  I picked these really cool plants from our field and glued little eyes on them and called them fuzz buds.  I made little houses for them out of old cardboard boxes.  This is just one of the many things I like making.  I also like making wire crafts by using these tools to shape them into rings and putting beads on them.  There are so many things you can do with a few tools, wire, or cardboard.

            These are the kinds of things I like doing in my spare time from reading, to playing outside, to doing crafts.  I feel really creative when I do these things, and when I don’t get to do them, I can feel bored or not as excited as I usually am.  I wish everyone in the whole world could have as much spare time as I do.  Some people don’t get any at all.

Unifying Upper and Lower Egypt

In ancient times Egypt was formed into two separate nations called Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt.   The kings of these nations wanted to rule both Upper and Lower Egypt.   Eventually there was a war.   The king of Upper Egypt wore a white crown and the king of Lower Egypt wore a red crown.   So when the king of Upper Egypt, King Menes, won the war he wore a double crown.   Menes ruled for a long time.
