Welcome to The Splash! A Note from the Editors
Thank you to the students
who submitted their writing
to this issue of The Splash!
Did you know that you’ve
done something magical? It’s
true! Writers are people who
turn words into worlds. You
may have visited the world of
Hogwarts in J.K. Rowlings’
Harry Potter series or the
world of Narnia in the series
by C.S. Lewis. Other authors
create realistic worlds filled
with familiar characters and
situations—like Greg Heffley
in Jeff Kinney’s Wimpy Kid
series or Junie B. Jones in the
series by Barbara Park.
Writing gives you the power
to create. It gives you the
power to express your
opinions and ideas. Writing
can convince readers to
take action. It can make
readers see the world in a
new way.
If you missed the deadline
for this issue, it’s not too
late to create a world of
your own. Watch for your
opportunity to submit to
the spring edition of The
Splash!
Meanwhile, enjoy the story
worlds created by your
friends at Clark Elementary.
Authors love to know that
people have read their
writing, so be sure to
congratulate your friends
who have writing in this
issue of The Splash!
Did you know that you’ve done something

Simon the Siamese
By Paige Huffman, Grade 5
“Hello! I’m Simon the Siamese cat.” Simon says.
“Hmm I want some milk.” Simon says looking at the kitchen. Simon leaped onto the counter, the refrigerator, and the oven, but no milk.
“Maybe I should look in the garden.” Simon thought. Simon ran as fast as his little legs could carry him. Simon jumped in the bushes, the dirt, and the flowers. Simon got all dirty, but no milk.
“Maybe when I get clean I can look in the bathroom,” Simon thought. Simon went upstairs and ran to the bathroom.
“Ouch!” Simon said. Simon bonked his head on the tub. He tackled the shower curtain
and toilet paper, but no milk. Simon pit patted down the stairs and went back to the living room.
“Oh!” Simon meowed. There was the milk in the middle of the living room.
“That was quite an adventure!”

The Night My Dogs Ate Ice
by Sanaya Telang, Grade 1
Dogs are special because they are loyal. My characters are my dogs who are named
SAISHA and STEELU.
One night SAISHA and STEELU were having some fun and I was also eating ice. We were
having lots of ice. I kept on getting lots of ice out. I have an ice thing that we push a button
for the ice to come out and it made a sound. That made me laugh.
My puppy SAISHA was running away from the ice when the ice was falling. STEELU was
watching SAISHA. I was watching her too. She did a gulp. That was funny. SAISHA was
hiding behind the wall when the ice was falling down. That happened in my kitchen.
The people who were there were my mom, my puppy, my dog and me and I stepped on
the ice pieces on the ground. The ice felt cold. I was smiling and laughing when I stepped
on the ice. The ice came from the refrigerator but the coldness from the refrigerator is
making ice. The refrigerator right by the cooker.
It was the cutest thing when SAISHA was hiding behind the kitchen wall. There was a
square kitchen wall. My dad was standing behind the square kitchen wall.
