Today we read a story about the forest ponies. I will tell you about it. In elf land there were wonderful little ponies but you would be hiding in the trees. One day the wizard was so bad that the elves were so scared and the wizard left a trail of burnt ash.
Every one was so scared. The wizard was tear everything apart. Then the ponies got up and galloped closer and closer. The wizard didn’t see them but it was too late. The ponies were right there and he went away.

Love and Rain

I wrote this poem all by myself for poetry club today.  My friend Steve gave me a magnetic poetry set this weekend and I got lots of ideas from it.  Plus I don't have to worry about spelling because most of the words I want to use are already spelled out on the frige.  My poem is called Love and Rain.

Rain like sweet honey falling
from her soul with loving care
and with her nightingale
she has love for every creature.

Clara Barton

I think Clara Barton is pretty much the coolest woman who ever lived.   I am so glad I got to read about her.  Here are my favorite facts about Clara Barton.

 She was homeschooled by her brothers and sisters.

She treated injured pets and cared for her brother when he suffered from a fall from a barn. 

 She worked in a patent office like my dad but they wanted to pay her less for being a woman.  She demanded equal wage.

When the Civil War started, she wanted to help the soldiers, so she resigned her job at the Patent Office.

She got permission from the War Department to go to the front lines of the battlefield to care for the soldiers 

Next she joined the relief * effort in the war between France and Prussia. In Europe they had an organization called the International Red Cross.  Later she formed the Red Cross in America.

She was called the Angel of the Battlefield.

 

Friends are Fun Patch

I just earned the friends are fun patch .   I am so excited.   I got to make a bracelet. 

I made stationary and a curly message .  

I made a message in code.

I am going to mail it all to my friend Pablo who lives in Seattle Washington.  I think he will like it because he hasn't seen me in a long time and he won't be expecting a secret code.

Brownies

          I just joined girl scouts.   Saturday I will start selling cookies.   I got to taste cookies blind-folded to know if I could taste the difference.  We had a cookie kick-off party.  It was fun.

My finished report.

I spent a week and a half working on this paper.  First I picked a subject.  Next I came up with questions.  The I looked up the answers and started writing my paper.  I wrote it by hand first and then I typed it.  My mom made me keep my hands in position because I have a typing program now.  It took a long time.

      The ocean is cool.  The animal that live there are fascinating .  Some animals that live in the ocean are
dolphins , squid and starfish.

     There are so man things that  make dolphins special .  Dolphins squeak to talk to each other.  Some
dolphins hunt by forming a circle, pointing their tails in ward and kicking up sand .Then fish jump out and the
dolphins catch them in their mouths.  Dolphins have one calf at a time and six teen in a life time.
        
     Squid are so awesome.   Squid eat every thing form shrimp to whales.  Squid grow up to be 495kg in
weight and 6m in length.    Isn’t that cool ?
 
     The last animal I will tell you about is the cute little starfish.   They eat clams and snails.  Starfish weigh
about 5 kilograms.  Starfish are almost any color.

     So you see that ocean animals are truly fascinating.  There is so much magic under the waves.  I love the
ocean.

Ocean report

This is what I have typed so far on my first research paper.  I am trying to make my decision of if this is going to be my new lanhguage arts program or if I want to keep using the big workbook from k12.  I'm not sure.  I'm getting tired of the workbook but I think i would miss it.  I am learning how to make paragraphs in complete papers, so i got to pick anything I wanted to lean about.  I have learned a lot of stuff I didn't know.  And some stuff I learned from a video I watched at the Taylors house on my vacation.  Here is my paper.
