My first Halloween Sep 12 2011

By: Sarah Xie

I ran to the kitchen following the scent of my mother's homemade apple pie ! I

grabbed a plate and started to fill my plate up with apple pie. Then I started to stuff it

in my mouth. “Yum” the sweet apple pie with cinnamon bread, the apple's in the pie

so sweet and soft, the crunchy and crisp crust that made it even yummier!

“Yum” My little brother said. Now my little brother was copying me! Oh

bummer!

Since it was Halloween my little brother and I got dressed up as things we

want to be! But guess what it was my FIRST HALLOWEEN! I was dressed up as a

little Ladybug! And my little brother; Alex was dressed up as Winnie the Pooh. I was

getting hot so I said to my mom “mommy I am HOT I want to go outside”! I said.

Then mom said” Yeah I think we should go outside now “.

Then Mom brought me outside as she put on her coat and dad put Alex in the

stroller. Then dad started to push the stroller and mom held me while I carried my

little pumpkin basket.

Then we got to the first house on our block. Whoa I thought I never saw

pumpkins so scary! Look at those sharp teeth and that cruel smile and that light

burning inside giving out a burning smell. Then I looked at Alex he was just staring at

them smiling. Then mom rang the doorbell.” ding dong.” It repeated many times .I

was holding on to my mother tightly, After the ring repeated a few more times the

door opened. Alex's smile went on.

The person that opened the door was a lady in a black dress. The dress was so

long it almost reached the ground and you could only see the tips of her shoes. Her

hair was very long and it was the color black. Her hat was really pointy with a green

ribbon rapped around it. Then mom said, "you have to say trick-or-treat". Then I said,

"trick-or-treat" in a very small voice. But then I heard a different voice "TRICK -OR-

TREAT''I turned around and saw who it was . . .My little brother? He was screaming

really loud! Then when I turned around the lady smiled and held out a basket full of

treats! Yum then I grabbed a treat which was a double fudge chocolate candy bar.

Then my little brother got one to.

Then we left. That was fun! I was still in my mother’s arms while Alex was

still in the stroller. I was eating my candy bar and my little brother was studying his

candy bar! This Halloween is going to be FUN!

Summer : RHYMING POEM

Summer has just begun, kids run out to play,the hot sun burns the ground,and children sweat all day.

Swimming pools are filled with water, children splash in the pool,even if the sun is hot, the swimming water is still cool.

Days go by so fast,But children still plan,to run and play all day,OH NO...... its school again!

Spring : Acrostic Poem Spring flowers bloomPattering rain falls to the groundRainbows fly across the blue skyI love this beautiful seasonNice and sweet flowers sway in the windGreat scents swirl around the earth

Winter : Rhyming poem

As the glittering white flakes of snow gently fall down,the earth becomes a winter wonderland all around town,lights flicker on and the street becomes sweet, with clouds of minty air, the children laugh and play,as the lights give a mighty stare,The world becomes a happy place,with snowballs thrown in the face, and little puppy’s stay safe, sitting by the fire place,this is what winter time is like, it really is a wonderful sight, the snow will fall, from the clouds in the air,now winter time is really here!

Snowflakes : Haiku

Snowflakes crystal white,They cover the lonely ground,Coldness surrounds the earth.

Fall : acrostic poem Friendly trees leave their leaves Apples ripen crisp and red Leaves swirl to the ground Light surrounds us

Summer time fun : Acrostic poem Sunny days Umbrellas bloom over heads Many children run out to play More and more ice cream stores open Endings of summer Running out to play

My theme for poetry is . . . .

      A  FRIEND  FOREVER  TO  KEEP  Sarah Xie 4KC Date: February 17 2012

“ Mitzy, come on get inside” Hannah called out as she gently stroked her

kittens fur. Slowly the kitten stood up and walked over to the cage, but then sat

down again, licking its paws. Hannah flopped down on her bed and let out a

groan “How hard is it to get a kitten in its cage” she moaned as she stood up

again. She looked around the room nothing but piled up boxes in her bedroom.

She was moving to a new house and a new school losing friends she had for all

these years. She gently scooped up her kitten and held it close to her. Hannah

could feel the kitten’s breath on her cheek.

“ Hannah” her mother yelled from down stairs “ Get your things in the

truck its time to go!” Hannah shoved her kitten in its cage and brought her stuff

to the truck that would bring her stuff and her family’s things to their new house

in Ohio. After Hannah dumped all her things in the truck she got inside the car

with her kitten and slammed the door of the car.

“Meow” Mitzy called in her cage. “Meow.”

“Mom I am starving.’’ Hannah called from the back seat. “I guess Mitzy is

hungry to. ”Hannah’s mother joked while driving down the highway. “Your

snacks are in the blue backpack sitting beneath your feet Hannah.”

“Mommy I want to eat to.” Hannah’s little sister Rachel said.

“Get something to eat from Hannah, Rachel.” Hannah’s mother said.

After an hour had past in the car they got to their new house in Ohio. “Screech”

the car made a sound as Hannah’s mother pulled up in front of the house. ”I

guess we are here!” Hannah’s mother sighed tiredly as she opened the car door.

As Hannah stepped out of the car she looked up at the new house. “Wow”

she gasped as she looked up at the house.

“ Its like a mansion here” she thought. The house shone in the sunlight

like crystal, the bricks shimmered when it caught the sunlight. The grass that

was growing around it was dark green, and here the flowers seemed to dance like

it was happy to live in such a beautiful place. “Its beautiful” she whispered.

Her mother opened the door to the house and it creaked open. “Wow its

so beautiful here.” Hannah said again. The living room had walls painted the

color a bright green and the sofa was made of leather, the TV was black and it

was a big screen TV.

Hannah hadn’t gotten to explore the other rooms until she was done

unpacking her things. Her mother showed her the room she was going to sleep

in. Inside was a bed that was the color of whip cream, there were shelves made of

wood, a working table so she could do her homework, and lots of other things.

“I guess this place is okay,” she thought that night lying on her bed. “I

guess’’ she said again as she drifted of into a deep sleep.

“Who is your teacher” Hannah asked her little sister Rachel as they were

eating breakfast the next morning.

“Mrs. Malarkey,’’ Rachel answered chewing up her food. Hannah got up

from the breakfast table and put her fur jacket on.

“Lets get going Rachel,” Hannah said. “We don’t want to miss the bus.”

As Rachel put on her jacket Hannah went to feed her kitten some cat nip. After

Hannah got back she pulled her backpack over her and stepped outside in the

morning breeze.

“Good morning young lady,” The bus driver said as Hannah opened the

door of the bus.

“Good morning,’’ Hannah replied as she got on the bus. “Hannah took

her seat next to a girl with blonde hair and blue eye’s.

“Hello” the girl next to Hannah said quietly. Not knowing who it was

Hannah turned around hoping to find the person that said it. “hello” she said

again. Hannah saw who it was, the girl sitting next to her.

“Hi,’’ Hannah replied. Giving her a cheerful smile. “What’s your name,”

Hannah asked her.

“ My name is Sky Wallirice,” the girl said. “Are you new,” she asked

“Yes I am new,” Hannah said “and my name is Hannah Mallor .”

“ If you want I can show you around the school,” Sky offered shyly

Hannah smiled “Sky probably just wants to make friends,” Hannah

thought ”And I think I just might need a friend.” The bus pulled up in front of

the school and Sky and Hannah walked with each other to the high school.

“Um so who is your teacher,” Hannah asked as they walked down the

hallways.

“ My teacher is Mrs.Colan,” Sky said.

“My teacher is Mrs.Colan to!” Hannah said happily knowing someone

she knew was in the same class as her.

“I think we are at her classroom” Sky said as she opened the door of the

classroom.

“Hello girls,” a woman with curly blonde hair and a cheerful said as they

entered the classroom. “My name is Lily Colan, but you can call me Mrs.Colan.

“I know you Sky, and you must be the new student,” she said pointing to

Hannah.

“Yeah I am the new student and my name is Hannah Mallor.”

“Yes now take your seat you can sit next to Michelle,’’ She said pointing

to a girl with the same colored brown hair and lime green eyes. “as the teacher

was chatting away, Hannah noticed a girl sitting about a few rows away from

her. She looked like she just came out of a photo shoot because of all the things

she was wearing like designer clothes. Hannah got bored of staring at her so she

went on listening to the teacher.

After the bell rang meaning first class was over, Hannah stepped out of

the classroom. She saw the girl that she noticed in class with a bunch of other

girls.

Then suddenly out of nowhere she said “ Hey look over there that’s the

new girl,” “I think her name was um oh yeah Handy manny.” Hannah’s face

turned as red as a tomato she knew what Handy Mandy was, it was a little kids

cartoon. They laughed and laughed until Hannah couldn’t bear it anymore.

Hannah was about to leave when Sky stepped out of the classroom. As soon as

Sky stepped out of the classroom they stopped laughing and acted as if they

didn’t know anything that happened. Hannah wondered why.

Hannah stood there still looking at them her face still as red as a tomato.

“ Oh hi Hannah” Sky said.

“ Oh hi Sky,” she said.

“Is there anything wrong Hannah?” Sky asked her.

“No” Hannah said shaking her head.

“ Lets go get ready for Art,” She said as she took Hannah’s hand.

Together they walked down the hall to art class.

“Oh my you draw really good,” Sky said admiring Hannah’s bowl of fruit

that she had drawn. They were in art class drawing thing’s that represent the

fall. They were drawing this because their teacher had asked them to draw it for

a mini art contest that would be held this Wednesday. The person that won the

mini art contest would go to the big art contest held this Saturday. The person

that won the contest would win 500 dollars and the drawing would be displayed

in front of the school. “As Hannah was painting she noticed the girl that had

been mean to her stick her tongue out at Hannah.

“Lets just hope she does not win,” Hannah said pointing to the girl that

had been mean to her.

“Oh that’s Jessica, “Sky said. “Why.”

“Oh nothing,” Hannah said.

“Wake Up Sleepy Head” Hannah’s mother called out in Hannah’s ear.

“Huh what where what” “Oh its just a dream “Hannah said as she got

up.

“Hannah honey its Wednesday today and it’s the of who is going to be

picked for competing in the art contest.” “Get up and get dressed. Hannah got

up from bed and walked over to the sink brushed her teeth and washed her face.

Then she looked in the closet for clothes. She slipped her green and white-

stripped shirt on, skinny jeans, green and white sneakers, and pulled a green

headband over her hair. She went over to her bookshelf and pulled out three

books put the things in her backpack along with her homework. She brought her

backpack down stairs.

A smell surrounded her. “Hmmm” “It smells like blueberry pancakes

Hannah thought thinking her mother made blueberry pancakes.

“Oh this is so exiting, “Sky said happily bouncing up and down in her

seat. They were at school in the auditorium and the people were getting ready to

pick the winner of the mini art contest.

Suddenly the whole auditorium was full of music and then a voice

boomed over them. “Welcome to the mini art contest,” “We have already picked

the winner we hope you don’t get sad if it is not who you want it to be,” The

voice boomed. “THE WINNER IS ... HANNAH MALLOR IN MRS.COLANS

CLASS!” People from Hannah’s class screamed with happiness her teacher also

did that to. Hannah just starred thinking about what had happened.

That night Hannah was too happy to sleep she thought and thought about

what had happened but then she couldn’t stay up any longer and fell asleep.

The Saturday that the art contest is held is finally here! Hannah thought.

She was at the art competition waiting for it to start. Her classmates were there

to cheer her on and other schools were competing against her. After a few

minutes the art contest started. Hannah was led up to the stage and was starting

to draw and add color like the others. The drawings were finished after forty

minutes, some were paintings some were sketches. Hannah had drawn a picture

of her kitten and painted it. The judges were looking around at the drawing’s

they had drawn some were smiling at art work some were nodding there heads.

Hannah held her breath as they returned back to their seat whispering at each

other pointing them. Then they were all allowed to go back to the drawing they

had drawn. Then stood they’re silently waiting for the judges to finish.

“We have picked out the winner of the contest and don’t be to

disappointed when you hear the final results. In first place comes . . . . . .

Hannah Mallor from The American public School. In second place is Emily beru

from Norway High School. And in third place is John litin from American High

School. “Hannah’s eyes suddenly lit up with happiness it was the first time she

smiled this week well her first week at school. Because of Jessica the girl she

hated for some reason but didn’t know why she hated her, probably because of

all the mean things Jessica had done like making fun of her.

When Hannah had received the money and first place ribbon Jessica

walked up to her. Jessica’s face had a weird expression.

“Hi Hannah,” Jessica said in a small voice loud enough for her to hear. “I

just want to tell you congratulations on the art contest.” “Sorry for being so

mean to you,” She said again this time with her face down. “All I wanted to do is

make friends with other people and make them think I am fun but it turned out I

couldn’t by being mean to other people. “Sorry,” she said again

“Oh its okay,” Hannah said feeling sorry for her. “ If you want some

friends you could be friends with me,” she said.

“Oh really, “Jessica said surprised.

“Yeah I mean it doesn’t hurt to be friends,” Hannah said feeling happy

again.

“Thanks,” Jessica said smiling a smile of pure friendship.

“Wait before you leave, when you made fun of me before art class on the

first day of school, when Sky stepped out of the classroom why did you stop

laughing with the other girls? “Hannah asked curiously.

“Oh that is because Sky is our principles daughter Mrs. Wallirice,”

Jessica said simply.

“Oh,” Hannah said surprised that she had a friend that was the principles

daughter.

“Well then bye I will see you on Monday,” Jessica said running of to keep

up with the others.

“Bye, “Hannah said.

It was Monday again the beginning of a new week. Hannah was cleaning

up her locker when a bunch of people came to congratulate her on the art

contest. After they went back to chatting and things that were allowed to do

before school. Then she thought about Jessica, and how they made friends.

Hannah felt happy inside; After all it’s always nice to have a friend to keep

forever!

Water Gun Fight Nov. 8 2011 Sarah Xie

‘’ plop splash’’ I was at the camping ground kicking stones into a nearby

pond. Some of my friends were doing the same. Most of us were doing the same

because we were all bored! I got board of that to. So I went over to the box of ice

and grabbed a hand full of ice and stuffed it down my back. "Freezing" I

said" tha-tha- that’s c-cold. ‘’ Then that gave me an idea! "Wouldn’t it be

funny if I threw some ice down my friend Kathy’s (Kathrin) back? "I asked

myself as I giggled under my breath.

So then I went over to my friend quietly so my friend would not

hear. Then gently placed my hand down her back and dropped it down. "Cold "!

She screamed, what was that for? ''She asked. "I don't know"? I said. "I guess I

was just a little bored "I said

Then suddenly my friends came over, "what should we play"? Austin said.

“I’m thinking about it “I said. “How about we play water gun fight "I

suggested. “Hey great idea ”Kathy said. The rest also agreed. Then we all got

our water guns. "Okay lets split into boys v. s girls . . . . . is that okay?" Kathy

asked.

"Sure okay lets just get on with the action and squirting the and the

running" Justin said.” Be quiet ”Kathy said. “Okay enough with the

blabbering ”Kathy said. “ Lets play’’. We got in our places“ READY SET GO "!

Someone announced! Then we ran.

I ran as fast as I could with my pal Megan by my side! "Boys

coming "she said. And sure enough there were two boys were running straight

toward us. "Its to far to see who they are "I said. "It doesn’t matter who they are!

Just hide . . . .NOW! She said. So Megan and me ducked behind a bush, and

luckily they didn’t see us.

"Where did they go? They hid so quickly"! Ryan said. Then I heard who it was

it was Ryan and Austin! Oh no I thought if they find us we are sure to loose!

Then I remembered! The water gun! Without any warning I jumped up and

sprayed them. “Shhhhhhhhh” a beam of water shot out of the gun. The water

sprayed them. "Shoot" Ryan and Austin said all soaked and wet. “You shot

them”! Megan said. “Yeah I sure did”! I said” Come on let’s go help the others! ”

Megan said. “And shoot the boys” I added on. Then Megan and me ran off into

the clearing.
